For the first time, a randomized controlled trial has been published regarding gender affirming care.

The treatment group receiving care saw a 55% reduction in suicidality, compared to 5% of control.

I detail the results in my latest article.

The debate over gender-affirming care is whether it should be subject to made-up, constanly shifting standards different from those in other areas of medicine, or whether the normal rules, which unambiguously support transition as well-established and medically necessary, apply.

Ghorayshi's behavior, as described by my sources, was truly shocking. At one point my source describes her standing in the way of a car door, attempting to prevent a distraught family of a trans youth from ending the conversation and driving away.

BREAKING: The Texas Supreme Court decided to allow #SB14 to take effect Sept. 1 — banning evidence-based medical care for trans youth.

Let’s be clear: Trans youth are loved and belong in Texas.

We won’t stop until this cruel ban is struck down.

The anti-trans folks are realizing that they are losing on whether or not transition helps reduce suicide (and thus saves lives).

Transition has saved countless trans lives. The data says it but even more than that, the trans people themselves say it.

@DanishScience @Nicoletta0602 @BillboardChris Let trans kids live & Check your sources for credibility.

[jiminy crissum @Bex_the_mighty]

@DanishScience @Nicoletta0602 @BillboardChris This is false. No one is being targeted (except those being forced to medically detransition by barbaric bans) being trans isn’t easy, you only go through it if you need it

puberty blockers are just a reversible pause button, so kids have more time to make an informed choice

In particular, the judge looked at three points:
1) Is care beneficial or "too risky"
2) Is care "experimental" and is the evidence strong enough for care?
3) Is care being "pushed" on undesiring patients?

- SWEDEN
- 80/90/99/10000%(!?!!) desistance rate
- Tavistock!
- This doctor (dentist) reviewed the evidence!
- You’ll regret it in 10/30/100 years
- High quality evidence (unless it’s for risk, or ROGD, or AGP, or any other bunk theory)
- Pronouns in bio

@Michelle789075 @BillboardChris Yeah I think he’s got very clever manipulation tactics to spew a bunch of hateful misinformation at once so it’s nearly impossible to respond to. It’s a good strategy to make the person he’s “debating” seem unstable/confused/stupid/etc

@BillboardChris Other forms of GAC services ranges from affirmative counselling to hormones for youths, while surgeries is limited to adults. 3/

@BillboardChris including its timeline, risks and benefits, what is currently known and not known about the impact of treatment on other bodily/physiological functioning, as well as how such treatment may or may not fit their health needs and gender goals later in life. 2/

[jiminy crissum @Bex_the_mighty]

@BillboardChris For trans youth, GAC is an unimpulsive and well-informed decision between themselves, their parents, and providers—one that prioritizes parental consent and youth’s assent to fully understand the scope of the treatment, 1/

[jiminy crissum @Bex_the_mighty]

@nwoupdate @logosaetos @BillboardChris That’s the thing though right? All this focus and fear of “cutting off kids genitals” is framed around gender affirming care when that doesn’t really happen to minor. GAC for minors is I think around 95% not surgery
