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.

EXCERPT:

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?

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

I wonder why the Transphobic have to go to foreign studies to find something, when studies in this country have found the opposite.

Gender-affirming Care Saves Lives

Growing legislative attempts to limit, ban, or criminalize access to this critical model of medical care endangers the health and well-being of transgender and nonbinary youth.

Research demonstrates that gender-affirming care—a medical and psychosocial health care designed to affirm individuals' gender identities—greatly improves the mental health and overall well-being of gender diverse, transgender, and nonbinary children and adolescents.

This is more of your usual junior-high woke tactic of using name calling to attack anyone who disagrees with you. Do you think the Finnish scientists who did the study are "transphobic"? How about the editors and peer reviewers of the journal that published the Finnish study, Acta Paediatrica--are they "transphobic"?

BTW, have you figured out yet that Hitler was the problem? I ask because you famously said, "Hitler wasn't the problem." You've already repeatedly said that the Nazis had valid reasons for hating the Jews. I mention these things because readers should know your sick mindset when they read your posts.

And why am I not surprised that you support gender mutilation for minors and that you ignore the hard scientific fact that there are only two genders, that male and female brains have different neurological pathways, and that it is physically impossible to "change" gender?

when studies in this country have found the opposite.

Not one of those studies was as extensive and prolonged as the Finnish study. The so-called "research" cited by Matouk and Wald was based on leading, selective survey methods and limited or zero follow-up. Moreover, plenty of American research has reached the same conclusion as the Finnish study--you're just unaware of it because you never bother to read the other side before you go running with whatever source you've found online that says what you want to believe. You didn't even read the extensive Just the News article on the Finnish study cited in my OP, did you?

Here's just some of the American research that disputes your whitewash of transgenderism:

How Many Trans People Regret Transitioning? | Human Life International

Transgender regret statistics: how many trans people regret surgery? More than you'd think, given the mainstream media narrative.

And speaking of science, how about the massively documented, undisputed fact that the reasoning function of the human brain does not fully develop until around the age of 24, yet your side wants to allow minors to get irreversible transgender surgery when they are in no position to be making that decision.

BTW, did you hear about the recent court case where a young woman successfully sued her psychologist and surgeon for talking her into having transgender surgery as a teenager, winning a large settlement in the case? Interestingly, soon after that case was publicized, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons officially recommended not having transgender surgery before the age of 19. I guess money does talk.

Yup. Transphobic garbage. In 20 years, we'll all be embarassed, kind of the way we are embarrassed by homophobia today. .

BTW, have you figured out yet that Hitler was the problem?

Nope, 2000 years of Christian Anti-Semitism was the problem, combined with Jewish Revolutionaries and Bankers ass-raping the German people.

Hitler was just the guy who lit the match.

And why am I not surprised that you support gender mutilation for minors and that you ignore the hard scientific fact that there are only two genders, that male and female brains have different neurological pathways, and that it is physically impossible to "change" gender?

I'm curious if you know any transgender people, or if they are just some scary thing you think hides under your bed.

Yes, that's the whole point. Male and Female brains operate differently and transgender brains operate more like their identified sex than assigned sex.

The so-called "research" cited by Matouk and Wald was based on leading, selective survey methods and limited or zero follow-up.

Nope, I don't read any of the whacked out crap you post here.

I'm just pointing out your transphobia, no doubt brought about by religious stupidity.

How are Transgender people bothering you by merely existing?

How are Transgender people bothering you by merely existing?

They don't. But they do bother me by promoting their mental disorder as normal, influencing children at school, and seeking unfair advantage in women's sports.

They don't. But they do bother me by promoting their mental disorder as normal, influencing children at school, and seeking unfair advantage in women's sports.

Okay, let's look at those three things.

No evidence it's a mental disorder, just another form of sexuality. Women who had opinions were once declared "hysterical," and homosexuality was once declared a mental illness. NEXT

Nobody is going to "influence" kids unless they are already so inclined. When did you choose to be a cisgender heterosexual? Was there actually a day you were thinking about it and decide, "Naw, I really like chicks!"

As for athletes, out of 50,000 athletes in the NCAA, only 10 are transgender. This is hardly a crisis.

 

[DonGlock26]

No evidence it's a mental disorder,

What was the evidence back when it was a mental disorder?

Religious bigotry isn't evidence.
