Can I suggest you check out the site of the organisation that put forward a very reasoned argument at the recent HC case in the UK.. there is lots of well balanced information on there.. links to a variety of topics are in the menuhttps://www.transgendertrend.com/current-evidence/ …

I'm sorry but I'm familiar with the quality of evidence on this website. Its consistentlu poor quality is, in part, what led me to give up my denial and decide to transition as someone who was once quite sympathetic to so-called "gender critical" ideas.

Sure Evan, sure. Funnily enough, the evidence of TT shows the same as the Tavistock study showed once they finally released it, 5 years late. Their evidence was also deemed of high enough quality that they were accepted as an intervenor in the JR, unlike Mermaids & Stonewall.

I asked above- possibly was asking someone else- what makes you think that this means puberty blockers "cause" gender transition (in GD children only), rather than the more likely hypothesis that blockers are used rarely, in cases of children who are highly likely to be trans?

Replying to @e_urq @AbsMcFabs and
We know blockers don't cause gender transition because they don't cause it in precocious puberty. So your belief is: It's more likely that something about the blockers causes it in GD children than that the kids getting blockers are about 98% likely to be trans.

Abigail McGyn @AbsMcFabsReplying to @e_urq @Imagine123 and 2 othersNo, again, you (deliberately) misunderstand. Child has GD. Puberty 'cures' the majority of cases of GD. Blockers stop puberty, thereby preventing the one thing most likely to help. And all for, what? Better aesthetics for transwomen in adulthood?

Sorry, you're right I should have addressed this. This ignores the fact that desistence rates have been steadily decreasing as the criteria for gender dysphoria diagnoses have been refined through experiences with these patients.

Replying to @e_urq @AbsMcFabs and
The majority of cases diagnosed with modern criteria no longer desist. So, while I'm not going to accuse you of lying, you're at least using ancient data from the early 90s and acting as if that's still the case.

Looked at without the politics, gender dysphoria is an amazing success story. From the early days of psychiatry when it was assumed to be curable by talk therapy, through early experiments in transition (leasing to the knowledge that transition is a successful treatment)...

...to today when it can be successfully diagnosed at younger ages, preventing nearly all of the negative social and emotional effects, it's just a miracle of evidence based medicine advancing and helping patients.

All I want is for GD to be held to the same standards of any other medical condition, and its treatments evaluated in the same way other treatments are. I am willing to be wrong, and to change my mind, but it has to be based on evidence, not prejudice.

You'll agree with the JR judgment then, as that's exactly what they have done: held the 'treatment for it to the same standard as other medical treatment, and found it severely lacking.
