Not to individuals but the statistic before and after do not change in regards to self harm so I guess so. There was no change in behaviour, people didnt change behaviour so there was no benefit. (I think it was 96% self harmed and 40% attempted to commit suicide) that is in a study of 400.

It’s funny to me how different groups of people can use the same material and come to entirely different conclusions.

I believe I quoted similar numbers in a previous post, however the conclusions that most professionals (mental health, psychology, social work and education) draw with their significant experience and access to other triangulated studies is that the vast number of those transitioning find their suicidal ideation reduced post transition and report increased positive mental health.

You’ll excuse me if I don’t take the commentary from an organization that is clearly transphobic in its messaging as more acceptable than the myriad of professionals.

Why?
What do you know about it.. Are you sure it is safe?
I know very little about it but I don't think there's anything wrong about worrying or having concerns about new technology and any potential negative effects.

Sure why not? the sample size was 400.

try this come from Canada https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5630273/

"Transgender youth had a higher risk of reporting psychological distress, self-harm, major depressive episode, suicidal ideation, and suicide attempts. Risk ratios ranged from 3.8 to 16.1. Transgender boys/men and non-binary youth were most likely to report self-harm and non-binary youth also reported lower overall mental health."

as if it's a choice between sending someone to Belvo or Clongowes, or else towards a life of crime!

Belvedere and Clongowes are absolutely no impediment to a life of crime, as we well know.

Read the first statement in that post again. I am saying that it isn't a binary choice between the State subsidising fee-paying schools, and a rise in criminality.

It would be a far more efficient use of the Education budget if we reallocated public money away from fee-paying schools, and into areas where school retention figures are lowest. This cannot happen over night, but could be workable over, say, a ten-year phase.

There is the assumption that it is a money problem. You need to see Youthreach. It is a massive money pit with little to no metric results.
"There are some men you just cant reach".
By the time these students have gotten to Youth Reach the damage is done and the opportunity has been lost. If there is no respect from the parent for education its not going to filter through to the kids.

It payment to fee paying schools is the payment that "every child" is entitled to. Public schools are much more efficiently run than private ones. IF you could see the contracts handed out in public sector that has been disclosed in the past you would understand why.

Because lifesitenews are completely and utterly biased and have shown they will publish literally anything if it supports, or can be twisted into looking like it supports, their agenda.

Yes that's already been posted in the thread more than once, your point?

It's not really any different from any other wireless technology as far as the transmitters go

I've yet to hear any conspiracy nuts complaining about 500kW TV transmitters, but they go crazy about ~50W mobile phone masts

Do you often make racist jokes, or is it usually just reserved for when you're watching Gemma O'Doherty on her YouTube channel?

Have you only started making racist jokes _since_ starting to watch GO'D?

The point is that research can often be used to illustrate any point of view depending on what spin you want. And I say that as a researcher.

However you do have work on a consensus, and by bent of experience and expertise you should preference the analysis of those who are experts at looking at data and interpreting it. I will always preference analysis from academic researchers who have access to the FULL dataset rather than the commentary from a biased source.

You also seem to equate poor mental health in trans youth etc to mean that their suicidal ideation etc is because they are trans and that the problem is their trans identity, rather than an outcome of oppression, legal discrimination and hearing constant narratives telling them they are sick and wrong, and living with the fear of losing loved ones and jobs.

Whaooo there. You cannot blame me for them having poor mental health or cannot get a job. I will often say the same thing again and again on the employment front. Dont try to stand out, employers dont want an outstanding employee, they want a cog to fit their machine. Its the cog that doesnt fit the machine they want to disgard. Oh they say we want diversity in work place and it is our strenght but before they have advertised the job they have already decided on the type of employee they want and what they want them doing and who they want them exposed to.

I always say try to fit into the role you are going for. There are certain roles that people want their professionals to be lilly white for (Doctors, nurse Teacher, Social worker, solicitor). Society isnt ready for all these changes. You have to fit society, society doesnt have to fit you. If you have 6 sets of piercings on your face, dont apply for a chef or waiter. I was in a food shop the other day and some girl with a nose ring had a runny nose. I was out of that place like a shot.

How does it seem right that a person with a history of self harm/attempted suicide would have mental health issues? I never said it the other way around.

One of my clients is trans gender, I am always extra careful him (despite surgery I still treat him as a male), not because I dont like him, he is a great client funny and polite but because he is high risk and I have to limit my risk to expose to infections from needlestick. That is just common sense.

What's racist about it? It's a play on words, satirical. Like Adolf Hipster.
A racist joke is generally directed at some person or group.

Interesting article here (in the excellent Quilette) which amongst other things posits that there is an element of social construction to the current transgender mania

Thank you so much for proving my entire point.

Why is she (and legally she is now a SHE) high risk? Just because she’s trans? Oh, and if you’re a health and social care professional and this is how you treat your clients you are, frankly, a disgrace.

"About three-fifths of respondents had engaged in unprotected sexual activity during the past 12 months. The risk for HIV infection from unprotected sex was significantly higher among respondents of color than among white respondents. About one-third (30.1 percent) of respondents had attempted suicide. More than half of respondents had been forced to have sex, 56.3 percent had experienced violence in their homes, and 51.3 percent had been physically abused. Twenty-six percent of respondents had been denied medical care because they were transgender.".

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15847234

That is kind of difficult to negotiate on. If you are prone to depression and self harm while also having high risk sex then it hard to complain about being discriminated against when partaking in high risk activities.

Precisely. Such as, oh, say, Semitic people, for example?

How is it in any way "satirical"?

She maybe a "she" legally but that person engages in high risk activities. You have made a heap of assumption without even understanding my profession and systems. It has to do with which side I insert needles. She isnt even aware of it. I just charge her for materials. She doesnt complain and rebooks at the end of each session and understand she is a high risk client. You do know that "needle stick" is a real thing?

Yes. I’ve worked in health & social care for 2 decades. Don’t condescend to me.

I also know that part of the responsibilities of professionals are to confront their assumptions about their patients and those they support. If you do not have explicit confirmation from her that she engages in the risky activity that that report discusses then to assume she does so just because she’s a member of an at risk community doesn’t mean she engages in those behaviors.

I’m a member of an at risk community, being gay, but that’s doesnt mean I engage in those activities.
