For your amusement, todays "awesome" medical research...
Better Cognitive Memory...
CONCLUSIONS: Results support the hypothesis that estrogen enhances short-term memory in genetic men.
Better Verbal Memory...
Results suggest a specific influence of estrogen in men on verbal memory tasks, similar to that seen in prior studies of women.
Stronger Backs and Necks...
We conclude that the chronic administration of estrogens in men may produce an increase in serum estradiol, a decrease in free testosterone levels, and an increase in BMD (Bone Marrow Density)-both in lumbar spine and in femoral neck.
Better Bones...
CONCLUSIONS: Long-term oestrogen exposure transsexual men result in an increase in bone mineral density despite signs of feminization. This suggests that oestrogen has positive effects on bone density in males.
Less Adrenaline (more gentler)...
RESULTS: High dose sex steroid administration had marked effects on adrenal androgens levels, which decreased by 27-48% in males treated with ethinyloestradiol and increased by 23-70% in females treated with testosterone.
But Maybe More Disease prone...
These results demonstrate that the capacity to develop a TH1 phenotype of peripheral blood lymphocytes is stimulated by androgens and is slightly inhibited by estrogens.
And They Can't Be Changed by God!...
Gender identity change in a conservatively diagnosed 21-year-old transexual after faith healing was fortuitously observed, was objectively and independently measured, and is reported. This case, and other recent developments, suggests a reexamination of the possibilities of psychosocial intervention to modify atypical gender identity.
