@ConservFurry99 Why am I not surprised that medical decisions concerning minors should be up to you, instead of the parents of the minor(s) and involved medical professionals.
Are you a "Let the state decide", voter while also standing in opposition to government overreach?
Hypocrisy?
@ConservFurry99@obsidian_doggo Retention of traditional values is a waste of time and effort if your values are a dumpster fire.
Tradition doesn't automatically equal good.
@KalosCrusader25 @ConservFurry99 Also, they're not all synthetic. Some are and others are not. Either way, if the chemistry is a heterochiral match, the source becomes less relevant unless the distillation process has other unused waste products of concern.
@KalosCrusader25 @ConservFurry99 Long term studies on cross-sex hormones with respect to their effect on bone health and/or mineralization (osteoporosis and/or osteopenia) are still in their infancy. I am also eager to learn more as such studies continue.
@KalosCrusader25 @ConservFurry99 Those hormones are easily replaceable through pharmacological means.
The permanent surgical changes are not, which is why I'm both supportive and skeptical about such permanent changes.
Standards on this should be very strict and also subject to multiple assessments.
@KalosCrusader25 @ConservFurry99 I was writing about electroencephalographic studies as they can relate to genuine gender dysphoria and/or gender dysmorphia.
I am -not- excluding cases of autogynephilia and/or autoandrophilia, which are also real things.
@KalosCrusader25 @ConservFurry99 There are EEG studies that confirm genuine gender dysphoria cases for people who either have or do not have DSD's. There are also other people who just want controversy and attention and that's just lame.
@ConservFurry99 That's not what DEI is. It's a lot more complicated and intricate.
And yes, if DEI companies engage in the way you're referring to, which is an inaccurate representation of DEI, that can be a result.
@ConservFurry99 You seem to be under the misapprehension that the LGBT community is 100% unified under one moniker.
That's not the case.
This is a scenario where a loud minority seems to resonate on behalf behalf of a larger minority.
Don't paint with that broad a brush.
@ConservFurry99 Depending on jurisdiction in the US:
Right to engage in some legally binding contracts.
Inheritance rights.
Custody rights.
Preliminary power of attorney rights.
Some health proxies.
Property rights.
Some employment rights.
The Defense of Marriage Act helped to some degree.
@ConservFurry99 But don't get me wrong. While not all of those in the alphabet moniker are about the same issue, the 'B' doesn't stand for Black. That doesn't mean the the LGBTQIA+ community is anti-black just because it's not represented in that abbreviation.
