I did say I would do this. And I'm Autistic enough to drop this down.

Over the past few weeks, we have seen the Rats double down on trying to shit up the internet by shutting down science. In fact, we know the troons got a major gender research facility shut down in Toronto. This was something people like Katherine Cross and Zinnia Jones had a hand in.

As an academic, no fucking more. It's time the Rat King gets hit with a weapon we have. Our autism and science.

And I'll start with a paper from an enemy of the Rat King, Dr. Kenneth Zucker.

INTRODUCTION
Children who meet the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for Gender Dysphoria (or who show
marked gender-variant behavior but are subthreshold for the diagnosis) have been described in the clinical and research literature for over 60 years. In the early years, this literature focused almost entirely on children whose birth-assigned sex was male (e.g., Friend, Schiddel, Klein, & Dunaeff, 1954; Green, 1974; Green & Money, 1960). The more recent literature, however, has afforded more attention to females, which has identified both similarities and differences between girls and boys in diagnostic features and associated characteristics.

1 Girls are referred less frequently than boys for a clinical evaluation (Becker, Gjergji-Lama, Roger, & Möller, 2014; Wood et al., 2013) and, on average, at a later age (Cohen-Kettenis, Owen, Kaijser, Bradley, & Zucker, 2003). In two studies, the percentage of girls vs. boys who met the complete DSM diagnostic criteria for what was formerly termed Gender Identity Disorder (GID) did not differ significantly (e.g., Cohen-Kettenis et al., 2003; Wallien & Cohen-Kettenis, 2008), but in a third study girls were more likely to be threshold for the diagnosis than boys (Steensma, McGuire, Kreukels, Beekman, & Cohen-Kettenis, 2013). On dimensional measures of gender-variant severity, girls, on average, appear to be more extreme than boys (e.g., Johnson et al., 2004; Steensma et al., 2014; Wallien et al., 2009; Zucker, Bradley, & Sanikhani, 1997). Despite
showing more extreme gender-variant behavior on dimensional measures, girls in the GID spectrum are subject to less peer ostracism than boys (e.g., Cohen-Kettenis et al., 2003;
Steensma et al., 2014; Wallien, Veentra, Kreukels, & Cohen-Kettenis, 2010)

This thread will be for any scientific studies, publication and research thesis pretaining to GID and other avenues toward it.

Because seriously, fuck the Rat Kings.

Update: here are some top items to put on along with the GID research or the woo research to tear apart.
  1. Narcissistic behavior
  2. Social behavior
  3. Homosexuality
  4. Crossdressing
  5. The "Sissy" Phenomenon
  6. Internet Culture
  7. Call-out Culture
  8. Child maturity, especially relationship in between male and female
  9. Age of consent research
  10. The correlation of autism and Transtrender or Transgender
Those would probably also help, along with the "Verboten Five" scientific studies.

The Rat King hates truscum because truscum are trannies that like a more scientific approach.
So I'll put this blog in this thread as a resource.

I forgot about that Tumblr. It is a good place to have.

And Kylelyn Garrett claims only five researchers are in the field against troons. Nope.

Here is Dr. Doug Vanderlaan, PhD.

Androphilia refers to sexual attraction toward adult males, whereas gynephilia refers to sexual attraction toward adult females. The kin selection hypothesis posits that androphilic males help kin increase their reproductive output via kin-directed altruism, thus offsetting their own lowered reproduction and contributing to the fitness of genes underpinning male androphilia. Support for this hypothesis has been garnered in several Samoan studies showing that feminine androphilic males (known locally as fa'afafine) report elevated willingness to invest in nieces and nephews in adulthood. Also, recalled childhood kin attachment and concern for kin's well-being are elevated among Canadian androphilic males (i.e., gay men) and positively associated with childhood feminine gender expression. This study examined whether these childhood patterns were cross-culturally consistent and associated with adulthood kin-directed altruism in a Samoan sample. Samoan gynephilic men, androphilic women, and fa'afafine (N = 470) completed measures of recalled childhood kin attachment and concern for the well-being of kin, recalled childhood gender expression, and willingness in adulthood to invest in nieces and nephews. Fa'afafine recalled elevated anxiety due to separation from kin relative to men and elevated concern for kin's well-being relative to both men and women. Within groups, these characteristics were most robustly associated with childhood feminine gender expression and willingness in adulthood to invest in nieces and nephews among fa'afafine. These findings are consistent with the kin selection hypothesis and the adaptive feminine phenotype model, which proposes that a disposition toward elevated kin-directed altruism among androphilic males is associated with feminine gender expression.

Elevated Kin-Directed Altruism Emerges in Childhood and Is Linked to Feminine Gender Expression in Samoan Fa'afafine: A Retrospective Study.

This is the link to the full research. I'll see if I can get the notes from Doug himself, as he has it request only.

A problem faced with refuting Rat King claims is that a lot of studies take a long time to do, such as long-term follow-ups on the efficacy of gender reassignment surgery. The studies out now are from people who got the surgery in 2007-2009, and not really reflective of the current crop of trenders.

What I can take away from the link in the OP is the high degree of comorbidity of GID with other psychological problems. It gets back to the idea of whether dysphoria is a symptom or a cause of anxiety/depression.

Online social groups are enriched for two traits: geeky interests and poor social skills, including autism. (After all, most normies aren’t spending their social lives online.) This group has a high sensitivity to rejection, since they’ve felt it in their lives before at school, and possibly even from their parents. This makes them vulnerable to emotional blackmail of this nature, specifically shame, due to their low self-esteem. (q.v. Geek Social Fallacy #1) This also would explain their knee-jerk reaction to anything the perceive as bullying, since they've been victims of it IRL. Ironically, they become bullies themselves, as the cycle of abuse repeats.

Fandom, trans, and social justice circles are very easy to get access to. All you need to do is speak the right cultural shibboleths, and you’re in. Now you have a group of friends that will bombard you with acceptance and soothe your frayed social phobia. To a geek, this type of attention can be very addictive, and they will do anything to keep it flowing—or prevent themselves from losing their supply, as the case may be. The wounded ego is unable to understand why they are not socially accepted in real life, which gives the id opportunity to seize the driver’s seat. Social standing within the group becomes an all-consuming drive to avoid experiencing the pain of rejection. In sufficiently intense cases, this even becomes a vessel for social competition. The more “woke” you are, the more status you have within the group. And since the members are so hungry for status, the competition becomes very intense indeed. Rational thought is abandoned if favor of securing more status.

Likewise, being trans explains away a good deal of your social problems. If you feel that people are out to get you, and you feel uncomfortable in your own skin or exhibit some gender nonconforming behavior, declaring yourself to be trans makes these problems suddenly make sense. Even better, it relieves you of the burden of responsibility for them. If it's a real condition that real psychiatrists have a name for, and real patients get treated for, then it’s everyone else’s fault that you feel shame. The world is to blame for your unhappiness, you’re a helpless victim. In this manner, the social fears are further allayed.

Troonhood also gives you a nearly unassailable motte, as we’ve seen so many rat king members use it. In order for their fear of rejection to be be soothed, the above conditions must always be true. Any suggestion that they are not trans, or that there is any way to react to people being trans besides immediate submission is met with narcissistic rage. The rat king therefore goes back to their motte, and claims that such ideas are harmful to them. It’s another type of emotional blackmail: “Do as I say, or I’ll be harmed”. Or alternatively, “you’ll be harmed”, since public shaming is the weapon of choice for the rat king. For the reasons outlined above, they consider this the most painful thing imaginable to inflict on someone.

We should also not overlook the vicarious virtue that comes with identifying yourself as a victim, or victim-by-proxy. In a community where identity is based on sentimental solidarity of remembered victimhood, people are increasingly desirous to wear the scars of others, almost as a badge of honor. This is especially true when society rewards victims with sympathy or money; this creates incentives to declare oneself as a victim, even in the absence of any personal experience of suffering or oppression. The average Rat King member firmly believes that roving gangs of Neo-Nazis could murder them at any moment in broad daylight, and no one would say a thing, due to their identity. They want to believe this is true. They need to believe this is true, because they benefit from this belief.

Troonhood further offers an outlet to cope with certain uncomfortable feelings. Adolescents struggling with sexual identity or repressed homosexual urges may manifest such feelings as self-loathing by drawing attention to their deviant sexuality. In the context of a group, this becomes not only a social signifier, but also the accepted way for people to process these feelings. Phil, for example, relies on presenting himself as being militarily trans to cope with the perceived rejection from his father. People with autism mimic this behavior, since they have learned that this is the way to express these feelings.

In summary, the rat king benefits the socially awkward and anxious in the following ways:
  • It gives them an easily obtainable sense of belonging.
  • It absolves them of responsibility for their actions.
  • It gives them social capital to strike back against outsiders.
  • It offers relief from anxiety about themselves by outsourcing it to a group identity.
  • It allows them to express repressed feelings of sexuality.

I have called this type of behavior cult-like in the past, and I maintain that this is the case. The rat king creates a state of emotional dependence on its members to protect their self-esteem. Going against them means that you value your own needs rather than the cause, and as we have seen so many times before, they love nothing more than shaming one of their own for wrongthink. This creates an atmosphere of fear. Similarly, the rat king emphasizes that the outside world is inherently harmful, because after all, the world hates you for being trans, and that they are only island of safety—despite the fact this escape route still has its own fear, as detailed above. The group further asserts control by encouraging its members to break off any relationships with people deemed transphobic for the most trivial of reasons, even close friends and family members. All of these are methods of cult control.

The bad news is that this means rat king members are not going to find appeals to reason or facts persuasive. Indeed, we've seen them react by accusing science of being transphobic or a tool of the patriarchy. They are too emotionally invested in the group to go against it, and will act irrationally to stay where they are. Regrettably, you cannot save people from themselves. The best we can do is offer an alternative that keeps people from diving in too deeply.

Another big question is how many trenders actually go and see the doctor/therapist for their 'Dysphoria' and how many grow out their hair and don't bother shaving to claim that they are true and honest women. I'd be interested to see how many of the Rat King have actually seen specialists.

Due to HIPAA in the USA and similar laws in the British Commonwealth System NHS, we won't know because of the laws. Basically the same basic privacy we enjoy with our doctor, they do as well. And unless it's related to census studies where doctors have to give general information, we may never truly know.

Oh I absolutely know and respect that fact, but it would still be most enlightening.

My guess is probably a low number. Most therapists are smart enough to recognize when people are faking it, and they don't give into emotional blackmail easily. Though that may no longer be completely true...

Remember, these people do not want to get better. They want relief from their unhappiness, which won't happen until the underlying cause is treated. Their suffering is real, but they are coping with it in a very poor way.
 
I don't remember where I read this, but I could swear I saw something that proved some sort of link between autism and transgenderism. Which does make sense, seeing as they're both conditions that affect how the brain functions and processes things.

I'd do some snooping around tumblr for info on troons with legit diagnoses, but that side of the site enrages me, so all I can really say is that from what I know of tumblr troons, the ones who post selfies rarely ever make any attempt to pass, and oftentimes are admittedly self-diagnosed (if they claim to have dysphoria at all). I think I've seen one transguy who got called out on "looking like a girl" (which imo he didn't, given what he had to work with) who had proof of having seen a therapist.
 
That didn't take long.

Because seriously, fuck the Rat Kings.

Is there any correlation observed with testosterone levels and GID? Just curious given Baron-Cohen's study/repeated claims of high testosterone and ASD.

This study, excerpted below:

This is the first study to test directly the prediction that fetal steroidogenic activity is elevated in autism. We find that amniotic fluid steroid hormones are elevated in those who later received diagnoses on the autism spectrum. Rather than the abnormality being restricted to a specific steroid hormone, a latent steroidogenic factor is elevated, which includes all hormones in the Δ4 pathway, as well as cortisol. This observation suggests dysregulation of pathways mediated by cytochrome P450-containing enzymes that catalyze the conversion of hormones along the Δ4 and glucocorticoid pathways. Prior evidence pointing toward the importance of such enzymes was previously found via genetic associations between autism and single-nucleotide polymorphisms in CYP17A1, CYP19A1 and CYP11B1genes.13

Critical article on the Baron-Cohen study, but it is the New Republic. Meaning it probably isn't worth a click.
