    No one is saying that it will be deadly, always. What depriving a trans person from gender affirming care does is make them miserable, drive them towards unhealthy coping mechanism and raises suicidality.

    The evidence is neutral at best, yeah?

    There’s also a meta review, that, while saying that more rigorous research is needed, says

    Of the 23 studies that met the inclusion criteria, the majority indicated a reduction in suicidality following gender-affirming treatment

    So, stop lying.

      But the care results in no reduction in suicidality.

        After adjusting for potential confounders, accessing GAH during early adolescence (aOR = 0.4, 95% CI = 0.2-0.6, p < .0001), late adolescence (aOR = 0.5, 95% CI = 0.4-0.7, p < .0001), or adulthood (aOR = 0.8, 95% CI = 0.7-0.8, p < .0001) was associated with lower odds of past-year suicidal ideation when compared to desiring but never accessing GAH. In post hoc analyses, access to GAH during adolescence (ages 14-17) was associated with lower odds of past-year suicidal ideation (aOR = 0.7, 95% CI = 0.6-0.9, p = .0007) when compared to accessing GAH during adulthood.

        Okay you’re just straight up lying now. I’m done here, piss off.

          These are low-quality studies that ignore confounders and don’t include people who resolve their dysphoria by other means, including by no longer experiencing it.
