Welcome to Trans-Health!

 

Welcome to Trans-Health, a volunteer-run website providing information on health and fitness for trans people.

Trans Health has moved! We'd like to thank whatexit.org for all of their support over the years and the folks at tgforum.com for their generous offer of hosting and resources.

What do you think about our new format? Let us know!

Is this your first time visiting Trans-Health?

The articles on Trans-Health are divided into thematic sections and subsections. For example, the section on hormones has subsections for Androgens and Estrogens. Our articles are assigned to the sections and subsections. You can browse all of a section's articles by clicking on the section's title in the navigation bar to the right. For your convenience, we might place an article in multiple sections if we think it will help people find what they are looking for.

You can also search for articles containing a word or phrase by typing that word or phrase into the search box at the top right of the page and clicking the "Search" button.

Endocrine Disruptors and the Transgendered
It's a fact that harmful chemicals like DDT are responsible for certain intersex conditions, but have the increased presence of human-made chemicals in the environment created a rise in the transgender population? For an environmental perspective on the incidence of transsexuality and intersexuality, read Christine Johnson's Endocrine Disruptors and the Transgendered. Johnson is a co-founder of TransAdvocate, an educational and advocatory site about endocrine disruptors and trans civil rights.
