There's been lots of discussion lately regarding systematic reviews of evidence for #gender-affrimingcare for adolescents. In a new viewpoint with Annelou de Vries @thelancet.com, we take stock of 13 recent reviews and their (sometimes contradictory) conclusions. authors.elsevier.com/c/1ngt9V-4XW...

Humbled and happy to have received a Veni grant by the NWO (Dutch Research Council) to continue my work on ambivalence in close relationships! Especially now, as science funding faces increasing pressure worldwide, I'm deeply grateful for this opportunity. www.nwo.nl/en/researchp...

Transgender vrouwen hebben géén verhoogd risico op hartinfarct en beroerte | Amsterdam UMC
In tegenstelling tot wat blijkt uit eerdere onderzoeken hebben transgender vrouwen die het hormoon oestradiol gebruiken voor hun transitie, géén verhoogd risico op een hartinfarct en een beroerte in vergelijking met mannen uit de algehele Nederlandse bevolking. Dit blijkt uit een grootschalige studie van Amsterdam UMC met data van ruim 4.000 transgender personen.

I remember being sceptical reading some papers from the early 2000’s on rapid effects of androgens. And now several recent papers have now described membrane receptors for androgens (see also doi.org/10.1126/scis...)! And one already has an agonist!
doi.org
A plasma membrane–associated form of the androgen receptor enhances nuclear androgen signaling in osteoblasts and prostate cancer cells
Androgen receptor signaling at the membrane augments nuclear responses to androgens in two different cell types.
