They're so pissed that the reporter sympathized with them but still wrote an even-handed piece that didn't simply accept their claims:

They’ve had their expectations set from years of journalists reporting as fact what their sources believe, rather than assessing the evidence.

Hilarious that Urquhart approvingly cites Andrea James. That would be the same Andrea James who published photos of J Michael Bailey’s then-young children online, along with captions describing his daughter as a “cock-starved exhibitionist” and saying that Bailey had raped them.

Tony, and all the usual suspects (Ari Drennen, Jack Turban) are crowing about a "Randomised Controlled Trial" involving testosterone and TIFs.

Sep 7, 2023 · 4:49 PM UTC
For the first time, a randomized controlled trial has been published regarding gender affirming care. The treatment group receiving care saw a 55% reduction in suicidality, compared to 5% of control. I detail the results in my latest article. Subscribe to support my work.

Sep 7, 2023 · 4:49 PM UTC
Researchers were faced with a dilemma. Gender affirming care bans often assert "No RCTs," thus claiming evidence is "low quality." But RCTs here are unethical, trans care has the same amount of evidence as 90% of all medication. So they got to work.

Sep 7, 2023 · 4:49 PM UTC
They realized waiting times in some places can be over 3 months, and so they could do a RCT over a short follow up time and still get approved for the study- they could do this ethically. And what they found was stunning. 55% reduction in suicidality, and similar, depression.

Sep 7, 2023 · 4:50 PM UTC
While the follow up was short on this study, it is groundbreaking for being the first RCT studying this, and that it was able to do so in an ethical manner. The results are in line with observational studies over a much longer periods, which typically report 40-73% reductions.

Sep 7, 2023 · 4:52 PM UTC
Doubtless anti-trans activists will focus on the shorter follow-up. They will advocate for RCTs that withhold hormones from trans people for years, all the meanwhile advocating banning that care. They know that such studies would never be approved or conducted ethically.

I notice how Tony appears to be more concerned about shoring up his prior arguments about why RCTs for GAC are not possible (the 'unethical' argument, which is of course bogus) than actually discussing the paper (which is here; an archive). Typical of him.
Important part: THE TRIAL WAS OPEN-LABEL. The TIFS (and their doctors) knew whether or not they were receiving real testosterone.
The fact that Jack Turban publicises this - he must know full-well what an open-label trial is - is proof of just how dishonest the dude is. Admittedly, he does not claim that it was blinded:

Sep 7, 2023 · 5:41 PM UTC
New Clinical Trial Results A new randomized controlled trial found that gender-affirming testosterone treatment resulted in improvements in depression (validated measure, PHQ-9), as well as suicidality and gender dysphoria (unvalidated measures).

Important part: THE TRIAL WAS OPEN-LABEL. The TIFS (and their doctors) knew whether or not they were receiving real testosterone.

Probably most important is that testosterone is known to have some antidepressant effect. There's been some speculation that this is the reason why the TIFs in the Chen et al 2023 study improved on mood scores while TIMs didn't.

Here's what a depression researcher told Jesse Singal after the Chen paper came out:

It was pointed out to me by a depression researcher with whom I exchanged some emails about this paper […] that the researchers “utterly ignore the obvious point that testosterone has large mood-elevating, anti-anxiety, and antidepressant effects!”

Here's a systematic review from 2009 about this effect: Testosterone and depression: systematic review and meta-analysis. There are plenty of related papers on PubMed, but I think the age of this systematic review gets the point across that this is not a novel finding.

So it is extremely disingenuous for Tony (and Jack Turban and Zach Drennen and all the others) to claim that this study is an endorsement of "gender affirming care" in general, rather than evidence of the mood-boosting effects of exogenous testosterone in particular. From the first paragraph of his blog post:

Now, researchers in Melbourne, Australia, recently conducted the first randomized clinical trial to study the impact of gender-affirming care on transgender individuals. Their findings were stunning: gender-affirming care led to an reduction of suicidality in 55% of the treatment group receiving hormones, compared with just 5% in the control group.

I'm happy to see they overcame the "ethical concerns" for this study. No really. I'm 99% sure that "gender affirming care" is retarded and harmful. However, there's a small chance I'm wrong. I welcome all studies to see who's right and who's wrong on this issue.

However, and this is a big however, I know studies have been manipulated in recent history. Salt was said to be the culprit behind high blood pressure for decades. But now research is saying sugar is the real culprit. Studies that said it was salt were funded by... The sugar industry. Shocking!

So, as much as I am happy to see studies being done and as willing as I am to admit to being wrong, I'm going to press X until further notice .

But what I see is mainstream news outlets who 5 yrs ago would run a story like "First Openly Trans Woman Does X" aren't running those stories. But they are running "Shouldn't There Be Less Trans People, Maybe?"

Tony said the criticism would be the short time for the follow up and he's right.

A friend has a birthday in early December. They always got toys he wanted for his birthday and then more at Christmas. He told me once that every year as a kid he swore that THIS year he'd play with nothing but his birthday toys for the weeks between his birthday and Christmas. Every year he got bored of those toys before the 15th of December. By mid-January he was sick of Christmas toys.

It's like that whenever you really look forward to something; the initial rush is amazing, you don't think you could ever feel differently about whatever it is. But over time, it's less and less...I'll say euphoric because this is tranny shit.

There's a reason shrinks insist on three month followups for people with serious mental illness, even if you've been stable for close to a decade. People change, circumstances change, and meds may or may not become more or less effective. What treated your psychosis in January might cause it by November.

So, while I said this study is good, everyone should also criticize it for being too short. Which is another reason to X to doubt it. I can't believe I forgot that whole point earlier. Stupid short term memory.

Has anyone done an RCT to show that water is wet?

This is a dumb rejoinder, we didn't think we needed any more studies to say that men and women are different, but here we are. They're like "but if we add estrogen to the water, it might not be wet, there's no evidence that it wouldn't be!"

Very good joke Evan, I would have never thought of it. Did you know you could have once made this joke about how there's no published RCT on if jumping out of a plane with a parachute is safer than without? Then someone did it: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30545967/

Also, your example wouldn't be a RCT for if water was wet, you're testing against air which can contain humidity and thus be quite wet to the point of being visible. (If you specifically excluded water from the air then we're testing something very different.) Nice try though, it answered my question on if I should trust you over the NYT science reporter with the science degree.

That's entirely on purpose, though. They want your testimonial right after you've just paid the cost to take advantage of sunk cost fallacy. What would actually prove troonery works is if in the long-term they have a better or worse survival outcome. I suspect they would have been better back when they actually did gatekeeping than it is now that they just instantly hand out cockchops the instant tumblr tells them they're a troon.

I'm happy to see they overcame the "ethical concerns" for this study

This nonsense from Tony (and Jack Turban) about the 'ethical impossibility' of 'withholding treatment' from those who may be assigned to the placebo group in a blind trial is possibly the most annoying instance of 'cart before the horse' I've ever come across. The point of the blinded RCT is to establish that the treatment is effective (compared to placebo) IN THE FIRST PLACE. If you are doing a trial, you haven't established the efficacy, so 'withholding' the treatment from the placebo group assignees doesn't mean anything - you are only 'withholding' an unproven treatment. There are trials of novel cancer treatments all the time in which people with the cancer are assigned to the placebo group. No ethical problem.
