Trans Digest

Image of candles off to each side with a blurred trans flag in the background and text reading "Transgender Day of Remembrance"

From Trans Digest to every transgender person, we hope you have had a good Transgender Awareness Week and a good Transgender Day or Remembrance. We will always honor those of us who we have lost and those who are still here. These are difficult times so please send love to each other today.

Bit of a bonus today but here is a table from said recent Estradiol study covering the difference in therapeutic levels. academic.oup.com/jes/article/...

Passages of a script on a word document reading "62. In medical news, the Journal of the Endocrine Society recently published a new study on the uses of Estradiol. 63. Estradiol is commonly used in hormone replacement therapy for trans women, and doctors may be considering a change in dosage. 64. Since 2009 doses have remained largely consistent with minor changes here or there. Then in 2017 doses for parenteral estradiol changed, while oral estradiol doses have remained the same. 65. Serum estradiol, or injections, can vary depending on preexisting conditions, and may not be available everywhere."

Quite happy to share this clip of the script for Transgender Awareness Week. New medical study findings on Estradiol can help provide better options for trans women!

FDA chief says warning labels deterred women from using menopause hormone therapy: "It's an American tragedy" In an interview with CBS News, FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary explains what went into the decision to drop the most serious warnings on hormone therapy for menopause.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration will remove the "black box" warning labels on many hormone therapy drugs used for menopause and perimenopause symptoms — a major turnaround that's likely to encourage more women to seek treatment.

For now, here is a sneak peek into our note book.

Pictured: graphic of open notebook on light blue background, with “Happy Trans Awareness Week” written on a piece of lined paper, secured with a paperclip. Three black and white photos are taped to the page — from top to bottom: Phyllis Frye attending a dinner party, Sylvia Rivera holding a banner that reads “And God created he and she but he also created me!,” and an autographed photo of Sir Lady Java wearing a fringe gown. “#DTA” and #TransWeek” is written on the bottom left of the page. The paper is also decorated with transgender flag stickers and star doodles.
