Endometriosis and Transgender

link> Endometriosis and Transgender: Beyond Gendered Reproductive Health

 "Endometriosis is often a very misunderstood, and under diagnosed disease affecting a significant population of women. It is typically classified as a gynaecological condition affecting the organs of the female reproductive system, or pelvic region. There are, of course, manifestations of the disease that can appear in other areas of the body, and do not have to correlate with the pelvic region, though endometriosis is most commonly referred to as a female disease.
There is a significant body of research exploring women with endometriosis, and their lived experiences, as well as how to treat women with endo, from a medical perspective. But what happens if the person with endometriosis is not a woman?" -Hormones Matter.com/FOX
