Brianna Wu: Trans Democrat Is Pro Free Speech, Anti MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ "Genderqueer Nonsense" & Kid Transitions w/ Viva Frei & Brad Polumbo โ€” Ask Dr Drew โ€“ Ep 609

Well, so I do want to say there have been some credible concerns brought up about this study.

Ask Dr. Drew

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.

Ask Dr. Drew
Brianna Wu: Trans Democrat Is Pro Free Speech, Anti MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ "Genderqueer Nonsense" & Kid Transitions w/ Viva Frei & Brad Polumbo โ€” Ask Dr Drew โ€“ Ep 609

I think there are a lot of problems with this.

Ask Dr. Drew
Brianna Wu: Trans Democrat Is Pro Free Speech, Anti MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ "Genderqueer Nonsense" & Kid Transitions w/ Viva Frei & Brad Polumbo โ€” Ask Dr Drew โ€“ Ep 609

But this study aside,

Ask Dr. Drew
Brianna Wu: Trans Democrat Is Pro Free Speech, Anti MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ "Genderqueer Nonsense" & Kid Transitions w/ Viva Frei & Brad Polumbo โ€” Ask Dr Drew โ€“ Ep 609

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.

Ask Dr. Drew

Anyone with a Twitter account can see trans people are not doing well overall.

Ask Dr. Drew
Brianna Wu: Trans Democrat Is Pro Free Speech, Anti MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ "Genderqueer Nonsense" & Kid Transitions w/ Viva Frei & Brad Polumbo โ€” Ask Dr Drew โ€“ Ep 609

So I have no doubt that directionally there's a lot of truth in this study.

Ask Dr. Drew
Brianna Wu: Trans Democrat Is Pro Free Speech, Anti MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ "Genderqueer Nonsense" & Kid Transitions w/ Viva Frei & Brad Polumbo โ€” Ask Dr Drew โ€“ Ep 609

I mean, obviously, I agree with that.

Ask Dr. Drew

But the problem is you have this progressive political project that has expanded, expanded, expanded.

Ask Dr. Drew
Brianna Wu: Trans Democrat Is Pro Free Speech, Anti MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ "Genderqueer Nonsense" & Kid Transitions w/ Viva Frei & Brad Polumbo โ€” Ask Dr Drew โ€“ Ep 609

You mentioned this study.

Ask Dr. Drew
Brianna Wu: Trans Democrat Is Pro Free Speech, Anti MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ "Genderqueer Nonsense" & Kid Transitions w/ Viva Frei & Brad Polumbo โ€” Ask Dr Drew โ€“ Ep 609

One of the things that study shows, I believe it's 79% of that cohort was actual natal females.

Ask Dr. Drew
Brianna Wu: Trans Democrat Is Pro Free Speech, Anti MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ "Genderqueer Nonsense" & Kid Transitions w/ Viva Frei & Brad Polumbo โ€” Ask Dr Drew โ€“ Ep 609

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.

Ask Dr. Drew

And actual transsexuals only being about 1 in 30,000.

Ask Dr. Drew
Brianna Wu: Trans Democrat Is Pro Free Speech, Anti MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ "Genderqueer Nonsense" & Kid Transitions w/ Viva Frei & Brad Polumbo โ€” Ask Dr Drew โ€“ Ep 609

Ask Dr. Drew

And the problem is we're prescribing for those people the thing that worked for me.

Ask Dr. Drew
