anyone have a compilation of scientific trans-debunking sources?

I've seen the Peakening threads, but I think I saw someone on this sub post a google drive link with a more comprehensive repository of various studies that disprove the validity of transgenderism. anyone have that link or was it a fever dream? lol

studies that disprove the validity of transgenderism.

Can you explain what exactly you mean by "disprove the validity of transgenderism"? Not trying to nitpick, but "transgenderism" seems like a very big category...

You mean studies that show humans can't change sex? Or work that debunks gender ideology? Studies that show most kids with childhood "gender dysphoria" grow out of it during/after puberty? Studies that suggest there's amongst teen girls in the USA and UK there's now a new phenom spread by contagion known as ROGD? Studies that show most males who trans are het men with AGP? Studies that suggest trans is an expression of, and cover, for a variety of other "co-morbid" mental health problems and personality disorders? Work that shows the conflict between "trans rights" and women's rights?

I didn't actually open the link so I'm unsure of its exact contents, from my understanding it was a general catalogue of any anti-trans literature, specifically meant as a reference base for gender critical feminists.

I'm aware of most of the topics you listed but I think it might be helpful to have a collated compilation of such sources, not just for use in debates but also to help peak others (which is what I assume the mods have in mind for the Peakening threads)

thanks for the links, they are very helpful!

i found one about suicide rates:

another criticising trans literature:

GCDebatesQT went over a bunch of neuroscience and other studies in detail. Unfortunately, nuked. I would ask there, someone might have copies.

That's a meta-review of the concept of brain-sex.

edit: Here's a neuroscience study that couldn't find any reliable difference between trans and their natal sex:

I keep a list of studies/opinions on the overlap of Cluster B PDs and TRA (minus all the great neurology debunking "gendered brains", but I think I have a link saved for that too) -- is that what you're looking for?

This is a psych paper, not hard science but I came across it today & thought you might be interested:
