There is an overwhelming avalanche of evidence that transition provides positive mental health changes and dysphoria is unelected by anything else. It’s necessary care.

As long as we can’t hide we are targets for discrimination which we have no legal protection from.

Actually there isn't. The APA recently refuted the one study that said there was. Their statement said that transition did NOT improve mental health outcomes.

You are incorrect.

I'm not.

You absolutely are.

Nope.

Literally all credible studies done show increased mental health outcomes. One done recently shows affirming a child’s gender leads to increased mental health. Hormones have a north of 95 percent satisfaction rate. Even bottom surgery has over 90.

Only wild conspiracy theories would even assert that it doesn’t lead to improved mental health.

You can challenge whether it’s appropriate or right on whatever made up moral ground you want but you cannot credibly assert transition doesn’t improve mental health for trans people.

You clearly didn't read the study.

You clearly don’t pay attention to the scientific consensus.

I do.

You are blind to the market forces pushing the transition narrative. This is coming to a head. Medical professionals are starting to back out and whistle blowers are coming forward. The lawsuits have already begun in the UK. The US is next. Funny how most of your allies have no problem seeing it when it comes to other issues.
