Interesting how even now, in the US, courts are protecting trans children's healthcare data privacy rights.
In the UK, trans children's Sussex GP data was forcibly handed over to NHS England late last year.
& the law changed to force access to the data of 9,000 adults who were children at GIDS.

I recall a conversation back in 2016 with a speech psychologist studying hearing. There are well studied (but not well understood) differences in hearing between genders. She found that the hearing profiles of Trans women correspond to Cis women and Trans men to Cis men.
Scientific research of gender transition has been stuck on "should these people be allowed to transition" for 50 years, so we don't know shit about how transitioning actually works.
Okay, transphobes freaking out because trans woman makes good on Broadway, yadah, yadah. But you skimmed right over the interesting bit. Estrogen made her feet smaller?? This is the kind of weird factoid I need to know more about. Is there scientific backing for this? Is it just anecdotal?
