> Many trans men who go on testosterone report reductions in suicidality. If the theory is that gender dysphoria related to hormonal incongruence causes depression, then the data from trans women taking the medication supports the theory that cis men might really struggle with it.

This is a really weird argument because it gets so many basic facts wrong. The most fundamental of which is the idea that taking finasteride means lower testosterone levels - it doesn't!

And I'm not even going into the issues with all the other confounding variables at play here, such as the motivations and dosing schedules for HRT being substantially different from other uses of finasteride.

I really don't know why you're bringing up data about HRT for transgender people that's nearly a century old in an article that's not about HRT, when we have plenty of data that's not only far more recent but far more germane to the topic at hand.
