A member asked:

If a girl gets hrt to become male and removes her reproductive system does her life expectancy go down to that of a male's? or is it lower than that?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to speculate: We don't have a large group of these to study so the answer would be hard to come by.Since these folks also have a suicide risk that is cited as 70X greater than the average population, there is likely some effect that places on any number we would give.
