However, it is worth highlighting two key concepts. First, everyone has a gender identity.

False.

health care that has been shown to decrease dramatically high rates of suicide and depression for TGD youth.

Also false. They give 2 citations for that sentence but idk how many times we need to see the actual data that indicates a net zero or worse outcome after transitioning.

Recent studies have shown that transitioning has no impact on suicidal ideation. That narrative that you must trans the kids or they'll kill themselves is a complete fabrication.

The only studies I've seen to push a "positive outcome" narrative will only look at people like 1-3 years after the transition but any longer study shows that it gets worse after the honeymoon period ends.

The only studies I've seen on "gender-affirming care", that showed consistently positive outcomes, were conducted:

  • during the COVID-19 lockdowns (when suicidal ideation was at an all-time high for everyone)

  • through social media (known to be correlated with several mental illnesses)

  • on active members of the LGBTQ+ community (a wretched hive of gaslighting and love-bombing)

  • who knew the purpose of the questions being asked (giving them an incentive to self-censor)
