      I don't think eating disorder sufferers should be drawn into discussions of trans issues. The sad truth is that treatments for anorexia are a lot less effective than treatments for GD. https://twitter.com/bambii_booo/status/1347802471998095360 …

      I've been in multiple treatment centers for AN They're full of women who've been in before and will be in again. There aren't really effective treatments for anorexia. They re-feed you, give you therapy bc they don't know what else to do, and hope eventually you stop relapsing.

      Contrast that with treatment for gender dysphoria: Trans ppl post-treatment live healthy lives and do great things! It sickens me that anorexia keeps being brought into conversations about GD, when anorexics desperately need a treatment that works as well as transition does.

      Inpatient treatment for anorexia and bulimia is similar to drug addiction treatment- facilities don't share any sort of numbers as to their relapse vs success rate and are not really evidence based. They prey on patients and families, desperate for some kind of hope.

      It's the exact opposite of transition related medical treatments, which are constantly under attack, forcing providers to provide more and more evidence that it works. Of course, this evidence is always ignored.

      You're still thinking moralistically. These aren't people doing something bad for validation, these are patients who don't have effective treatments.

          You're using moralistic language- and turning it against me in personal attacks. From a medical standpoint, I'm now healed. But from your moralistic viewpoint I'm still bad so I can't possibly be healthy.

          This is at the root of the misunderstanding of GD and AN. People think the purpose of AN treatment is to make bad people behave. But the purpose of treatment is to make sick people well. Medicine doesn't care if you have delusions, it cares that they interfere with your life.
