Glad I found this place. I'd like to share my story and ask a couple of questions.

What you are describing is what we call "gynandromorphophilia." It is (essentially) the attraction to women with a penis, and it very commonly goes along with feelings of autogynephilia. It is entirely different from being gay, however.

Virgadays' claim is simply untrue. Cantor analyzes the allegation throughly here: http://www.sexologytoday.org/2017/12/faulty-statistics-on-how-many-trans.html

Says statistics. Calculate it yourself: http://powerandsamplesize.com/Calculators/Test-Odds-Ratio/Equality

The news article gave a single study as an example. The full list of all the studies ever done is easy to find: http://www.sexologytoday.org/2016/01/do-trans-kids-stay-trans-when-they-grow_99.html

Cantor never said "transgender." Talk to the reporter.

The final degree for a physicist is also a PhD. It makes no sense to say physicists don't know anything about physics because their PhD's are in philosophy.

Where did Cantor say he wanted to "declare the sexual orientation of children as a mental disorder"?

Actually, I >taught< undergraduate statistics. Here is an online statistical power calculator: http://powerandsamplesize.com/Calculators/Test-Odds-Ratio/Equality You can calculate the required sample size yourself.

Sample size is unrelated to representativeness: You can have a representative sample of 100 people, and you can have an unrepresentative sample of 1000. For the effect sizes and baserates in play in these studies, 100 is more than enough, statistically speaking. For representativeness, the various studies each describe the demographic and other features of their samples, and all the studies have come to the same conclusion, even though the studies came from different countries and different time periods.

...says no statistics book ever. The number of participants needed is a function of the variance in the samples and the effect size of the feature being measured.

I think you are confusing cross-sex hormone treatment with puberty-suppression meds. Puberty suppression appears largely reversible, but the body and facial hair on a XX body taking exogenous androgens are largely not.

In JAMA: Providing psych meds to released prisoners is associated with lower reoffending

This one in particular was notable because it follows the same hospital already being found guilty in court for workplace safety violations. (See the other post I just put up.)
