@ErinInTheMorn - Cash is linked to improved quality of life -Cash is an integral determinant of well-being - Cash increases positive psych outcomes - Cash must be considered preventative mental healthcare Where's my money?
@ErinInTheMorn My lancet family has sold their sold for money and it has been so for generations.
@ErinInTheMorn GAC makes you a permanent medical patient who will require treatment for your entire life and leave you maimed. How does that lead to improved quality of life? I'm far more inclined to believe this article is based more on politics than medicine.
@ErinInTheMorn This is another "study" without true control group. A true control group would consider not only people who persistently identify as trans, but ALSO those who detransition, AND those who at some point expressed gender confusion/dysphoria but never pursued transition at all.
@ErinInTheMorn It’s more accurate to say “asserts” than “confirms,” and @LeorSapir has some worthwhile reflections on this paper. x.com/leorsapir/stat…
@ErinInTheMorn The paper clearly states it is only concerned with the narrative conjecture
