The conclusion of the paper that you've misunderstood and are misrepresenting:
"This is the first study in which associations between access to pubertal suppression and suicidality are examined. There is a significant inverse association between treatment with pubertal suppression during adolescence and lifetime suicidal ideation among transgender adults who ever wanted this treatment. These results align with past literature, suggesting that pubertal suppression for transgender adolescents who want this treatment is associated with favorable mental health outcomes."
- engineer_22 4y agoI did not misunderstand the conclusion of the paper. The paper was cited because it has data about objective reports of well being. The parent cited a report that claims 98% of people are "happy" after receiving hormonal treatment. I thought it was an interesting claim, and someone might have a reason to be very encouraged by that. Another paper that I cited has data that shows that large percentages of people who have had hormonal treatment are experiencing psychological suffering. It also shows that large percentages of people who have NOT had hormonal treatment are experiencing psychological suffering. I'm not making any conclusions. I'm just bringing some data.
