A classic in the genre of medical disinformation. 👇
A new JAMA study uses surveys to assess regret among those who received hormones as teens.
42.5% did not return the surveys.
The authors nevertheless conclude that regret was “rare,” without acknowledging the 42.5% non-response in the limitations, and their conclusion is that gender Rx should not be restricted for youth (a non-sequitur). JAMA, apparently, sees this as worthy of publication.
The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) then uncritically reports the new study’s findings, also without any mention of the 42.5%.
This study will almost certainly be citation laundered, cited again and again in medical literature, media coverage, and legislative hearings, until its “findings” become “well-established truth.”

How many people usually return surveys? And don’t you think the patients with regret would be MORE likely to return a survey?
Fuck you.
Posting links doesn’t imply agreement. This is the sort of thing that shows up in many people’s news feeds. Will this persuade people one way or another? Should it?
