Given the growth of various trans medical and psychological interventions over the past years, is anybody aware of any science being attempted on long term outcomes? Is there any effort to do cognitive testing, genetic dispositions for disease, changes to expected probabilities regarding mental and physical health over decade?
Such research is not pc, I’m afraid. In fact, why would you ask that, you intolerant gob?
Seriously: The research I’ve seen has shown shorter life spans, higher rates of communicable diseases, substance use disorders, and suicide rates both with and without completed transition.
Yes, but the few things I've run across are very small samples over months rather than years. I haven't anything published about what is in the works presently given the growing number of cases available for study.
@govols I am pretty sure the numbers are known. I suspect if we had access to insurance mortuary tables (which some do, no doubt), or compared rate quotes that would shed some light, but the other comorbid variables such as smoking, occupation, etc would need to be analyzed objectively, like by an unbiased insurance agent, if that’s not oxymoronic.
Wow. I wouldn't have thought of actuaries. But, yep, I'm sure they're all over it...very damned quietly. And some time in the coming years we'll be arguing over regulation that prevent insurers discriminating through sound statistical analysis and premiums.
SMH, thanks.
