Gender-affirming hormone therapy marks a profound change in the lives of transgender individuals, not only concerning their identity but also their physical health and overall well-being. The complexity of hormones and their effects on the human body has long been the subject of study and discussion. Recent research has highlighted how hormones not only influence sexual characteristics and behavior but also exert significant pleiotropic effects on various biological systems. Additionally, many studies have shown that numerous pathologies, including hemostatic disorders, manifest differently between the sexes, regardless of individual risk factors. Exploring these dimensions enriches the scientific literature and helps fill existing gaps in our understanding of the mechanisms regulating health in diverse contexts. Through an analysis of the intersections between identity, health, and well-being, we move towards a more inclusive and informed approach that can guide clinical practices and promote a better understanding of the unique challenges faced by transgender individuals.
La terapia ormonale di affermazione di genere segna un profondo cambiamento nella vita delle persone transgender, non solo per quanto riguarda la loro identità, ma anche sulla loro salute fisica e benessere complessivo. La complessità degli ormoni e dei loro effetti sull’organismo umano è da tempo oggetto di studio e discussione. Recenti ricerche hanno evidenziato come gli ormoni non solo influenzino le caratteristiche sessuali ed il comportamento, ma esercitino anche effetti pleiotropici significativi su vari sistemi biologici. In aggiunta, molti studi hanno evidenziato come molte patologie, tra cui anche le malattie emo-coagulative, si manifestino in modo diverso nei due sessi, a prescindere dai fattori di rischio individuali. Esplorare queste dimensioni consente di arricchire la letteratura scientifica e di colmare le lacune esistenti nella conoscenza dei meccanismi che regolano la salute nei contesti di diversità. Attraverso un'analisi delle intersezioni tra identità, salute e benessere, si avanza verso un approccio più inclusivo e informato che possa guidare le pratiche cliniche e promuovere una maggiore comprensione delle sfide uniche affrontate dalle persone transgender.

Abstract
Gender-affirming hormone therapy marks a profound change in the lives of transgender individuals, not only concerning their identity but also their physical health and overall well-being. The complexity of hormones and their effects on the human body has long been the subject of study and discussion. Recent research has highlighted how hormones not only influence sexual characteristics and behavior but also exert significant pleiotropic effects on various biological systems. Additionally, many studies have shown that numerous pathologies, including hemostatic disorders, manifest differently between the sexes, regardless of individual risk factors. Exploring these dimensions enriches the scientific literature and helps fill existing gaps in our understanding of the mechanisms regulating health in diverse contexts. Through an analysis of the intersections between identity, health, and well-being, we move towards a more inclusive and informed approach that can guide clinical practices and promote a better understanding of the unique challenges faced by transgender individuals.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
