Reminder to all the lovely trans ladies out there to do breast exams monthly! Increased amounts of estrogen can increase your risk of breast cancer. [x] (HUGE cissexism warning in link because it refers to DMAB people as “males”)
That link would be more geared to hose who have not done hrt. Here are a few links talking about trans women who are doing hrt and their risks of breast cancer: [1] [2] (warning they do contain wording like “MTF” and “transsexual”)
Both links are actually aimed at both trans women and men (one even talks about intersex people) but has sections where they talk about trans women specifically.
No studies have been done on how breast cancer affects trans people tho, so there is very little information in these.
Ahh thanks friend! I thought it was a good link because it talks about the increased estrogen potentially causing problems; but I can totally see where it helps pre-HRT women as well. Thanks for the extra info and the better links!
Please reblog this version not the original
