@soakupthesunman "there are no indigenous palestinians"
Reality:
The genetic similarity between ancient Canaanites, modern Israeli Jews, and modern Palestinian Arabs suggests a shared ancestry and connection between these groups.
Modern Jews have an ancient connection to the land of Canaan, as they have about half of their DNA from ancient Canaanites, indicating a mixed multitude and the possibility of many proselytes.
Modern Palestinians have half of their DNA from ancient Canaanites, which ties them to the land, even though Jews left the land for nearly 2,000 years.
The DNA studies support the claim that Palestinians are descended from ancient Canaanites, which may increase the Palestinian claim to the land.
The evidence suggests that Palestinians have significant genetic connections to Canaanite natives, but there was also genetic infusion from the Muslim conquests of Arabia, Egypt, and Africa.

@richardshortall5987 "Provide references, thanks"
OK:
Conversely, access to gender-affirming hormones in adolescence appears to have a protective effect. In one study, researchers followed 104 teens and young adults for a year and asked them about their depression, anxiety and suicidality at the time they started receiving hormones or puberty blockers and again at the three-month, six-month and one-year mark. At the beginning of the study, which was published in JAMA Network Open in February 2022, more than half of the respondents reported moderate to severe depression, half reported moderate to severe anxiety, and 43.3 percent reported thoughts of self-harm or suicide in the past two weeks.
But when the researchers analyzed the results based on the kind of gender-affirming care the teens had received, they found that those who had access to puberty blockers or gender-affirming hormones were 60 percent less likely to experience moderate to severe depression. And those with access to the medical treatments were 73 percent less likely to contemplate self-harm or suicide.
“Delays in prescribing puberty blockers and hormones may in fact worsen mental health symptoms for trans youth,” says Diana Tordoff, an epidemiology graduate student at the University of Washington and co-author of the study.

@mikesmith542 "We know for a fact that a large percentage of people who transition regret it later in life."
Reality:
Five years later, 94% of kids are still living as transgender
The Trans Youth Project looked at the so-called social transition between the ages of three and 12, with participants transitioning on average at age six and a half. Data was reported by parents and youth, either through in-person or online visits, or via email or phone correspondence.
The study looked at the gender identities of youth who transitioned, five years on.
The data, taken from 317 children across the US and Canada, finds that just 2.5% of transgender kids detransition to being cisgender. A further 3.5% of children retransition from identifying as binary transgender to nonbinary.
The data revealed that most youth, 94%, were living as binary transgender. There was also a small proportion of people, 1.3%, who retransitioned initially to cisgender or nonbinary – then switched back to binary trans identities.
