I think my last post covered the 'hyperbolic' 'sterilisation' aspect. But you are right, I just did the males. I am happy to find the Scandanavian fertility doctor who is now raising the alarm about the number of females who are coming to the clinic after detransitioning to work out why they cannot conceive. Seems no one told them that taking testosterone may do that.
Or anyone who knows as many trans people as you declare you know would also understand how female reproductive organs tend to atrophy with testosterone treatment. I mean, that is quite well documented. I am surprised you don't know about it.
And only a small number will detransition?
Do you have any numbers for this? Any at all? Because the NHS was unable to produce anything. Just saying 'only a "very" small number will detransition is actually saying, I am going to repeat trope from groups heavily invested in making sure that detransitioners are never counted.
How weird you have also been very vocal on a thread discussing 'accountability'! Surely any group wanting the very best standard of care for patients in such distress would want to be able to have full accountability that the treatments are working?
How many detransitioners are an acceptable level of 'collateral' to ensure others get the treatment they want?
Here we go, this one from one GP surgery who decided to do it's own audit in 2020 on the quality of care that their patients were receiving :
www.mdpi.com/2227-9032/10/1/121/htm
-the rate of detransition amongst those who had received at least hormones was 9.8%
-the number of patients with underlying mental health issues. And how they are being completely let down by affirming only treatment.
-The number of visits before receiving hormones was 2.7 appointments.
-67 patients average age 27.8 years -range was 12- 54
-42 females, 22 males, four NB (3 f / 1 m)
-Female mean age is 18 years, male 23 years.
-Out of the 67, only 9 (13%) had NO mental health diagnosis. 10 (15%) had diagnosed ASD, 4 with ADHD (6%), 3 (4%) with OCD, 1 with Bipolar, 7 (10%) with a Personality Disorder. 13 (19%) had documented childhood abuse, neglect or violence.
2.7 appointments? Is this considered to be the very best that we can do?
However, that 9.8% rate actually reflects the rates from this study. And this study was not about detransitioning and is actually about measuring success. So again, not a 'biased' study but one that inadvertantly has some numbers that seem to have not been mentioned by anyone that I can see.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5580378/
135 natal males (119 living in the female role, 12 in the male role, 4 did not report their current gender role) and 66 natal females (60 living in the male role, 5 in the female role, 1 did not report a current gender role)
So... 8.88% of males and 8.33% of the females (this does not include those who did not answer the question which if the answer was to detransition would make these figures higher). And in Figure 3. 22.2% of those who socially transitioned, detransitioned.
Both of this studies will not reflect the 'bulge' of patients who have been mostly young female patients who have registered at gender clinics from around 2016.
In the UK and around the world. Those patients have not yet been included in any studies that have not been biased.
If we take the newer figure of 9.8% from that southern England GP audit, are you perfectly happy that 1 in every 10 transitioner will experience regret? What about if the numbers are much higher now as many of us who have read as many of the reports, papers and studies that we can find suspect?
That expectation is due to the fact that so many female transitioners have been poorly supported by the health services that were using treatments that were developed for young MALES and neglecting co-morbities.
And I do encourage you to use Google as you say to read about what even the authors of the Dutch Protocol say.
