Thats an insane model of how trans medicine works pushed by fascists. You don't know what you're talking about.
And you get hormones no matter what, unless you take puberty blockers. The issue with trans kids is that their bodies make the wrong ones for them. They always regret it. Many kill themselves over it.
"Trans kids should have to overcome a bunch of hurdles to access necessary treatment" doesn't sound that supportive to me.
Calling the natural variety of combinations of gender and sex "a mental disorder" doesn't strike me as particularly supportive either. Do you consider homosexuality to be a mental disorder?
This is a crash out.
Historically, the gay community endured widespread social condemnation, often framed in the language of deviance, mental illness, and a threat to societal norms.
Homosexuality was classified as a psychiatric disorder by the American Psychiatric Association until 1973. This pathologization served as a justification for discrimination in employment, housing, and public life.
You have to be purposely blind to miss the parallels with the struggles and pains that trans people face today
Now you're cool with gay people, but remember how up until quite recently, not even medical professionals accepted it? Because you're on the wrong side of the fence when it comes to trans people, you just haven't caught up.
These seem like they are the opinions someone who has no lived experience to back up their views, but I’ll just stick to pointing out that WHO don’t consider transsexuality as a mental order - so you need to preface your statement with “it is my opinion…” That way we can all think to ourselves “who gives a fuck about this guys stupid opinion” and scroll on.
The hell are you talking about? You’re too online.
I'm talking about the fact that trans people are at an extreme risk in this current administration. I'm talking about the fact that I said that trans people need to hunker down and hide because the government literally wants to exterminate them.
I'm talking about you arguing against this because you think that trans people rising up will change things. But if trans people listened to you, they'll die.
You're literally advocating for the death of most trans people.
Edit: I might have fucked up and thought you were another person arguing that trans people should martyr themselves instead of hiding.
What the hell are you talking about?
smh
Yeah, that's my bad. I didn't think that multiple people were advocating for trans people to self exterminate.
Self extermination = fighting for your right to exist
Love & Support = It's all in your head, just take your meds bro
Lmao. Pay more attention to who you’re talking to.
Right? Fuck me for admitting I made a mistake. Might as well target trans people now since that's what people think of me.
Like you ever had any other intention.
Wild edit after such a rant.
Yeah, fuck me for admitting a mistake, right?
Hey where did any of that actually come from? I’m reading this thread and no one said that. You’re just pulling shit out of your ass.
In case anyone was harboring any illusions at all that this guy knows what he's talking about.
Hey there. Let’s calm down. Have a glass of water and lie down for a bit.
What in the fuck are you talking about.
You think there were people pretending to be gay because it was trendy?
If that’s how your brain works I guess you’re bi? Attraction is physical, no?
Body dysmorphia is a symptom of the underlying condition which IMO are yet unclassified forms of NCAH. It’s not a delusion or a mental disorder or whatever the fuck you’re inferring with your vile rhetoric. Their developing brains in the womb are exposed to spiking cortisol, low basal cortisol, high androgens and female hormones. This is why they’re often bendy and autistic too. (And all the other things in this cluster - hyperactive, hypersensitive, hyper-reactive, hypermobile & immunological)
