An in depth study which looks into how HRT changes the metabolism of trans men and women. Since many metabolic processes are sexually dimorphic this study can help determine to what extent pre-transition development vs subsequent HRT may effect the metabolism of trans people in contrast to cis people.
The Papers page is a thorough compendium of up-to-date trans-specific research with a high quality of evidence, as well as guides on ways to access them, or find more research.
It is at the heart of all our goals stated in the "About Us" tab below, and one of the more polished articles on the wiki having been curated by our research librarian LilianaUmbra.
The non-binarization category contains a list of all our pages that have elements which are not necessarily specific to either masculinization or feminization. Though we do understand many individuals identifying as non-binary may make use of the information from other categories.
The feminization category contains a list of all our pages relevant to the phenomenon of feminization, which can be useful for people wishing to research ways to feminize themselves as well as those who wish to understand more about how puberty feminizes the body.
The masculinization category contains a list of all our pages relevant to the phenomenon of masculinization, which can be useful for people wishing to research ways to masculinize themselves as well as those who wish to understand more about how puberty masculinizes the body.
Some useful categories for navigation.

[+] About Us
This wiki contains everything a budding mad (gender) scientist needs to further their work! Specifically, the driving goals behind this wiki are to:
Educate ourselves about the biology underlying transition and developmental sex differentiation.
Postulate and collect a compendium of hypothetical treatments that warrant further research.
Reduce harm by bringing together official standards of care for gender identities and intersex conditions.
Enable access to needed information freely to those who require help navigating the systems.
Provide a forum for people whom these conditions affect the most to become more educated and involved in the processes of their treatments, advancing healthcare ourselves!
We have transcribed them into wiki code and optimized for mobile devices to facilitate their transclusion into other articles where they need to be referenced.
