Massive 3-Decade Study Finds Gender Transition Causes Higher Rates of Mental Issues

[mikegriffith1]

A massive, prolonged Finnish study, published in the prestigious medical journal Acta Paediatrica, has found that minors and young adults who undergo hormonal and/or surgical intervention to "transition" to the opposite sex suffer from markedly higher rates of mental health issues ("psychiatric morbidity").

Just the News is running an excellent, detailed article on the study:

Mental health worsens after medicalized gender transitions, three-decade youth study finds

The "psychiatric morbidity" gap between "gender-referred adolescents" and controls, already wide before referral to gender clinics, got bigger after referral, Finnish study finds. Trans activists question methodology, discourage debate.

When Children's Hospital Los Angeles pediatrician Johanna Olsen-Kennedy found no improvement in mental health for gender-confused youth who went on puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, she hid the results of her taxpayer-funded study for several years for fear the findings would be used to limit so-called gender-affirming care. . . .
Researchers tracked all "gender-referred individuals" under 23 years old in Finland from 1996 to 2019, a population of nearly 2,100, and matched them to more than 16,000 controls, according to their study in the Wiley-Blackwell journal Acta Paediatrica.

"Gender-referred adolescents showed significantly higher psychiatric morbidity than controls" before referral, 45.7% versus 15%, and the gap widened after referral, to 61.7% versus 14.6%, they found. . . .

The results were especially alarming for adolescents who received hormonal and surgical interventions to resemble the opposite sex. Psychiatric morbidity rose from 9.8% to 60.7% for males seeking to resemble females ("feminising gender reassignment"), and from 21.6% to 54.5% for females seeking to resemble males ("masculinising").

Wow! It took them three decades to come to the conclusion that most rational people arrive at within minutes of talking with one of these loons?

The left only accept the facts they want to accept.

Yeah, this is basic common sense. The absurdity is that it took 3 decades for them to figure this out.
