@timwestern774 @sappholives83 Her source is her own body. She IS the citation.

@RebeccaReal6 @sappholives83 I'm saying she needs to cite her sources. That's how facts can be engaged in civil discourse.

This girl was 13 when they cut her breasts off. 13. Let that sink in. A 13 year old girl said “I think I’m a boy,” -and they cut her breasts off.- Then they mutilated her further with testosterone, altering her voice, her face, and her body.

@nyaraVT This is why REAL women are DONE with trans women. WE. DONT. HAVE. TO. PASS. We just are. We are embodied women. We already know most of us don’t meet beauty standards. We grow up knowing that. We don’t have to be beautiful or conform to be women We just ARE women.

The bar for trans women to “pass” is so high, the majority of cis women can’t even reach it. Being invalidated constantly sucks and it hits harder when you’re trans and already struggle with imposter syndrome.. but the cruelty is the point. They want you to give up and die.

@Nonlocal_Lia @TranscendentEva Yes, but that doesn’t mean doctors are beholden to do whatever patients want. You won’t find a doctor to give you chemo if you don’t have cancer, etc. Doctors provide medical treatments within an ethical risk/benefit framework.

@RebeccaReal6 @TranscendentEva people are entitled to bodily autonomy

There's a new biased Finnish study that anti-trans orgs are jumping on, like the Cass Review. It claims gender-affirming care is harmful, BUT it didn't even measure mental health, despite what it says. It measured trips to the doctor. I'm debunking every logical fallacy here.

@AnotherLosr2 @soigomaa For the same reason that people of African descent, dislike black face.

@soigomaa Why do y’all hate trans people this much It’s so abnormal, like they don’t deserve this much scrutiny everyday it’s fucking insane. At most y’all are interacting with a trans person like once a month, there’s no way it warrants all this…

This might be controversial but why can the transgender community safely take high doses of estrogen or testosterone, but a menopausal woman is told no because it causes cancer, heart attacks or stroke?

@timwestern774 @sappholives83 Are you saying you think this girl is lying?

@sappholives83 requires evidence

@daniellismore That’s actually not the correct comparison. The correct comparison is how many women were saved from assault by preventing men in certain private spaces like bathrooms and locker rooms. If having separate spaces protects women from assault, they should continue to be protected.

How Many Women in the UK Have Been Abused by Trans Women in Bathrooms and Vice Versa? Zero! When people ask, “How many people have been assaulted by trans women in women’s bathrooms in the UK?” and “How many trans women have been assaulted in bathrooms?” the honest answer is simple. We do not have any recorded cases of either. Sexual Assault by Trans Women in Women’s Bathrooms The UK has no published data showing sexual assaults in public restrooms committed by trans women. A Freedom of Information request covering sexual assault cases between 2016 and 2021 confirmed that these specific details, such as whether the perpetrator was transgender or whether the incident occurred in a women’s restroom, are not recorded or publicly available in national crime data. Research from the United States, where similar debates regularly occur, has also found no evidence that trans-inclusive bathroom policies increase sexual crimes. Studies examining cities and states that adopted inclusive restroom access policies found no increase in safety incidents after those laws were introduced. Trans Women as Victims in Bathrooms While the public conversation often frames trans women as a threat, the available evidence shows the opposite pattern. Trans women face significant risks when using public bathrooms. Survey data shows that many transgender people report harassment, denial of access and sometimes violence simply for using restrooms that match their identity. Research surveys have found that large numbers of transgender people experience verbal harassment, and a smaller but still serious number report physical assault in or around restroom spaces. Because of this hostility, many transgender people report avoiding public bathrooms altogether, which can lead to health problems such as urinary tract infections and other medical complications. The Reality Behind the Panic Bathrooms have become one of the most emotionally charged battlegrounds in the debate about transgender rights. But when you step away from slogans and look at the available evidence, the picture becomes clear. There are no confirmed cases documented in public data of trans women committing assaults in UK women’s bathrooms. At the same time, transgender people themselves frequently report harassment and abuse simply for existing in public spaces. This does not mean that crime never happens anywhere or that any group of people is incapable of committing wrongdoing. Crime exists across every demographic group. What the data shows, however, is that the narrative surrounding bathrooms is not supported by evidence. If safety is the goal, the conversation should focus on protecting people from harassment and violence, including transgender people who are disproportionately targeted. Public policy should be guided by facts, not fear.

@nyaraVT You don’t see the difference between women finding themselves (as they genuinely are) attractive, and men finding themselves arrousing when they imitate, pretend and imagine themselves as something they are not? And fwiw women finding themselves attractive =/= sexual arrousal

AGP was a theory invented by misogynistic men who think women don’t find themselves attractive when dressing up and only do it to cater to men.

@LGBwiththeT If parents are being told a radical intervention which will leave your child infertile will cure their mental health problems, and then research proves it will not, that is crucially, medically relevant. It is irresponsible and blatantly political to try to dismiss that evidence

What happens when a ‘study’ has a goal in mind

@vectorlari43141 @sappholives83 They are one and the same

@sappholives83 is this against the patriarchy or against trans people because this looks like it could go either way

This. Oh, so much this.

@sappholives83 Unfortunately, part of the kink/paraphilia of TIMs is seeking what they perceive has the humiliation/degradation of womanhood. This is exactly what they want. They get off on the subjugation. And because they don’t have female bodies, they can’t actually know that burden.

@raygretts Specialist psychiatric care (referenced in the study) in Finland is NOT for minor psychiatric care (anxiety, ADHD, etc.). It’s reserved for serious psychological disorders (suicidalality, psychosis, etc).

This study assumes seeking any psychiatric care is due to being trans. Spoiler alert but their can be more reasons to seek care

@sleepy_devo You haven’t read the study, because that’s exactly what they did. There are three groups in the study. #1 do not identify as trans, #2 identify of trans and did not get medical intervention, and #3 identify as trans & medically transition. 2&3 have similar outcomes (poor).

the problem with this study, like other similar studies, is that the control group is c!s people. they're not comparing people with GD who transition with people with GD who don't transition, to see if things actually get worse specifically as a result of transitioning.

@Mycroft_Smart1 @missxlayy @LGBwiththeT Right?! You said: "completely illegal in finland for minors to receive surgery & hrt / blockers are incredibly rare." When, in fact, 1/3 of the study group, over 700 individuals, a LARGE sample set, received medical GR interventions. Cause sounds to me like you were wrong.

@RebeccaReal6 @missxlayy @LGBwiththeT So, 2/3rds didn't.. I was right. Good job.

That Finnish study… the one that everyone’s talking about…

@mynamehear It happened to my son. Want to hear about it?

No transgender person has ever recruited a cisgender kid to become transgender. That's never happened. It's a completely made up talking point. If you believe that, you have a little baby bird brain.

@jejwndidiej @statsforgender Oh, and the research that suggests transition is good for mental health demonstrates causality? Show me that.

@RebeccaReal6 @statsforgender These studies dont demonstrate causality, they have no basis to conclude that

2024 study with >90 million patients Individuals who underwent gender-affirming surgery had a 12.12-fold higher suicide attempt risk than those who didn't Conclusion: Gender-affirming surgery is significantly associated with elevated suicide attempt risk pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38699117/

@Mycroft_Smart1 @missxlayy @LGBwiththeT 796. Just read the study yourself. Finland keeps very detailed and comprehensive records. The study is compelling. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ap…

@RebeccaReal6 @missxlayy @LGBwiththeT And.. show me how many people in the study actually got that care again?

@atalanta44 @statsforgender Um. This study is EVIDENCE that these treatments do not work.

@RebeccaReal6 @statsforgender They say that because the evidence overwhelmingly shows that these treatments work.

@missxlayy @LGBwiththeT Nope. Read the study. These kids were followed into young adulthood, and this was the definition of medical gender reassignment:

@LGBwiththeT yup. completely illegal in finland for minors to receive surgery & hrt / blockers are incredibly rare. these individuals were essentially "go try on some boy clothes & see if that helps, yall come back n see us so we can record how it didnt help you at all!" 😭

@nyaraVT I met one. My son. First began cross dressing during sex with his gf—found it arousing and relaxing. And as his psychiatric issues worsened his desire to “become” a woman increased. It called it a fetish. It was definitely sexual. He began hormones at 20 yo.

The only reason why someone might believe that being trans is a fetish is because.. they never actually met a trans person before and learned about our existence through porn or cis people who consume trans porn.
