This article is actually a letter to the editor. However it puts forth a very good argument. The teens that go into the system for “”gender affirming care” perhaps have some outcomes better due to their intense ongoing relationship with the medical field....rather than the drugs and surgeries are being subjected to. Thus the placebo affect which even simple suggestion can lead to immense psychosomatic effects (upwards of 36%) compared to no such treatment.

Additionally, men have a higher tendency towards violence because of testosterone. Guess what? A female’s tendency to violence increases when she is given testosterone.
Unfortunately, a male’s tendency to violence is *not* correspondingly reduced by taken estrogen.
