@jazzrat2000 @princess_stef69 1/ Almost all research on trans children until very recently was intended to justify pretty baseless beliefs or protocols, & anthing counter those was deliberately not reported. Sometimes, as in the case of Benjamin, who treated adolescents in the 50/60s, out of fear of haters.
@jazzrat2000 @princess_stef69 2/ Glaring, & continuing examples are those who for centuries fled hateful families & joined trans communities in 🇮🇳🇵🇰🇧🇩🇱🇰. So many of them obtained, in those pre-agonists, pre-hormones days, surgery in time to stop the wrong puberty📽️
that…
that…
@jazzrat2000 @princess_stef69 3/…🇮🇳 police define one trans diversity as typically having had surgery at 10. Only one doctor ever published anything, & he suppressed the paper. Now they📽️ use over-the-counter hormones at first, which one might think would interest researchers, but still no one publshes…
@jazzrat2000 @princess_stef69 4/ In 🇹🇭, where Buddhist culture is to accept people can be "born in the wrong body", every school has several "kathoey" (feminine males) but they must wear male uniform & hair cuts. 5% of "males" in📽️ school were kathoey in 2009, & 11 went on camera as intending transition
@jazzrat2000 @princess_stef69 5/ A 13yo trans girl in that N-E🇹🇭 school showed📽️ the hormones she had recently started. Thai trans🚺 have used The Pill to switch puberty for decades now, by their own decision, seemingly with zero problems. No one has ever published on it.
