I don’t actually necessarily think that there’s a contradiction between the Economist article and these links (which I did take a look at, yes). This says that as a whole, giving gender-affirming care to transgender individuals is overwhelmingly good for them. I can believe that. The Economist says that when you limit it to adolescents, it’s a lot less clear. I can also believe that. Do you have sources indicating clear positive outcomes for adolescents? Like I say, I’m genuinely interested in learning.
Hey look, we're back to concern-trolling trans people so that we can deny them care again
Gee, it's almost like the economist isn't a scientific publication
Where the hell are the mods for this sub?
Is this a propaganda sub?
Scorecard: 21 downvotes, 1 call for my post to be removed, 4 people vigorously telling me I'm wrong, and 0 responses to my polite request for sources showing why this article isn't accurate.
Guys, I am genuinely asking for information, because I don't know. Being eager to yell at me and silent about informing me is a bad way to be.
