Removed Comment I like doctors who take decisions on my well being to have good research and experience in the topic to give me good advice. Even when the advice is: don't take the medicine even though you'll feel bad for a while. I don't think it is patronising to try and understand kids and advice them for their well being. Changing sex is not one of those little mistakes I'd like my children to make. If they want to do that I definitely don't want that to be a mistake, and I do want the therapist following them in the process to have evidence backed research to actually aid them in the process. by ranzispa@mander.xyz

Removed Comment I also forgot to mention Littmans more recent research on adolescent girls(biological) being trans boys. She investigates the possibility that some are following trends and social conformity. This has also been controversial in the trans community because some see it as trying to prove that adolescents are confused about their gender identity and don't deserve to have any autonomy over medical decisions like hormone treatments. Now, as I said before. I believe that people have full autonomy over their own bodies. 100%. However, I don't extend this to children. I think children don't understand the risks associated with hormone therapy. And I , who was once a teenager myself, agree that many teenagers are prone to following fads and trends of their peers. I don't see how anyone can deny that happens at a high rate in children and teenagers. I also don't deny that a teenager is capable of knowing themselves. They can. They do. But it's a time of development. It's a time of exploring oneself and Identity. It's not the right time to make permanent, life long, risky decisions, that someone who has only been alive for 15 years can actually understand what that means. We don't let teenagers get plastic surgery, tattoos, buy alcohol, or even lottery tickets. Because we understand that they can't evaluate risks yet. Are there (hormone injection) exceptions to be made for some teens. Absolutely. Littmans research aims to discover which trans teens will continue being trans and which will flip back to their biological based gender. That way the kids who will benefit from hormones get the hormone intervention and those that it will harm, get supportive therapy instead. It helps reduce the risk of kids taking hormone injections and permanently disrupting their sexual development because for 6 months they thought maybe they wanted to be in a different body. I honestly would think the trans community would support this type of research because it's going to help reduce the risk of regret transitioners. But as with all research on trans, it is often weaponized against the community. So their concern is valid on that front. But if we ignore this type of research or try to stop it; What could happen is we get people who start suing medical doctors and maybe have bad relationships with their parents. Because as a teen who was exploring their identity, the adults in their life quickly suggested hormones and allowed that to start when it shouldn't have. "I really wish my parents didn't let me take hormones when I was 15 and depressed, and thought transitioning would fix all my problems. Now I'm sterile and don't have the body I should have had". -these stories are going to be way more damaging to trans rights and more specifically, adolescents trying to take hormones that do need them. There already are such people on social media. And the number will grow if we don't find better ways to evaluate kids. We have to find ways to determine which kids feel this way consistently and long term. And those following trends. Especially young girls turning to trans guys. Because many young women see how women are devalued in our society and don't want to be on the oppressed side. Lots of things may influence teenagers. We need research to better help them by daannii

Removed Comment So Littman and Bailey are controversial. Not unethical. (Fyi Lisa Littman is herself a trans woman). They do research on a specific sub group of trans women. Bailey has done lots of other research on sexuality in the homosexual and bisexual area as well. Bailey and Littmans findings make the trans community angry because the research supports that for some trans females, (not all but some) they transition due to a sexual kink. That they can only be sexually excited by being a woman. He never said it's true for all female trans people. But his evidence is real. And it's not really surprising because there are people who cut off body parts because of sexual kinks. There are people out there who get fixated on things and are obsessed. Sexual fixation is an incredibly strong motivator. Many in the trans community don't like this research because it paints a picture that they are all just a bunch of perverts. Which is something that they already have to fight against. So many see it as smearing trans people or encouraging stereotypes. And. Of course conservatives will absolutely use these types of studies to support their opinions on trans people. Weaponize it against them. But I want to point out some things. 1. Unpleasant truths don't make them false. 2. The concern of these types of studies being used as weapons is valid. But. Conservatives will use anything to validate their opinions. Regardless if it does or doesn't. (Scientist still have a responsibility to report their research in a way to deter it being used to harm groups). Baily says in every single one of the papers he is in, that the most effective way to treat gender dysphoria is to help the person transition to their preferred gender. He says this many times. He says it publicly. He advocates for it. His intention is not to harm trans people but to understand them. Does he go about it in the most sensitive way. No. But intention does count. Now bailey was also known for doing research on bisexual men. His controversial study found that self reported bisexual men actually showed a preference for men and weren't pure bisexual. His conclusion was that bisexuality in men was likely just homosexuality. This was met with a lot of backlash. He met with people, heard concerns. And re evaluated his study methods and has since done additional studies and showed his original was flawed. (Mostly caused by the fact that men that are bisexual but prefer women more, are more likely to be closeted bisexuals and not volunteers in his studies). Now I have personally met the guy. He taught statistics. I also attended a seminar on his work. I never took his sexually courses. But I had heard of his work before attending the uni he was at. I've actually read the papers. I think most people who don't like his work, have not. Or they are mis understanding statements. Now his person is a different story and there is plenty to criticize in his past conduct. He never makes negative statements about trans. And the last paper I read, was by one of his grad students who was herself, a trans woman. Transvestite culture has been around for a very long time. Trying to pretend it's not real because you don't like the narrative is not the way forward. Do I like bailys personality? Not particularly. I think he's one of those people who like to challenge things , sometimes just to see other people squirm. A bit pretentious . But I can't deny his research has merit to it. That's why it keeps getting published. The methodology and statistics are sound science. As a last point. I don't care if the reason that people want to transition is because it's a sex thing. To me that does not change anything. Adults have a right to full autonomy over their own body. They are the only ones who get to decide such things like their gender. It's not up to me to decide if their reasons are valid or not. I also couldn't care less what weird kinks other people have. As long as it's consenting adults, it's none of my business. That said, I realize though that my easy acceptance of people transitioning for whatever reason won't be shared by the general public. But I still say though that the people who will have a problem with it, currently have a problem with transitioning, even if the narrative is "I was born in the wrong body". Even that won't satisfy them as a good enough reason. So no point in pandering to them. I do wish someone with more class and sensitivity was doing this line of research and not Bailey. But it is what it is. by daannii

Removed Comment Evidence gathered from scientific research studies of reports from individuals. As for your other questions. These are addressed in the paper. This paper is from 2007, which means its 20 years old and means a lot of additional research has since been done. Some times terminology changes in science and I should add that a lot of researchers coin their own terms for things. so that can make it tricky when reviewing literature. but in studies, the terms are always defined. so those definitions will be in this paper. https://share.google/G3ZWsS7Y3TPh9p9k9 So I also would suggest looking at this link which shows papers that have cited this 2007 paper to see what other researchers have said about the topic and what bailey or his grad students have added to it. There are 55 of these. some more relevant than others to the topic than others. https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cites=15898950914960057097&as_sdt=400005&sciodt=0%2C14&hl=en by daannii

Removed Comment Well it's beyond current scientific understanding so there wouldn't be a source. How could you ask for a source on something that is undefined like autism? I hope you realize that anyone who tries to make scientific claims on the basis of autism is lying to you. This is because autism is not understood scientifically. Those people are trying to steal the valor of actual science to use as some authority to convince people dumber then themselves that they are correct. But yes vaccines do cause autism in some cases. The reason I know this is because I am a researcher and I study many things and I have spent many years investigating these things and I don't get any money from the corporate or pharmacological world. The people who make vaccines including the scientists also know this but won't say it because they don't want to lose their six or seven figure incomes. They see the side effects of vaccines as acceptable given their benefits. Maybe 1 out of 100 to 1 out of 1000 people who use vaccines might develop complications but it will probably save more than 1% of the population. Autism is also caused by a wide range of things. Anything that disrupts the immune system or its signals can cause it. Being inside buildings exposed to synthetic materials too often can cause it. Taking antiinflammatory medications can cause it. Your mother having too many sexual partners can cause it. Donald Trump's speech causes it. Eating too much artificially flavored food that has no nutrition can cause it. The biggest cause however is by far parental neglect. Buying shitty food, leaving kids inside all day, not having good ventilation in the interior spaces. If it turns out that vaccines cause autism at a fairly high rate, then it might turn out that the pragmatist ethics behind covering up vaccine side effects were a terrible idea. Autism I believe, I'm not 100%, is often caused by a destruction of the bodies ability to regulate its own epibiome and immune responses. This leads to reduced neural function, particularly in high functioning areas of the brain, which causes the symptoms associated with autism. You will never really see an autistic wild dog because it lives in nature and it's body is good at upregulating and down regulating it's immune response and dealing with inflammation. Many humans have lost this ability and can easily die from minor wounds like scraps. Autism like many other gigantic blanket terms used for things barely understood by humans, like the brain, can be caused by a very wide number of things. Fundamentally however it's just the epigenetic equivalent of limp mode. I have managed to cure a case or two of autism in my time through many years of therapy designed to fix the immune systems of people. It takes years because after fixing the immune system it takes years for the brain's proteins to be replaced. Vaccines are probably pretty low on the list of what actually causes autism. The most consistent effects I have found are scizo effective disorder. People who horde stuff, never let their kids outside, obsessively takenmedication and believe that medicine is like God or something. In cases where I find people with autism is almost always the parents fault. They have bad hygiene, use lots of pesticides and chemicals around children, have mold in their house cuz of the schizo typical symptoms like paranoia and stuff, and helicopter parent their kids even into their 20s and 30s. These kids also typically never had any variation or resitence to their body. It's never had to adapt or change really. They never went a day without a meal for example. Things like this are actually bad for your immune system because it doesn't get to learn how to deal with different circumstances. Anyways I doubt you will consider any of this, but I did my part by attempting to make people aware. by DarkAri@lemmy.blahaj.zone
