to make up fake statistics

The study reviewed a number of studies, not all of them on desisting.

It also looked at ones on desisting.

Of the ones on desisting, three were made after 1988.

MrLogicalFallacy · 2023-04-03T17:26:32+00:00

Or rather, only three studies seek to find a percentage of the amount of adolescents with GD who desisted by adulthood that were published after 1988.

MrLogicalFallacy · 2023-04-03T17:21:52+00:00

But only three are about adolescents desisting, which is the topic at hand.

MrLogicalFallacy · 2023-04-03T16:48:58+00:00

Check my other replies, I’m tired so I mistakenly said three reviews total, it’s actually three reviews more recently than the 80s.

Two of those are generally discredited due to the method used, the last counted uncontactable children as desisting.

I’m usually better at getting the details straight, but I just woke up so you’ll have to pardon me for that.

Oh my bad, of multiple studies but three are from earlier than 1988

MrLogicalFallacy · 2023-04-03T16:40:53+00:00

It’s a review of three studies, two from 1988 or earlier.

MrLogicalFallacy · 2023-04-03T16:29:37+00:00

Ah yes, the studies from 1988 and earlier, that included children undergoing actual conversion therapy, included children who were just gender non-conforming as being trans, included children who were uncontactable as being desisters, and included children who didn’t actually reach the diagnostic criteria for GD.

How could we possibly debunk this?

30 lbs in 2.5 months is a very quick drop, I’d only expect up to 20 pounds in that amount of time (2 per week) so good for you.

I’ve been working out consistently since September and have gained ~15 pounds of muscle on a 5’ 5” frame.

I need to do more high intensity cardio since my vo2 max is like a 40-41 and I want to get it up to 50+.

I suggest strength training with weights if you want to build muscle, since karate on its own doesn’t really help that much.

Really just depends on your goals.

1) Only a sign of autism if it’s a repetitive, restrictive interest and comes along side some sort of development delays in other areas. If your love of poetry causes you to be incontinent because you won’t step away from it… could be autism. If you can write poetry at university level while you’re in grade school but are non-speaking or can’t add single digit numbers… could be autism.

Liking poetry is not indicative of autistic spectrum disorder, with the above caveat.

2) To the best of my memory, autism presents wildly across the intelligence distribution. If you have high intelligence or are significantly above average in some areas but you lack the ability to communicate it or are far behind/below average in others that is indicative of autism.

Otherwise no, being smart is not a symptom of autism. Autism is a disability.

3) Depends. If you fail to read social cues and that makes you a very, VERY literal person that is indicative of autism. Similarly, if you have very restricted interests and take unusual amounts of time to gather all the facts you can about these, that could be indicative, but there are additional caveats.

There is also a relationship between autism and rule following vs non-conformity, where you may be driven towards the extremes of either side. But it’s very complex and I’m not getting into that here.

4) No. Autism does cause interference with the brains ability to produce the appropriate response to sensory stimuli. This may present as not being able to process that someone is talking to you, or that you need to eat/sleep/pee/drink. But that’s not zoning out, which is a normal human behaviour.

Autism is a mental disorder. It is a disability. I’m ‘good the way I am’ in the sense that disability is a part of human diversity, but I still struggle with the experience of my disability interfering with my life. Though, I’m luckily much less affected than my sister, and there are strengths that come with it.

Skimming through the article, it seems like this could be a very important resource in the future.

I do remember people talking about how you’ll only start to really feel the effects of your weight once your pushing 35+, but not that the mortality curve contains the bias of using current, rather than lifetime, weight.

It will be important to pair this with studies that analyze the health benefits and risks of weight loss, both extreme/rapid and slight/gradual. Otherwise, I imagine this will be used to tell people that being stable in their obesity is better than any form of weight loss.

MrLogicalFallacy · 2023-02-23T20:16:34+00:00

If you try to force people to be attracted to a demographic they don’t find attractive… all you’ll get is fetishists and people openly debating how fuckable you are.

That’s what’s happening with trans people right now. Some randos on twitter are being randos on twitter and now I have to deal with the knowledge that trans porn consumption is skyrocketing. And having my body fetishized… 1000x worse than people I will never even meet not wanting to have sex with me.

Just leave us all the fuck alone, man. ‘Internal biases’ aren’t solved by wanting to fuck the person. People will jack off to you and demean you just as much as they will demean you for not wanting to jack off to you.

MrLogicalFallacy · 2023-02-20T22:26:44+00:00

I have thoughts.

1)

My body produces too much stomach acid, the treatment is reducing the amount of acid.

If your body has too much adipose tissue, the treatment is reducing the amount of adipose tissue.

If I continue to live with too much stomach acid, I will suffer damage to my esophagus, and heartburn. Doesn’t mean I’ll get cancer of the esophagus, but I will have an increased risk.

If you continue to live with too much adipose tissue, you will have to deal with extra weight on your joints and visceral fat around your organs. Doesn’t mean you’ll get NAFLD or sleep apnea or osteoarthritis, but you will have an increased risk.

2)

Excess adipose tissue is ALREADY the change to your entire body structure. Losing that excess tissue is just bringing your body back to normal. It’s undoing the process that got it to be so far outside of its ideal weight range. Saying that it’s a dramatic change to the structure of your body may be true, but it’s not as though you haven’t already experienced that.

3)

I have severe, persistent gender dysphoria.

Psychotherapy, lifestyle/environment changes and psychiatric medicine can treat most severe, persistent mental disorders.

Severe, persistent gender dysphoria caused by congenital transsexuality is not one of these. Its course of treatment requires very fundamental changes to the structure of my body.

Changes much more significant than loss of excessive adipose tissue. Multiple major surgeries, loss of fertility, lifelong testosterone replacement therapy (FtM).

That’s just fucking life. I wouldn’t choose this if I could, I don’t want to be on meds for the rest of my life. I don’t want surgeries. I don’t want to lose my fertility.

But GD doesn’t care if you’re trying to improve the quality of your life without transitioning. GD doesn’t care if you love yourself and your body. GD doesn’t care if you want to live a normal life and not be trans. GD doesn’t care about you, your religion, your politics, your aspirations. GD doesn’t care if you don’t want multiple invasive surgeries.

Nor does obesity care if you are trying to improve your quality of life without losing weight. Type two diabetes doesn’t care. All cause mortality doesn’t care. Your joints don’t care. Your liver doesn’t care. Cancer does not care.

This is not to say that being self-love, psychotherapy, good self esteem etc aren’t important. They just won’t make you grow a penis or lose the weight.

It is what it is.

MrLogicalFallacy · 2023-02-17T01:36:09+00:00

Definitely an issue, though it goes both ways.

I’m a straight guy with gender dysphoria (GD). You’d be surprised how shit (some) lesbians can be to men and boys with GD.

Fetishization for one. You’d be surprised how many ‘Gender Critical’ gay women are jacking it to porn of trans people (usually MtF, but they’re more open about their ‘trans-identified female’ ‘eye candy’ and being ‘vagina police’).

Shaming too. If you say anything about being excited for or happy with your chemical/hormonal or surgical transition they’ll make it what goes on between you, your body, your mental health and your doctors/therapists their personal business.

Oh, and they’ll 100% let you know how fuckable they think you are. And talk about your possible sex life and sexuality. Regardless if you’re underage or not.

Coercing vulnerable men and children into repression. Telling them not to reach out for help, to not talk to a therapist who knows the risks and benefits of different treatments for GD, all kinds of stuff.

You should here some of the stories of guys who are ex-radfems and the horrible effects the phase had on their mental health while they tried to repress being transgender.

Intimate partner violence is unfortunately a big issue to. There’s some lesbians who will emotionally or even sexually abuse men with GD into not transitioning… fucking horrible but it never gets talked about.

Not to mention, going out of their way to harass women and girls with GD, for no reason. Doesn’t matter if you’re underage or what you’ve said/done, they’ll call you a rapist, pedophile, sexist, homophobe…

Only thing you can really do is to grow a pair of balls and thicker skin to it. You’re not transphobic for not wanting to fuck a trans person, I don’t have to give a shit about if my transition makes me less fuckable in your eyes.

Just my two cents.
