    Pretty typical for here to see a post with actual sources and instead of people doing their own research they instead want to downvote and dog-pile. You can be upset with the outcome but there are reasons behind it (and it’s not just them jumping on the trans bashing bandwagon, they outlined exactly why it was done and how it works for male-female transitions and vice versa)

      It’s not an “actual source”, it’s a shit source. N=16, really? Barely qualifies as a study.

      Providing a source doesn’t make a statement unchallengeable, especially if the source is deeply flawed.
