I might go off on a tangent here but all this talk about data and studies makes me wonder what would happen if some researcher gave people who think they are trans placebos instead of actual hormones. Especially to the non-binary crowd. I think the results of that would be interesting. Although in the current year of the rainbow an experiment like that would be a (trans-) human rights violation, even with volunteering participants.

I've been wondering the same. Taking hormones is a very strange act and seems motivated by the urge to become more like gender x because they make more of x hormone but I'm not so sure all their specific effects are what's truly wanted. So, placebo would be interesting. Also I'm sure physiology is more complex than just estrogen and testo.
