@_oatc_ It is up to patients whether they disclose their gender history to their doctor. If they want to be recorded in their medical notes as cisgender they can do that, and labs will report cisgender reference ranges for them.

@_oatc_ In practice you can't identify whether people are trans or not using the routine laboratory tests we're studying, and the results of this study won't change that. That's because the pattern of results seen in trans people can also be caused by many conditions, or random chance.

@_oatc_ @Lisa_Fajita @drmbrady This won't affect the privacy of trans patients – it will remain up to them whether they disclose their gender history to their doctor.

[TransRIHTS study @transrihtsstudy]

@_oatc_ @Lisa_Fajita @drmbrady Doctors already take into account other reasons for blood test results to vary: including age, sex/gender, pregnancy and ethnicity, so we hope that giving them information about the effects of hormone therapy can help to normalise caring for trans patients.

[TransRIHTS study @transrihtsstudy]

@Lisa_Fajita @_oatc_ @drmbrady Trans people have all sorts of non-hormone blood tests as part of their general healthcare, and our study is finding out how those are affected by hormone therapy. We hope when they go to their GP, our results will help doctors understand which non-hormone results are normal.

@Lisa_Fajita @_oatc_ @drmbrady Hi Lisa, you're right, the appropriate hormone levels will be different for different people, and we'd love it if there were more evidence out there about the best way to use HRT to meet people's gender goals.

[TransRIHTS study @transrihtsstudy]

@_oatc_ @drmbrady Hi oatc, the study isn't focussing on the hormone concentrations themselves, but on other blood tests that are affected by hormones. We hope the results will improve the general healthcare trans people receive.

Really important study published in @TheLancet today detailing the monkeypox experience in cis & trans women and non-binary people. So pleased to see the inclusion of trans and non-binary people who are too often ignored in research 👏🏽👏🏽
