Review of suicides and gender dysphoria at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust: independent report (www.gov.uk)
submitted 4 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
12 comments fedilink hide all child comments
 

The summary:

  1. The data do not support the claim that there has been a large rise in suicide in young gender dysphoria patients at the Tavistock.
  2. The way that this issue has been discussed on social media has been insensitive, distressing and dangerous, and goes against guidance on safe reporting of suicide.
  3. The claims that have been placed in the public domain do not meet basic standards for statistical evidence.
  4. There is a need to move away from the perception that puberty-blocking drugs are the main marker of non-judgemental acceptance in this area of health care.
  5. We need to ensure high quality data in which everyone has confidence, as the basis of improved safety for this at risk group of young people.

My grandmother once told me that answering a question with a question is being evasive.

Here's more questions: did you know that according to the new england journal of medicine the leading cause of death among children and teens in America is firearm related injury?

Why do people in America seem to want to talk more about woke transes and puberty blockers, instead of safe storage and teaching kids not to play with guns?

My answer to yours is that I don't know. I have heard some wild conspiracy theories about the Tavistock, and I'm not familiar with the good law project.

My wife was for many years in medical research and she says that people misinterpret, misrepresent, hide and lie about data all the time. " You can make the data tell any story you want." She says.

So really, I don't know. I hope so.
