Studies to Watch Out For
- Dhejne et al. 11
- Commonly cited by transphobes to indicate sexual reassignment surgery harms trans people and increases risk of suicide.
- This is NOT what the study says
- A study proving that SRS harms trans people would compare the wellbeing of post-SRS trans people to pre-SRS trans people, but this one uses CIS people as a control group
- The study merely demonstrates that trans people who have had SRS still are a vulnerable population compared to cis people, but NOT that their condition had been worsened by SRS.
- The head author, Cecilia Dhejne, is actually very trans positive herself, and describes her intent in publishing this study in this AMA.
- Littman 18
- Commonly cited by transphobes to indicate transness spreads socially, that exposure to trans material might encourage youth to be trans. “Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria” (ROGD).
- BAD DATA. This study polled PARENTS, not the actual children, and those polls were taken online, and those sites were biased by nature - ‘4thwavenow, transgendertrend, youthtranscriticalprofessionals’.
- Horrendously, pathetically inept data collection. Anyone who cites this should be laughed at.
- Leinung et al. 18 sometimes cited as this article
- Bad data: the study claims that hormonal therapy does not help reduce T levels to that pf a cis woman’s; however, the study uses the testosterone blocker known as spiro which prevents the body from acting on the testosterone rather then remove it from the blood, making the data useless
