April 2024 study possibly being included?

[edit]

Study on Cureus/Springer Nature[1] and on NIH/PubMed[2]

From the abstract: "This study evaluates the risk of suicide or self-harm associated with gender affirmation procedures."

"Methods This retrospective study utilized de-identified patient data from the TriNetX (TriNetX, LLC, Cambridge, MA) database, involving 56 United States healthcare organizations and over 90 million patients."

"Conclusion Gender-affirming surgery is significantly associated with elevated suicide attempt risks, underlining the necessity for comprehensive post-procedure psychiatric support."

This can either be added as a very recent and WP-approved 2024 scientific source to the suicide claims or perhaps a sentence reiterating the findings of the latest study.

JAMA article "Prevalence of Gender-Affirming Surgical Procedures Among Minors and Adults" in the US:

[edit]

This article in them, based on this article in JAMA reports that about 60% of gender affirming surgeries for adults in the US are "chest related" with the figure for minors an even higher 96%.

About 24% of adult gender affirming surgeries are breast reduction, and 80% of those breast reduction procedures are performed on cis-males. Among minors, 97% of breast reduction surgeries were performed on cis-males.

I'm not sure what it the best way to incorporate this into the article, but it would seem to be a good addition. As the JAMA article says "...these findings suggest that concerns around high rates of gender-affirming surgery use, specifically among TGD minors, may be unwarranted."

Possible merge?

[edit]

Hi everyone. I'm wondering if it's possible to do a three to one merge. I'm looking at gender-affirming surgery (male-to-female), gender-affirming surgery (female-to-male), and the current page. Is there a reason they are separate? An option is to have the first two be sections in the overarching gender-affirming surgery page - that way, the page gets updated with more information and references. What do people think?

Nullification of Non Binary individuals with sources in a Body Modification article

[edit]

Hello. I unfortunately don't have access to the source material mentioned related to Nullification surgery for Non Binary individuals (born with penis or clitoris, both are mentioned), but I did find it quite offensive that this information is mixed in an article about "Body Modification", as broad as genital piercings to FGM, yet not here. So I brought you the direct link (I know it says "emasculation" but it does have a little information of what the article refers as "nullo"(?).) I hope it helps to increase the very little information regarding gender affirming surgeries for Non Binary individuals. Thank you very much! 186.34.109.70 (talk) 04:40, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect References

[edit]

References 15, 17, and 68 appear to be incorrectly used in the "Quality of Life" section. I could not find the cited information in those articles. Crswong888 (talk) 05:40, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 26 October 2024

[edit]

Some trans people have health conditions including diabetes, asthma, and HIV. This statement assumes a higher prevalence of HIV among trans individuals compared to other groups, yet this is not supported by conclusive scientific evidence or reliable citations. Such assertions can perpetuate harmful stigma and should therefore be excluded or carefully substantiated with reputable sources. Thank you Francescomp04 (talk) 01:10, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing this out, I can see how it might be read that way. I've reworded it to make it clearer that HIV is a factor in treatment rather than being correlated with transgender people. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 01:46, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
