@datadriven_tdoc Dude blocked me for explaining that his favorite desistance study is severely flawed and counts a lot of kids who were never trans LOL.
@SureMeanAnagram@datadriven_tdoc This is a terrible source for accurately evaluating the course of gender dysphoria and/or transgender identity in childhood.
@SureMeanAnagram@datadriven_tdoc What am I supposed to make of that? They literally just say it's unclear because some kids were supported, some were forced to repress and some simply had their identity ignored. It makes no specific claim regarding cause and effect. You really need to get a new study to lean on.
@SureMeanAnagram@datadriven_tdoc No, that only says that most desisters are gay, not that most trans people will end up desisting and actually being gay. Also desistance just means they stopped transitioning, many still don't regret it and feel neutral or positive about their past transition.
@GAMER01877957@DenizGS1985@sunseteverlyy You're way behind the rest of humanity, thinking there's anything immoral about going to the doctor..... This is why the developed world makes fun of turks.
@SureMeanAnagram@datadriven_tdoc I think you have a specific image of gay kids getting transed and its not realistic. Your desistance study doesn't support your claim, so why do you think trans kids are likely to end up gay? Transition helps the vast majority of ppl who seek it.
@SureMeanAnagram@datadriven_tdoc Do you think it's accurate to say that every gender nonconforming child is gender dysphoric? Because that's what this definition claims. The dsm is not a flawless source and their childhood dysphoria criteria has been criticized by transgender advocates and critics alike.
@chesburgr_ This is also a super unrealistic standard to hold yourself to, almost no cis woman looks like this so don't expect yourself to. It gets easier with time, try not to be so hard on yourself.
@Naeluckmate@FuzzInvasion@ChrisSosa The nonresponse rate of this new study is comparable to rates seen in most medical survey studies. Nor is there a specific nonresponse rate that would make all data obtained unscientific. I really don't think you understand data analysis that well
@chester_fence@mboorstein "if you transition as a minor, you don't go through puberty"?? 16 and 17 year olds are well into the tail end of puberty dude what are you even saying
@villainsenjoyer I hate this misogynistic idea of an idealized "afab childhood" that's somehow an easy mode compared to an amab childhood. Just completely generalizes the experience of boys and girls into inherently different categories and ignores how different individuals experiences are.
