    • Sexual desire in trans people after HRT/SRS
    • “The majority of trans women reported a decrease in sexual desire after SRT, whereas the opposite was observed in trans men. Our results show a significant sexual impact of surgical interventions and both hormonal and surgical treatment satisfaction on the sexual desire in trans persons.”

  • InterPress Service: Lobe 19
    • One example of incredibly skewed media focus
    • The royal wedding received over triple the media coverage of Yemen in 2018
