Ah right. Seems transition was actually the right choice for him then. For some it is. I just really don't think 'transition' should be hailed the wonder treatment, when its really not. And the suicide stats peddled relentlessly...well major studies done ionto this actually show that post-transition, the suicide rate of trans people rises to even higher than it ever was before transition :S

Definitely an area that needs to be looked into more, and different treatments considered rather than being branded 'transphobic'. I find it extremely odd how transactivists like to bury the fact that there are a lot of detransitioners, and try to block any studies into detransitioners too. when obviously, the more is understood about this illness, the better. Like all illnesses tbh.

But that could be from lack of acceptance in society? I mean, come on, lots of People snigger when they see a trans female in Asda.

Could be. But surely, before any transition the same lack of acceptance was there? So makes no sense how the suicide rate rises after transition.

But either way it is another thing that needs looked into thoroughly IMO.

We will never understand it, if all studies and such are blocked because 'transphobia'. It is not transphobic to want to understand something more, the causes, the cures, the symptoms, the lot.
