Hormone replacement therapy and video games: Anna Anthropy talks Dy5phoria
Whereas women once chatted openly about their hormone-therapy regimens, they now confess their dependence on estrogen in a whisper, as though it were an illicit street drug. Chalk it up to the 2002 report from the Womens Health Initiative, when researchers announced that the popular drug Prempro a combination of estrogen and progestin raised the risk of breast cancer, stroke, heart attack, and blood clots. The study was stopped, and millions of women threw away their hormones. But then came what sounded like a reversal: In 2004, additional WHI data crunching showed that women taking estrogen alone were not more likely to develop breast cancer or have heart attacks (though the higher risks for strokes and blood clots still stood). And just last year, two studies on women in their 50s suggested that taking estrogen alone might actually protect middle-aged womens hearts.

AATheres a level in Dy5phoria when I was groped by the TSA at the airport. The way that big horrible scanning thing works is theres a button with a female and a male button. Ive had it go either way. This particular time I got scanned as male. On the screen parts of me came up as suspicious areas, and there on the screen there were squares around my tits. My tits came up as an anomaly, and this guy (security) was obliged to grope my breasts.

Hormone Therapy Linked to Higher Breast Cancer Death Risk
The results, from an 11-year follow up with more than 12,000 women who were randomly assigned to receive either the combination hormone therapy or a placebo, found 385 women taking the therapy developed an aggressive form of breast cancer, compared to 293 in the placebo group. Twenty-five women who took hormone therapy died from breast cancer during the study, compared to 12 women in the placebo group. null “It is early in the follow-up and the number of breast cancer deaths will certainly substantially increase as we move forward,” said Dr. Rowan Chlebowski, professor of medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles, and lead author of the study.
