Re: Gender Identity Five Years After Social Transition
#3Anti-trans activists like to use an old, discredited study that found 80% of trans kids retransitioned back to their gender assigned at birth to argue that minors shouldn't be allowed to take puberty blockers or hormones, because it'll ruin their body and it's a phase they'll just grow out of and regret.
They also like to use better studies on the subject like this one, which finds that 2.5% of trans kids retransitioned, to argue that social transition is a harmful gateway into a lifelong pipeline of medicalization with puberty blockers and hormones that will ruin their body and that they'll one day regret.
I imagine it must be convenient to have an unfalsifiable belief system.

These treatments are life saving measures. You are advocating for intentionally withholding proven and extremely effective treatments for an extremely painful disorder.
> There's no good reason to give any sort of puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones to children, even if they're currently experiencing gender dysphoria.
There are endless studies showing VERY good reasons to prescribe puberty blockers to dysphoric children. They are 60% less likely to experience depression and 70% less likely to experience suicidal ideation.

Tyler Cowen said of the study, "I was surprised to see 6.5 as the average age for the transition to start." https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2022/05/th... .
I don't think 6-year-olds are capable of making informed decisions on such matters.

I'm a little bit honored that you created an account just to argue with me.
If puberty blockers weren't reversible, doctors wouldn't give them to kids who started puberty too early. Hormone Replacement Therapy isn't reversible, but neither is puberty, so it's not special in that regard.

I've seen quite a few currently-transgender people say they knew they were trans when they were five, or that they likely would have realized if the vocabulary was available to them. Perception of one's own gender seems to come pretty early.
