Stats For Gender

A large sample of Finnish adolescents found that trans identities were more strongly associated with perpetrating bullying than being bullied. Youth identifying as non-binary reported the highest rates of both bullying others and being bullied statsforgender.org/trans-identiti…

In a study of 68 women taking testosterone 94.1% had some form of pelvic floor dysfunction Pelvic floor dysfunction (any type): 94.1% Urinary symptoms: 86.7% Storage symptoms: 69.1% Sexual dysfunction: 52.9% Anorectal symptoms: 45.6% statsforgender.org/94-of-females-…

Fertility preservation creates an iatrogenic tension between protecting future fertility & imposing immediate psychological burden Dysphoric youth report fertility preservation is psychologically distressing, physically invasive, or emotionally intolerable statsforgender.org/fertility-pres…

Sweden: gender dysphoria diagnoses in girls aged 13–17 increased by approx 1500% (15-fold) between 2008-2018 Children & families not appropriately informed of the impact of medication on fertility. Only 4 children were referred to a fertility specialist statsforgender.org/title-in-swede…

Zepf et al Beyond NICE systematic review (2024,) which evaluated newer studies published after the NICE reviews, also concluded the evidence base remains methodologically weak & insufficient to support reliable conclusions regarding benefits in minors with gender dysphoria ⬆️

Multiple reviews inc; HHS evidence review Miroshnychenko et al NICE Beyond Nice consistently identify poor evidence, methodological weaknesses, limited follow-up, & substantial uncertainty regarding the effects of puberty blockers & cross-sex hormones in minors with dysphoria ⬇️

Multiple systematic reviews carried out on the impact of puberty blockers, or cross-sex hormone treatments for minors clearly demonstrate the medical transition of children has no evidence base statsforgender.org/systematic-rev… ⬇️

Puberty blockers impair genital/body development & may complicate later surgical outcomes Puberty suppression can limit surgical options – by making standard penile inversion vaginoplasty impossible, and increase the complexity of later genital surgeries statsforgender.org/puberty-blocke…

Puberty blockers disrupt the normal timing of puberty relative to same-age peers, with associated psychosocial effects statsforgender.org/puberty-blocke…

@UNSRVAW In this study, 1 in 6 young people treated with cross sex hormones ceased treatment 37.3% did so for health reasons 32% ended treatment due to a change in gender identity 12% were persuaded by others to explore different ways of approaching their dysphoria statsforgender.org/around-one-in-…

“Upon detransitioning, despite navigating complex post-transition medical sequelae and grief, some participants reported profound relief. Within this cohort, transition appeared to be at least partially an attempt to decrease preexisting psychosocial distress. These findings support the critical necessity of comprehensive psychiatric evaluations to establish a thorough developmental timeline of adolescent distress and comorbid conditions—prior to medical interventions. The findings highlight the clinical risks of diagnostic overshadowing”.

A survey of breast binding transmen found that 68% were concerned about the health effects. The most common symptoms associated with binding were back pain (65%), shortness of breath (48.6%), bad posture (32%), chest pain (30%), and light-headedness (30%) statsforgender.org/in-one-survey-…

A survey of 1800 females who used breast binders reported a number of negative health effects which develop over time. Some of these effects are felt immediately. However, in other cases, it can take years for the negative health effects to be fully seen statsforgender.org/there-are-27-d…

Rates of autism much higher in trans-identified people. In an analysis of five large datasets, “transgender and gender diverse” individuals were 3.03 to 6.36 times more likely to be autistic than those who do not claim an alternative gender identity. ⬆️ statsforgender.org/rates-of-autis…

Autistic traits more common in trans-identified girls than trans-identified boys A study of Australian children with trans identities found 74.5% of the autistic group were female, compared to 64% of the non-autistic group. Females were a significant majority of both groups ⬇️

The corresponding rise in the number of gender clinics offering paediatric medical transition is also startling It’s all very “build it and they’ll come”

If you check out the “Demographics” section on statsforgender.org you will see the remarkable rise in children and adolescents attending gender clinics

Medical records of 10,270 trans-identified patients found 58% had at least 1 psychiatric diagnosis. This compares to just 13.6% of patients without trans identities. Trans-identified patients showed greater prevalence of every psychiatric condition queried statsforgender.org/trans-identifi…
