      The usual comment on this whenever someone makes this argument is they've never done a randomized controlled trial on parachuteshttps://twitter.com/ZJemptv/status/1337807163356536839 …

      Re the Tavistock study, randomized controlled trials are not the be-all-end-all of clinical studies, observational studies can provide consistent and equally valuable evidence, and the embrace of "controlled or NOTHING" is a deliberate anti-trans ploy: https://genderanalysis.net/2020/02/should-the-gold-standard-of-randomized-controlled-trials-really-be-the-standard-for-transition-treatment/ …

      That's incorrect though. They totally did that for the first few months of combat flight in WWI and for several airliners that broke up mid-flight. Outcomes are generally poorer without a parachute.

      That's not randomized or controlled, that's an observational study That's the whole point (we have plenty of observational evidence that transition saves lives too but it's not "scientific" enough)

      The point is you can't absolutely prove the parachutes saved people's lives and not some other factor unless you take a randomly chosen group of people, take them all up in the air at the same time in the same plane, and make half of them jump with a chute and half without

      There are obvious ethical and informed consent issues with doing research of this kind This is the basic problem with RCTs for any genuinely serious medical problem It's especially true for the horrific idea of a gender clinic doing an RCT on puberty blockers

          Hell, a true RCT wouldn't even tell the dysphoric kids in the control group that they were in the control group, it would give them placebos Can you imagine doing that to a kid who was becoming depressed and suicidal at the onset of puberty
