Perhaps you are confused that two things are called homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a medical belief system. Homeopathic medicines originated from this. But other (unregulated) medicines wanted to use this, too. That’s how these medicines can be labelled like this, but this labeling is not restricted to the homeopathic system, and is used by ANYONE that doesn’t want to be regulated the same way.

Homeopathic medicine is unlikely to help you because it is unregulated. If there were studies that showed effectiveness and safety, they wouldn’t hide behind the homeopathic label. That doesn’t mean that they don’t do anything, because they are allowed to contain active ingredients.

Please just read about on the FDA’s website: https://www.fda.gov/drugs/information-drug-class/homeopathic-products

Used their website, which would definitely have stated as such. I feel like you want to suggest that homeopathic medicine is good, but homeopathic medicine doesn’t have to prove it is effective nor that there aren’t any side effects. Labeling as homeopathic is just a way to put products out and avoid the FDA or having to prove it works.

In this particular case, being labelled as homeopathic IS typically a sign that it does not work and might actually cause harm.

We begin forming our gender identity fairly young, and at 2-3, we do have a relatively simple grasp on gender, and broad concepts are pretty easy to understand. A child that asks you to call them a boy or a girl instead of their assigned birth gender isn’t even particularly strange! Children explore their identities in a lot of ways, from nicknames to the way they dress and act and play.

I have a 6-year old cousin who is adamant that she is a girl with some solid reasoning behind it, and she was never told any of it. She came up with it herself! I think you underestimate children, and maybe you underestimate yourself, too.

Not how that works, and also not true. If it’s marked as homeopathic, it’s NOT approved by the FDA. There are FDA guidelines for homeopathic medicines, including the use of active ingredients, but they are specifically not approved by the FDA. And looking at Snore Stop, it never stopped being homeopathic, so no idea what you’re talking about.

If you expect us to take responsibility for our actions, then we’d have to have real solutions, and it’s just easier to complain about things, plus we’d have to arrest a looooooot of war criminals.

Not quite. Homeopathy is a medical belief structure consisting of certain practices that attempt to cure “like with like”. It has shown no benefits over placebos or other medical treatments, and on certain occasions, has been shown to have serious consequences.

There are many parts to homeopathy that are widely criticized, such as “potentisation”, a process of diluting a substance to such a degree that there contains little or none of the beginning ingredient. Additionally, since the goal is to treat symptoms by using like symptoms, the causes are never truly addressed, especially since the underlying philosophy of homeopathy is that the body can cure itself.

Thus, if you were helped by a homeopathic medicine, it was more than statistically likely a placebo effect. Please do not rely on homeopathy for medicine.

Do you want the last word? Because you’ve ceased making a point, since I pointed out how bad your study was, pointed out exactly how you are transphobic, and you shifted to ad hominem attacks. I can only assume you think you looked good in this debacle or that I will get exasperated pointing out how you could be less transphobic, but you didn’t and I won’t because I like my trans friends and I would do anything for them.

Do you have any trans friends, family, or coworkers? Do they know that you argue on the internet that they don’t deserve the medical care they need? I could speculate, but there’s no point. You are another transphobe in an insidious sea of transphobes, and I can only hope that they know of your hateful rhetoric.

U dont rly care do u?

Okay, transphobe, I’m glad your only excuse to discredited evidence is projection.

I do. I have many trans friends whose lives depend on their care. They have to listen to this shit way more than I do, to justify their existence as if being trans is something they chose to be. They didn’t.

People use the same words you’re using now to defend why trans people should not be allowed gender-affirming care that they and their doctors suggest they should have. It must only be coincidental that the words you say are the words spoken by transphobes.

Say that trans people should get the gender-affirming care they desire, that gender-affirming care is scientifically backed, and that trans rights are human rights, and I’ll take back that you’re a cowardly transphobe.

Typical transphobic coward. You refuse to defend the study, but you won’t admit it’s a bad study.

Will you argue you’re not transphobic? Because that would involve admitting that gender-affirming care and all it entails should be administered to any trans person that wants it. Otherwise, you do not care about the outcomes and health of trans people, at best, or want them to suffer, at worst.

I pointed out the studies flaws because you didn’t read it, can’t interpret it yourself, and are not a doctor. Here is a list of actual major medical organizations that suggest gender-affirming care for trans youth:

American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

American Academy of Dermatology

American Academy of Family Physicians

American Academy of Nursing

American Academy of Pediatrics

American Academy of Physician Assistants

American College Health Association

American College of Nurse-Midwives

American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists

American Counseling Association

American Heart Association

American Medical Association

American Medical Student Association

American Nurses Association

American Osteopathic Association

And if the WPATH didn’t find actual health benefits that outweighed the actual downsides for puberty blockers and hormonal treatments, then they fucking wouldn’t recommend them. This would be obvious to anyone that knew anything.

I did read the thing, and explained how they pointed out the bone density in the data, but obviously, you only read the second paragraph.

But, you’re right, I didn’t read the entire thing, so could you quote section 3.5 under Results for me, since I’m obviously unable to read? It’s the one that might be labeled “Bone health outcomes” if I could read. Assuming that I can’t read, and looking at the studies examined, it appears that the loss of bone density is pretty inconclusive, especially when hormones are taken earlier, but there were two studies that showed a minor decrease in bone density in transwomen when using puberty blockers, by a smaller margin than I had previously thought (you can read studies 21 and 22 so my illiteracy doesn’t affect you.)

Or would you like to quote the portion about Psychosocial and mental health under section 3.3? What the study shows seems to be that 4 of the 6 studies had some improvement (14, 15, 16, 17), though it should be noted that study 19 was about testing fucking brain activations (no decline in that!) and not about mental health, and study 18 was about initial reduction in symptoms from their first appointment, so really, 4 out of 4 studies showed an improvement.

Dipshit.

Imagine being this stupid. Well, I suppose you don’t have to.

Consider talking to a trans person and how they found their identity, or learning more about the ways gender identity is expressed or how gender influences society, or maybe just touch grass every once in a while instead of being a shitty person pretending to know something you clearly don’t.

Yes really. Your study suggests doing more studies, not that the effects were negative (because if they were, the conclusion would be no further studies.) At the end of the paper, it also pointed out newer studies not included in the 196 studies out of the 10,000 it pretends to have looked it that found the benefits did exist (nd even then, it really only looked at a couple dozen studies exhaustively).

The biases that your study shows are known, and fucking obvious to anyone that has talked to a trans person once in their lifetime: There aren’t many long-term studies. This is due to obvious reasons, like discrimination, lack of support, and higher chance of being murdered, which most people don’t want. The study also seemed to show that the bone density issue wasn’t as pronounced as some nay-sayers seem to think, but they bury that in the data analysis and hide behind a more hardline in the synopsis. Additionally, you can’t really do a randomized approach in this case because of fucking ethical concerns! Obviously!!! Randomly giving out hormones seems like a bad idea, both to people that want it and people that don’t!

But, you don’t really give a shit because you didn’t read the study, and also you hate trans people, and that’s what you actually care about.

Why does every major medical organization and over a million doctors disagree with you?
