What people are saying
The discussions reflect a nuanced interest with some posts emphasizing the physiological details, such as the loss of muscle mass in trans women and its implications, using precise figures like 'trans women lose around 2.4 kg lean body mass.' The tone varies from scientific analysis to societal questions, showing moderate impact, but the focus remains on understanding health and performance effects of hormone therapy.
Most discussions acknowledge the research findings, especially around body composition changes, indicating general agreement.
The mention of specific physiological effects and the implications for health and athletic performance demonstrates a high level of engagement and curiosity.
Posts reference detailed results from the meta-analysis, such as lean body mass changes and implications for cardiometabolic risks, showing thoughtful engagement.
The discussions highlight concerns about health, athletic performance, and societal impacts, suggesting moderate recognition of the study's significance.
Abstract in brief
- Cross-sex hormone therapy in transgender individuals causes changes in body weight, body fat, and lean body mass, with men to women gaining weight and fat but losing lean muscle, and women to men gaining weight and muscle but losing fat.
- The meta-analysis found that male-to-female transgender people experience an average weight increase of about 1.8 kg, with an increase in body fat and a decrease in lean muscle, whereas female-to-male transgender people have similar weight gains with different body composition changes.
- These changes in body composition may elevate the risk of cardiometabolic diseases, especially for male-to-female individuals who gain fat and lose muscle during hormone therapy.]

@IAmDeathRay Okay fine, allow me to back it up with the research of some of the referenced scientists. https://t.co/BbYzHR1Cdq https://t.co/MCga1hLe4M https://t.co/N0toAFTs6v https://t.co/0QJnDgX4VJ https://t.co/9DbJ3JvnqL https://t.co/1ifj59dI7Z https://t.co/iXkLjnbpbE
@Phildidgee @GraceTveit @Scienceofsport @spikesandspokes Well I found your study. And it says nothing about athletic performance. At all. https://t.co/mPBirS8Bgy
@mr_croconuts @bluetrader660 @EvelynLouise8 @chasestrangio Because inhave a life and finding sources takes time. https://t.co/3ay7IWENRw The above article shows that trans men gain mucle mass on hrt and trans women lose muscle mass on hrt. It also shows that trans women gain fat mass and trans men lose fat mass.
