This has Tony written all over it.
From August 2023:
Purpose: Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a severe form of psychopathology associated with a host of negative outcomes. Some literature suggests elevated prevalence among transgender and gender diverse (TGD) samples. Elevated BPD prevalence among TGD populations could be due to factors other than BPD-specific psychopathology. Studies of TGD samples typically omit assessment of BPD, making it difficult to understand elevated BPD diagnosis. The current study explored (1) differences in BPD diagnosis among TGD patients versus cisgender patients, (2) if differences were explained by BPD-specific pathology, and (3) if BPD diagnostic disparities existed based on assessment modality.
Methods: Data from TGD (
n=74) and cisgender heterosexual (
n=920) patients who presented for treatment at one partial hospitalization program from 2014 to 2019 were compared to investigate differences in the frequency of BPD diagnosis.
Results: A larger proportion of TGD patients were diagnosed with BPD than cisgender patients (odds ratio [OR]=4.05,
p<0.001). The disparity in diagnosis persisted even after controlling for BPD-specific personality pathology (OR=2.98,
p<0.001). BPD diagnostic disparity occurred when assessed using structured (OR=4.78,
p<0.001) and unstructured (OR=3.61,
p<0.001) interview methods. There was no disparity, however, when BPD was diagnosed using an algorithm based on BPD-specific personality pathology purported to underlie the diagnosis.
Notable that Tony's poorly reasoned autistic sperg out attempt to conflate two different separate and distinct issues. To wit, regret and detransition.
Although regret and detransition overlap in many people, they are distinct concepts and not all people who regret their transition take steps to detransition (Exposito-Campos,
2021; MacKinnon et al.,
2022b). Many surgeries are irreversible, and changing or discontinuing hormonal therapies confers new risks. Likewise, not all of those who detransition feel regret about their decision to transition (Exposito-Campos,
2021; Littman,
2021; MacKinnon et al.,
2022b; Pullen Sansfaçon et al.,
2023; Vandenbussche,
2022). External factors, such as medical complications or discrimination, may drive some peoples’ decision to detransition (Littman,
2021; MacKinnon et al.,
2022b; Turban et al.,
2021b; Vandenbussche,
2022).
More deranged Tony bullshit. An internal reddit group poll that does not even address the issue Snaggle Tooth claims it does. Moreover, dipshit thinks the 387 responses somehow "proves" his insane delusion about the number of detransitioners in the group.
Here, dipshit doesn't even link to the actual paper. Instead, he links to a troon friendly article although the article is sufficient to cast serious doubt on Snaggle Tooth's claims.
Speaking to a mere 139 people at a single clinic is not enough data to say anything meaningful about the broader troon community. Tony is such a fucking idiot!
