I'm writing a paper in support of gender affirming care and the legitimacy of trans people in general.
If anyone can provide me with relevant medical research, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks.

>rogd debunked
as a rogd mtf this is heartbreaking
mood
t. rogd hrt repper
you probably weren't rogd. you probably just didn't understand your own dysphoria until you read of the experiences of others
no, I just did not begin to experience any dysphoria until I was 19. When I was in high school I was not trans. I was not dysphoric, I was not repressing, I was not even gender nonconforming
Even the academics who think the ROGD phenomenon is real are skeptical taht it occurs on natal males
misandry
I mean this entirely unironically
Thinking AFABs are more easily influeced by trends is misandry ? Kek
damn so i can never develop rogd and stop being a cis man?
How is that possible? I knew since i was around 5
Can I ask why you’re asking on LULZ?
t. Fellow academic
People on here are raw asf, also, I don't really use other platforms where people would see my post. Wanted to ask what seems to be a large variety of trans people.
Possibly a mistake since people seem to be more keen on arguing over ROGD than answering me lmfao.
I think to make a good paper/argument you can write a proposal for good mental health screening.
There’s a repper thread for example, about the brains of MtF reppers being inflamed in certain areas. I also remember seeing a study floating around that there was some insensitivity or altered processing of natal sex hormones in both MtF and ftm. I couldn’t find it but here is a cool one about how HRT changes someone’s dna
In addition I have found studies showing correlation between autism and transitioning, personality disorders and transitioning, so there may well be a cohort who are transitioning for the “wrong” reasons. That needs to be further investigated to create a good model.

nih gov/pmc/articles/PMC7084367/
I think overall there is a lot of evidence to suggest that trans people are real. But not everyone who considers or tries transition is trans in the sense that they were born with something neurological due to a hormone imbalance in the womb
(It’s not letting me send links, you’ll just have to use google scholar and find these)
>Not supported by science
“Science” these days is dominated by woke israeli ideologues.
If you are too stupid to actually evaluate the woke israeli science then you should probably just believe it lest your incel brain convince you everyone is going to die of covid vaccination and all trannies will detransition in 2 more weeks
There's literally a long thread on the best modern brain scan research on this topic in this thread:
Thanks.
>help me prove my confirmation bias
The VERY serious science of proving that diaper scatters and e-boi gooners are in fact legitimately women.
Its called an opinion paper for a fucking reason shortbus
coming to LULZ to get sources on medical research. ok this is an undergrad paper at best.
here you go.

https://since2010.substack.com/p/part-7-rogd-rapid-onset-gender-dysphoria
steal the sources at the bottom
Blanchardism and ROGD nonsense are both directly refuted by the brain scan studies in the thread linked above.
well use the sources in there to get more sources.
>directly refuted
also this phrase proves your paper will be shit any way. Enjoy getting a B in whatever shitty major and school you go to.

>Transgender persons experience incongruence between their gender identity and birth-assigned sex. The resulting gender dysphoria (GD), is frequently treated with cross-sex hormones. However, very little is known about how this treatment affects the brain of individuals with GD, nor do we know the neurobiology of GD. We recently suggested that disconnection of fronto-parietal networks involved in own-body self-referential processing could be a plausible mechanism, and that the anatomical correlate could be a thickening of the mesial prefrontal and precuneus cortex, which is unrelated to sex. Here, we investigate how cross-sex hormone treatment affects cerebral tissue in persons with GD, and how potential changes are related to self-body perception.
>significant Cth decreases were observed in the mesial prefrontal and parietal cortices, in both TrM and TrW (vs. controls) – regions showing greater pre-treatment Cth than in controls. The own body – self congruence ratings increased with treatment, and correlated with a left parietal cortical thinning. These data confirm our hypothesis that GD may be associated with specific anatomical features in own-body/self-processing circuits that reverse to the pattern of cisgender controls after cross-sex hormone treatment
This and other studies in this vein go on to show that cross-sex HRT physically reduces the structural brain differences trans people have from cis people in the self/body processing regions of the brain in proportion to the extent it reduces experienced dysphoria for those trans people.
These findings show that gender identity incongruence has real & observable neurological effects on human brains, and that gender affirming care has real & observable neurological effects on treating gender incongruence in human brains. Any theories that pretend gender identity and dysphoria aren't real phenomena can therefore be dismissed.
Oh, when I say directly refuted, I mean literally directly empirically refuted:

>Although frequently discussed in terms of sex dimorphism, the neurobiology of sexual orientation and identity is unknown. We report multimodal magnetic resonance imaging data, including cortical thickness (Cth), subcortical volumes, and resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging, from 27 transgender women (TrW), 40 transgender men (TrM), and 80 heterosexual (40 men) and 60 homosexual cisgender controls (30 men). These data show that whereas homosexuality is linked to cerebral sex dimorphism, gender dysphoria primarily involves cerebral networks mediating self–body perception. Among the homosexual cisgender controls, weaker sex dimorphism was found in white matter connections and a partly reversed sex dimorphism in Cth. Similar patterns were detected in transgender persons compared with heterosexual cisgender controls, but the significant clusters disappeared when adding homosexual controls, and correcting for sexual orientation. Instead, both TrW and TrM displayed singular features, showing greater Cth as well as weaker structural and functional connections in the anterior cingulate-precuneus and right occipito-parietal cortex, regions known to process own body perception in the context of self.
Pre-HRT Trans men & trans women of all sexual orientations were included in this study, building on a previous similar studies on gynephilic trans women and on gynephilic trans men. These studies show:
1) All trans people share the same set of structural brain differences from cis people (of both sexes) in the self/body processing regions of the brain that correspond to gender identity incongruence and gender dysphoria.
2) Sexual orientation and pre-HRT 'brain gender' do not play a causal role in whether a person is trans. Only gender identity congruence vs incongruence do.
>a blanchard article and an article describing a podcast
bruh
You should ask in HRTgen, they're always throwing around neat studies in there
>EVIDENCE UNDERMINES ROGD
>actually the paper got retracted after a letter signed by a bunch of academics said the survey's results were unethical and harmful for the transgender community
I don't think the two retracted studies had ideal methodology or anything like that, but saying "evidence positively disaffirms ROGD" implies you at least have tried to gather better data than the people proposing ROGD did.
fuck that OP that's boring. we should do objective research into the underlying factors
for example, polling people here to see how many genuinely feel like they've experienced rapid-onset gender dysphoria, while also managing to weed out trolls
does it make wealthy people more money? science will find a way to affirm it. does it threaten the wealth of wealthy people? it will be declared unscientific. welcome to modern science. pharmaceuticals are a trillion dollar entity and you are brickbrained if you think these people don't put money into the pockets of politicians, scientists, journalists, medical practitioners, and academics everywhere. in fact they literally do on the surface level between lobbying and bonuses for prescriptions. combine this with the leviathan that is modern insurance companies and you have a recipe for complete and total corruption of hard sciences.
I'm a veteran tranny fucker and educated enough in antiquity to know things like plato bitching about men taking on the aspect of women over two thousand years ago, and I'll be the first to tell you that gender studies are complete pseudoscience. take hrt if you want to, it doesn't matter. if it makes you feel better then good on you, more meat for me anyway with the cute ones. but you're delusional if you think this shit is supported by science. I guess delusion is natural for the majority of trannies, I stay away from that kind though.
