Just wanted to bring this to everyone's attention. UCSF has just launched a major Popp'study of LGBTQ Heath! To to be eligible you have to be an LGBTQ adult in the United States. Here's a link at HRC describing it:

You can sign up for the study online here:

Here's a paragraph from HRC describing the study:

hrc/By Gabe  Murchison    05/08/2017

"The PRIDE Study, funded by a grant from the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute, fills an urgent need for research on the health of LGBTQ people. Bias and discrimination have created numerous health disparities (preventable health differences) between LGBTQ people and their non-LGBTQ counterparts. Although scientists have made major progress in identifying these problems and designing ways to address them, many research studies and medical records still collect little or no information about sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression—hampering efforts to identify and correct disparities."

Ok, so I just want to say I have no affiliation to this study. I follow HRC on Twitter and saw it there. So I signed up for the study today and it was awesome! They have nearly 6000 LGBTQ signed up. But there was less than 300 mtf. Come on everyone we need to represent!
These guys are serious about LGBTQ health! I was even able to sync my fitbit to the study to provide more health data.
If you can't sign up or don't want to at the very least spread the word about "The Pride Study". MAKE YOUR HEALTH COUNT!
