What do you think of trans-age persons?

Are you trans-age?

💩

the original point was you claiming behaving and identifying as a different gender you are born with is not normal in your own words, yet certain animals in the animal kingdom display these traits making it natural and normal. it's a minority and only happens in special circumstances but it happens anyway. you can't claim something isn't normal when it is seen in nature.

"Using emotion to try to turn this into a wedge issue is terrible for actually solving the medical problem these people are suffering."

the only "cure" right now for gender dysphoria is allowing that person to transition into the gender they identify as. there is no medicine and i highly doubt there will ever be such medicine that will be capable of changing a persons brain patterns and genes into stopping them identifying as a different gender they were born as.

"Using emotion to try to turn this into a wedge issue is terrible for actually solving the medical problem these people are suffering. Their suicide rate is atrocious!"

societal factors ARE the main reasons why the suicide rate is so high as well as not being able to transition as well as feeling unsupported by their peers. the depression and suicidal rates in post transition trans people are lower than in trans people who have not fully transitioned or had surgery -

"Apparently, distress and impairment are the two essential characteristics of a mental disorder, and they found transgender people can experience some distress but not because they are transgender, but because of social rejection and violence."

"Transgender individuals, particularly those who cannot access treatment for gender dysphoria or who encounter unsupportive social environments, are more likely than the general population to experience health challenges such as depression, anxiety, suicidality and minority stress. While gender transition can mitigate these challenges, the health and well-being of transgender people can be harmed by stigmatizing and discriminatory treatment."

"Transwomen have diminished mental health-related quality of life compared with the general female population. However, surgical treatments (e.g. FFS, GRS, or both) are associated with improved mental health-related quality of life."

"The subjects proclaimed an overall positive change in their family and social life. None of them showed any regrets about the SRS."

"Suicidal ideation and actual attempts reduced after transition, with 63% thinking about or attempting suicide more before they transitioned and only 3% thinking about or attempting suicide more post-transition. 7% found that this increased during transition, which has implications for the support provided to those undergoing these processes (N=316)."

"SADS, HAD-A, and HAD-Depression (HAD-D) mean scores were significantly higher among patients who had not begun cross-sex hormonal treatment compared with patients in hormonal treatment (F=4.362, p=.038; F=14.589, p=.001; F=9.523, p=.002 respectively). Similarly, current symptoms of anxiety and depression were present in a significantly higher percentage of untreated patients than in treated patients (61% vs. 33% and 31% vs. 8% respectively)."

"Social support, reduced transphobia, and having any personal identification documents changed to an appropriate sex designation were associated with large relative and absolute reductions in suicide risk, as was completing a medical transition through hormones and/or surgeries (when needed)."

"I want to help them, not continue their delusions"

this is why the depression and suicidal rate is so high in transgender people, because of thoughts like this. many of the studies i've linked above literally mention transgender people with a higher rate of suicide feel like that is because of lack of medical care or feeling unsupported either by family members or society. you are apart of the problem of why transgender depression and suicidal rates are so high.

trangender people don't kill themselves because they are transgender, they kill themselves because of people hating them, stigmatizing them and emotionally and physically assaulting them. the majority of deaths is caused because of how society treats them.

"Suicide attempts occur due to a complex interaction between socio-political, environmental, interpersonal and structural risk factors. Rather than suicidality perceived as inherent to the trans experience, trans people appear to exhibit higher rates of suicidality as a manifestation of social discrimination."

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32345113/

"Fifty six percent of youth reported a previous suicide attempt and 86% reported suicidality. Logistic regressions indicated that models for both lifetime suicide attempts and suicidality were significant. Interpersonal microaggressions, made a unique, statistically significant contribution to lifetime suicide attempts and emotional neglect by family approached significance. School belonging, emotional neglect by family, and internalized self-stigma made a unique, statistically significant contribution to past 6-month suicidality."

"Researchers analyzed pooled data from the 2017 and 2018 National Crime Victimization Survey, the first comprehensive and nationally representative criminal victimization data to include information on the gender identity and sex assigned at birth of respondents.

Results showed that both transgender women and men had higher rates of violent victimization than their cisgender counterparts, but there were no differences between transgender men and women.

Transgender people are over four times more likely than cisgender people to experience violent victimization, including rape, sexual assault, and aggravated or simple assault"

"People advertising this to children is horrendous."

what do you mean by this? explaining to children that transgender people simply exist in the same world as them isn't advertising or grooming them to become transgender themselves. if people are walking up to children and are literally telling them to become transgender because it's so cool or some shit then yeah obviously that's wrong but i've never really seen any articles or news posts about people wandering around telling children being transgender is good and that they should become trans.
