so this is pretty stupid and pointless but i was looking into some trans reproductive care legal stuff in australia specifically and found nothing at all about what i wanted but i found this stupid essay written by a terf petitioning to the NT government to pretty pwease keep transition illegal forever and i was reading it out of boredom and saw one of her points

and went hang on 20% is very very incorrect where is she getting that

a guardian article from 2004? well thats already not a good look but what does this article actually say

it said that up to 18% (which is not 20%) of post op trans people in 1998 in a study attempted suicide

they didnt say if they asked the trans people why they attempted suicide, they kind of just assumed it was dissatisfaction with surgery, also yeah this is ONLY about surgery theres no mention of HRT at all

also the same article has this at the end

#and i mean maybe it was you have to assume surgery was a lot less clean than it is today #can you imagine (im sure many people can bc it still happens) having to live your life after they fucked your shit up #theres no mention of whether these surgeries were botched or not #the essay im talking about is from at least 2018 btw i couldnt find an actual date but that was the most recent citation used #so like its literally so intentionally dishonest #when you go to that article btw theres a little flag that says “this article is more than 20 years old!”#like even the guardian is like hey this shits probably fuckin outdated
