Well, so I do want to say there have been some credible concerns brought up about this study.
I'm not sure if someone has at any point like talks to a psychiatrist two years after they've transitioned.
I'm not sure that's good evidence that they have serious comorbidities have not been addressed by medical transition.
I think there are a lot of problems with this.
But this study aside,
I think anyone can look at the cohort of trans people, which has radically expanded since it was 30 years ago, and can see they're not doing well.
Anyone with a Twitter account can see trans people are not doing well overall.
So I have no doubt that directionally there's a lot of truth in this study.
I mean, obviously, I agree with that.
But the problem is you have this progressive political project that has expanded, expanded, expanded.
You mentioned this study.
One of the things that study shows, I believe it's 79% of that cohort was actual natal females.
This has changed so radically that when I transitioned in the 90s, we did one study that natal females that wanted to transition to men, we estimated it as about 1 in 100,000 back then.
And actual transsexuals only being about 1 in 30,000.
There's no parent in America today that isn't looking at their child's class and their people identifying as non-binary, all this other stuff.
It's expanded so much.
And the problem is we're prescribing for those people the thing that worked for me.
And what worked for me was fantastic.
Estrogen cured my mental issues like that.
It made my addictive issues go away.
