We have one study on one person where the authors weren't even super on board with it proving anything, only suggesting maybe it should be tested more. On the other side we have 52 studies with far more than one person saying transition has positive results

@Patty Jesus hell, do you know how medications are researched?

2019-04-23 22:35:22 UTC  

Yes

2019-04-23 22:35:32 UTC  

You think we just try once, find the magic cure, and that's that?

2019-04-23 22:35:43 UTC  

There was _nothing_ to suggest it would work

2019-04-23 22:35:52 UTC  

Could it be? Highly unlikely but possible

2019-04-23 22:35:58 UTC  

Then explain to me why the case I showed you, is the MOST RECENT one done

2019-04-23 22:36:24 UTC  

Because nobody wants to throw extremely strong actually brain damaging medications at their patients

2019-04-23 22:36:42 UTC  

When there is 0 evidence

2019-04-23 22:36:45 UTC  

for it helping

2019-04-23 22:37:02 UTC  

Oh, so instead we throw that at a surgeon and toss in some horomone pills that we have no idea how they'll effect them 10 years down the road?

2019-04-23 22:37:08 UTC  

We do!

2019-04-23 22:37:10 UTC  

It helps

2019-04-23 22:37:15 UTC  

No, it does not

2019-04-23 22:37:22 UTC  

Suicide rates are the exact same

2019-04-23 22:38:01 UTC  

And I don't consider this a treatment whatsoever

2019-04-23 22:38:06 UTC  

The opposite

2019-04-23 22:38:15 UTC  

Its disgusting

2019-04-23 22:38:37 UTC  

You don't 'help' someone by capitulating their mental delusions

2019-04-23 22:39:06 UTC  

Want me to give you some facts that meet you half way?

2019-04-23 22:39:18 UTC  

FFS (facial reconstruction surgery) does not decrease dysphoria

2019-04-23 22:39:22 UTC  

Not really. I've most likely already seen them

2019-04-23 22:39:25 UTC  

It's a known fact

2019-04-23 22:39:44 UTC  

Hormone therapy does, as does genital surgery

2019-04-23 22:39:44 UTC  

You think this is the first time I've had this discussion?

2019-04-23 22:40:00 UTC  

>reconstruction
i think you mean destruction <:pepe_sad:560202541904953365>

2019-04-23 22:40:16 UTC  

So be it, I hate the idea too, but it works

2019-04-23 22:40:29 UTC  

@Fitzydog If you aren't gonna have the discussion in good faith then don't have one. You did not discuss it with these people.

2019-04-23 22:40:38 UTC  

Thank you

2019-04-23 22:41:02 UTC  

Not trying to be a dick

2019-04-23 22:41:06 UTC  

🤷 Trannies need to be in mental hospitals, not on stage stripping

2019-04-23 22:41:18 UTC  

@Patty is there a single one of those 52 that is a controlled clinical study

2019-04-23 22:41:48 UTC  

Ill look through the 52 since i linked them

2019-04-23 22:41:58 UTC  

And if evidence comes out of the contrary, I will more than happily change my mind

2019-04-23 22:42:09 UTC  

Show me the studies where UNBIASED sociologists have followed transgenders from young adulthood to death of old age, and looked at their suicide rate, quality of life, and more.

2019-04-23 22:42:30 UTC  

The concern is largely, what happens long term?

2019-04-23 22:42:30 UTC  

(Or, just show me an unbiased sociologist)

2019-04-23 22:43:02 UTC  

also, the pimozide was not a controlled clinical study

2019-04-23 22:43:06 UTC  

just for the record
