While researching I found this study on the TRANSITION between juvenile crime, it’s DESISTANCE factors and it’s BINARY relationship with regard to the TWO SEXES. Mini thread 🧵
This sounded VERY familiar to me. “Most juvenile offenders desist from offending as they become adults.” You mean to tell me there is some psychosocial and physiological reasons why teenagers/pubescent humans act differently than adults and it’s not permanent?
Shocking!
Not only that but science doesn’t know all the variables of why teenagers behaviors desist for most but persist for others? And they especially have no idea what these factors are for women! Why don’t they just make up a treatment and try it for a decade? Duh.
Here’s the aims and methods of the study.
What they found was juvenile referrals, especially for serious crimes were predictors of adult recidivism in the MEN. But not for the WOMEN where they found the predictors were Adverse Childhood Experiences, family violence, trauma, abuse and parental divorce. Sound familiar?
The severity of male criminality seems to be a predictor in and of itself, though I suspect there is unknown traumas and factors such as developmental issues, IQ and endochrine issues. Acting out in teenhood for girls seems to be socialized from ACE inclusion.
Now take these young girls, add in things like autism spectrum disorder, and body issues, and block their natural hormones and mega dose them with testosterone. A direct binary mirror treatment to what they do for confused boys. Sound reasonable from what all other studies say?
It seems in criminal studies the conclusion is to treat girls/young women differently from boys/young men. Sex matters in law, policy and healthcare so why do gender clinics treat these two demographics the same? Affirmation, block natural indigenous hormones add endogenous drugs
Lacking evidence based analysis/quantitative syntheses, lacking data, no follow-ups (68% of the gender clinic services users’ outcomes were unknown/ refused to be given to the Cass Review) didn’t seem to slow the Gender Borg rollingvover the globe as best practice healthcare. Fin

I know it is “its” in the first post as a possessive. I was writing two threads at once. Gimme a pass.
