Off-Topic "Scientific" Studies regarding Transpeople

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
I have a question for you all: Just how reliable are studies, even the peer-reviewed ones? Is it a common belief here that most of the peer-reviewed studies that reinforce pooners/troons beliefs are fake and have fabricated results?
To answer this, you need to consider what a “study”, “paper”, “scholarly article”, etc. is. It’s a piece of writing about some form of research that was undertaken. That’s it. That research can be anything from:
  • Reading other people’s research (review articles);
  • Compiling massive amounts of data on several studies simultaneously (meta-analyses);
  • Translating something;
  • A mathematical proof;
  • A description of an experiment (primary source, experimental data);
  • Surveys of a certain group of people;
  • Describing a weird frog or whatever the fuck you found in insane detail (and I mean “measuring a spider’s epigyne because sexual compatibility is one of the ways that you define a species” levels of autism);
  • Describing some dead body you found in a bog;
  • Talking about visiting a gay fisting bar in San Francisco;
And more! How useful are these pieces of information? Well, that’s for you to decide within the context of the conversation. If someone says to you, “I know such and such a thing is true about men because [links study that focuses on 1,000 guys in Bei Jing]”, ask yourself… how relevant is that? Sure, n = 1,000 sounds scary, but then you remember that this study isn’t representative of dudes in China, so why would it be true of men as a whole?

This doesn’t mean that this study is bullshit - there may be some interesting insights into male behaviour demonstrated in it. That research can be correlated, compared, and contrasted with research done in other times and places. What it does mean is that someone extrapolating that data and making claims about all human men throughout time and space is either a liar or a retard.

There’s a good example of this in The Silence of the Lambs:
Clarice said:
Quid pro quo, Doctor.
Dr. Lecter said:
The significance of the moth is change. Caterpillar into cocoon into beauty... Billy wants to change, too, Clarice. But there's the problem of his size, you see. Even if he were a woman, he'd have to be a big one...
:story:
Clarice said:
Dr. Lecter said:
Clever girl. You're so close to the way you're going to catch him - do you realize that?
Dr. Lecter implies that Buffalo Bill, still yet to be identified as Jame Gumb, is motivated by the desire to be a woman. Clarice is confused because “the literature” (the “studies”) say that “transsexuals are passive”. What’s going on?

Well, remember that this is during the 1990s. During this time period, the only people who were getting past the “medical gatekeeping” (as trannies call it) were HSTS-types. That is, gay men who were so gay that they believed it would be easier for them to function in society as a facsimile of a “straight woman”. That’s how it is today in Iran, a country that is one of the best in the world for “sex changes”: They get lots of practice because the state gives homosexuals the option of the the roof or the surgeon’s knife. It’s why Jammi Dodger’s Muslim in-laws got her sent there for her FGM metoidioplasty before she gay-married their daughter.

Is Buffalo Bill an incredibly gay man? No. He’s a degenerate sex freak bisexual. He’s a textbook AGP based on actual AGPs like Ed Gein, Jerry Brudos, and Richard Speck. That’s why modern day AGP trannies write essays and make videos defending “her” actions. You know, before they get arrested for sexual assault a week after posting it. These trannies identify with Buffalo Bill because they’re like him. Bill was not the kind of person the medical establishment was interested in humouring and castrating. That’s Lecter’s point.

Clarice says, effectively, that Buffalo Bill’s profile (being violent) doesn’t conform to the profile of gay men (“transsexuals”), and she sees this as a contradiction because she’s confusing what Lecter is saying with how the medical establishment defines the word. Lecter says she’s close because she needs to look for men who were denied the sex change, not men who were permitted to get it done, which is what Clarice thinks he’s saying. And that is, in the end, how she does it. Gumb was rejected multiple times from gender clinics for being an obvious lunatic.

This wouldn’t work nowadays because trannies can do whatever they want. However, the point is that Clarice is getting confused because she doesn’t know to which cohort Dr. Lecter is referring. She is applying data on gay Thai ladyboys to Douglas Perry. Of course it’s not applicable.

I made a joke about this, once. I said that it was insane that even Canadians didn’t want to fuck trannies, because Canada is a country beholden to troonery. So when even Canadians reject troons, we can conclude that most public support for trannies is two-faced. In the same post, I discussed a paper called Hsu et al. and mentioned how they inaccurately described their own data in their paper.

That’s why looking into these things and reading the papers is so rewarding. You cut through all the bullshit and you realize how right you were about these lunatics. So whenever someone cites a “study”, ask them… what was the experiment? The survey? The conclusion? Most papers are free online - and if they’re not, you can be sure the other person is lying about reading it. If you want to really school them, find the paper on Sci-Hub and you’ll usually see how they lied about it by the time you’re done the abstract.
(And if you’re confused, just post it here. Here are two other relevant posts discussing these sorts of ideas.)

Anyway, Silence of the Lambs was a prophetic masterpiece. I’m not the first or most able to demonstrate this. They’re all real fucking creepy.

This study has been discussed elsewhere on this board before, and it's almost 5 years old now. I really wonder what happened to this kid. Obviously given the anonymity no one can follow up independently but you would think if it was a resounding success the researchers would publish a brag eventually.
This is the first time I'm seeing this degen terminology but it seems that it isn't that new
MSM goes all the way back to the early days of AIDS as they found that "down low" men would not get help or tests if they had to use any words in the general vicinity of "gay" or "bi."
 
I'm crossposting my original post from the SRS Surgery thread.

Warning. Attachment is NSFW.


I've been hanging onto this for ages, because I wanted to make a proper post about it. But I figured I'd just upload it and let you disseminate for yourselves.

It's probably not all that horrifying for seasoned viewers of this thread, but it is an interesting peek behind the curtain.

It's an internal presentation (so, not for patients), which gives an overview of the phalloplasty procedure, including complications.

I found the blasé tone pretty distasteful initially, and whilst it still irks me somewhat, it's probably to be expected for an internal document. All doctors tend to have a very grim sense of humour as a means of coping, and surgeons do tend to be lacking in empathy, so it's not really unexpected. And it's probably pretty autistic/dumb to sperg out about "waahhh hurtful words" given the horrors these surgeons inflict.

ESPECIALLY WHEN, PER THIS DOCUMENT, THE DOCUMENT PHALLOPLASTY CARRIES A 100% COMPLICATION RATE.
I wonder if they tell patients this?


Ive copied some highlights lowlights from the complications section of the document to give you a feel for what to expect.

Especially this little nugget (sorry for all caps, it's copied directly from the document)
URETHROPLASTY CAN BE TECHNICALLY CHALLENGING AND FAILS IN UP TO 50% OF CASES. (OUR RATE 80% (?) SUCCESS)
REPEATED SURGERY CAN BE REQUIRED.
10% CHANCE OF A “NOTABLE”
COMPLICATION WHILE IN HOSPITAL

These tend to be unexpected and a sometimes a bit random.
Like….
1. Hematoma near vessels, that requires surgical evacuation
2. Pneumonia (bed rest, narcotics, sedatives, big surgery)
3. Problems with the hand blood supply requiring acute
reexploration and vessel grafting
4. New carpel tunnel syndrome requiring immediate carpel tunnel
surgery (more than once)
5. And more….
Click to expand...
40% URINARY COMPLICATION RATE….
ABOUT 20% FISTULA AND ABOUT 20%
STRICTURE
Historically had a 50% (!) rate, fell over time to 23-35% in contemporarys eries.
However the literature is “silo-ed”, single center, “smallish” numbers
Click to expand...

100% MINOR COMPLICATION RATE
• Small dehiscences
• Necrosis of the flap edges of the flap: the areas with the worst blood
supply
• “the Edge Problem”
• Small abscesses
• (late) Asymmetric healing, significant scarring
• And more

There are some extremely NSFW images in the document.

Anybody have any studies showing evidence of trans-identified people benefitting from speech therapy? There are multiple posts for this type of job throughout the country at different gender services. This one is from Tavistock and Portman:

Job summary​


This advanced specialist speech and language therapist (SLT) will have considerable experience in clinical voice disorders and counselling skills/psychological approaches, as well as established competencies and experience in delivering trans and gender diverse voice and communication therapy (vis a vis the Competency Framework RCSLT, 2018). They will work as a gender specialist SLT and independently manage a caseload of trans and gender diverse service users in the delivery of high-quality voice exploration and modification therapy.

About us​

THE GIC SPEECH AND LANGAUGE THERAPY (SLT) SERVICE:

The Gender Identity Clinic (GIC), historically known as the 'Charing Cross GIC', is the oldest and largest gender specialist centre in the UK. The GIC diagnoses and treats adults with gender dysphoria in a biopsychosocial care pathway involving psychiatrists, psychologists, endocrinologists, specialist nurses, specialist medical practitioners, specialist speech and language therapists.
Within this multidisciplinary team, the SLT service aims to support service users to find and sustain their authentic voice which fits with their sense of self. This is delivered through introductory workshops, initial assessment appointments, individual and group therapy programmes, and specific workshops (e.g. the singing voice). The service leads on protocol development, cutting edge research and training of established and developing specialists' speech and language therapists in the field.

I guess a cure for AGP could be a heavy period simulator of sorts, just one really bad nauseating week of stomach cramps and headaches. See if he still wants to be a girl after that.
Why don't we call anorexics "Trans Obese" and regular fat people "Cis Obese"?
Don't give them ideas, there's already "healthy at any size" for deathfats.
This Gender bullshit is the only case of a delusion that Leftists say is sacred, and everyone who isn't delusional has to deny reality and play along with the delusion to not upset the deluded.
If only, gender ideology is just the latest manifestation of other leftist dogmatic nonsense like tabula rasa (when there are plenty of studies on genetics disproving that theory), that criminality is down to socioeconomic factors alone when even communist countries had to deal with violent criminals, psychos and serial killers, keynesian economics, etc...

When you think about it current gender politics its just 3rd wave feminism, same tactics, same mentality, same rhetoric.
Thankfully people are waking up to the reality of the situation
Yeah no, the only normies I see who are talking against gender ideology are the ones who never agreed with it and finally have the balls to speak up. If you go into any center-left/liberal space they completely support this shit. There's even more opposition on the far-left but its all hardcore commies who believe its a bourgeois conspiracy to keep the workers down.
This is why they don't want transrace
Its because the race grifters don't want to lose the race card, its bad enough when some white guy manages to convince others of his minority status and gets gibs. Imagine if anyone could be trans-black tomorrow, what that would create.

For starters, the price of N-word passes would plummet.
trans species
What are furries.
That’s how it is today in Iran, a country that is one of the best in the world for “sex changes”
I seen iranian trannies and they don't pass in a million years, most still have their beards. I don't want to imagine what their neovags look like...

The late Daniel Dennett once put the question on social media: "Why transgender but not transrace?". The reply that seemed to satisfy Dennett was this: "We need accurate documentation of race in order to track who should receive reparations".

Speech, OT, PT- all of these things have legitimate uses and can help people who are truly impaired. But they are also extremely prone to mission creep and "hey, it's a low tech, noninvasive intervention, why not throw it at [problem] and bill for it?" They are also commonly employed by primary care providers trying to keep the bill to insurance low- hey, I got him to do six months of PT, maybe he will go away and stop asking for surgery on his ankle. Same idea- I got him to do 6 months of speech therapy, maybe now he won't be asking for vocal cord surgery and needing a 2 week psych admit when you say no.
 
I liked the shade from this line.

The conclusion in the Tordoff et al. study was particularly notable for claiming quantitative evidence of improvement even though study results showed no significant change in depression or suicidality outcomes over time.
Did you see one of the authors of this bullshit study did an AMA with it in /r/medical or something with doctors. The co-author or researcher or whatever, a troon himself, wound up dipping out and locking their personal sub and deleting their /r/science thread after. Found the threads: here and here. Damn, a mod has since nuked tons of top-level comments, obviously. I am pretty sure I archived these way back, though.

Edit: I knew I archived them.

Sidenote: should one of the authors being a troon get listed conflict of interest? It seems he'd be more likely to assume the conclusion is true already. Plus, he needs the results to be true. I think one of the peer reviewer comments pointed out that Tordoff included something about how a certain procedure is already known to help with xyz, but that was part of what was being studied, too. Edit: I think it actually might've been Jesse "The Chaser" Singal

They're already willing to have their genitals sliced and grated and then endure daily, painful violation of whatever is left. Enduring self-inflicted pain to become "whole" and "purified" is an ancient human behaviour. So no, I don't think it will convince them otherwise.

There are only two options, really.

Either breaking their addiction to looking at porn or entertaining degenerate fantasies, or death.
 
"We need accurate documentation of race in order to track who should receive reparations".
The irony is that when the time comes to dish it out the guy who's the descendant of generations of black slave women raped by their owners will get less money because he's a light-skinned "practically white" guy while the vantablack bantu immigrant fresh off the boat gets the full amount because he's darker than a novelization of Frozen by Cormac McCarty.

Most trannies (and pooners) don't get bottom surgery.
 
Sidenote: should one of the authors being a troon get listed conflict of interest?
This is going to be controversial, as we don't demand, say, a researcher who herself suffers from multiple sclerosis declare "conflict of interest" when she cowrites an MS paper. This said, I think it is good policy that, if the editor knows an author is a troon (or if such a fact is easily found), the editor should state it clearly in an Editor's Note at the end of the abstract. Not necessarily out of conflict of interest, but for warning the readers that the article might have been accepted under duress or for DEI reasons.

True. This is because all academic papers, whether they are science or humanities, are supposed to stand and fall on their own objective merits, or, in other words, whether their evidence sustains their conclusions. Thus, hypothetically, it should be irrelevant whether the researcher him or herself has a personal interest or stake in the topic because the reader can assess the quality of the argument and detect any problems, regardless of why that problem arose (the exception to this rule is fringe and airy-fairy fields like certain branches of philosophy, gender studies, queer studies, 'fat studies' and other bullshit where everyone seems to have collectively agreed that you can write whatever shit you like as long as it promotes the currently fashionable narrative. As demonstrated by the Grievance Studies Affair, these fields publish any old rubbish as long as it's of a certain ideological bent. Most other fields do not.)

Thus this thread has on-and-off discussed the quality of troon studies in general:

How useful are these pieces of information? Well, that’s for you to decide within the context of the conversation.

I have a question for you all: Just how reliable are studies, even the peer-reviewed ones? Is it a common belief here that most of the peer-reviewed studies that reinforce pooners/troons beliefs are fake and have fabricated results?

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned that the Britbongs basically answered this question in the Cass Review. The answer is, unsurprisingly, that the vast majority of scientific papers in this area are bullshit. They had a University of York team go through and assess the academic evidence for trooning kids and grade it according to quality. This one is for studies making clinical recommendations:

Screenshot 2025-01-29 112520.png

They also brought up a number of reasons why a study could be of low quality (these are some, there are more):

Screenshot 2025-01-29 112242.pngScreenshot 2025-01-29 112153.png

Things like the 'attrition' rate are important when talking about troons as this is where a lot of misinformation comes from that is thrown about on social media. So, for example, the 'regret rate' of 1% for troon surgeries comes from a study with a super high attrition rate (because no-one who regrets their surgery is still in contact with the surgeons and their hospitals where the studies largely came from, as they have long since run away from the person who butchered them).

The study isn't WRONG, per se, apart from possibly in any over-enthusiastic conclusions the researchers might draw. It's not using fabricated evidence or out-and-out deception. It just says what it says, which is precisely "the few people we could find to ask, who remained contactable by the office that butchered their genitals and bothered to write back, said they loved it." Does this evidence sustain the conclusion that no-one regrets their gender surgery? Of course not. Is the paper worth anything? Not really. It tells you next to nothing about the regret rate save that the evidence for it is extraordinarily weak.

Here's the basic lowdown. Of 28,000 so-called papers on the topic, only about 300 of them actually said anything meaningful that was also sustained by the evidence contained within the paper.

Screenshot 2025-01-29 113703.png

So to answer @MeatSuki 's question from last year: the studies are reliable, in the sense that the information in them isn't made up. It's just that 99% of the time the information is worthless, the 'evidence' isn't really evidence, and any conclusions are vastly over-stated.

I dug around the sites and found an interesting link of about the relations of kids transitioning and social media.
Just an interesing snippet here too

Parents identified the sources they thought were most influential for their child becoming gender dysphoric. The most frequently answered influences were: YouTube transition videos (63.6%); Tumblr (61.7%); a group of friends they know in person (44.5%); a community/group of people that they met online (42.9%); a person they know in-person (not online) 41.7%.​

Thoughtful response by @Levank regarding the study
Feel ill reading that, I've heard parts of it verbatim. This entire study should be required reading for parents of kids in these situations. None of these statistics surprise me at all:
  • Additionally, per parent report, almost half of the AYAs withdrew from family, 28.5% refused to speak to a parent, and 6.8% tried to run away.
    • 84.2% of the parent respondents were reasonably sure or positive that their child had misrepresented or omitted parts of their history.
  • The declines were substantial as 43.3% of these AYAs had been identified as academically gifted students...before they began to fail their classes, drop out of high school or college, and became unable to hold a job.
    • (they damn kids in so many ways. Ever notice the 'lol queers are so bad at math/science!!' or the fucking constant illiteracy/dumbass/himbo jokes? It's almost like unchecked depression/mental health is horrible for the brain...)
  • 71.6% reported that the clinician did not explore issues of mental health, previous trauma, or any alternative causes of gender dysphoria before proceeding and 70.0% report that the clinician did not request any medical records before proceeding.
    • 23.8% of the parents who knew the content of their child’s visit reported that the child was offered prescriptions for puberty blockers and/or cross-sex hormones at the first visit. (:_(
    • (seen this with adults, but usually it was at least a few visits for actual children...)
  • Although small numbers of AYAs had improvement in mental well-being (12.6%), parent-child relationship (7.4%), grades/academic performance (6.4%), and had broadened their interests and hobbies (5.1%); the most common outcomes were worsened mental well-being (47.2%); worsened parent child relationship (57.3%); unchanged or mixed grades/academic performance (59.1%); and a narrowed range of interests and hobbies (58.1%).
    • (Definitely seems like it's worth it to transition children! Who wouldn't with odds like those? /sneed)

Microflora of the penile skin-lined neovagina of transsexual women

The microflora of the penile skin-lined neovagina in male-to-female transsexuals is a recently created microbial niche which thus far has been characterized only to a very limited extent. Yet the knowledge of this microflora can be considered as essential to the follow-up of transsexual women...
 

Our study is the first to describe the microflora of the penile skin-lined neovagina of transsexual women. It reveals a mixed microflora of aerobe and anaerobe species usually found either on the skin, in the intestinal microflora or in a BV microflora

So it has the bacteria normally found on skin, in the butt, or in an vagina infested by the bacteria normally found on the skin or in the butt.

It's almost like it s an unnatural skin fold.

Call to action: If anyone here comes across any studies that have been posted in other threads, it would be great if you could crosspost them here.

Similarly, if you're about to post a study in one of the other threads, please consider posting it here first, and then crosspost as necessary.

I think that this thread could use a little bit of invigorating. Lost count the amount of times I've read a post from someone referencing a study they've seen posted in a random thread, but being unable to find it (which leads to misinformation if you're not careful - memory is a fickle thing).

Edit. Hopefully I'm not backseat moderating here.
 
If this was posted, you can give me a nice big fat L - we're talking about obesity rates among pooners. Now, it's well known testosterone use among them increases sexual libido, and we know from anecdotal evidences, such as Reddit confessions and whatnot, that they have drastic changes in appetites. How bad is the obesity rate, you ask? Around 39% before GHT, 42% after - putting them at the same rate as the average US population. One such case study can be found here.

In the United States, an estimated 0.6% of the adult population, or 1.4 million adults, identify as transgender [2]. No guidelines exist regarding nutrition assessment for transgender or gender non-conforming patients [3]. Transgender patients may opt to medically transition using hormone therapy and/or gender-affirming surgeries; these interventions may have a direct impact on nutrition related parameters such as weight status, body composition, lipid levels, blood pressure, and blood glucose levels [4,5,6,7]. A review of studies specific to transgender men identified that testosterone therapy resulted in body mass index (BMI) increases up to 11.5%, decreases in HDL-cholesterol and increases in LDL-cholesterol, and increases in hemoglobin and hematocrit [6].

The transgender population is also at an elevated risk for eating disorders. Among college students, transgender participants were four times as likely to self-report an eating disorder and over twice as likely to report compensatory behaviors such as use of diet pills, vomiting, or laxatives compared to cisgender heterosexual women [8]. Among a sample of Canadian youth and young adults, nearly half of transgender youth and more than a third of transgender young adults engaged in binge eating, fasting, pills, laxatives, or vomiting [9].

Ultimately, nutrition therapy may play an important role in mitigating the known effects of hormone therapy and promoting the overall health of transgender and gender non-conforming populations. Given the lack of nutrition recommendations for the transgender population, nutrition assessment of both clinical and psychosocial considerations is the first step towards forming a framework of gender-affirming care across the Nutrition Care Process.

Another study from 2021 goes more in depth:
The effects of GAHT on body weight have primarily been studied in populations in several Western European countries including Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Spain. These studies have generally reported body weight and/or body mass index (BMI) at baseline and at one follow-up period varying from 3 to 24 months. The largest study to date (n = 430) was conducted by the European Network for the Investigation of Gender Incongruence (ENIGI) in Belgium and the Netherlands. This study reported that body mass index (BMI) slightly increased in both trans men and trans women over 1 year and did not vary by routes of hormone administration [6]. Out of the 7 studies in trans men that report pre and post-GAHT body weights, there is a consistent increase in mean body weight of 0.9–3.5 kg over 6, 12, or 24 months [7–13]. Out of the 4 studies in trans women that report pre- and post-body GAHT weights, the European studies found an increase in mean body weight of 1.3–3.9 kg over 12 or 24 months, whereas a small US study [n = 16] found no change over 6 months [7–9, 13].
Trans men are the binge eaters; transwomen, if they are not black, tend to be the opposite: they are the purge eaters.

76% of them are between the ages of 17-29, and they are considered obese. That's a very drastic and depressing stat.
Mean body mass index and body weight readings at the various follow-up visits are listed in Tables 3 and 4. The percentages of patients with normal weight, underweight, overweight, obesity, and severe obesity are also shown in Tables 3 and 4. Figure 1 shows the percentage change in body weight compared with baseline and mean body mass index over time. For transfeminine patients, the mean body weight, percent change in body weight, and BMI were stable for the first 21 months on GAHT. Beyond 22 months, statistically significant weight gain of 2.0–4.9 kg was seen in transfeminine patients between the ages of 17and 29 years but not in those ≥30 years old. The mean BMI and obesity rates were higher in the Latina group as compared with the other two groups. For transmasculine patients, within 2–4 months of starting testosterone, the mean body weight increased by 3–4% with a mean weight gain of 2.4 kg. The prevalence of obesity increased from 39 to 44%. The mean body weight and BMI were then relatively stable and increased again after 34 months of testosterone therapy. Weight gain was more pronounced in transmasculine patients between the ages of 17–29 as compared with those ≥30 years old. The mean BMI and obesity rates were lower in the Latino group as compared with the other two groups. Throughout the study, the prevalence of obesity and severe obesity was much higher for the transmasculine group than the transfeminine group. Over half of the transmasculine patients had obesity beyond 34 months of testosterone therapy.
And this:
The weight gain associated with 3–24 months of testosterone therapy in transmasculine individuals is consistent with most previous studies [8–13, 16]. In a body composition study using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry, trans men had an increase in lean body mass and decrease in fat mass at multiple sites following testosterone therapy for one year [17]. Testosterone is the most likely reason for the weight gain as it occurred within 2–4 months of initiation of GAHT. Two small studies in Germany and the United States, however, reported no change to BMI among trans men treated with either testosterone undecanoate for 24 months or IM testosterone esters or transdermal testosterone [18, 19].
Despite this massive weight gain, they still retain female-pattern adipose fat deposits. The thin pooners you see on social media are only half of their group; the rest are absolute cave trolls. If their hearts don't get fucked by the T, the massive weight gain will do them in.
