According to the study, gender-confused individuals who use cross-sex hormones have nearly seven times the risk of stroke and nearly six times the risk of heart attack.
(LifeSiteNews) — A study released this month shows that the use of cross-sex hormones among gender-confused individuals leads to “substantially increased risk” of serious cardiac issues, including heart attacks and strokes.
The research, presented at a conference of the American College of Cardiology, found that “people with gender dysphoria taking hormone replacements as part of gender affirmation therapy [sic] face a substantially increased risk of serious cardiac events, including stroke, heart attack and pulmonary embolism.”
The study results showed that cross-sex hormones were linked to “nearly seven times the risk of ischemic stroke (a blockage in a vessel supplying blood to the brain), nearly six times the risk of ST elevation myocardial infarction (the most serious type of heart attack) and nearly five times the risk of pulmonary embolism (a blockage in an artery in the lung).”
More than 21,000 gender-confused people across the United States were included in the research, 1,675 of whom used cross-sex hormones. The summary of results stated that “overall results found hormone replacements were associated with higher rates of cardiac events, mostly related to dangerous blood clots.”
Researchers noted that estrogen and testosterone are “known to increase the clotting activity of blood, which could explain the increase in clotting-related cardiovascular events” and that those taking the drugs experienced “higher rates of substance use disorder and hypothyroidism.”
They also pointed out that research on the long-term impact of hormone use is “primarily focused on younger women using hormone-based birth control or on older women following a hysterectomy or during menopause.”
The researchers concluded that there is a “need for enhanced screening and counseling before starting therapy [cross-sex hormone use].”
As the use of drugs to satisfy a perceived “gender identity” has increased, the long-term negative impacts of using cross-sex hormones have begun to become apparent.
In October, both a congressman and a pediatric surgeon criticized the trend to pump gender-confused children with cross-sex hormones, calling the practice “child abuse.” Pro-life physician and professor Dr. Michael Egnor further said that the lie that one can “transition” to the opposite sex is “a medical atrocity,” comparing mutilating surgeries and hormones to Nazi experiments.
An American Academy of Pediatrics executive admitted during a meeting last year that children who receive puberty blockers and cross sex hormones “probably will be infertile.” Last month, a study examining the impact of these hormones on the mental of teenagers found that the “most common adverse event was suicidal ideation.” Two of the study’s participants killed themselves.
LifeSiteNews previously reported on data which showed that over 14,000 U.S. children between ages 6 and 17 diagnosed with gender dysphoria were given dangerous cross-sex hormones between 2017 and 2021.
Last week, Dr. Robert Malone argued that while the adverse effects of blocking hormones in order to pump a healthy person full of dominant hormones of the opposite sex are well-documented, both members of the medical field and the public are choosing to ignore the risks.

Nested Replies Evangeline — 5 hours ago Sanity will return when doctors get sued for destroying the lives of these kids and young people. Right now Chloe Cole is suing her doctor for removing her breasts when she was 15. When doctors get sued for these crimes and acts of malfeasance, things will start to get better. Doctors have lost so much respect in the last few years, with good reason.
To this day, I wonder why they don’t try same sex hormones at the beginning of the treatment to see if that would help at all. That would be more in line with “do no harm”.
A male body is made for testosterone. A female body uses estrogen and progesterone.
“It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature!”
II hope these “gender clinics” get the living tar sued out of them in coming years.
I can’t say that this makes me sad except that the poor guys and or girls are being led like lambs.
Be. My. Guest.
Why isn’t there a website that details the harms of “gender affirming care”? It should list the dangers of cross-sex hormones, puberty blockers, breast and penis amputations, failure to achieve orgasm after puberty blockers and genital modifications, problems after genital mutilation like urinary, sex, etc. If anyone has a Twitter account and would tweet the website creation suggestion to Chloe Cole, I would greatly appreciate it.
You can’t mess with nature and then assume everything is gonna be OK.
Frankenstein was a Doctor.
Yea well alcohol, drugs, random sex with strangers, and STD’s all cause these things too, and these fools have all of them.
ROFL
Yep
Well, they're not "literally" Mengeles. Only Mengele is literally Mengele.
It does. I was listening to a podcast some ten years ago. It reported that a woman went in for a sex change, because she felt like a man. But she first became pregnant so, much to her dismay, she was placed on estrogen therapy for some reason related to her pregnancy.
And she no longer felt like a man! The estrogen made her feel like a woman, so she changed her mind about the sex change.
The doctor concluded that perhaps some people are sexually confused because they're low on their proper hormone.
Equivalent to, which is what I thought literally meant.
Bing definition -
literally: (adverb) In a literal manner or sense; exactly;
Informal: used for emphasis or to express strong feelings while not literally being true.
So, I guess I used literally informally.
Using cross sex hormones which work against the natural hormones of one’s body is like mixing up the spark plug wires on a car engine. Noting good can come of it.
Translation: the gender-confused who overload their systems with the opposite gender’s hormones are playing Russian Roulette ...
And there’s no such thing as “transgender hormones”
Thank you for relaying that story.
I have always thought this would help because of my son. He was always very small, more than 2-1/2 standard deviations off the growth curve charts.
When he was going into high school, we went to see a pediatric endocrinologist about this. We didn’t know if he was just short stature like people are in my family, or late bloomers, like they tend to be in my husband’s family. We discovered that he was producing growth hormone, but that his body wasn’t able to utilize it. The doctor suggested that we give him growth hormone shots daily, until his growth plates closed (also testosterone but not as often).
It worked! Our son began to catch up! He went from 4’ 9” (and 66 pounds) as a freshman to 5’ 9” as a senior. I don’t remember how much he weighed, but I would guess around 140. Still not a big guy, but definitely a better height and weight, closer to average in the growth charts.
