How do you know this?

The words of saints

It seems highly faith-based

Isn't it possible that those saints could have just been lying or delusional or something?

Nope

Why not? Is it not true that all humans are fallible?

"There is a difference between treatment for an illness and completely changing your body to reject a social role" what if I'm changing my body to treat gender dysphoria @Danacrag

That is terminal gender dysphoria imo @chaizu

Eh?

Do you uh

Do you know what terminal means

I'm happy for you rejecting your social role as prescribed by god

I do. And the high suicide rate of transgenders is example for that

Pretransition transgendered people*

Pretty much all of the data shows that trans peoples lives have a strong tendency to improve following transition.

The failure to help people with proper treatment because of lies about transitioning isnt helpful anyone

What are the lies about transitioning

@Danacrag

Tbh I cant be bothered to argue about stats on this. Everyone has stats that they like. I cant really buy into studies done on some place that has an LGBT equality section. Seems like they will choose whatever studies they like. @chaizu

@actual_communist_boi ?

Are their studies to the contrary though? It's not like they cherry picked one or two studies, this was a meta-analysis of 55 studies

@Castore don't try to lie and say you haven't done it

i havent and im not lying

@LustrousMandrill did you try to do it ?

Everyone with a dick has tried it at some point

That's my position on the matter

@Danacrag why don't you bring in in the idiots you listen to on the topic in here

@Danacrag "im going to ignore this metaanalysis because my prior unfounded belief disagrees with it"

@Deleted User you groomed me. No one else did

You were literally debating if you were a trans woman or not like 8 months ago

Or if you should transition. And your conclusion was no even though you want to, because it is against catholicism

@chaizu @Deleted User it's not a meta-analsysis

@Danacrag but this is

Ok fine systemic literature review

👀

I think you forgot to post it

@Danacrag in meta-analysis, sexual reassignment surgery (SRS) improves a large number of quality of life indicators (gender dysphoria, depression, suicidal ideation, quality of life, sexual) for 4 of 5 patients, including in 15-year-long followup studies: <https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/j.1365-2265.2009.03625.x> <http://sci-hub.tw/10.1111/j.1365-2265.2009.03625.x> Pooling across studies shows that after sex reassignment, 80% of individuals with GID reported significant improvement in gender dysphoria (95% CI = 68–89%; 8 studies; I2 = 82%); 78% reported significant improvement in psychological symptoms (95% CI = 56–94%; 7 studies; I2 = 86%); 80% reported significant improvement in quality of life (95% CI = 72–88%; 16 studies; I2 = 78%); and 72% reported significant improvement in sexual function (95% CI = 60–81%; 15 studies; I2 = 78%).

@chaizu shut up whore I was busy collecting polls about impeachment, like a chad
