@EnarialP@Aaaaaahshley@Patrici21173633@JamesEsses Also, where did I say "nobody really needs it"? If you have to put words in my mouth to prove me wrong, then call me ignorant for a thing I never said, your argument may not be a very good one.
@EnarialP@Aaaaaahshley@Patrici21173633@JamesEsses ... we provide as we know it'll help them lead a more normal, fulfilling life.
And also, congrats! You disagree with James Esses and agree with me!
@EnarialP@Aaaaaahshley@Patrici21173633@JamesEsses They don't need it in the sense it won't outright kill them, no, but it helps with potential mental health and self-perception issues that'd lead them to live happier, healthier lives. If we take this to the extreme, almost no one who receives speech therapy *needs* it, but...
@EnarialP@Aaaaaahshley@Patrici21173633@JamesEsses "It's not irrational!" Says who, you? Well, I believe I'm not irrational and you are. Now what?
You also missed the point that the OP was complaining about people WILLINGLY PAYING for these services, so no drain on the NHS. It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation.
@EnarialP@Patrici21173633@JamesEsses So if you have to pay for speech therapy, it's commercialised, but if it's available on the NHS for free, it's appalling?
Nothing's ever good enough for you, is it?
@DuncanHenry78 Well, legally they can't MAKE you do either as that could potentially be forcing someone to declare a protected characteristic. It's about CONSENT.
Also, do you not see the irony in your argument here when you do, in fact, have "gay" in your bio?
