Suicide-Related Outcomes Following Gender-Affirming Treatment: A Review

...

Abstract

Gender-affirming treatment remains a topic of controversy; of particular concern is whether gender-affirming treatment reduces suicidality. A narrative review was undertaken evaluating suicide-related outcomes following gender-affirming surgery, hormones, and/or puberty blockers. Of the 23 studies that met the inclusion criteria, the majority indicated a reduction in suicidality following gender-affirming treatment; however, the literature to date suffers from a lack of methodological rigor that increases the risk of type I error. There is a need for continued research in suicidality outcomes following gender-affirming treatment that adequately controls for the presence of psychiatric comorbidity and treatment, substance use, and other suicide risk-enhancing and reducing factors. There is also a need for future systematic reviews given the inherent limitations of a narrative review. There may be implications on the informed consent process of gender-affirming treatment given the current lack of methodological robustness of the literature reviewed.

The Wisconsin GOP's threat to impeach a judge is playing with fire
The GOP's attack on democracy could be fatal — for the GOP.

Wisconsin Republicans have moved past election denial, straight to election nullification.

If the GOP follows through on its threats, it will impeach a newly elected Supreme Court justice before she has ruled on any major case. It’s hard to imagine a more direct attack on democracy than overturning an election — or a more direct attack on the independent judiciary — but Republicans in the Badger State appear to be fully prepared to do just that. And if they go through with it, it will have huge ramifications in a crucial swing state in 2024.

Even though the GOP may be having second-thoughts, state legislative leaders are still keeping the option open, because they see the new 4-3 liberal majority on the state’s high court as an existential threat to their power.

To understand why this is happening, we need to look at the numbers:

The party of "family values"

And yet again, another dude destroyed his marriage all on his own. No LGBT+ nor drag queens involved.

Also, were I a member of the party of "family values," I might note that she is apparently living in sin.

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

I'm waiting for her wedding planner to drop her for "sincerely held religious beliefs."

What? That only applies to teh gheys? Shameful.
