Off-Topic "Scientific" Studies regarding Transpeople

[Aero the Alcoholic Bat]

Worth noting this actual has precedent, in Russia that had a study of gay teens / would be trannies, and giving them testosterone helped a ton / removed those feelings. So this isn't just a meme, this 100% could work.

To avoid derailing the thread this quoted post appeared in, mind looking for it and posting it here?

EDIT:

This is what he was talking about, along with Snopes trying to debunk it:

Rates of Psychiatric Emergencies Before and After Gender Affirming Surgery

Introduction and Objective:
Despite rates of comorbid psychologic illness in cases of gender dysphoria being estimated to be 70% greater than the general population, there is a dearth of literature concerning this topic. In this study we aimed to assess rates of psychiatric emergencies before and after gender affirming surgery in a large population-based cohort.

Methods:
All persons undergoing feminizing (vaginoplasty) and masculinizing (metoidioplasty/ phalloplasty) genital gender affirming surgery were identified in California from 2012-2018 from the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development datasets using appropriate ICD-9/10 codes. All emergency room and inpatient psychiatric encounters were identified (noting those involving suicide attempts). Rates of these encounters were calculated before and after gender affirming surgery (using date of first operation if staged). On average, patients had a balanced two years of observation before and after their surgery.

Results:
Overall, 869 and 357 patients were identified undergoing vaginoplasty and phalloplasty with 193 (22.2%) and 74 (20.7%) having at least one psychiatric encounter (Table 1). Although the overall proportion of those experiencing a psychiatric encounter was similar between the vaginoplasty and phalloplasty groups, suicide attempts were more common in the vaginoplasty group (4.4% vs. 1.7%, p=0.033). The rate of a psychiatric encounter occurring after surgery if an episode prior surgery occurred was 33.9% and 26.5% for the vaginoplasty and phalloplasty groups. The overall rates of suicide attempts doubled (3.3 vs 1.5%, p=0.017) after vaginoplasty (effect not observed after phalloplasty).

Conclusions:
Rates of psychiatric emergencies are high both before and after gender affirming surgery. Although both the phalloplasty and vaginoplasty patients have similar overall rates of psychiatric encounters, suicide attempts are more common in the later. In fact, our observed rate of suicide attempts in the phalloplasty group is actually similar to the general population, while the vaginoplasty group's rate is more than double that of the general population. Patients undergoing GAS with a history of prior psychiatric emergences or feminizing transition are at higher risk and should be counseled appropriately.

This image is funny, just because the words "male" and "female" lose all meaning in these topics. Is it female at birth, are they just being nice to MTF trannies? Who fuckin' knows anymore and I don't care enough to open the article to find out.
If it's FTM trannies then NICE, welcome to the 4:1 male:female suicide rate ladies - i see you're making up for lost time!

These are the suicide rates of the general population. Roughly 20 to 23 percent are male. If MtF patients have double the rate of suicide than the general population, then their rates hit a certain number you may be familiar with.

The image you're talking about shows roughly 20 / 100,000 males die from suicide. So that would be 0.2%, not 20%. For the total it is roughly 0.1% of the population dies from suicide, and for women it is roughly 0.05% of women die from suicide. The vertical axis is deaths per 100,000 not percent, so its really easy to misread.

Yes, I think you're right. The study itself presents its information as percent increases relative to this scale as well, so it's really muddling.

Thanks for clarifying, I was being a retard.

So now you can no longer blame bullying or gender reassignment surgery denial on the suicides, receiving the surgery is the cause of the suicides and now there's scientific evidence proving it.

I for one am shocked that chopping your dick off and shoving medical dilators in the wound 3 times a week doesn't improve depression.

 

[FlappyBat]

The overall rates of suicide attempts doubled (3.3 vs 1.5%, p=0.017) after vaginoplasty

Unless they pumped up those numbers for success, I say this goes towards them being true and honest women.

It's an election year, the RNC should pay for free troon surgeries.

Clearly the people doing the study are transphobic.

Man who woulda thunk it.

Dear god.
41% all the way.
I'm sure is now near 50%.

published 1st Sep 2021, weird how studies like this go unreported but ones with samples sizes of 4 will make headlines. really makes you thunk

lol, lmfao even

I say we double, no, TRIPLE 'anny's rates!!!!

>-ACK!

Quick, turn one of the big RNC members trans!! Matt Geatz get OVER HERE!!

This has to be wrong. I was told these are life sustaining interventions.
