"-16 studies examined gender-affirming medical care 4 transgender youth.
-So far, gender-affirming medical care results in favorable mental health outcomes."
The data are strongest for helping with depression and suicidal ideation. Less so for anxiety and continued dysphoria. Often patients have medication & talk therapy together, & maybe that combination is the best. These treatments are works in progress.

I’m not savvy enough to work out how to make lists but really want to connect with other academics in #queerstudies #genderstudies #culturalstudies as well as anyone who works on #fandom or #digitalmethods and #sociology ! I love #queertheory #feminism #transgenderstudies and #criticalfemininitystudies 💓💓💓

Hello friends of the Fediverse! My name is Kit and I’m a 1st year #PhDstudent at #McGillUniversity, settled in #Tiohtiá:ke aka #Montréal. I’m a white #queer #trans guy whose work tends to fall within #communicationstudies, #digitalhumanities, and #transgenderstudies.

I’m so happy to be here because tbh I never really figured out how the #birdsite worked and it was wayyy too late to ask 😅
