    I can testify to the fact that trans people share contact data of therapists who don't question them and just say yes to everything.
    Also I think these days a lot of people confuse personality with gender. The whole "you don't need dysphoria to be trans" is super dangerous and stupid.
    I guess we will find out the hard way in a few years if our way of treating kids who think they are trans was good or bad. I have a feeling that there will be a lot of people with regrets.

      I'm convinced that no trans person actually believes that you dont need dysphoria to be trans. Every trans person ive ever met has dysphoria; and the people ive known who said they dont have dysphoria, never actually started medical transition and just changed their prounouns for a few months or something. I know theres probably people online who genuinely believe that but I dont think its something thats turning into a problem. Theres always going to be outliers but i dont think that justifies extensive medical gatekeeping when not all trans people have the same 'textbook' experience of dysphoria.

    I honestly think that the slogan “trans women are women” caused a lot of unnecessary problems in the trans discourse. A slogan like “trans people are real” would’ve been so much more capable of bringing normies on board for trans rights. Another issue is having this trans umbrella that includes non binary people and that just confuses normies because they don’t care enough to educate themselves on the differences between binary transsexual and non binary transgenders because it’s “too confusing” and gives bad faith actors the opportunity to prop up bearded they/thems. as “look at these crazy transes thinking they’re the same as a biological woman”. Also the left needs to face some hard truths like the fact that there is such a thing as social contagion because look at all the detransiotioners that have come out in the last year. But no, the left pretends they either don’t exist or they’re all right wing grifters or whatever.

    "Do you realize that puberty bloclers have been used to stave of puberty for 40 50 years"
    Yes however it was typically prescribed to children with genetic anomalies where a 8 year old starts going through puberty NOT normal kids who have a typical development. A HUUUUUUUUUUUGE difference. The 8 year old going through puberty can mess up their growth plates at a young age and cause massive developmental issues when they should normaly go through puberty ergo why they have to stop the early puberty until an appropriate age.

    To cut past the circlejerk of "well I've read X amount of studies":
    The reasons we don't have research for kids being on puberty blockers for decades is because
    1. They might still be ongoing
    2. The use case is usually for kids who are going through puberty too early or for hypothyroidism
    3. Having kids be on them for decades is _really really new_ . Everything about transgenderism is new, we don't have enough years of research yet.

    I actually despise the idea that inaction in the face of such an overwhelming lack of concrete information surrounding a topic is "evil".
    It's so disingenuous to suggest that a person is beyond redemption because they believe that a mental illness warrants hesitation and some hefty pushback.
    It doesn't matter how wrong you think they are. This is quite literally the most complicated topic that society faces right now, because it requires a scientific explanation for a series of feelings and results in sketchy treatment for children, two things that no person in their right mind would immediately embrace, ESPECIALLY when the research only spans maybe two decades. It might actually be the case that you're causing children more harm by further ostracizing the parents.

      It doesnt even stack up. The pro trans side of the debate will argue:
      1) if you dont transition people they will end their life, so medical treatment should be given to ALL to 'save lives'
      2) 'people have always existed'
      This tactic then puts blood on the oppositions hands (an emotional appeal and smear through false culpability), and then accuses them of transphobia if you disagree about the number of trans people there have been (again, having debate shut down following ad hominem attacks).
      The issue with that is that, if it were true that the volume of children who call themselves trans now always existed in all prior generations, then you would have seen millions of child/teen suicides in the past. We do not see this, so it doesnt stack up.

Suicide rates of teens/children could be increasing for many reasons today; I don't think anyone reasonable is making the claim that most teens committing suicide today are doing so because they're trans. In fact, since the actual population of trans people is very small relative to the total population, their suicides have probably always been a relatively small proportion of total child/teen suicides (something like 1% of teens "identify" as trans today). That's all to say that we have no real way of knowing how many child/teen suicides 100 years ago were because of gender dysphoria, and to assert that trans people didn't exist because we didn't see as many child/teen suicides in the past seems like a big leap in logic to me.

    Great creep spread! When going up against a terran who turtles this much with ghost mech, I think you need to 1) take as many bases as possible to offset the fact that he will have better army efficiency. 2) You have to keep attacking the weak bases. Never just attack into his army, even though it can get very frustrating playing against this style. Thats how you lose all your army supply in one fight. Instead, keep pivoting from one base to the other in order to force him to unsiege his tanks and libs. But most importantly: Take as many bases as possible and immediatly retreat when you think you are running into his sieged up main army next to his static defense.

    Here's the other side minus the trolling, and memes. We believe Trans people are real. We don't deny their existence. We believe Trans people should have the same rights as everyone else. We believe Trans people deserve the same respect anyone else has. ....
    What we don't agree with is the imposition. You create a new term out of nowhere and demand people to use it, no matter how many times you change it. We don't agree that the word woman should be replaced with "People with the capacity for pregnancy" We don't believe the word mother should be replaced with "Birthing persons".
    We also believe if a woman says she feels uncomfortable undressing in a public place with a male with his genitals intact who happens to identify as a woman, we should hear the biological woman out. Why is it you feel women's voices should be heard...unless it conflicts with someone who identifies as a woman Instead of being born one.
    We also disagree with the moral blackmail attempts by trans activists that say we either agree with you, or our disagreement leads to trans death. It's a disgusting thing to do. The phrase "A live daughter, or a dead boy" is beyond reprehensible and it's a phrase doctors use to scare parents into dangerous surgery we have yet to fully understand.
    And lastly, the idea that we have quadrupled the number of trans kids in the past almost decade is because they were afraid to come out to an unwelcoming world and it has nothing to do with, or very little to do with social contagion is an outright lie.
    In order to fully support the trans community we have to set up a series of lies to make them feel comfortable. If a person has to lie and ignore reality to make you feel better then you're the problem, not us.
    I truly feel bad for the members of the trans community who realize the trans activism has gone too far. But you need to talk to your community because they are undoing a lot of goodwill that was very much earned. Now it's gone nuts.

      Even for the adults that I think should be able to transition however they want, I don’t support and don’t think it’s a good idea. A lot of folks might cheer you on in Internet forums, etc for transitioning but as soon as it comes to dating or marrying a trans person, they will throw all that virtue signaling out the window and not see you as a “real” man or woman.
      I personally see the “conservative” position as tough love. As they will prepare you for a world that people will pretend that gender is this malleable thing but will quickly shift to seeing gender as rigid when it impacts their own lives (dating/marrying).

    About puberty blockers taken between ages between 13-mid twenties when many trans people complete their transition causing infertility I think looking at steroid users experiences with issues of infertility can be used as examples. The reason many men become infertile and never recover their natural hormone levels is because their testicular atrophy leads to permanent changes to the testicles. This leads to a life time of external hormone use and seems like it is comparable to stopping any growth when the genitals are supposed to.

      There's no such thing as "delaying" puberty. Puberty ends between ages of 16 and 25. If you have X years of puberty and you delay Y years, then you have X-Y years of puberty.
      Another thing that is astounding is that there are no studies of blockers with control groups. When studying effects of every treatment subjects are divided into 2 groups: one that receives the treatment and one that doesn't, and then group averages are compared and efficacy is determined. There isn't even one study like this for blockers.
      And yet another issue that studies on transition have an average follow up of 2 years. That's nothing. Of course first couple of years reports will tend to be positive. What is important is what happens 10-15 years down the line.

Clearly, this wasn’t a problem we had a few years ago. Interestingly, this hasn’t been an issue with male patients, as they’re percentage maintained (about 0.5%) and they almost never selected female back when there was only 1 field for gender/ sex.

    I really wish that I could talk to you. I'm a conservative, and I was raised by two gay Dads and a single Mom, all of them conservatives, and I truly do care for trans people and trans issues, and wish that not all conservatives would be painted with a brush of ignorance. I believe that these people are God's children as well, and should be treated with love and respect. I think that if the age of consent is sixteen in some parts of the states, then sixteen year olds should be able to make that choice if they want to transition, to save them from a rough puberty. But I also believe that the screening process should be a little more rigorous.
    We love you, Destiny.

      Its a problem that people do the brush stroking of conservatives. The big issue is that many of the conservative politicians today are openly anti-trans, and many red states are trying to pass laws against trans people. Yet they consistently keep getting elected by their base, despite the majority of the base itself disagreeing with the policies they are currently pushing.
      Until the base stops voting these extreme conservatives in, they will get some of the blame for their representatives' actions.

    While there hasn't been a lot of studies on this, I can't remember the exact number I think is like 12 or 13, desistance rates among minors is really high. Even the most recent study on this published in 2021 showed 51% of minors desisting and only 37% persisting, 12% the study lost contact with and were not able to follow up with. This was when there was no affirmative treatment. When affirmative treatment was given, even just social transitioning, persistent rates increased significantly the greater the treatment the greater the increase in the rate of persistence. While this is a single study that looked at changes in desistance rates from administration of affirmation treatment so the amount of data is crap. Desistance rates for minors has been studied since the 1960s and they have all found a major desist after puberty. If we are going to look at studies with limited and crappy data and say HRT and puberty blockers helps trans kids mental health I think we also have to accept limited and crappy data and say treatment for minors means we are going to give kids that would have desisted a life long struggle with gender dysphoria and all the studies we do have say that the number we are going to give a life long struggle to are going to be more than the number of kids that need the treatment.
    So to the compassionate individuals who empathize with the pain and struggles of trans individuals, would you condemn 1 or 2 cis individuals to become permanently transgender and suffer all that pain and suffering for a lifetime just to treat one transgender individual a few years earlier? If so, how is it ethical to cause a majority number of people life long pain to prevent anywhere from 6 to 13 years of pain for a minority of people?

My issue is whether it is fine to give it to an otherwise healthy child with a regular puberty essentially stunting their physical development during a very important stage. A stage of development during which the child is very confused and not really in a state to make permanent life altering decisions. Why the fuck can't these jokers take this question seriously?

    We are pulling the rug out on a foundational part of identity, to a certain degree. Being a boy/girl is something the vast majority of human beings for the entirety of history has been able to establish at an extremely young age. To present a fluidity to something that foundational for kids at a time when identity is somewhat precarious anyway risks damaging more children than actually benefit.
    It’s a matter of being concerned about more than just the ones you’re trying to help. Kids are impressionable and vulnerable by their nature. That goes for all kids. And it’s fair to question why issues of self harm have increased dramatically at the same time we have adopted some of these seemingly radical identity concepts.

    part of this discussion suggests to me that we are trying to create an ‘ideal’ human condition, such in the case of early or late development when chemicals are dispensed to ‘correct’ an ‘abnormal’ situation … what is ‘ideal’? whose place is it to define what should be the ‘norm’? and are we justified in forcing an ‘ideal’ onto others, especially if the person either cannot consent and/or doesn’t fully understand the consequences of these therapies? and does this form an uncomfortable bridge into genetic therapy either prior to conception or in utero? one could call such genetic alterations eugenics, which is a concept we’ve worked hard to disavow and make obsolete. and now some want to bring it back, in a similar way as segregation and racism being used in the struggle against bigotry - it becomes hypocritical at some point, and people don’t see the irony.

    I'm just going to stick with the Taoist interpretation on this whole topic. Many people have lost their sense of identity because they have become overly focused on external factors such as their roles, labels, and possessions. True identity is not something that can be found by searching for it, but rather by letting go of the search and being present in the moment, quieting the mind, and letting go of our thoughts and beliefs about ourselves. By doing so, we can access a deeper level of understanding and connection with ourselves and the world, and live a more authentic and fulfilling life.
    I'm sure I'll get hate from pro-trans people from this take, but I don't really care what random strangers on the internet want to say about my beliefs. It appears to me that foundational to the belief that being trans, that you MUST believe in what is effectively a soul, or that you are a little being locked up in a bag of skin that you never chose. People en masse have bought into the idea that we are somehow separate in a real sense from the universe, "A stranger and afraid in a world we never made". Which essentially leads me to the conclusion that these people are just confusing the world as it is with the world how it is described, talked about, and figured about.

      @@natestevens8951 To be fair it's not just trans people that this refers to, but in order to hold a belief in being transgender you necessarily must believe that you are something different from your body (not necessarily the case with transsexuals). This belief is also shared by other people religious and otherwise.
      But yes, I could have just written "people are confused" without justifying or explaining the stance any further and just let people make their own assumptions off my beliefs rather than explain it.

    If the outspoken pro trans community would take the nuanced approach that Taftaj has there would not be this extreme blow back.
    I think the vast majority of adults agree that there needs to be better care available, including talk therapy, hormone therapy with careful monitoring, and improvement to surgical interventions.
    The person that spoke about their experience as a young person that said hormone therapy solved their problems was very easy to feel bad for. The problem is if every kid that anyone thinks may be trans is just given hormone therapy the majority of those people will grow out of it and many will have changes to their bodies that can't be reversed. The detrans men and women can also have extremely sad stories and higher suicide rates than the general population.

    Which specific treatment should be used for a specific diagnosis should always be at the discretion of each individual patient and their doctors.
    Imagine if people just randomly started piping up about wether an emergency colonoscopy is indicated for a lower GI bleed. It is a controversial issue with a lot at stake and affects way more people than gender dysphoria.
