Chelsea Manning, who last year announced her gender transition, has petitioned a Kansas court to legally recognize her chosen name, Chelsea Elizabeth Manning. Manning, who is currently serving a 35 year sentence for leaking classified documents to WikiLeaks, has also requested hormone replacement therapy, according to an announcement from her support network. In the face of military opposition, the American Civil Liberties Union plans to assist attorney David Coombs in advocating for Chelseas right to receive [hormone replacement therapy], according to the announcement. There is already precedent in federal courts establishing this right for transgender prisoners. We are confident that with adequate public and legal pressure, the military court and military prison system will follow suit. Military prisons do not provide hormone replacement therapy or other transition support because of a blanket ban on transgender service members. But, as Salon has previously noted, an expert commission has recently called on the Obama Administration to drop the policy prohibiting trans people from serving. The Williams Institute estimates that around 15,500 trans personnel are currently in the military, though, because of the prohibition on out trans service members, they have been forced to serve in secret. The commission concluded that facilitating trans … Continue reading →

by Jennifer Kraus Consumer Investigator NASHVILLE, Tenn.-- Hormone replacement therapy was a multimillion-dollar business for one Nashville company, but did high pressure sales tactics put patients at risk? We now have an inside look at the way HRC Medical tried to entice people to sign up for its lucrative and controversial program. The state shut down HRC for deceptive business practices after NewsChannel 5 Investigates raised questions about patients being overdosed on hormones at its Nashville clinic. Now, a training video produced by HRC Medical for its clinics around the country has surfaced. It was supposed to teach the company's salespeople how to get patients to commit to a year's worth of hormone therapy -- without undergoing a single medical test. Don Hale, one of the two founders of HRC Medical, appears in the nearly 12-minute video, explaining how HRC wants its salespeople to "close the deal." "What I'm going to try to do today is give you an outline of what to do in a consult and how we want it handled," Hale said in the video. The video was shown in court as part of the state's long running lawsuit against Don Hale and his brother Dan, who … Continue reading →

The FDA is currently investigating the risk of heart attack, stroke and death among individuals using a form of testosterone therapy treatment. The FDA made it clear that testosterone products are approved only for use in men who lack or have low testosterone levels in conjunction with an associated medical condition. Now, according to an article in the Herald Tribune, some critics find the testosterone therapy treatment trend [is] reminiscent of another hormonal regimen with a sexy allure, hormone replacement therapy in women. The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) conducted a clinical trial to find the benefits and risks of the combination of estrogen and progestin in healthy menopausal women between the ages of 50 and 79 years old. The trial was a component of the Womens Health Initiative (WHI). Researchers wanted to find the effect of estrogen plus progestin on the prevention of heart disease and hip fractures, and any associated change in risk for breast and colon cancer. The study found an increase in risk for strokes, heart attacks, blood clots, breast cancer, and cardiovascular disease. It found a decrease in hip fractures, total fractures, and colorectal cancer. The trial was stopped early due to the … Continue reading →

Published 12 March 2014 Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) given soon after menopause could help reduce the risk of developing dementia or mild cognitive impairment. This is according to a study published in the journal Plos One today (Wednesday 12 March). The study, led by Standford University School of Medicine, found that hormone therapy, initiated soon after menopause, prevented degeneration in key brain regions of women who were at heightened dementia risk. This heightened risk of developing dementia was defined by having a history of major depression, having a first-degree relative with the condition or having the Apo4 allele gene a gene variant known to greatly increase someone's risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. Of the 45 post-menopausal women who remained in the study, 28 remained on HRT and 17 stopped using it. Brain images taken at the outset and compared to two years later indicated that metabolic activity in the medial prefrontal cortex essential to decision making was better preserved among participants who remained on hormone therapy. Of the two HRT drugs taken by those in the study, estradiol in pure form and Premarin (a brand name part made up of estradiol), pure estradiol saw the largest effect in preserving metabolic … Continue reading →
