81% Informative
Study is one of the largest yet to examine how gender-affirming hormone therapy ( GAHT ) affects the immune system over time.

The study is important because physicians want GAHT “to be safe, of course”.
Transmasculine person (assigned female at birth but identifying with masculinity) has autoimmune condition called Sjögren ’s syndrome.
Jamie has traded testosterone therapy for an immunosuppressant called adalimumab (sold as Humira ) in an effort to improve their health.
