The summary:
- The data do not support the claim that there has been a large rise in suicide in young gender dysphoria patients at the Tavistock.
- The way that this issue has been discussed on social media has been insensitive, distressing and dangerous, and goes against guidance on safe reporting of suicide.
- The claims that have been placed in the public domain do not meet basic standards for statistical evidence.
- There is a need to move away from the perception that puberty-blocking drugs are the main marker of non-judgemental acceptance in this area of health care.
- We need to ensure high quality data in which everyone has confidence, as the basis of improved safety for this at risk group of young people.
You want me to use your own source to argue with you so you don’t have to read your own source?
Lol nah. That’s on you.
I’m not sure why the hostility? I’ve read the source, and you either didn’t read it or misunderstood it. Nowhere does it say what you’re claiming it says, you’re welcome to disprove that with quotes.
For anybody else reading this, if you doubt that the above commenter misunderstood the article, you can just read it. It’s not very long.
I’m not sure why you think I’m being hostile? I’m simply arguing against the core of the issue, rather than the specific suicide statistic of the article and have stated as much. I just refuse to look through your own source for you.
If you think that’s hostile then maybe you should analyze your emotional reaction to text comments on the internet?
I don’t see where his claim is supported in the article. That’s why I don’t reply to him as it’s a waste of time.
That or you know you’re wrong and don’t want to continue being reminded.
