The study I showed you had a control group. You don't know what you're talking abour, sir.
False on multiple levels. It's not needless, it's not unproven, and it's not dangerous (any more than all medical interventions carry risks).
I'm gay. Please stop your silly caricatures.
Is that from the study I literally just posted for you?
Was there a statistically significant decrease in SI, or wasn't there?
How did you arrive at that conclusion? What is your formal education in these fields?
You should read through the link that I just gave you. A biostatistician directly challenged Kirsch's poor analysis.
Oh Florida. Constantly embarrassing itself in new ways. What do the other 49 Surgeon Generals say about it?
This is basic inference from experimentation. If we compare a group who got an intervention to a group who didn't, and the group who got the intervention improved, that's evidence that the intervention improved the condition. If you don't comprehend that concept, I can't help you at this point...
No, making up a threat with poorly analyzed and likely edited data that contradicts what medical professionals whose literal job it is every day to evaluate these things have to say about it is the wrong thing to do.
This is silly reasoning. No licensed medical professional is just randomly "trying something out" when they prescribe hormones or puberty blockers or recommend surgery for a trans or non-binary patient. They're using established clinical protocols that we have empirical evidence are effective...
No, it doesn't assume that. We have data demonstrating that GAC improves gender dysphoria. Thus why clinical professionals endorse and prescribe it.
You're advocating that GAC literally be banned for minors. If you're conceding that GAC is effective at least sometimes, shouldn't it be up to...
Right, so ill-gotten.
Flatly false, The NZ Ministry explicitly contradicted him. Flawed Analysis of New Zealand Data Doesn’t Show COVID-19 Vaccines Killed Millions - FactCheck.org
The information is relevant. Whether you choose to read the data is up to you.
Incorrect. The reader may...
No, I don't. because I didn't claim every therapist on Earth has that ability (but I'll bet money the average therapist knows better than you do). You, however, claimed that every minor on Earth is incapable of knowing if they are trans. Therefore, the onus here is on you.
What absolute...
The comparison group was trans people who did not receive any gender-affirming surgeries.
Between the two of us, one of us is fixated on trans issues. It ain't me.
Do you really not believe that doctors and other clinicians whose literal job it is every day to treat these patients don't...
Ie, it's no more effective than doing nothing? Surely you must know that isn't supported by the data. I just posted a link in the last post here.
Many drugs and surgeries (every single one I can think of, actually) has negative medical consequences for some number of people. So what?
And GAC...
See here for one example that you are simply incorrect about the effectiveness of GAC on reducing suicidality:

It's similar, no doubt. And in both cases, it tends to fall back on an underlying assumption that trans identity/gayness are inherently undesirable, dysfunctional, or a type of psychopathy that needs to be "cured" rather than supported.
Just once. What study demonstrates that all people under age 18 are incapable of knowing they are transgender?
Minors are given drugs and surgeries for a myriad of medical and psychiatric conditions literally every single day. No one claims it is "the best way" for every patient on Earth as...
