      OK, I'm in, let's talk about improving healthcare for all dysphoric patients.https://twitter.com/saturnalea/status/1371257514558373888 …

      Please try to understand that detrans people are trying to get better healthcare for all dysphoric patients and ignoring all of us as transphobic is not accurate. Trans and detrans concerns are very much in line, we want the next generation to have less issues w/this process

      We have a condition with one known, effective treatment. We estimate that treatment is effective, conservatively, in 97-99% of patients. The condition is also highly stigmatized, so many patients who need it don't access it or stop treatment due to stigma.

      In this situation, what would improve healthcare for these patients? A) Destigmatizing the condition and treatment so more patients who need it get it. B) Focus attention on 1-3% for whom the treatment is not effective, try to reduce the number to zero.

      It's A, guys. It's A. I know how tough it must be for detransitioners to have hope for a medical treatment and be in the number of people for whom it didn't work. But, this is very normal, in medicine. It's disappointing. It's tough. These folks deserve support, and empathy.

      However, they should not be allowed to harm patients who need this effective and highly stigmatized treatment. That's not evidence based medicine. That's transphobic stigma and moral panic.

      When the evidence changes doctors opinions will change. So will mine. If a wave of AFAB detransitioners ever finally materializes IN THE DATA, we'll listen. But there is no current support for the belief that a main issue in trans medical care is too much ineffective treatment.

          I want to end with an acknowledgment that I take a very medical approach to the issue of transition. It's a mode I'm comfortable in, and I hope I can add something to the discussion, while continuing to learn from folks who resist the over-medicalization of trans lives & bodies.

          the fact that Capsian was not able to find enough detransitioners under his original criteria that did meet Ethical approval says more than enough

          It’s not the main issue, it’s an issue and that issue literally affects every patient to be diagnosed with gender dysphoria, so stop worrying about the numbers and start being open to hearing the stories because this many is too many, and we can do more for future trans kids.

          No support for it in the data. I'll believe in it when it's more than anecdotes, and not a moment before.
