  1. @Jack Smith The David Reimer case is a notable example. Look into it. Then there are the many children who have their anatomical sex surgically reassigned as an infant or even before birth using hormones. Sometimes they do this to make hermaphrodites conform to the norm. But they have also done it to prevent homosexuality. They even do it in so-called hermaphrodites to prevent homosexuality. For example if a boy is born with a p_nis deemed too small, more like an enlarged clit, it's regarded as a result of insufficient masculinisation due to some condition like adrenal hyperplasia (some forms of which can femininze males) which has long been known to also cause homosexuality. So, the doctors will intervene to prevent the feared homosexuality by either performing surgery to make the infant appear to be female, often without the knowledge of the parents, or will intervene by interferring with the hormones during fetal development. I have the published standards of care by a pediatrician society which actually advise to do this without the parents knowledge on the basis that telling the parents the truth tends to increase verbal, mental/psychological, and physical and/or even sexual abuse of such children due to them being perceived as "freaks" or "homosexual" or somehow "defective" by parents and others who find out about this. So, they keep it a secret. This was the standard of care up until around 2015. Since then the practice was supposed to end but the catholic church still condones similar practices (presumably through the many hospitals it owns). Look into what the catholics believe about intersex children. They believe only the doctor has a right to decide what the gender identity of such children is or should be. So, they encourage doctors continuing to perform sex reassignment procedures on babies deemed a high risk of becoming homosexual. I should point out it's debateable whether many "homosexuals" are actually the sex they appear to be. Many might actually be the opposite sex. Many of the people who have had their sex reassigned would habe probably ended up straight but now they appear to be gay and are believed to be gay because nobody knows the truth about how their sex was reassigned. They are casualties in a religious war against homosexuality. Can you imagine the hell these people have endured and are continuing to endure as a result of homophobia? These people have had their lives stolen. Talk about stolen identities...

  5.  @cosmosreality222  I don't think it's possible to be unbiased where this topic is concerned. I mean studies can be unbiased but it's simply to be expected that some studies will support transitioning while others won't due to the facts of statistics, for the same reason a coin will land heads up on some tosses and heads down on others, unless the study is designed to eliminate such randomness or bias of the researchers. Aside from that, people have biases where this topic is concerned. They tend to have beliefs which either allow for and support transitioning while others don't. These two groups of people will then latch onto the studies which support their beliefs.

  6.  @cosmosreality222  The reason I say it's impossible to be unbiased is because people are either raised to believe it's wrong or not. Some of the people raised to believe it's wrong rebel against their indoctrination for various reasons. For example, because they may be LGBT or maybe because they have friends who come out as LGBT. Those who aren't raised to believe it's wrong may be persuaded to believe it's acceptable by the various forces encouraging acceptance. But where do these forces come from? I'm guessing they ultimately come from the LGBT community or supportive friends and family of LGBT people. Many of the scientific studies which shape public opinion on transgenderism are done by people with biases.

  7.  @robbybiddle9236  Something else to consider is although a community may be tolerant or even supportive of transgenders the fact is this does not mean transwomen are accepted as women or that transmen are accepted as men. Often they are regarded as different. Many mtf's who transition simply aren't satisfied with the results because they do not "pass". Even those who do pass suffer complications from surgery. For example, implant rejection, scar tissue, fistulas (holes developing between the neovagina and rectum), etc. Many mtf's who get bottom surgery find their neovagina closes up the same as an ear piercing will because they fail to "dilate" frequently enough. These complications can drive them to suicide.
