While it did to study the prevalence explicitly, it does show that approximately 1 in 1000 have a clinical diagnosis or "gender dysphoria" or identify as transgender. /2pic.twitter.com/PWdUTgE3MN

/3 Kaiser data confirms the switch to female presentation (see table below). Digging further into Kaiser data, the flip in ratios comes from adolescent/young adults, not little kids. Kids <9, natal boys represent 64%. Adolescents (9-17) natal boys represent 40%, natal girls 60%pic.twitter.com/mfOkXYcKO7
/4 Kaiser very alarmed by the increase in strokes in trans-identified males. Not enough data yet to see the risks in trans-identified females (medicalizing teens girls is a more recent phenomenon). Note: it takes 7 years to see the risk. Current NIH study only follows kids for 5.pic.twitter.com/4KTc7qRdpZ
/5 Kaiser is very concerned about the incredibly high prevalence of mental health illness in the adolescent cohort: Autism: 20x boys, 7x girls Bipolar: 10x boys, 8x girls Depression: 4x boys, 6x girls ADHD: 3x girls, 5x boys Anxiety: 4x both Eating dis: 3x both List goes on& on.pic.twitter.com/YyL7UlPbXQ
This data is full of key information that needs to be publicized so that general public understands just how risky these interventions are, and how vulnerably the youth population is. In 2011, WPATH strongly discouraged medicalization of youth. In 2011, they betrayed our kids. /6pic.twitter.com/XJGEYwVTyG
Correction--"In *2001* (SOC 6) WPATH strongly discouraged medicalization of youth." According to SOC 7, therapy is no longer needed, PhD level eval not needed and can be done by hormone prescribing provider, and informed consent clinics are allowed to prescribe without any eval.
What a great find! This stood out "These data indicate that a child presenting as transgender to a health care provider needs to be urgently evaluated for possible life‐threatening comorbidities." Thanks, Emma!
Ooooh. Better watch it. I got locked out for "hateful conduct" violation for merely *suggesting* similar sentiments. Facts are anathema to the perpetually woke.
