Because I work for a living, and in addition I actually take the time to look things up before answering. Just because someone doesn't address something you said right away doesn't mean they are ignoring you.
My apologies. I work too. This is our first interactions. I have discovered there are many on this board who will not answer or will dodge the questions. I just get tired of it and will call it out anymore. My apologies if you weren't doing that.
the reason I was dismissive of the claim is because when I was younger it would not have even entered someone's head to perform a mastectomy on a young teenager. I'm obviously getting too old because my jaw almost hit the floor when I read in medical journals that such procedures had been done.
I'm not a doctor or gender therapist so I am uncomfortable inserting myself in someone else's medical care, but personally I think it's medical malpractice and shouldn't be legal.
Otherwise, unless they were buried in all the anti-trans rhetoric, I didn't see you ask me any questions.
Well on that we certainly agree. And that is what this thread is about. How kids are treated.
I'm not anti-trans. I know that those who have true dysphoria have a real issue. The problem is the true trans community have been overshadowed by transgenderism. Which has allowed those that do not actually suffer dysphoria to claim to be trans and then do things like go into women's space and expose themselves while claiming to be trans. I could go on. But I won't.
I want all those who think they might be trans to recieve the proper therapy. Especially everyone under the age of 18. Proper therapy would mean psychological therapies designed to get at the root causes as to why the child thinks they nay be trans. We have discovered that there are a lot of influences upon those under 18 and a lot of trauma, other mental health disorders, autism, even being gay that are involved. Yes, gay kids who transitioned because they thought they were trans.
I don't care if you are trans. It's your personal issue that you as an adult have have to cone to grips with and deal with. We all have things in our lives that are a struggle. Some definitely harder and more complicated than others. Yours isn't a minor or easy thing to deal with. As an adult you can deal with it as you see fit.
I'm not going to be baited into violating ToS by you. Suffice it to say very few people, even the worst neo-nazi's and klansmen, think of themselves as bigots. It doesn't mean they aren't it just means they lack self awareness
Or they aren't bigoted. Just because people don't agree with you doesn't make them bigoted. Just because people don't believe children should receive puberty blockers or hormones doesn't make them bigoted. I mean you don't agree with the mastechtomies and you aren't a bigot.
Its pretty hard to be a bigot when one is leaning on science and biology as evidence that men aren't women.
Believing that gender dysphoria is a mental health issue isn't bigoted at all.
