People should be more curious about what the heck is going on with trans people on a physical, biological, level. I think this is could be a good citizen science research project for y’all since gender dysphoria afflicts a lot of us in this community, and knowledge leads to better detection and treatment. Many trans-women especially do a ton of research/experimentation themselves. Or so I hear. I actually haven’t received any mad-science google docs of research from any trans person yet. What’s up with that? Who’s working on this?
- trans is comorbid with adhd, autism, and connective tissue disorders. - what’s the playbook for connective tissue disorders? Should more people try supplementing collagen? it’s cheap! - trans is slightly genetic. which genes? - do any non-human animals have similar conditions? - is the late-transitioning + female-attraction / early-transitioning + male-attraction typology for trans-women real? like are these traits actually bimodal or is it more linear and correlated? - best ways to maintain sexual desire and performance on feminizing hrt.
but probably best research directions are ones I haven’t thought of. there’s so much we don’t know (or or maybe just so much I don’t know) just gotta keep pulling threads until we get answers!

- Dr Powers’s powerpoint deck
