Rokita:
STOP it!
What’s the percentage of trans youth in the US, again? I forget….
(sarcasm) Let’s go back to the good old days where we shoved them all back into the closet. (end sarcasm)
Unlike his Force to Birth stance, that attacks 50% of the voting population, attacking transgender issues only alienates 2% of the voting population. I guess the hate and fear mongering are worth it if you pick up more votes than you lose. It’s a good political calculation. Nice messaging during Pride month.
Here’s what the science says:
Conclusion: Gender-affirming surgery is significantly associated with elevated suicide attempt risks.
The promotion of the barbaric practice must be stopped.
That is NOT what peer-reviewed, accredited research says.
Your opinion doesn’t count if you got your medical degree from Wal Mart.
RIck:
Introduction
With the growing acceptance of transgender individuals, the number of gender affirmation surgeries has increased. Transgender individuals face elevated depression rates, leading to an increase in suicide ideation and attempts. This study evaluates the risk of suicide or self-harm associated with gender affirmation procedures.
Methods
This retrospective study utilized de-identified patient data from the TriNetX (TriNetX, LLC, Cambridge, MA) database, involving 56 United States healthcare organizations and over 90 million patients. The study involved four cohorts: cohort A, adults aged 18-60 who had gender-affirming surgery and an emergency visit (N = 1,501); cohort B, control group of adults with emergency visits but no gender-affirming surgery (N = 15,608,363); and cohort C, control group of adults with emergency visits, tubal ligation or vasectomy, but no gender-affirming surgery (N = 142,093). Propensity matching was applied to cohorts A and C. Data from February 4, 2003, to February 4, 2023, were analyzed to examine suicide attempts, death, self-harm, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) within five years of the index event. A secondary analysis involving a control group with pharyngitis, referred to as cohort D, was conducted to validate the results from cohort C.
Results
Individuals who underwent gender-affirming surgery had a 12.12-fold higher suicide attempt risk than those who did not (3.47% vs. 0.29%, RR 95% CI 9.20-15.96, p < 0.0001). Compared to the tubal ligation/vasectomy controls, the risk was 5.03-fold higher before propensity matching and remained significant at 4.71-fold after matching (3.50% vs. 0.74%, RR 95% CI 2.46-9.024, p < 0.0001) for the gender affirmation patients with similar results with the pharyngitis controls.
What??? WalMart offers medical degrees? Are they available in-store, or do I have to order through Amazon?
I have a Cardinal Designation; a medical doctor degree would be just the think to silence all who oppose me…the perfect marriage of religion and medicine…
here, fixed it:
“The *Rokita* administration will stop at nothing to impose its radical *religious* ideology on Hoosiers and all Americans,” “*I’m one of* These bureaucrats that are illegally *inserting religion into* the U.S. health care system in this misguided quest.”
What closet skeleton does this idiot fanatic keep trying to overcompensate and deflect from? Somebody do some research.
