A just-published study (that I won't link to because they don't deserve views) looked at cis people's perception of pre-FFS and post-FFS quality of life, in comparison to being blind in one and two eyes. This isn't only useless but super grossly transmisogynistic and ableist.
So grossly ableist, in fact, that they literally removed from the study people who rated being blind in two eyes as a higher quality of life than being blind in one eye - which has a high chance of excluding participants who are, you guessed it, blind in both eyes.
As for the transmisogyny, it arises from the fact that they're not actually building on any experience of facial gender dysphoria (contrary to their claim).
Rather, they look at the cis respondents' perception of the photographed person's gender nonconformity and, in particular, how 'bad' it was to look trans. Stabbing in the back all transfeminine people who do not want to or cannot 'blend in' as cis.
This is gross fucking shit and researchers need to do better.
