Oh fuck off. I actually bothered to read the study and educate myself on the subject, rather than just accept "my side's" arguments as doctrine. Don't pull that helping children bullshit. You know what helps? A study (small sample size) was done that showed that schizophrenia medication completely removed trans' individuals desire to be the opposite sex within a few days. Why aren't we funding a larger study to see if the results can be generalized? With a 40% suicide rate, that may be by far the best way to save lives.

It's not dislike of the subject. I have no problem admitting 0.3% of the population is trans, and that's its a real condition. What I DO dislike is being told it's normal, we should celebrate it, and rather than continue to research treatment methods we should just assume the suicide rate is due entirely to social stigma (even though it doesn't go down in passing individuals) and will "go away" if we all believe hard enough.
