hey so this one's father is going to look for statistics/studies about if HRT actually improves mental health (he is extremely conservative but also (probably) wouldn't ignore that kind of data)

he also seems fine with this one sending him examples as well

does anyone have any recommendations because this is the only way this one could ever get its family even slightly on board

@wetsocks fuck WPATH, but this might be helpful, too: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/26895269.2022.2100644

@wetsocks I suggest that it searches PubMed for relevant studies:

Some of these look at outcomes of gender‐affirming surgeries and not hormone therapy, but I included them under the assumption that they might still be useful in convincing a conservative father that gender‐affirming care is important and has overwhelmingly positive outcomes.

The list includes both individual studies as well as reviews, which try to summarise the available data either using systematic search and statistical methods or by narrative.

The full text of these articles is sometimes available online either through PubMed itself or through the journal in which is was published (see screenshot). If the full text is not available without a journal subscription, it can try to access it through Sci-Hub by pasting the PubMed URL or DOI into the search field.

It might also be interested in the policy statement of the American Psychological Association on gender‐affirming care: https://www.apa.org/about/policy/transgender-nonbinary-inclusive-care.pdf
