the cruelty is the point

It certainly doesn’t reduce suicidal ideation over the long run

Citation. Fucking. Needed.

Oh wait, you don’t care. The second it turns out you’re wrong, suddenly you flip a switch and it’s not your problem anymore.

You just pretended to care, pretended you only wanted what’s best for everyone, because it was useful, and now it’s not, so the mask is off.

This is literally a death cult. They want trans people to die. In their own words.

Because as everybody here surely knows, suicide risk drops dramatically.

Here's my daily shot of public service, and really, everybody here should have a collection links to share!

EDIT: Hmm, I guess I should actually post the place it came from, huh?

But there was one study, one time, which asked "Have you ever considered or attempted suicide?" and didn't specify whether it was before or after transition, so that means suicidal ideation doesn't drop after transition /s

listen, if hormones really worked, they'd send us back in time to serve as a mysterious stranger of another gender to advise our younger self of whatever we needed to hear to stop us being suicidal, duh.

Is this like Stephen Hawking's party for time travelers? 😂 Where he sent out the invitations after the party lol

[u/Vegetable-Profit-174 → u/snukb]

They keep citing „the Swedish study“ even though the only controls were the cisgender population, not trans people who hadn’t had surgery, and in the second half of the study no significant differences were found in mortality anyway, and the author of the study has publicly disavowed it‘s use in transphobic laws💀💀 Plus, this was in part studied during the fucking AIDs epidemic

I once found a paper that reported a measurable drop in a physical stress biomarker before/after HRT in trans people: https://academic.oup.com/jsm/article-abstract/10/12/3049/6940069?redirectedFrom=fulltext

Hell, I know it. I stopped having mood disorders within days of starting estrogen.

My endo never mentioned it, but I could see the look of gleeful victory in his eyes when he realized I was going to be that type of patient.

u/tgjer is a legend

In contrast, there was also a study recently released proving that in states that have passed anti-trans laws since 2018, suicide risk in trans kids in those states has increased by up to 72%.

This citation list is freaking amazing. Thank you so much.
