They didn't really need a massive study tbh it's fairly obvious if you look at any anecdotal example of groups of 10 to 13 year olds (roughly). Real body dysmorphia and trans people DO exist now, just as they have throughout civilisation, but the massive upswing in gender identity "stuff" post-2020 was, to put it simply, a trend or fad... and as trends or fads do... it moved on.

Unfortunately, small but very loud campaigning groups (Stonewall/Mermaids being the flagship example, but there are others) that existed long before said fad managed to use the illusion of this fad to push through agenda-driven policies at company and government level in various places... and that's going to be harder to untangle.

Quite a read that article


“ Where its neighbours have grown more accepting, the South American nation has garnered a reputation for intolerance of transgenderism and LGBTQ.

In 2008, transgender woman Azul Rojas Marin was arrested, brutally raped and tortured by a trio of police officers, but her criminal complaint was ultimately closed by the authorities.”

“ Meanwhile in Argentina, three women were killed in an arson attack last week after a man lobbed a Molotov cocktail at the home of two lesbian couples in Buenos Aires.

The May 6 attack, widely seen as a hate crime, shocked many in a nation that considers itself to be a pioneer of gay rights in Latin America”

A 62-year-old man threw a Molotov cocktail into a boarding house where the lesbian couples lived, setting it ablaze, officials said. The perpetrator was arrested.

One woman died last Tuesday and another on Wednesday, both suffering from burn injuries.

'The third victim of the attack died this Sunday at 10 in the morning,' Maria Rachid of the LGBT+ Federation said this past weekend.

The fourth woman was the only one to escape with mild injuries.


But yay! Trans people are mentally ill!!

The incidents listed don't all take place there and actually I'm not entirely sure why they are relevant or bolted onto to the article. I know the DM do that as a matter of course.

Let’s not pretend to be that facetious to believe there’s been only 6 incidents. I thought you were supposed to be intelligent. Maybe actually read these buzzword articles that you think push your troll agenda.

That does not make any sense tbh. Did you really mean to use "pretend to be facetious"?

How is the labelling used in any way relevant?

I don't think people with severe eating disorders should be abused either, but that doesn't mean I'd pretend they're mentally healthy.

He is the definition of mentally ill.

Yeah that’s what I thought

Azul Rojas Marin was living as a gay man at the time of her rape at the hands of 3 officers. They must have been gay as well

Thankfully the tide is turning on this issue as medical science overtakes activists and bullying online

In addition to the Cass Review — which was published in April — a series of other
studies that were published this year call into question the efficacy of prescribing
transgender drugs for and offering transgender surgeries to children.


For example, a Mayo Clinic study from April found that puberty-blocking drugs may
cause irreversible damage to testicular cells in young boys. A study out of the
Netherlands that was published in February found that most children who have
transgender inclinations will outgrow those feelings. A third study out of Finland found
that transgender surgeries for minors do not reduce suicides in children and young
adults who struggle with their gender identity.

Medical science and research is winning this particular war

The sad thing is that dysphoria (the general symptom, which encapsulates all sorts of things not just gender) has been understood for a LONG time to be a symptom of depression. Unfortunately it now seems to have been "rebranded" as the cause of the depression rather than a symptom which - in most people - is for one likely to resolve once the root cause of the depression is resolved and also, more importantly, resolving the dysphoria does NOT resolve the root cause of depression, which is why trans people often experience a prolonged period of remission from depression/suicidal ideation after they transition, but ultimately after a few years relapse into depression. This is then misidentified as being "caused by people who don't accept trans people". It's an absolute mess of a situation.

LGBTQ people don’t kill themselves because they’re LGBTQ they kill themselves in response to bullying, discrimination, homophobia, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, violence, gender nonconformity, low self-esteem and societal and family rejection.

Study after study proves that this is not the case, suicidality increases because there's an expectation (and one that's dangerously encouraged and affirmed) that gender "correction" will alleviate feelings of depression and anxiety that are pre-existing and have nothing to do with gender whatsoever. When gender reassignment is complete and (in the vast majority of cases) only offers temporary relief from the symptoms of depression and anxiety, which then return, the individual is left with zero coping mechanism (as their previous coping mechanism was the strong belief that gender reassignment would be the answer). The suicide risk due to the feeling of hopelessness at this point is MASSIVELY increased.

These are the simple facts of the psychology behind it, they might be inconvenient when pushing a social narrative but it's just the truth. And anyone who cares about the lives of individuals should care only about the truth; not the "mission".

Not just talking about gender reaffirmation, it’s LGBTQ community in general. Just because you slap on some buzz words to push an agenda doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen

Well the study LT posted, the one to which you were replying, was about trans people in specific, not LGBT "community" in general.

It doesn't even have anything to do with LGBTQ or any other community - it's just a complete misunderstanding of depression, anxiety and suicidality. The data just doesn't support the supposition.

When I speak of "fragile thuggery" this is a perfect example. A near-hysterical
claim of emotional damage from even SEEING a book one disagrees with, in a
culture where women have *literally* been punched in the face by activists
who think this way. It has to stop being indulged.
