Yeah, such a terrible thing to want to help someone love and accept who they are. Awful, right? You can keep on with disfigurement and hormones. It's working great, as evidenced by the suicide rates
Hey, bro! Are you a statistician!?!!
See, you now have to be an expert in a field to be able to speak on a subject. Well, not only be an expert, but also have the correct opinion and outlook. Clown world…
If you want to disagree with the prevailing point of view of the experts in that field, yes.
What are the prevailing statistics on suicides in this group after transition
What study are you and a few others here cherry picking on this subject? There's plenty of studies that demonstrate gender affirming treatment reduces risk of suicide. Also, I notice whenever this comes up you all jump even further to the "it's mental illness and should be discouraged" which there are also studies indicating that increases suicide risk.
I'm guessing this one made the rounds on social conservative Twitter as some sort of justification so I'm curious.
You know, there's lies, damn lies, and statistics. If all you look at is suicide rate amongst treatment groups, you'll see a SLIGHT decrease in suicide rate. However, the treated group still has a suicide rate multiple times higher than the general population (because physical surgeries don't solve mental illness).
Now, consider the historical rate of desistance, the proliferating phenomenon of groups becoming "trans" (primarily teen girls), and the fact that affirmation effectively eliminated any possibility of dysphoria resolution. Not to mention the fact that the "experts" that you like to cite are on record suppressing contrary research (see Brown study).
On top of this, consider the fact that this treatment is morally insane and born out of the perverted work of John Money. No rational human being can come to the conclusion that affirmation of mental disease is an acceptable course of treatment. The junk you shill for because of your political ambitions is evil and disgusting, and you try to back it up with cherry picked statistics and political entities.
