Don't look at things objectively.  Cherry pick some "facts" to back up your ideology.  Then pass the laws you wanted all along.

Actually I was having a total ROFL session with another one of these "deliberately screw up science" things regarding the surveys that included de-transitioning / re identification's low low low levels.  The H8ers were saying how totally suspect those surveys were because the levels of regret were, to them, unbelievably low, and how regrets of other surgeries, such as hip and knees had so much higher levels.  To them there must me a conspiracy to fudge the numbers so more would be done and make doctors rich, or several other nefarious schemes.  When people are suspicious of why I am content and happy with life I do have the most malicious fantasies of showing them how evil I am just for even more fun.

Couldn't possibly be that we are actually happy.  Therefore we must be lying.

You can't win with these people.

Oh yeah, hormones cause cancer.... but VACCINES don't?  Smells like another BS coverup to me, only now trans folks are a convenient reason. 

 

As for breast cancer, it seems to me that although medical sources deny it, cancer risk is a bit increased when...you know, you actually have breasts. 🙄  Men can get it, but women get it more.  So, since trans women often experience natural breast growth, it makes since that their risk might increase.
