@EmzCollett @andybarber654 @Kaida_B_ @snillocehtmai @humanbeing20232 @SpicyMollette @Nifty_cent @VeryMorallyGray @nataliesqrl The sax review agreed with all the other reviews in the quality of evidence but they concluded they didn't care the evidence was weak puberty blockers can still be given to trans kids even if the evidence is poor quality. I and most people think this is insane.

@Atla_G If only there was good evidence that puberty blockers stopped trans kids from killing themselves.

@raptorofwar @TransJusticeUK @magically_amber @GScottSays @esjesjesj You have an article. The article literally talks about placebo as if that's necessary for a rct, it's not. This article is criticising all rcts as these concerns exist with all however this is a minority view in the scientific community.

@raptorofwar @TransJusticeUK @magically_amber @GScottSays @esjesjesj You don't know what a rct is and how the ethics would be done. One is currently being done for puberty blockers.

@raptorofwar @TransJusticeUK @magically_amber @GScottSays @esjesjesj We should do more studies but the drugs should be limited to well controlled studies such as a randomised control trial. These drugs should not be prescribed to trans children as a whole until better research is published.

@raptorofwar @TransJusticeUK @magically_amber @GScottSays @esjesjesj "No conclusions can be drawn about the impact on gender dysphoria, mental and psychosocial health" why would you give someone a drug when there's no proven benefit?

@TransJusticeUK @magically_amber @raptorofwar @GScottSays @esjesjesj There's not typically many lit reviews published on a single topic as they condense all published research on a topic, they're secondary research not primary so it's not necessary to have multiple go over the same studies also you're anti science lol.

@lazerizer @lesboytism Distress and/or impairment is a requirement of pretty much all mental disorders, it's one of the core definitions of a mental disorder.

@lazerizer @lesboytism Yeah hence I specified the symptoms, I'm aware being trans does not inherently mean you have clinically significant distress but these symptoms in the picture are trans

@TransJusticeUK @BearsMom73 @SophieMolly_OFF An a level means nothing lol yeah I'll follow science over your "common sense" any day.

@TransJusticeUK @BearsMom73 @SophieMolly_OFF "No conclusions can be drawn about the impact on gender dysphoria, mental and psychosocial health" considering there are no proven benefits there would be only side effects and risks but you don't care because you're anti science.

@TransJusticeUK @BearsMom73 @SophieMolly_OFF Sure deffo a bot for future reference all medications obviously need to be proven safe and effective...

@TransJusticeUK @BearsMom73 @SophieMolly_OFF Oh right because medications don't need science 😭😭 it's pointless talking to someone like you the arrogance is mind numbing.

@TransJusticeUK @BearsMom73 @SophieMolly_OFF Yeah those credentials don't give you the ability to read research, sadly a lot of people think they can read and understand science when they really can't... I've cited a literature review not the cass report there's no need for you to try and straw man, you don't accept science

@CarcelaEnjoyer @CassieDebus @FuckUblm_antifa @MiDiamondDave @GovTimWalz Yes it does debunk what you said I mean unless you're anti science? If you knew literally the basics of research methods you'd understand what a lit review is and how it debunks your claims. Can you explain what those proposed solutions are with citations.

@TransJusticeUK @BearsMom73 @SophieMolly_OFF Yeah it is, it's literally a literature review lol. It does make me laugh how strong people's opinions are when they're so obviously uneducated on a topic. Like are you self aware you must realise you don't have the education to understand research generally.

@lesboytism @lazerizer The symptoms of gender dysphoria are being trans I don't get what you mean by your trans identify didn't cause the mental anguish but the gender dysphoria did when they're more or less the same thing.

@CarcelaEnjoyer @CassieDebus @FuckUblm_antifa @MiDiamondDave @GovTimWalz I have literature reviews (the highest quality evidence), literature reviews are the empirical evidence on a topic as they synthesize all the research into one paper. Btw the study you cited was rated as low quality in the most recent lit review.

@CarcelaEnjoyer @CassieDebus @FuckUblm_antifa @MiDiamondDave @GovTimWalz You think one individual study which is a survey (the lowest quality study) is considered empirical evidence? I can't fault you for not being knowledgeable on the topic but you either need to educate yourself or stop having an opinion.

@CarcelaEnjoyer @CassieDebus @FuckUblm_antifa @MiDiamondDave @GovTimWalz What empirical evidence supports the use of puberty blockers in children? You're either being dishonest or you've not read the literature on puberty blockers.
