@Impossible_PhD I really dislike this. Not sure why.

@Impossible_PhD

A friend recently commented that she hoped the people she insulted and offended in 2023 would do better in 2024 so she didn't have to do it again.

Wow. This is actually pretty big news.

The first RCT trial for immediate access to HRT--testosterone to transmascs--has published its findings. In it, 52% of those given immediate access to testosterone had an **IMMEDIATE CESSATION** of their previously-present suicidal ideation, compared to 5% of those given a placebo. A treatment being *ten times* more effective than placebo is pretty much as decisive as it gets.

@Impossible_PhD do you have a link to the study? because i see nothing in that article that mentions a placebo, only a comparison between people who received T HRT immediately vs. people who continued to be stuck on waitlists

@Impossible_PhD I’m confused about why a placebo was used here. Wouldn’t pretending to give someone HRT be pretty unethical in this kind of research study?

@Impossible_PhD It's not a perfect cure here, but without it, I'd be even worse than I *am* and that's saying a lot (and yes, I know anecdote is not data)
