Conclusions (from the Abstract)

State-level anger intensity is associated with psychological and/or psychiatric vulnerability, but not exogenous testosterone therapy or serum testosterone levels in transgender people.

5. Conclusions

The current study indicates that gender affirming testosterone treatment does not affect state-level anger intensity in [trans men] nor [trans women …]. [Trans men] with lower serum testosterone levels after three months were more likely to have persistent menstruation. Persistent menstrual spotting resulted in higher state-level anger intensity. We suggest adding a progestin or a GnRH analogue to the treatment regimen if the presence of menstruation/spotting is distressing. In addition, [trans men] and [trans women] with psychological and/or psychiatric vulnerability and/or higher negative affect were more likely to experience higher state-level anger intensity, but they did not experience an increase in state-level anger intensity after the initiation of gender affirming hormone therapy. Therefore, we conclude that gender affirming hormone therapy can safely be initiated in transgender people with psychological and/or psychiatric vulnerability.
