Good point! I must have misunderstood that reference! Yes, checked back and it's mixing trans and cis-gender studies, so I'm going to make a correction! Thanks for pointing this out. Doh. Feel stupid.

It says for trans-men: Transgender men on testosterone therapy are carefully monitored. If they're taking a high amount of the hormone—more than the body can use—it can chemically change and affect the uterus in the same way too much estrogen might.

The additional risks seem low, but I wonder if there's more to it with these leaked emails. Need more research!
