[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^You can keep denying it, it really doesn't matter.

It says right there, in plain English, under the outcomes of the study:

"Persons with transsexualism, after sex reassignment, have considerably higher risks for mortality, suicidal behaviour, and psychiatric morbidity than the general population. Our findings suggest that sex reassignment, although alleviating gender dysphoria, may not suffice as treatment for transsexualism, and should inspire improved psychiatric and somatic care after sex reassignment for this patient group."

I know it's not what you wanted to hear.  But that doesn't invalidate the research. [/quote]

Jeez, you really can't read that right.  The point is, people who feel they are in the wrong-gendered body are at higher risks for those things. And sex reassignment surgery, unfortunately, in this study of a small sample of Swedes, found that reassignment did not necessarily help them feel less suicidal, etc.  That, in ADDITION to sex reassignment, they could benefit from humane treatment in the form of psychiatric and somatic care.  Okay, does that help you now?  In other words, if you want to help these people, it probably helps to not be a dick to them. (haha, so to speak.)[/quote]

Hopkins came up with the same conclusions and stopped their sex change surgeries years ago. In fact, Hopkins said that studies support that transgender feelings are more linked to other body dysmorphic disorders/OCD disorders and should be treated as such for the greatest success.

These types of arguments remind me of the ones going around in eating disordered communities, where, despite the very solid evidence showing that OCD medications taken concurrently with behavior mod therapy, helps immensely and saves lives, those professionals who treat EDs refuse to believe it...because....shaming. If the goal of these 'professionals' was really to save lives, they would embrace these newer findings. But without dead girls, they can't stand on Capitol Hill, so they do not. [/quote]
