Oh, don't worry it's probably even more lopsided than that, one of the exclusion criteria will be anyone who stopped treatment before the study period is up. Can't tell for sure because their abstract lists nothing about their actual selection methodology and it's too fresh to get a high seas copy of the full text to check yet. But it's pretty standard by now, ideologically motivated social science cardinals will find any proxy possible to eliminate kids who regret it, no matter how transparent. They'll only count the kids who regretted it but for some reason still kept taking the hormones anyway (e.g. pressure from trender clout chasing adults), and preach their cooked books like gospel.
Thank you, I came here to say that. Even all the people here calling this out as obvious bullshit are actually being too kind and trusting.
I'm not sure about this particular study, but they've done it before with other 'trans happiness' studies, so I'm guessing this is probably that same one. I forget all the criteria but, yeah, if you stop treatment, or maybe even therapy, you're dropped.
It dwindles down to only the most delusional or dedicated people; all the people who were unhappy are no longer being counted. It's just like what they did with Covid and the 'safe and effective' studies. Massively skewed, to get the results they want.
