"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. Transgender medicine researchers said doctors need more research to better understand how to treat transgender patients."

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.
