@Listening_Boy@ScorchedHorizon@acefreezies@ConSelfOwns Well, I want to be 6'5 and have everyone relinquish their firstborn to me. They may want a cock and balls, but nature had other plans. If you get one with surgery, for the state that science is at rn, it still won't be the same. You can't fully change sex.
@GraveInformer@kanrei_tanuki@ScorchedHorizon@acefreezies@ConSelfOwns I've explained what I meant in enough detail in my previous comments, a lot of which you directly replied to. If there's something you need clarification on, ask instead of just repeating you don't get it.
@GraveInformer@kanrei_tanuki@ScorchedHorizon@acefreezies@ConSelfOwns It's not a hangup. You can't force someone to believe something they don't. I respect y'all as human beings but I don't have to agree with your belief system. And yes, it is a belief system as it is very controversial in the scientific community and it's not objectively true.
@GraveInformer@kanrei_tanuki@ScorchedHorizon@acefreezies@ConSelfOwns You people are reacting very childishly and aggressively to my comments, while I'm out here saying I respect your opinions and I'll still call you with your preferred pronouns even though I don't agree with your worldview. That's a bad look for the trans community.
@GraveInformer@kanrei_tanuki@ScorchedHorizon@acefreezies@ConSelfOwns Also being an immature fuckwit and reacting violently to a person who's not insulting anyone does not help your case. Almost everyone in these comments is reacting like a butthurt 14 year old and it really makes your community look bad.
@Sasooli@ScorchedHorizon@acefreezies@ConSelfOwns I'm not saying I'm expecting her not to do it, all I'm saying is I don't really get it and I don't know how much the scientific literature supports it. If someone were to address me as a woman I wouldn't feel hurt, I'd just be confused. With that said, everyone should do what-
@StevenGrahamTWS@acefreezies@ConSelfOwns I'm glad you weren't as toxic as everyone else in this thread and you tried having a civil discussion. I'm not trying to hurt or offend anyone, just looking to explore a topic and offer my view on things. Thanks, I'll look into it and see what I find
@V13Enby Sexual orientation and gender are very different things, you should know. But gender dysphoria hasn't really been documented that much, and I've seen lots of people believing they were trans and then regretting the transition. It's mental state and a belief, not objectivity.
@V13Enby Not abused and groomed, conditioned. If just entertaining the possibility triggers you so much, maybe there's something there. Still, I'll do some research and see what the science says about it, I wouldn't mind being convinced by real evidence that I'm wrong.
@StevenGrahamTWS@acefreezies@ConSelfOwns I respect that, and that's why I support the community despite my beliefs. I believe that gender dysphoria is way more complex than "my gender and sex don't match up", and it's a sort of defence mechanism for trauma, anxiety and self-loathing, i'll do more research.
@V13Enby I simply believe gender dysphoria is something that happens in response to trauma and a way for the brain to interpret and internalise cognitive dissonances with how the world interprets gender. It's not a thing that happens in a void, nor a thing the brain does naturally.
@V13Enby You don't have to justify your existence to no one. You are what you are, and I'll use the pronouns you want me to use out of respect. But that doesn't mean I HAVE to get it or HAVE to agree with it.
