"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"
Welcome to MoG!
Meanwhile On Grad
Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether it be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users, as it handwaves their extremism.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post, rather than engaging in arguments that lack mutual agreement.
Brigading/Trolling — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from maliciously voting, commenting, or manipulating the post in any way. This includes alt accounts. All votes are public, and if you are found to be brigading, you will be banned. Good-faith and honest communication is an exception.
Tankies can explain their views, but may be criticised or challenged for them. Any minor infraction of the rules may result in a warning and possibly a temporary ban.
You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically last only 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction doubles the duration. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

Nope. But then again I didn't have to suffer the holocaust to say the Nazis are evil. We can and I would argue are morally required to have opinions on things that effect people other than ourselves. That's kinda one of the main outcomes of empathy.
But i am one of the people i was talking about
Gender dysphoria is terrible
I don't doubt that. I think as an adult u should have the right to do whatever the fuck you want with your own body.
I just don't think that children have the mental capacity and development to make such a decision. I've also read (yes peer reviewed papers) that hormone therapy has a statistically insignificant effect on suicide rates or depression for underage people. As such I see no additional risk in delaying any hormonal treatment until someone is an adult capable of making that decision themselves.
May I ask, did u receive hormonal treatment as a child? If so how did it effect you psychologically? If not are you an adult now and decided to undergo such treatment?
I don't put much value on qualitative data but would be interesting to hear nonetheless.
