The scary thing about trans health care in general is that we know very little about long term effects. There aren't many trans indivuals who transitioned 20+ years ago and talked openly about their experiences. The only one who comes to mind is Buck Angel, who almost died because of complications 15 years down the line. So I can't really give you a clear answer about how trans individuals age.

That's not true. Many older women were on YouTube talking about the side effects of T and whatnot 10+ years ago. The lesbian guinea pigs have been telling their stories for years. No one really cares about them though. People really only care about what's happening to children/teens, not the 40+ year old women.

Interesting, do you have any good examples of this? I think I've heard of something similar.
