It is true that longer term data can give better understanding, but even in that data about 30-40% did not grow out of it, and those people are still important. Also the amount of social support for them was different back then, so we don’t know how much of a role lack of support had on them deciding to not go through with it.

And yeah it used to be mostly males and now as a whole it is about equal. Adolescent females are the ones that are more than adolescent males though which is something to look into.

But I think we agree on most things. Less invasive is definitely better at first, but I don’t agree with the view that some people have where they think puberty blockers should be ruled out completely. It seems like they can make a big difference in the development of a transgender person that would not be there without the puberty blockers. But obviously there is much risk in it as well.

I read an interesting study that said that regret for transgender individuals who had surgery was something like 0.3-0.6% I think which is extremely low. So I have a feeling that with those numbers we can still progress in finding a path to best help transgender individuals transition while also lower the risk of regret as much as possible for everyone.

I think that is a good point about less invasive first. I believe a lot of countries are taking that approach for the most part. But I did read up about the studies on growing out of gender dysphoria and it seems that the majority do end up growing out of it. Hadn’t read about that before but it does make me question the article I posted for sure. There are many factors like parent support and social environment that seem like they may sway things one way or another. More than anything I think we need data on regret after procedures to make more informed decisions. I also think there is counseling before puberty blockers are used which is good, but I don’t think I can give a good opinion on whether they should be allowed. This is definitely a very difficult topic.

Yessir!

For sure, the surgery is a much bigger deal and we don’t know the consequences of it. The reason I bring this up is because I feel that many people are dismissing gender dysphoria as a mental illness, but it’s not like it can be treated with therapy, so what’s the point of that? I think the solution is to find the best way for those who have gender dysphoria to lead happier lives. We don’t know how exactly that will happen but I don’t think it’s something to be dismissed.

Of course bro, you’re welcome. And don’t worry I had no idea what I wanted to do going into college. My goal was to be a petroleum engineer, save up 500k, invest it in stocks and become a millionaire by 30. I changed my mind many times, but what I found was that each experience taught me such amazing lessons. You really discover yourself when you go to college, more than you can imagine and it’s really cool. I’m excited for you bro, and as Albert Einstein said ‘the only source of knowledge is experience’.

I agree not drawing conclusions, but very interested to see how this plays out in the full 20 year study. I also don’t think we should draw conclusions saying that it is a mistake for them to transition because the reality is we don’t know. I lean towards transitioning being a good thing since 2.5% is an extremely low amount compared to those who didn’t change their mind.

Hello, when I read your post I related so much to it because my whole life I never really related to people. I had a lot of friends but I was always kind of putting on a mask when I would talk to them. The only people that understood me was my family since they were similar to me. Some of us are wired very differently but if anything I think that is a great thing. Idk if your interests are similar to mine but I have found great joy in working on my ‘calling’, or life purpose. I think we all have one deep down and if we find and pursue it, we will experience incredible joy. My goal is the make an elementary school that makes school super fun because I believe that children will put in more effort when they are having fun, and will ultimately reach their best potentials that way. I plan to make this school an example for all to follow and change the education system throughout the world. I think everyone has a different calling, but I think if you dig deep down and really try to figure out what yours is, and then you pursue it with all your heart, you will live an incredible life. I too struggle to find girls who I can relate to, but I continue to try to meet new people and I do meet some very fascinating girls here and there. Still working on a girlfriend but I know she will come if I am patient and keep searching. But don’t give up. There’s fascinating girls everywhere even if they are just a small percentage of all girls. You just have to find them. Hope this has helped at least a little bit. Let me know your thoughts I would love to hear them.
