I don't necessarily blame Kailey. Doctors are telling trans men that medical transition is safe, that they have the same risk a natal male would have on testosterone. Clearly that's not the case.

From what I have read, trans men overall have the same life expectancy as non-trans men, which is slightly shorter than for women.

"From what I have read." Source? The evidence for that is zero. I don't doubt Kailey read it, but who is giving out that information? If doctors are telling trans men they can expect to live the lifespan of an average man, where the hell are they getting that data?

I'm sure Kailey didn't think he, too, would be dead shortly.
