We've been really fortunate to have Nike reach out to us and say, we want to study transgender youth.

We've been really fortunate to have Nike reach out to us and say, we want to study transgender youth.

And what can you study?

So we very quickly put a study together looking at people who are 12 and above going through these gender clinics and then putting them through exercise testing.

We're basically doing something similar to the president's physical fitness test.

We're doing the Eurofit test, testing these people that are going through this treatment.

We are not affecting their treatment.

They were already going through these clinics anyway.

And we're going to check DEXA and labs and do these exercise outcomes to see how they compare to cis adolescents, because that is the million dollar question.

I think if we start people at a younger age with treatment, we don't know how much of an effect that's going to have on performance outcomes.

compared to when we hear things in the news about someone who transitions at the age of 35.

So stay tuned.
