      Any argument that doesn't discuss Type I errors and Type II errors, and disclose the n and the p in the studies isn't an argument; it's just chanting tribal slogans Related: there are basically zero arguments, pro or con, out there. Two groups of monkeys chanting is exhausting.https://twitter.com/voxdotcom/status/1054412075483701248 …

      Th e vast effort one side puts into preventing any actual study of this suggests they know something.

      My hunch is that "it's complicated". Dozens, if not hundreds, of different causes each with similar appearing results: * edge-of-bellcurve weirdness * strange hormone levels in the uterine environment * strange genetic combinations that create brain A in body B * mental illness

      Yes, as with the causes of cancer. And in many cases the etiology is likely similarly unknowable. But there are discrete outcomes that can be measured - transition or not, surgery/hormones/both/neither, desistance, re-transition, mental health (the biggie).

      yep, agreed the point I'm making, tho, is that even w that, the numbers could be tricky Might find that for intervention X, 1/3 w result A, 1/3 w result B, and 1/3 w result C ... so you'd conclude X (perhaps "always transition" or "never transition" or whatever) is bad but >

      actually you've found that protocol X is GREAT for situation A, but terrible for B and C Basically, I think that no one knows anything, and maybe in 50 years we will. ...partially bc politics means that we can't honestly investigate it today.

          I think the same about homosexuality, btw. I suspect that some people are "just born that way". And I think that some are abused as children by men, and are converted. And I think that some might get brain damage as teens from diseases and wake up gay. And ...

          There has been a bit of study in long term health effects of the drugs, especially when started young, but, yes, it's discouraged and covered up. And no one simply 'changes'. It's a life long regimen.
