Shared post - Video of teen with congenital disorder getting trans surgery goes viral - "A video of a young woman with a congenital disorder showing off fresh double mastectomy wounds has gone viral. The posts have no context and are being used for engagement farming. But who is the woman? Is she a cancer patient? Independent journalist Sarah Fields was the first to report that the woman used in the trans-activist content is Mara Jean LeRoy, a Minneapolis-based 19-year-old now known as Micah "Mike" LeRoy. I investigated further. The teen, who has cerebral palsy, has an extremely woke, anti-Trump leftist activist mother and father. Mara is also surrounded by others who record videos and photos of her medical and surgical transition for social media. Leftist Minnesota state rep. Alicia Kozlowski, who identifies as "they/them," had met with Mara and her mother, DEI advocate Katherine Jean LeRoy, in a May 2023 post celebrating the eradication of sex-based rights in her state. Mara was medically transitioned with cross-sex hormones when she was still in high school. She suffers from epilepsy and also has had at least one stroke, according to a fundraiser by her parents. Accounts attributed to Mara online are focused entirely on trans and pride activism. Her mother has a long history of posts supporting woke causes and expressing a hatred of Donald Trump. Mara's paid carer is her father, Paul Andrew LeRoy. He uses both masculine and "nonbinary" pronouns to describe his daughter. Defenders of Mara's videos say that someone who is non-verbal can consent in other ways to medical interventions for gender affirmation. Mara uses a text-to-voice device to communicate with others. It is not known if other people manage her social media accounts."

Number of children with gender dysphoria rises 50-fold in a decade - "The number of children in England diagnosed with gender dysphoria has risen 50-fold over the past decade, research shows. Analysis of NHS GP records suggests that more than 10,000 under-18s identified as transgender or struggled with gender distress in 2021, up from about 200 in 2011... From 2015, the number of girls diagnosed with gender dysphoria began to increase much more rapidly than boys. By 2021, twice as many girls had been told they had the condition than boys. The research, published in the journal Archives of Disease in Childhood, did not examine the causes of the increase. However, the authors said possible explanations include “social factors”, such as greater use of social media, as well as worsening mental health in children, particularly girls... Cass’s report highlighted how changing “cultural norms”, peer pressure and the influence of social media are likely to have contributed to the rise in gender dysphoria. Her report said distressed children must be seen as a “whole person and not just through the lens of their gender identity” and no longer hurried to medical intervention. A team at the University of York were involved in the Cass review, reviewing data from 113,000 children in the biggest rethink of treatment for children struggling with their gender, examining 237 papers from 18 countries."
Definitely not a social contagion. Society was just repressing them. Older generations' internalised transphobia is just too strong for them to admit they're really trans

The NYT for some reason pretends they can't see these obvious facts, and instead speculate that the reason is about 'economic hardship' etc. But just because the NYT is willfully ignorant doesn't mean the rest of you have to be. This is a farce. It is so ridiculous that it would quite amusing, if it weren't for the real harm it causes to female prisoners."

Zach W. Lambert on X - "Intersex people, by definition, fall outside of the male/female binary. You've got to read a book or at least Google something before you tweet next time."
Zachary Elliott on X - "People with “intersex” disorders, which are not actually in between sexes, have sex-specific conditions. Some only affect males. Others only affect females. Knowing their sex is critical for medical treatment. For example, XX Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia can result in overproduction of androgens in a female fetus, resulting in external genitalia that appears ambiguous, even though she has ovaries and a full Mullerian (female) genital system. If we view this ambiguous genitalia as a healthy variation, and do not treat their hormonal issues medically, it can result in the death of the baby. This is because CAH can cause severe salt-wasting due to the adrenal glands not functioning properly, causing severe dehydration and organ failure. The “ambiguous” genitalia is a byproduct or marker for this adrenal problem. Knowing her sex is critical to treat her properly, to know what healthy hormone levels she needs and what is going on with her body. There are many other examples of sex-specific disorders of sex development that may result in ambiguity but cause sex-specific issues that we can’t see just through external observation. Understanding their sex is the first step in treatment so that they can live long and healthy lives."

'Considerable uncertainty' remains about giving kids puberty blockers - "The evidence surrounding the use of puberty blockers and cross sex hormones in children and teens identifying as transgender is of such low certainty it’s impossible to conclude whether the drugs help or harm, Canadian researchers are reporting. Doctors should “clearly communicate” the major uncertainties that remain with children and parents and check “whose values they are prioritizing” when prescribing puberty blockers and masculinizing or feminizing hormones to youth, they write. Article content Their findings echo those of a major British review, commissioned by the National Health Services of England, that found evidence for the safety and efficacy of puberty blockers for children with gender dysphoria is remarkably weak and “built on shaky foundations.”... The Cass Review hasn’t altered the gender-affirming approach to care in Canada. The Canadian Paediatric Society has criticized what it has called “significant limitations, biases and inaccuracies” within the review, which capped off a four-year inquiry. In a letter published in its flagship journal, the society said that “the model of gender-affirming care in Canada differs in many ways from the approach that had been in place in the U.K.” However, one federally funded study that followed 174 children who were under 16 when they were referred to one of 10 gender identity clinics in Canada found 74 per cent were put on puberty blockers. Nearly two-thirds went on to masculinizing or feminizing hormones... The use of medical interventions in children identifying as transgender or non-binary remains controversial. “There’s not enough reliable information,” said Chan Kulatunga-Moruzi, one of the authors of the two new reviews. “We really don’t have enough evidence to say that these procedures are beneficial. Few studies have looked at physical harm, so we have really no evidence of harm as well. There’s not a lot that we can say with certainty, based on the evidence.”... Originally considered fully reversible, concerns are emerging about potential long-term or irreversible effects, the Canadian team wrote this week in the journal, Archives of Disease in Childhood. Questions have been raised about the effects on fertility or what impact, if any, they might have on brain development. The Canadian team combed the available evidence, pooling the results of research on puberty blockers and gender affirming hormones for children and youth up to age 26. They graded the evidence using a scoring system co-developed by Dr. Gordon Guyatt, a celebrated McMaster University scientist who coined the phrase evidence-based medicine. Article content After screening 6,736 titles and abstracts involving puberty blockers, only 10 studies were included in their review. While children who received puberty blockers compared to those who don’t score higher on “global function” — quality of life, and general physical and psychological wellbeing — the evidence was of “very low certainty.” Very low, meaning researchers have “very little confidence in the effect estimate” and that the true effect “is likely to be substantially different from the estimate of effect.” The studies also provided low certainty of evidence on the impact of puberty blockers on depression. While they may decrease depression in “male-to-female participants,” they didn’t decrease depression scores in the female-to-male group. “We are very uncertain about the causal effect of the (drugs) on depression,” the researchers wrote. “Most studies provided very low certainty of evidence about the outcomes of interest thus, we cannot exclude the possibility of benefit or harm,” they said. The second review to assess the impact of hormone therapy (testosterone for females, estrogen for males) included 24 studies. That review also provided “very low confirmatory evidence of any substantive change” in gender dysphoria, depression or overall health, according to a release from the publishing group, BMJ Group. Article content Many studies suffered from missing data, small sample sizes or lacked a comparison group. The researchers said they didn’t find data for outcomes of death by suicide. “Since the current best evidence, including our systematic review and meta-analysis, is predominantly very low quality, clinicians must clearly communicate this evidence to patients and caregivers,” they wrote. “Treatment decisions should consider the lack of moderate- and high-quality evidence, uncertainty about the effects of puberty blockers and patient’s values and preferences,” they added. Guideline developers and policy makers should be transparent “about which and whose values they are prioritizing when making recommendations and policy decisions,” they said."

im a good bit over a year out from my surgery at this point (im still struggling with some complications, theres a spot near the opening of my vaginal canal that always seems to tear when i dilate, even when i take things really slowly and will never fully heal) but this has been kind driving me crazy. i notice that my labia stiffens up especially around the urethra when im aroused to the point where it would be quite noticeable (nothing looks wrong or weird visually, everything just gets hard) and i was wondering if this was normal? i mentioned both of these things to my surgeon (for the dilation issue, she just told me to keep applying this medical honey at every appointment, and it helped a bit at first but didnt do much in the long term) and she said there wasnt anything she could do, as removing any more erectile tissue would leave me incontinent. if its something i can get fixed or reassured about i would like to, it makes me very anxious and insecure and makes me fear potential uncomfortable moments with sexual partners"

Trainee firefighter who failed exam 'became a woman because the pass mark was lower' - and was successful - "A trainee firefighter has been accused of jumping the queue to qualify after they failed to pass the physical exam as a man and then said they were changing gender to 'take advantage of lower pass marks' required by female candidates. The candidate, known as David, initially failed to pass the exam as a man by not achieving a high enough score. But shortly after receiving the news, it has been claimed the firefighter then announced they were changing gender. According to the rules in Spain, a woman can qualify by achieving a lower score in the physical tests because of the strength differences between sexes. It comes as Spain introduced its Trans Law last year, which allows anyone to legally change gender without medical evaluation or justification on psychological grounds. The Times reported another candidate, Raul Asenjo, initially qualified to become a firefighter. However, when David moved from 201st place to 101st in the ranking of candidates, Mr Asenjo was bumped down and no longer made the cut."
The Detransition Rate Is Unknown - "The percentage of people who discontinue, detransition, and/or regret is not known, outside of some very narrowly defined study populations (Dhejne et al., 2014). Although this fact is known to some (Irwig, 2022; Levine et al., 2022), low regret or detransition percentages are frequently quoted. Examples from the medical research literature include: “rare case of detransition,” “only 0.6% of transgender women and 0.3% of transgender men who underwent gonadectomy experienced regret” (Rosenthal, 2021, p. 586), “Post-GAC regret is rare, occurring in approximately 0.3% of individuals” (McNamara et al., 2022, p. 252), and in medical publications: “Gallagher said she follows the WPATH standards, which require mental health evaluations, and as a result, ‘the risk of regret is incredibly low’” (Ault, 2022). These claims also make their way into the press: “the rate of regret is very low,” “the very small group of people who detransition” (Bazelon, 2022), “regret rates between 0.3 and 0.6 percent” (Turban, 2022), “very rare” (Connell-Bryan et al., 2022), and official statements (USPATH Board & WPATH Executive Committee, 2022): “Transition reversal […] is rare.” Knowledge of accurate rates are essential for evaluating how well the protocols for commencing medical intervention identify those who are unlikely to benefit, as well as for those considering medical intervention to weigh as risk: regret is an adverse outcome, as is detransition for some (e.g., D’Angelo, 2018; Vandenbussche, 2022). The extremely low rates are based on studies with flaws which compromise the reliability of their reported rates, or refer to a population with very different characteristics from the large numbers of young people contemplating or undergoing medical intervention today. Specifically, outcomes should not be measured too early (Abramowitz, 1986; De Cuypere et al., 2006), loss to follow-up should be small (D’Angelo, 2018; Gijs & Brewaeys, 2007; Horváth, 2018; Sutcliffe et al., 2009), and measures and definitions (Gijs & Brewaeys, 2007; Sutcliffe et al., 2009) of regret or detransition should be appropriate. In addition, the reported rates should correspond to a sample which is not biased or otherwise non-representative or irrelevant for the case of interest (D’Angelo et al., 2021; Gijs & Brewaeys, 2007). These are common and longstanding concerns for studies of medical intervention for gender dysphoria (Abramowitz, 1986; Carroll, 1999). For gender surgery in particular, Carroll (1999) identified 12 outcome study limitations over 20 years ago, most of which fall within the four requirements above (the lack of control groups and randomized treatment groups which he flags might be argued to limit the utility of these rates for determining appropriate treatment, rather than limiting the measurement of the rates themselves)."
Weird. We keep being told the trans regret rate is under 1% based on that trans survey that targeted trans people
