@chasestrangio @jessesingal 1/
1⃣Effective intervention at Tanner2 in AFAB prevents any need for top surgery. So that's very helpful
2⃣Arlene got no answer because they were openly against such intervention - which they saw as "binary" - at the time
3⃣All such information is dismissed as "anecdotal"
…

@chasestrangio

@chasestrangio @jessesingal 2/
4⃣Criticism of European clinics is mostly from those demanding long-term, large cohort "randomised control trials" (RCT) which are unethical in established & effective treatments where non-treatment is obvious & causes irreversible lifelong harm. It is not in good faith.

@chasestrangio @jessesingal 3/
5⃣Numbers where intervention is actually at Tanner2 are minuscule, & information would need to be from years later when they were in engaged in optimal sexual relationships - Blanchard/Bailey's beloved genital flow meter laboratories are not suited, nor fMRI scanners

@JonRonson9

@JonRonson9 @LastBehaviorist @SamHarrisOrg 1/ Yes, but none of us got a user manual at birth, so we have to see what emerges & try to communicate that in the words available at the applicable age. The research Sapolsky cited only had brain tissue of those dead by the late '70s, long before any were out as non-binary…

@JonRonson9

@JonRonson9 @LastBehaviorist @SamHarrisOrg 2/…so none were included, but the range of neuron numbers across the totality of subjects & controls suggests that people can be intermediate; this might account for those unsure until later & non-binary identities. Unfortunately, no other country has ever bothered to…

@JonRonson9

@JonRonson9 @LastBehaviorist @SamHarrisOrg 3/…collect carefully documented brains of trans people, & even 🇳🇱 stopped, due to the backlash, so there's no prospect of further replication. Very high-resolution MRI scans could now pick up the size difference, in the living, but no one seems to want to do such solid research.

@ShapiroTattoo

@ShapiroTattoo @christapeterso 1/ They're conflating gender dysphoria with suicidal ideation, trying to erase that GD is frustrated #GenderIncongruence. In the Bell case, they used GIDS' lousy study of their patients which found SI wasn't reduced on PBs (negating the 🇳🇱 finding it was) to say PBs didn't…

The 🇳🇱 did the main session on endocrine care in adolescence at @TheEndoSociety conference last week (no doubt to avoid heat on US providers) & were pushing the "reduces SI" line. I don't see…

@ShapiroTattoo

@ShapiroTattoo @christapeterso @TheEndoSociety 3/…why PBs would do that directly. Perhaps the 🇳🇱 imagine its pubertal hormones directly induce depression rather than the changes they bring? I'd suggest they're in denial that their now long-outdated, prolonged PB period protocol they initiated in the '90s isn't what…

@RozKaveney

@RozKaveney @ceemage Having been forcibly made aware of the possibility of/threatened, on my 3rd birthday, in 1950, with the rest of my life in an asylum, with daily ECT, "because that's what happens to people like you", I count from then, really. But comparisons are invidious & to be avoided.

@ceemage

@ceemage 1/ As my pinned tweet says, my mother was a nurse who had gone seeking an answer to my asking her some months before to find out if doctors had a way to make me grow up as a woman, & instead learned the official NHS "treatment path". So I believed her.

@ceemage

@ceemage 2/ I decided that such a fate was worse than death & within days planned what to do if I learned I was to be taken to the asylum. A simple & practical plan for a child that age living on the corner of a busy bus route. NHS psychiatrists have much for which to apologise.

@JamesCantorPhD

@JamesCantorPhD @georgie1801 @jack_turban Once again you do the ultimate transphobe thing of trying to link us to pedophilia. Why does anyone take you seriously, James?

You know your other "reasons" are lies.⬇️

None of that answers why you ignore that seriously inconvenient research.

@JamesCantorPhD

@JamesCantorPhD @georgie1801 @jack_turban 2 / The Swaab et al research explicitly controlled for the effects of hormones, but besides, it is now known the BSTc is irreversibly gendered in the first months neonatally, & that it is normally due to the effects (or lack of effect) of androgen but at least one known…

@JamesCantorPhD

@JamesCantorPhD @georgie1801 @jack_turban 3 / …genomic variation can reverse that, yet you still try to use "adult hormone usage" as a fake argument to dismiss the findings.

The research cannot be duplicated only because no one collects the brains of trans people to examine. No doubt MRI scans will soon be able…

@mikeroscoe67

@mikeroscoe67 @NotRightRuth 1/ Completely untrue. What benefit is there for you in such lies?

The pressure was from medical ethics in the light of what became obvious after GIDS responded to the lead of their 🌍 medical peers & peer clinics.

In 2009 the veteran gender expert Prof Richard Green, recently…
