But they didn't do the study, they're just reporting on it.

Quite right. If you're a opinion polling company run by a political consultant for the republican party, you can construct a survey in a way that it looks like most people support your transphobic agenda.

"Some stud- ies reported that initial QoL improvements post gender-affirm- ing surgery were not always enduring," although that doesn't seem to impact the conclusion.

That's right. Some did. The conclusion is based on the results from all the studies.

Each of those 53 articles, only half were even considered high quality btw, would have to be examined.

Go ahead. Table 2 summaries the nature and findings of each of them.

That's because this meta-analysis did examine them all.

That's got to give more sound conclusions that your "It doesn't make any sense" reasoning. If the facts disagree with what you feel makes sense, it's not the facts that are wrong.

Yes, guns only go the one way now. There's no reason weapons we exported can't be illegally smuggled back in if there was a need.

Yes there is. No other country has such crap gun control.

I know two irl. That doesn't seem particularly uncommon.

Nevertheless not counting the group we're talking about is because they're few is not useful to the discussion: People who seek gender confirming treatment are those people that don't fit your claim "There isn't a correct or incorrect gender, you're just born to one and that's it. We don't get a say in it."

Intersex doesn't have much to do with trannies

They make up a significant amount of those people seeking gender affirming surgery. I bring them up because they demonstrate clearly that your claim "There isn't a correct or incorrect gender, you're just born to one and that's it. We don't get a say in it." is wrong.

About 1.7% of the population have some physical intersex characteristics. The vast majority of those are late onset congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Who are born with determinable genitalia, but they develop abnormally. But it's not as rare as you might think. Perhaps the people that you know haven't brought it up with you.

transphobic

Don't use slurs, that's low class.

"There isn't a correct or incorrect gender, you're just born to one and that's it. We don't get a say in it." is wrong.

Actually it's mostly correct, thanks to the evil archons who lorde over the simulation universe. Sometimes they might let you pick before birth. But even then, if they so choose they'll still find a way to make it miserable for you.

I find the existence of evil archons and existence before birth both difficult to believe.

So where do you think we came from? There's like mountains of proof for this theory because NDEs all line up to tell the exact same story. And on a few rare occasions little kids remember it without any special efforts. They also remember past lives, and their information is accurate. Even I recall a few vague flashes. Then there's the people who remember dying but then the timeline switches to a version where they narrowly escaped it, sometimes even living the moment leading up to it again. And sometimes multiple people are involved, and they also notice other subtle differences about the world afterward, together. Even weirder is when their minds fail to pause for some reason and they're able to watch the matrix flip through every possible outcome until it finds one where they survived. It's conceptually as a waterwheel with each world between its infinite number of paddles. And during that time the person can see and knows everything that's contained within this machine. It's very mechanical and it "sorts" you like a computer algorithm, which proves that's exactly what this is. Along with things like having a speed cap at the speed of light and floating point precision errors in physics. I'm not spewing bullshit, the CIA and the military actually investigate this stuff, and scientific studies have confirmed lots of cases of reincarnated children. And every single NDE goes like this: white light tunnel, meeting the deity you believe in, having a life review, being judged and told to return to earth to pay off bad karma (only leading to even more bad karma), or being convinced that earth is a good place, or being led to a false afterlife which is actually a trap leading back here. Quite a coincidence that so consistently the only difference is which god they talk to.

When a mummy vulptex and a daddy vulptex love each other very much, and they give each other a special hug, 9 months later, mummy vulptex gives birth to a new baby vulptex.

You often get a light-and-tunnel thing, but we're getting an acceptable neurological understanding of that now. But what you see at the end of the tunnel is completely culturally derived, as is how you go through it, and how you get sent back.

They also remember past lives, and their information is accurate.

I find that difficult to believe.

And sometimes multiple people are involved, and they also notice other subtle differences about the world afterward, together.

And that.

Even weirder is when their minds fail to pause for some reason and they're able to watch the matrix flip through every possible outcome until it finds one where they survived.

Right. But that was the infinity war and dr. strange. Which is fiction.

Okay. Link me to a few of these scientific studies.

And it was the wrong sex.

No, it's identical aside from which deity and afterlife you encounter, and whatever tricks they play on you. And people under regression hypnosis recall the exact same experience between lives. I actually vaguely remember something like that. My memory was jogged when I had a vision of "the stairs" while resting. It's something I've always remembered but hadn't figured out what it was until then.

Right. But that was the infinity war and dr. strange.

Nope. Here's just one of countless reports of this thing. And I bet deep down you know you've been there yourself: https://www.nderf.org/Experiences/1wilson_fde.html

There's a lot, just look them up.
