      “Your child will commit suicide if their gender is not reassigned” is an example of misinformation, but I suspect you don’t see any problem with distributing that view via the post office.

        No one is saying that it will be deadly, always. What depriving a trans person from gender affirming care does is make them miserable, drive them towards unhealthy coping mechanism and raises suicidality.

        The evidence is neutral at best, yeah?

        There’s also a meta review, that, while saying that more rigorous research is needed, says

        Of the 23 studies that met the inclusion criteria, the majority indicated a reduction in suicidality following gender-affirming treatment

        So, stop lying.

          But the care results in no reduction in suicidality.

            After adjusting for potential confounders, accessing GAH during early adolescence (aOR = 0.4, 95% CI = 0.2-0.6, p < .0001), late adolescence (aOR = 0.5, 95% CI = 0.4-0.7, p < .0001), or adulthood (aOR = 0.8, 95% CI = 0.7-0.8, p < .0001) was associated with lower odds of past-year suicidal ideation when compared to desiring but never accessing GAH. In post hoc analyses, access to GAH during adolescence (ages 14-17) was associated with lower odds of past-year suicidal ideation (aOR = 0.7, 95% CI = 0.6-0.9, p = .0007) when compared to accessing GAH during adulthood.

            Okay you’re just straight up lying now. I’m done here, piss off.

              These are low-quality studies that ignore confounders and don’t include people who resolve their dysphoria by other means, including by no longer experiencing it.
