A major new study has found that cross-sex hormones do not reduce the likelihood of gender-confused adolescents from committing suicide. It finds that what they need is mental health support, which can be lacking due to a reliance on a medical intervention mentalhealth.bmj.com/content/27/1/e…
Oh Post Malone. Cowboys jacket? 🤦🏼♀️
If adolescents know themselves well enough and have the cognitive ability to consent to treatments that will effect their long-term health & wellbeing, then they must be as capable as adults when it comes to criminal proceedings. Should trans kids be treated as adults in court?
Dear X, I don’t give a flying fuck about having a blue check. Please just stop giving me ads about babies. I’m happily child free.
The sex-dependent association of testosterone & non-alcoholic fatty liver disease noted by @TTExulansic is well-backed by research- Women with high testosterone have a 40% increased odds of NAFLD (OR 1.40), while men with high testosterone have a 44% decreased odds (OR 0.56).

Happy New Years everyone!
Affirmation is giving T to a young person with neglectful, abusive, homophobic parents who support her transition because it will ‘fix’ her. Affirmation provides T to a girl trying to find a way to feel safe when she doesn’t expect anyone to care about her well-being. Idiotic
So when did we get back to gendered clothing and immediately judging people based on what they wear rather than their actions? Oh wait, we never stopped.
This tweet is about someone I love but it’s also about young women on testosterone and the Wernicke’s area of the brain: I watched over the course of 8 months as this person I love descended into an escalating hell and then he died. He spoke less and less and, when he did speak,…
🧵Either Piaget, Bandura, Vygotsky, Erikson, etc, with their long term empirical research are right about how children develop through childhood & into adults. Or Money & his speculative theory about "gender identity" being immutable is right. There is no middle ground. /1
When a family has to crowd fund a funeral and/or celebration of life, that’s fucked up.

Turban et al. (2021) published a study that concluded that gender identity conversion efforts (GICE) are detrimental to mental health. This study was thoroughly refuted by D’Angelo et al. (2021). They attempted to publish their Letter to the Editor in the same journal, JAMA…

@SansAffirmation @elegationvain Part of it isn’t just how others we me but how I see me. For me, medicalization was the last resort. Despite this, for others it was never going to be an option there was always something else more that I “should” or “ought” to do. I wished people stopped trying to fix me.
@FemmeLoves 1) Being a teenage girl is very different to being a teenage boy. (Plus, adult men & teen girls are unlikely to have the same goals/motives)

Transmen moved out of women’s spaces in consideration of women’s needs. Transwomen barged their way into women’s spaces with no consideration of women’s needs. If that doesn’t signify the difference between the sexes, I’m not sure what would convince you.

Young age was significantly correlated with higher rates of developing substance induced psychosis which led to schizophrenia. If you’re going to use mind altering substances such as cannabis, it’s probably best to wait til your brain has fully developed.
Just a reminder - cannabis/THC is not a benign drug, especially at high potency. 1/200 people develop psychosis requiring medical intervention. 47% of people with cannabis-induced psychosis end up developing schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.
update: the food bank bandit was fired
this guy has a job as a bank data scientist for @TD_Canada, a position that averages $98,000 per year, and proudly uploaded this video showing how much “free food” he gets from charity food banks. you don’t hate them enough.
I immediately recognized his face from the picture in this tweet and ran back to my old texts to recall that day when I met him. This officer went above and beyond for me and couldn’t have been nicer that day. May you RIP Luis Huesca.
@TullipR The report does strongly highlight the failure to keep adequate records of just about anything related to what the clinics like to call 'gender healthcare'. This appears to include follow up after 'treatment'. So there is virtually no systematic knowledge about negative outcomes.
