It is important to read the entire study, not just they parts that support your opinion.  One study does not make a consensus because if you read the entire study you would know there is very limited data on this subject at the time of publications, the studies involve very small sample sizes, and there are significant differences from one study to another.

For example . . .


Then there is the question of . . .


The APA removed Gender Identity Disorder from DSM V after this study was published.  That was to stress not every transgender person has dysphoria.  This raises the question how many of the 324 "transsexuals" would even be included in this study if it were conducted today?

They aren't spinning the truth, others are spinning the results to support a preconceived agenda.

Really the only true take away from this study is that we need to be really careful not to draw false conclusions or misuse the information for inappropriate purposes.

Only in this forum can folks try so hard to dismiss an intensive study that shows the ineffectiveness of reassignment surgery. I could scrub the study and find numerous examples; however the conclusion, written by those that conducted the study, is what it is, no matter how many trees some try to point to because they are unhappy with the conclusion.

The APA removing a label from something means absolutely nothing except to those that look for labels. The cause and effect of the condition remain unchanged and this study shows reassignment surgery is not a successful alternative. All critics can point to is "We don't know what happened if they had not had the surgery"

You asked for a study and one was provided, now you dismiss it in part. because it is only one study and point to sample size. Kinda hard to please.
