    So, obvious question (to me), which result set do trans people end up following?

      At first I thought this was a troll, but in the article: “These findings may be due to several factors, including synergistic interactions with estrogen, differences in how women's bodies process the drug, and women's lower median body weight."

      If a trans person is getting hormone treatment, it’s at least an interesting question which might shed light on the mechanisms.

        Why would this be a troll?

          That’s a common rhetorical setup for culture war posts trying to undermine trans identities.

    Men should get extra support due to the inherent disadvantage. It would be unfair and unequal otherwise.

    Why is this kinda thing still a surprise in 2026? Weren’t they tested in both men and women?
