That's really cool.
That you can read, that is. Sorry, I should've clarified. It's cool that you can read. I was starting to have doubts, after you failed to identify what part of My Shadow Is Purple equates to self-harm. You know, a children's book that you seem to have been incapable of reading? That one. The one where I linked you to a video of the book being read aloud (just in case you couldn't read), and you still didn't provide an answer to. Remember that? I remember.
Anyway. Now here's a peer-reviewed study on the efficacy of gender-affirming healthcare:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9341318/
Note from me, "SI" refers to "Suicidal Ideation" and "SA" refers to "Suicide Attempt". Figured I should explain this, since I know with 100% certainty that you won't bother to read the paper, just like you didn't read My Shadow Is Purple.
Or, here's another study specifically about puberty blockers:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7073269/
Fuck off with your bad faith arguments, bud. Seriously. You're just straight-up objectively wrong in your beliefs, which are founded on misinformation and hate, and I will prove it to you every. single. fucking. time. if you allow me the opportunity.
Since you didn't read My Shadow Is Purple, here's a quote from a book you're probably more familiar with, judging from your deep-rooted hate:
Heres what we do for suicidal patients: we give them therapy and medication. So why is blocking puberty an exception? Because leftism is a cult?
And my beliefs come from peer reviewed studies. Sorry you're so anti-science, maybe you should rejoin the anti-vaxxers?
What the flying fuck do you think puberty blockers are, you absolute necrosed gonad?
The wrong medication, they block puberty. You want depression pills, SSRIs and the like.
Puberty blocking is a form of therapy. Puberty blockers are a form of medication.
Gender dysphoria isn't depression (look up "comorbidity"; it's a big word, so I'll give you some time), you wouldn't treat it with antidepressants. That's like taking an antacid for a headache.
"My beliefs come from peer reviewed studies" is such obvious horse shit. You didn't read the studies I linked you to, clearly.
This conversation is done until you can prove to me that you've read and understood the studies provided to you. Since, y'know, that's what your beliefs are supposedly based on. You can prove me wrong whenever.
Suicide comes from depression (or severe psychosis and a few others, but that's getting on a tangent)
You don't treat SI with changing the body. You fix the mind (or at least the hormones)
Again, puberty blockers are not treating depression. They're treating gender dysphoria in this example. I can tell you still don't know what "comorbidity" means.
In your expert medical opinion, how do you think gender dysphoria is treated? Here's a hint: It's described in the articles you still haven't read.
Homie out here thinking they're cooking.
