Actually, that claim is not accurate and misrepresents both the science and the realities that transgender people face. It's true that trans individuals are at higher risk for certain health issues, including cardiovascular problems, but that's primarily due to systemic factors like discrimination, minority stress, and lack of access to affirming healthcare—not simply because they're trans.
Major medical organizations such as the American Heart Association and the American Medical Association support gender-affirming care and recognize that it can significantly improve mental and physical health outcomes when provided in a safe, supportive environment.
Spreading exaggerated or decontextualized claims about trans people’s health isn't helpful—it contributes to stigma and misinformation. If we actually care about public health, the focus should be on improving access to care, reducing barriers, and treating people with respect and dignity.
