Original Note:
Hormones used in HRT are not more carcinogenic than for cis people who produce them. Breast cancer risk only increases to levels of cis women. However, cyproterone acetate, a common antiandrogen outside the US, does increase meningioma risk with long-term use. https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/causes-of-cancer/hormones-and-cancer/does-hormone-replacement-therapy-increase-cancer-risk https://transfemscience.org/articles/cpa-meningioma
