The “trans” lobby claims that genital mutilation of minors is necessary in order to prevent troubled teenagers from committing suicide. To my knowledge, there is no empirical basis for this claim, and suicide rates among those who have undergone sex change surgery are sky-high. But the claim persists, nevertheless.
Now, it turns out that one of the key “studies” relied on to support sex change procedures has been withdrawn. (Snip) Integrity in published research has been on a downhill slide for some time. It started in the social sciences, and has now spread to the hard sciences. The basic idea of a research study is to be reproducible: someone else who

It should be pointed out. Most suicides are a "cry for help", which strongly implies survival was the plan all along.
Transgenders, on the other hand, seldom survive their suicides. They are spectacularly successful at killing themselves. This study says 19 times more successful than your plain old suicide attempt. Their "cry" was when they displayed the dysmorphic symptoms. The all or nothing solution of genital destruction leaves them nowhere to go but the cemetery.

The primary reason for these surgeries has neen a supposed “mental health” one, a rather bogus claim that if one believed he/she was the opposite sex, removal of the offending sex organs and patching in pretend “organs” to supposedly match one’s “belief” was necessary to keep the person from the ultimate mental health problem, suiciide. Now, belatedly, they have found that that is dead wrong (pun intended).
As for “studies”,
Integrity in published research has been on a downhill slide for some time. It started in the social sciences, and has now spread to the hard sciences. The basic idea of a research study is to be reproducible: someone else who tries the same experiment should get more or less the same result. But in recent years, a combination of hunger for headline-making publications and pursuit of political agendas has given rise to countless allegedly peer-reviewed studies that turned out to be utterly bogus:

Sex change operations are unnecessary, do not change your sex, and ruin health. If you can't reverse something, the best advice is not to do it. That applies to sex change operations, and those ugly tattoo's, which destroy the skin. The best thing to look better is to lose, or maintain your weight, and take care of your health. Get some manners, respect other people's traditions, recognize you don't have special privileges, and no one is required to learn a new language, or be familiar with your personal choices, or culture. The reality is the world is not going to adjust to you. Your natural ally is your opposite sex.

They are a fool's errand. Sex CANNOT be changed, and the mentally ill can only be mutilated and harmed.
And, if at some point, they recognize the literal insanity and futility of their quest to change sex, they can no longer go back and recover - it makes what may be a temporary mental problem in to a permanent physical disability.
"Gender surgery" is pure evil, there is no good in it at all. It should be a felony for any doc to do it to ANY person, not just children.

OK - - now let's analyze the "science" behind Gullible Warming and Climate Change.
Where are the statistically-reliable data bases? Where are the multivariate statistical analyses - - which prove the Null Hypothesis?
Nowhere? Impossible to gather the data? No multivariate analyses? Oh - - yes - - that's what I thought.

Read up on the facts. For males who have the operation, what they have is a open wound that is constantly trying to heal itself.
Deleted. TMI Is this what parents want to do to this child? If so they should be locked up.

My 22yr. old grandson took his own life after he let a butcher mutilate him. I now have two granddaughters (cousins) both 24yrs old saying they are lesbians. They aren't, they never once showed any signs of being lesbians while growing up, they have been influenced by social media and friends. It's a crime what has happened to this generation but no one will be punished for it.

Show me a child that has undergone a sex change operation, and I will show you a child that will never be able to have children. How will this help someone that is thinking of suicide? Just how closely tied are the trans movement and the abortion movement? No doubt the abortion movement thinks the only thing better than abortion is being unable to have children at all. They want to hide this from parents? They want to promote this in schools? What is wrong with people?!?

I was wondering if maybe the headline meant one could be ugly and stupid in two sexes.

Homosexuals have been pushing this slime sex stuff since we were a boy in SoCal, and, uh, saber tooth tigers were still a comon sight hereabouts.

'Peer review' is a joke. Studies become superficially reviewed by other 'friends' of the authors - a kind of 'scratch my back - I'll scratch yours' old boy/girl network. Experiments are not reproducible and the entire concept of scientific review has become pathetic. Can anything be trusted anymore?

I'm pretty sure that you cannot change your sex with surgery. It is definitely a mental health issue. My granddaughter is in a relationship with a trans. Her partner was once a beautiful young woman who is now a pitiful looking man.

Although gruesome, I read the censored portion of #6's post yesterday. A little surprised Lucianne did not let it stand.
