I read a Dutch TG forum
www.travestie.org
today about this publication
http://www.eje-online.org/content/164/4/635.abstract
which I referred to before in this thread:

The research was pre-published a year ago in a Dutch newspaper. At that time, the first author, dr. Henk Asscheman, said he linked some of the problems post ops have to ethinylestradiol, a medication they no longer use for transition. One of the issues, a higher risk for cardiovascular disease, is a warning in the safety documentation of ethinylestradiol today.
I do know it's still in bcp. Come to think of it, I saw it on the box of my elder daughter's bcp a while ago. More research to do. She's 18, so she's supposed to decide for herself, but the more I learn, the more I feel responsible for other people's health
