Trans ACLU Attorney to Justice Alito: ‘There Is No Evidence in Those Studies that [Gender Affirmative Treatments] Reduces Completed Suicide’

‘And the reason for that is completed suicide thankfully and admittedly is rare’

EXCERPT:

STRANGIO: "What I think that is referring to is there is no evidence in some -- in the studies that this treatment reduces completed suicide. And the reason for that is completed suicide, thankfully and admittedly, is rare and we're talking about a very small population of individuals with studies that don't necessarily have completed suicides within them. However, there are multiple studies, long-term longitudinal studies that do show that there is a reduction in -- in suicidality which I -- I -- I think is a -- is a positive outcome to this treatment."
