No study shows any improvement from any of these treatments. "Life saving" just means some activists pulled a statistical signal out of some short-term, highly subjective polls of people about their own self-reported "suicidality." These studies have been debunked (for example).

Really? None?

That's a big claim.

So if I find a paper that looks at one treatment and that finds an improvement from the treatment, will you admit that you're mistaken?

These studies have been debunked (for example).

Did you mean to link to a news article? About a single paper being re-analysed? And the re-analysis is still in pre-print and hasn't been peer reviewed, or responded to yet by any later reserach?

Good luck finding any paper that proves that any of these treatments "save lives".

So if I find a paper that looks at one treatment and that finds an improvement from the treatment, will you admit that you're mistaken?

For instance the original one cited by the pre-print you link to a newspaper report about?

(Or any other treatment that is effective against any ailment that shortens lives in any way whatsoever).

Your claim was that it "saves lives". No paper proves that.

I'm not following what "it" is that you think I claim saves lives.

It is any treatment whatsoever, from the entire field of medicine?

The fact you haven't posted a single one up and are just distracting with argument says everything.

You don't actually give a shit about trans people and their medical outcomes, do you.
