(thread) I'm gonna be genuine for a second, because I know not everyone knows this and I don't wanna make fun of them for that- but if you see a #1 Barbie for sale and she looks like she's in good condition and is being sold for under $10,000, that's certainly NOT vintage or a #1
@SeanSemanko I can’t believe you liked Oppenheimer. That movie was so focused on feelings and interpersonal relationships, and it seems like you really hate when movies explore those concepts! Or maybe you didn’t see either movie? Bc the point of Barbie went right over your head dude.
@Tennesseine I’m working a seasonal position for the summer and brought four books with me and haven’t touched a single one, but I also decided to borrow three books from the local library 😂 I feel your pain!
The regret rate of gender-affirming surgery is 0.3%.
The regret rate for knee replacement surgery is 6-30%.
"Transition regret" is a false narrative being pushed by the media to prevent people from getting access to life-saving, gender-affirming healthcare.
However...
Let's address that 0.3%.
Many outside factors contribute to a trans person's regret:
👉Unsupportive families.
👉Transphobic environments.
👉Normal post-op distress.
Just because that 0.3% of people regret their surgery doesn't mean they're not transgender.
The fear of regret shouldn't stop thousands of trans people from getting access to the healthcare they deserve.
Regret rates exist - but not for the reasons the media are trying to push.
@imtiredtomorrow@frustratedtrash@DuncanHenry78@invisiontheleft@mindsci Yikes, that’s bad. I haven’t heard a lot about that, thanks for bringing my attention to it. I hope y’all understand that not all trans people are like that, but I understand why those things would cause uneasiness.
@imtiredtomorrow@frustratedtrash@DuncanHenry78@invisiontheleft@mindsci That makes sense as well! Based on that, just to make sure I understand, if you were a gay man you wouldn’t date a trans man because they’re biologically female? Would you then date trans women because they’re biologically male?
