We don't know if there is alternative medical treatment to treating the symptoms of gender dysphoria

`Side effects such as permanently decreased motor function and brain damage are possible.`
severe and unusual side effects are endemic to antipsychotic medications btw

"However, in view of the fact that his concentration appeared impaired and his inappropriate aggressive behaviour also responded to the medication, the possibility that he was suffering from schizophrenia, which like monosymptomatic delusions is also modified by pimozide, cannot be ruled out. Moreover, a pseudotranssexual picture in schizophrenia is not uncommon."

ty

I didn't want to write everything out

My hands are cold :/

@Patty You understand what I'm saying with the small sample size though, right?

like if you want to push for it being studies further thats cool

There was only one

studied*

Yes, but it's not conclusive or even suggestive in any way it is a cure

@Patty That's not my point

but i dont think we can look at this make statements about trans people in general

We are not aware of any way to cure the root cause of true gender dysphoria other than transitional therapy

YOU are not aware you mean

Us as humans

As a race

Wrong

As a medical body

Okay but like lets look at it this way.

Then please give your supporting evidence

I've just showed you evidence that there is a possibility for medication to resolve the issue.

Why has no one even tried to investigate this since the 90s? @Patty

I just showed you it is highly suspect and the dysphoria may have been brought on by extraneous factors

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?

Yes

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

There was _nothing_ to suggest it would work

Could it be? Highly unlikely but possible

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

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

When there is 0 evidence

for it helping

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?

We do!

It helps

No, it does not

Suicide rates are the exact same

And I don't consider this a treatment whatsoever
