3% incidence of cardiovascular disease compared to ~1.5%. 95% increase sounds like a lot, but 3% isn't that terrible, honestly.

PotatoesFall, I assume “95% more likely” means roughly twice as likely. This headline is clearly meant to mislead uneducated readers

Interesting this transphobic-framed drivel didn't link to the article it cited.
Here's a quote from it:

Luci, 
I thought we already knew this?
Zymii, 
Yes which is why it’s so important for proper medical care of trans people to be available.
These risks are mitigatable especially with proper monitoring, but if the choice is only between DIY or nothing, then DIY is still the safest option for most even with the risks.
maporita, Agree fully with your first statement.
Do you have any links to support your second statement?
