Shut up about non-trannies.
One of our "favorite" resident trannies, Mr. Thomas J. Wasserberg, quotes something interesting on his facebook:
Just gonna take my post from the other thread:

As a man of science, I'm always open to having my views disproven by new evidence. But Tom quoting this was automatically a red flag, since he basically only buttresses his arguments with nonsense and never bothers to read what he posts. Let's see
what the article he is quoting actually says about the validity of the conclusion in the title.
They also cautioned that this new study’s methodology may not be rigorous enough to support its strong conclusions, stating that only looking at data from two points in time is insufficient to describe a trend, and that some U.S. states make up a greater weight of the sample than others.
Dr. Carl Streed, an assistant professor at Boston University School of Medicine, research lead for the Center for Transgender Medicine and Surgery at Boston Medical Center, is one of the authors of
a letter published Thursday critiquing the methodology of the AAP study.
“My general takeaway is don’t let people looking to cause harm set the research agenda and don’t use data that cannot answer the proposed research question,” he told CTVNews.ca in an email sent Thursday evening.
Even the people on the study's side admit it means nothing, and doesn't actually answer what it sets out to prove.
Though I did find this funny:
Although 94 per cent of cisgender students surveyed in 2017 said that they had never attempted suicide, only 67 per cent of transgender students could say the same. Almost one in ten transgender teenagers reported in 2017 that they had attempted suicide six or more times, compared to 0.4 per cent of cisgender teens.
6 or more times. Now, given that those who attempt suicide and those who manage to commit it are non-overlapping groups, does anyone think that the 10 percent of trans teens who have tried and failed to kill themselves after 6 attempts might be either a) crying out for attention in the most histrionic and drama filled way possible, b) actually have bpd. How can someone see that statistic and not question whether or not something else if going on?

Seriously, 1 in 10 trans teenagers claim to have attempted suicide
6 or more times, and people are willing to just accept that statement as fact and not question it. Absolute clownery.
