"A medical school professor wants to provide better care for transgender patients.

Michael Irwig, an associate professor of medicine and the director of the Center for Andrology, published a paper last week outlining the desired and undesired effects of testosterone therapy for transgender men.

I heartily agree. It's an embarrassment how little the medical community knows about transgender people and the effects of transgender care. Thanks for finding this article, Stephanie.
