It’s almost like affirming the delusions of the mentally unstable doesn’t suddenly make them sane.

It’s certainly not like we didn’t have centuries worth of experience with Asylums to tell us that already.

2026 study published in the journal Acta Paediatrica titled "Psychiatric Morbidity Among Adolescents and Young Adults Who Contacted Specialised Gender Identity Services in Finland in 1996–2019: A Register Study."

​The study tracked a large cohort of over 2,000 adolescents who sought gender-related services in Finland and compared them to a control group of over 16,000 peers.

​Key Findings:

​High Initial Distress: Adolescents referred for gender identity concerns had significantly higher rates of severe psychiatric illness (such as depression and anxiety) compared to the general population before they ever reached a gender clinic (45.7% vs. 15.0%).

​No Decrease in Psychiatric Needs: The study found that psychiatric distress did not decrease after referral. In fact, more than two years after the initial referral, the rate of psychiatric morbidity rose to 61.7% in the gender-referred group.

​Outcomes of Medical Transition: For those who underwent medical gender reassignment (hormone therapy or surgery), the study reported that psychiatric needs increased markedly during the follow-up period rather than subsiding.

​Recent Trends: The research noted that adolescents referred after 2010 (when there was a significant surge in gender-related referrals) had higher levels of psychiatric needs than those referred in earlier years.

​Conclusions of the Authors:

​The researchers concluded that severe psychiatric morbidity is common among gender-distressed youth and remains high regardless of medical intervention. They suggest that medical transition does not appear to solve underlying psychiatric issues and emphasize the need for comprehensive psychiatric support for these individuals, rather than focusing solely on medical gender reassignment. ​The study is considered significant due to its large sample size and long-term tracking using Finland’s comprehensive national health registers.

If the group would realize that it is not normal to be in therapy at all times of your life, more red flags might go up.

Therapists have said that women do therapy much more often and needlessly and that men go when they are having a specific problem in their relationships and need tools and perspective. Sounds to me like more people need a father figure to model healthy life.

Liberalism = I Hate You, Dad

Yup. I remember some HBO documentary about a couple people doing this from years ago. One girl trying to become a man pretty much went as far as one could go with today's medical technology, the whole 9 yards, and was still unhappy.

And MANY are that way, even if they refuse to admit it. Then there's the other side of the trans coin, when it's for either reasons of deviancy or seen as a cure-all for men with extremely low self-esteem, or almost incel tendencies. "Girls will like me if I'm a girl" kind of crap.

Approx 40% attempt suicide after "gender affirming " butchering 🤡

I am not a psychologist, but I think people with severe mental illness need someone to challenge them, otherwise they will walk themselves off the cliff. Our brains need a balance of affirmation and adversity to thrive. If someone is mentally sick and the person they are bouncing their craziness off agrees with them all the time, it compounds their beliefs into delusion because no one has ever told them they are wrong for thinking a certain way. Then it all just spirals until the person either self-depletes or ends up on lifelong meds that don't resolve anything. Most people these days are afraid to tell Bill who wants to be a Joan that he is mentally ill and to seek help. Instead they put up a rainbow flag and celebrate pride with them, rather than have a difficult conversation.

Well yeah, if someone thinks they're a ostrich and the whole world decides to play along, of course that someone is going to continue thinking they're an ostritch. At what point are they supposed to stop and go "wait a second?" if everyone is treating them like an ostritch?

This study is incredibly damning to the entire "treatment" model. In the introduction, it talks about the comorbidity of depression and anxiety in these poor people (high) and the most telling- "10% had had a psychiatric hospital admission (22–24-fold PR) six months before documented transgender status".

So our weakened brethren, going through a crisis of fear and hopelessness, get funneled into transgenderism. It's not the mind that is ill, it is the body that is wrong, they say. And ultimately, selling the lie that it was God who made a mistake on them. Living this lie, they're encouraged to harm themselves further. Some to a point of no return, a place where death is preferable to life.

This is so sick. We need to pray for these people.

Lord, deliver us from evil and grant us peace in our days through your Son, Lord Jesus Christ. May your Face shine upon these lost souls and lead them to your comfort. May every tear be wiped from their eyes by Your tender Hand. We pray in the name of our Savior, the Great Physician Jesus Christ.

Of course this is something we all already knew. But now we have data to back it up.

They all seem so well-adjusted though?
