So far, and I’ll have to get the data from my doctor but we talk about things like this in depth, as far as we’ve been able to tell trans people do have disease curves that shift away from birth assigned risks towards my gender’s risks (for me I move away from things like testicular and prostate cancers and towards breast cancer). The thing to note, though, is my current risk of breast cancer is far from my age bracket’s risk. I’m in the 35-40 age bracket, but due to transitioning late in life I probably have somewhere near a 20-year-old’s risk, and I’ll pretty much remain in a lower aged risk group for my entire life. But my risk does significantly increase over a male’s risk; it’s the nature of having actual breast tissue.
