In 2021, The Lancet published a study of 4,568 people who received hormone treatments between 1972 and 2018 at the gender identity clinic of Amsterdam University Medical Centre in The Netherlands. The study found, “No decreasing trend in mortality risk was observed over the five decades studied.” The study also found that men who received hormone treatments were 1.6 to 2.0 more likely to die over this period than other men, and women who received hormone treatments were 1.3 to 2.4 more likely to die over this period than other women. The government of The Netherlands boasts that it is one of the leading European nations for “social acceptance” of “LGBTI equality.”
