No matter how the corporate media and the left like to promote it, identifying as "transgender" isn't the key to emotional stability or contentment with life. Oftentimes, it's a gateway to horrendous, irreversible decisions and more emotional hardship than is necessary to take on.
More and more often, you see people regret their decision to embrace the idea of gender fluidity and do their best to go back to their natural selves, even after they've undergone surgeries and hormone treatments. This phenomenon goes underreported in a big way and you can definitely not count on the corporate media to talk too much about it.
Even researchers are barred from studying it too much for fear that backlash against those who fund them could occur and cause a whole host of issues. This is a problem that's been going on for years:
Yet, you can bet when a study comes out that lends merit to the idea that transitioning out of your natural sex and embracing the idea of transgenderism is healthy, you'll hear all about it. Such as a recent study reported on by NBC, which said that 90,000 transgender people were more satisfied with their lives once they started or finished transitioning:
Respondents who received transition-related medical care reported similarly high rates of satisfaction. Of respondents who were currently receiving hormone treatment, 84% said receiving such treatment for their gender identities/transitions made them “a lot more satisfied” with their lives, and 14% said it made them “a little more satisfied.” Just 1% said hormone treatment made them neither more nor less satisfied, and less than 1% said hormone treatment made them a lot less satisfied.
Of respondents who underwent at least one form of gender-affirming surgery, 88% said it made them “a lot more satisfied,” and 9% said it made them a little more satisfied. Less than 2% total said surgery made them a little less or a lot less satisfied.
A rule of thumb when it comes to studies and surveys; If the number of people who respond to any given question all agree in some capacity in the 90th percentile...it's probably not true. In fact, with 90,000 people giving their opinion, a number that high is improbable enough to be impossible.
In fact, as it was pointed out, it's all likely a complete lie, and the clues that it is can be found in the breakdown of who was interviewed. As journalist Jesse Singal pointed out, the sample wasn't just skewed in various ways, the people who answered the study's questions actually sought out the study to answer its questions.
"The level of complete statistical illiteracy on the part of people who claim to be watchdogs continues to grate on me," said Singal. "This survey examined those who *currently identify as trans* and who sought to participate in a study about that! Detransitioners were definitionally excluded."
So not only did the people go into the survey to willingly sing the praises of transitioning to a pro-transgender group, but the survey seemed to exclude anyone who had regrets about doing so, which isn't a small group. Moreover, it was conducted online, making the identity of those who participated immediately suspect. It's also unclear if some of the people who participated in the survey took the survey multiple times.
In short, the sample is about as trustworthy as the sample's claims about being a gender they're not.
One telling thing, however, was the sample's answer when asked if they'd experienced some sort of "serious psychological distress" in the last 30 days. According to the survey, 44 percent of respondents said they had. Almost a third said they had been homeless at some point in their lives.
Why do I find this interesting?
Let's take them at their word and say they did experience homelessness and psychological distress. A few questions pop up.
Firstly, did this psychological distress lead to their need to transition? Is this an admission that nearly half of those who consider themselves "non-binary" or "gender fluid" do so as a trauma response? This would mean that for almost half of those who say they're transgender, what they're actually doing is using transgenderism as a defense mechanism and they weren't actually born in the wrong body as many like to claim.
Meaning, they aren't transgender.
But perhaps the fact that it happened in the last 30 days means their identity as trans wasn't a result of the "serious psychological distress"...but it does indicate that perhaps there is some sort of imbalance that causes them to see troubles as far greater than they actually are.
Nearly half of 90,000 people are a lot of folks to experience "serious psychological distress" in the span of 30 days. You'd reserve that kind of thing for events such as a death in the family, losing your job unexpectedly, a life-threatening event, or something really tragic like your kid telling you he or she is transgender. These aren't things that happen every month and even a sample size that large wouldn't likely have that many people going through traumatic events at that level.
For instance, according to FHE Health, 61 percent of men and 56 percent of women report at least one traumatic event happening to them...in their lifetime. Highly traumatic events will happen randomly through everyone's lives, but a sample size of 90,000 people reporting having undergone one within 30 days? Highly unlikely.
What this suggests is that these people are already pre-wired to be easily emotionally distressed and suffer trauma at a rate far greater than the normal person. This also suggests that transgenderism is a trauma response...meaning they're not transgender, they're just throwing up a defense mechanism to help navigate their hazardous mental landscapes.
Both of these suggest that transgenderism is actually a symptom of something else, not the disease.
