Trans life expectancy, part 2. As I mentioned previously, the often repeated numbers related to life expectancy or not accurate. In fact, none of the ways in which trans life expectancy is measures have measured up. lol While there are several studies that indicate that transgender folks have an increased mortality rate, these studies have not modelled life expectancy nor have they measured mortality correctly. Part of the problem is that they keep measuring trans people against the wrong groups of cisgender people. For example, trans men’s mortality is measured against cis women. That makes absolutely zero sense. The reality is that the qualitative and systematic research needed to calculate the average life expectancy of transgender people has not yet been done. And, any of that longitude oral research would need to be done in different countries, different major cities, all accounting for variables related to length of time on hormones, economic, and other stressors, etc., etc., etc.
