Read Exulansic Death List. Why do you want to sterilize, mutilate & covertly gender convert @ risk youth while resigning them to lifetimes of hormone therapy side effects? People have lived as opposite sex always, only recently (like here) is it being touted by for-profit indu$try.
I am curious about a study that was referenced in a hearing for a bill that would not allow gender affirming hormones or puberty blockers for minors. It seems to indicate that gender reassignment surgery creates a bigger risk for suicide than no surgery. While this obviously deals with adults, it was part of an overall gender health scare tactic.
Examining gender-specific mental health risks after gender-affirming surgery: a national database study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine
That study has been misrepresented. The control group included both those who wanted surgery and those who did not, which is not a clinically-relevant control group.
The appropriate control group is those who desired but weren't able to access surgery. A study in JAMA Surgery that used the correct control group found that access to surgery was associated with lower odds of suicidality: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamasurgery/fullarticle/2779429
As a footnote, IIRC the authors of that misrepresented study said in their conclusion that it reveals nothing about GAS causing any increase in suicide, for just the reason you cite.
If you have to mischaracterize evidence-based medical treatment as “mutilation” to make your point, it suggests your argument cannot stand on its own.
Gender-affirming care is not cosmetic. It is life-saving for many people. Pretending otherwise does not change the reality. It only reveals your unwillingness to face it.
I could go into pages of discussion on the total illogic and unreality of the gender movement but I won’t waste my time or yours. In the end these individuals end up as failed experiments of neither sex. They know it, and the medical community knows it, but they don’t admit it and expect everyone to play along with the illusion.
Rowling stated "gender-affirming care" is doing more harm than last century's lobotomies & false recovered memory therapy combined. Puberty blockers impact bone & brain development.
What a great resource for combating the flawed studies and outright lies that are out there. My daughter and I have participated in one of the studies you cite for years. I’m glad to see there are so many more studies available to draw on.
I’m a therapist working with a 17 year old who has expressed his dire need for testosterone. His parents seem supportive in every other way of who he is- use his correct pronouns, purchase him binders. But they’re worried he’ll have regrets despite evidence that less than 1% express regret. They requested I work with him on his self confidence and maybe have another family session (the one family sesh we did have caused him great distress). I responded before we look at another approach or family session, they meet with a gender affirming provider to talk about T. I worry when I push they might consider taking him out of therapy but…I can’t do him justice otherwise.
Now that this rando has offered his bizarre take, I guess I'll disregard the advice of my kids' physicians and therapists, and professional associations of pediatricians and endocrinologists in Europe and the US.
It's never a good idea to rely on a single source, so I checked the American Psychological Association as well. Their position is pro gender-affirming care as well.
Gender affirming care saves lives!!!!

Yes it does! Thank you for sharing this!
We appreciate you! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🏴☠️💜

Thank you! So much misinformation and poor studies out there. I love your book, by the way and have used it when I testify.
Unwanted gender conversion therapy? Like Mengele?
Is this how you make your living?
Mutilation saves lives, sure😂.

Really? How are sterilizing elective mastectomies, hysterectomies & "bottom surgeries" not cosmetic and/or mutilation?
The evidence is readily available elsewhere, check the # of civil suits ongoing.

Owen, don’t waste your time these people are brainwashed.😏
Yes, and she needs vast amounts of psychotherapy to manage the defenses she's using right now.
Just because you want it to be true does not make it true. Reality disagrees with you.
Yeah, ok😂
Geneticist Baron Robert Winston states unequivocally we cannot change our sex, THAT is REALITY!
I'm not sure it makes sense to base your beliefs on the opinion of one man, no matter what the topic might be.
What a great resource for combating the flawed studies and outright lies that are out there. My daughter and I have participated in one of the studies you cite for years. I’m glad to see there are so many more studies available to draw on.
Bookmarking this and sharing it with everyone I know! Thanks! 🙏🏻

Does that 1% include those who die from sepsis or suicide post-surgery? Detransitioner interviews, Andrew Gold's Heretics YouTube.
Not engaging with transphobia.
Thank you for this. I try to keep up with the studies but having a number of them in one place makes diving in easier because more organized.
Studies mean nothing, listen to Andrew Gold detransitioner interviews on his Heretics YouTube. Heartbreaking.
"Studies mean nothing." Facts mean nothing. Research means nothing. Perfect summation of the fantasy-driven worldview of this troll.
Thank you for sharing this!
“Just show your eggs” may be the most bizarre comment I’ve read on here.

Only just came across this. I guess I better start ordering from Goop and laying my jade in nests around the house…
The majority of psychology professionals the world over disagree with you. Where did you say you got your psychology degree from ?
Please show your receipts.
Every major professional psychological association the world over agrees with this, it a known fact. You can call me up and ask them (Dr. Martinez)
This is going a little bit outside the brief, but the Canadian Pediatric Association is another gender-affirming care supporter. https://cps.ca/en/documents/position/an-affirming-approach-to-caring-for-transgender-and-gender-diverse-youth
It's never a good idea to rely on a single source, so I checked the American Psychological Association as well. Their position is pro gender-affirming care as well.

I like to check my understanding of things every so often, so I thought I'd look at the American psychiatric association's website. The guidance there supports gender affirming care. Please don't take my word for it. You can read for yourself at https://www.psychiatry.org/psychiatrists/diversity/education/transgender-and-gender-nonconforming-patients/gender-affirming-therapy
"Having eggs = woman" is as simple-minded and arbitrary a definition as "cooked egg = omelet". Dogs, flies, snakes, etc. all have eggs.
