Article Abstract
Gender incongruence corresponds to the mismatch between gender identity and gender/sex assigned at birth gender/sex assigned at birth. It can be accompanied by psychological distress. In line with the literature, an increase in consultations for gender incongruence has been observed, especially among young people.

Overcoming the artificial, yet historical, distinction between "organic" and "non-organic" conditions, sexual dysfunctions classified in the "Mental and Behavioral Disorders" and "Disorders of Genitourinary System" in ICD-10 were listed in a new chapter called "Conditions Related to Sexual Health." In practice, this approach has been consistently recommended.

Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) present differently in women and men, influenced by host-microbiome interactions. The roles of sex hormones in CVD outcomes and gut microbiome in modifying these effects are poorly understood. The XCVD study examines gut microbiome mediation of sex hormone effects on CVD risk markers by observing transgender participants undergoing gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT), with findings expected to extrapolate to cisgender populations.
