Wow. This is actually pretty big news.

The first RCT trial for immediate access to HRT--testosterone to transmascs--has published its findings. In it, 52% of those given immediate access to testosterone had an **IMMEDIATE CESSATION** of their previously-present suicidal ideation, compared to 5% of those given a placebo. A treatment being *ten times* more effective than placebo is pretty much as decisive as it gets.

How much difference should we expect between placebo and the (nonexistent) arm that got nothing? (The reason I'm asking is that I would expect that most participants could tell whether they were getting the placebo pretty quickly.)
