Then you aren’t paying attention at all. -

Waiting for you to weigh in on her hair. Is it sufficiently age appropriate for you? Seems a little long and can we be sure that’s her natural color? Anxious to hear your thoughts. -

Based on this message board (yikes) which ideological side takes the most issue with the great innovator E. Musk? -

You haven’t begun to see him unhinged. It looks like it’s coming though. -
Not very inclusive. Waiting on Frankish to describe these people as self-hating for backing Palestinians. I think that’s his measuring stick.

Redhawk is teetering a bit. Hope it’s not another meltdown in progress. He’s done quite well the last few months. -

Why do you leave out the “with low confidence” part? “Most”. Got data? -

Damn pangolins -
Scott would be fun. It would be a good chance to see the tolerant and inclusive left show what they are made of. It wouldn’t be pretty, that’s for damn sure.

I didn’t ignore it. I stated that it would be better to treat these people prior to irreversibly changing their bodies rather than after. There’s no getting around the fact that attempted suicide rates are much higher post-surgery. From your “only 1% regret transitioning” article that you obviously did not bother to digest: The issue here is that neither of these extremes are reliable estimates of regret. The 30 percent figure obviously does not map onto regret. Many people stop using their parent or partner’s health care for reasons completely unrelated to transition regret (i.e., divorce). And the studies of surgery in the review are mostly surgeons following up with their own patients, with quite high dropout rates. It’s not surprising that only 1 percent of people report to a surgeon who did an operation that they regret it! There’s also a problem here about how we define “regret.” One of the biggest studies on transition-related regret was on the Amsterdam gender clinic, including nearly 7,000 people over 43 years. These authors defined “regret” as a patient who came back to the clinic after surgery to access hormones that would reverse their gender transition (and who had this noted in their records). By this definition, less than 1 percent of people regretted their surgery. But this is obviously not a particularly useful definition, because it will miss all of the people who regretted their procedures but went elsewhere for their follow-up care, or simply never got back to the original clinic about their regret. Perhaps the most useful way to examine regret is to look at the proportion of people who cease their transition and go back to the gender they were originally. A large national study found that 13.1 percent of transgender people participating in the U.S. Transgender Survey reported detransitioning at some point in their lives. I think that’s a fairly reasonable estimate of the rate of people experiencing somemeasure of regret around their transition experience.

Yet teens are 12x more likely to attempt suicide after irreversibly changing their bodies. You are absolutely free to champion that.
