Scott would be fun. It would be a good chance to see the tolerant and inclusive left show what they are made of. It wouldn’t be pretty, that’s for damn sure.

I didn’t ignore it. I stated that it would be better to treat these people prior to irreversibly changing their bodies rather than after. There’s no getting around the fact that attempted suicide rates are much higher post-surgery. From your “only 1% regret transitioning” article that you obviously did not bother to digest: The issue here is that neither of these extremes are reliable estimates of regret. The 30 percent figure obviously does not map onto regret. Many people stop using their parent or partner’s health care for reasons completely unrelated to transition regret (i.e., divorce). And the studies of surgery in the review are mostly surgeons following up with their own patients, with quite high dropout rates. It’s not surprising that only 1 percent of people report to a surgeon who did an operation that they regret it! There’s also a problem here about how we define “regret.” One of the biggest studies on transition-related regret was on the Amsterdam gender clinic, including nearly 7,000 people over 43 years. These authors defined “regret” as a patient who came back to the clinic after surgery to access hormones that would reverse their gender transition (and who had this noted in their records). By this definition, less than 1 percent of people regretted their surgery. But this is obviously not a particularly useful definition, because it will miss all of the people who regretted their procedures but went elsewhere for their follow-up care, or simply never got back to the original clinic about their regret. Perhaps the most useful way to examine regret is to look at the proportion of people who cease their transition and go back to the gender they were originally. A large national study found that 13.1 percent of transgender people participating in the U.S. Transgender Survey reported detransitioning at some point in their lives. I think that’s a fairly reasonable estimate of the rate of people experiencing somemeasure of regret around their transition experience. -

Yet teens are 12x more likely to attempt suicide after irreversibly changing their bodies. You are absolutely free to champion that. -

Perhaps pre-transition care would be more suitable. Lobotomies used to be en vogue for mental illness. Now it’s chopping off body parts. Sad. -
Maybe we will finally learn if you and billsy are correct with your beliefs the laptop was tampered with. How exciting! https://www.cbsnews.com/news/hunter-biden-laptop-data-analysis/ Data from a laptop that the lawyer for a Delaware computer repair shop owner says was left by Hunter Biden in 2019 – and which the shop owner later provided to the FBI under subpoena – shows no evidence of tampering or fabrication, according to an independent review commissioned by CBS News.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11063965/ Everyone is opposed to teen suicide. Yet you are “pro-trans” as you recently indicated. A juxtaposition for sure. -

Even LGBTQ2SIA+ people are offended by the gayness of this post.
