@Daniello_Gana@sonyasupposedly People take hormones and socially transition because these things ease their gender dysphoria. If there was another effective treatment, lots of people would be doing it. They're not, because there isn't.
@Daniello_Gana@sonyasupposedly Suicide rates are not higher after transition. You heard this somewhere and believed it because it is convenient and fits your ideological priors, but it is made up.
Gender dysphoria isn't "thinking about appearance" any more than phantom limb is.
@mrlodosm@terminallyOL There were plenty of gay people in the middle ages, as at all other times and periods. Why would someone deliberately exclude them for the sake of your feefees?
@Greguary133592 @CantEverDie@memeticsisyphus Transition makes people with gender dysphoria less likely to commit suicide, not more. Like antidepressants and depression.
Furthermore, earlier transition leads to better life and mental health outcomes.
Why do you want people to suffer for no reason?
@CrabbyBrundz@maxdubler Just wondering, does it feel good to stick your fingers in your ears and ignore the basic facts whenever they happen to be ideologically inconvenient? Seems like it'd feel nice.
@Beersteve @fcqv@memeticsisyphus Why are you skeptical of this widely-known fact? You know you don't have to give in to every kneejerk reflex you have, right?
@AP4Liberty@palibertarian00 Is "liberty" when the government decides what conditions doctors can and can't prescribe medical treatment according to the standards of care for?
@DeeSonoIo@woman4444@UltraFalstaff@miffythegamer You're right, you can't, which is why nobody does. That's not how it works. You've been lied to.
You can look up the diagnostic criteria in the DSM-V.
@DeeSonoIo@HeraldOfBelakor@UltraFalstaff@miffythegamer It is not, in fact, impossible to socially transition and take testosterone or estrogen. Millions of people do it, and live lives where they do not have to constantly dissociate from their body because of it.
You're more worried about a child being "entitled" than alive.
@DeeSonoIo@HeraldOfBelakor@woman4444@UltraFalstaff@miffythegamer *what if she's a tomboy"then she's not going to exhibit the symptoms of gender dysphoria or want to transition. Nobody goes "you like sports, you have to take testosterone".
Women who "aren't traditionally feminine" get harrassed in bathrooms by people like you.
@DeeSonoIo@HeraldOfBelakor@UltraFalstaff@miffythegamer The thing about being a parent is that the well being of your child is more important than ideology. I don't have a single belief I'd prioritize over keeping my son alive and not traumatized.
@DeeSonoIo@HeraldOfBelakor@UltraFalstaff@miffythegamer "Sorry, sweetie, I know being present in your body is making you dissociate and want to die, but I don't want you to get medical treatment because I find it ideologically inconvenient."
How does that help the kid suffer g from gender dysphoria lmao.
@UltraFalstaff@DeeSonoIo@miffythegamer Trans men don't think they grow a Y chromosome or whatever, this is a dumb semantic game. Calling someone "Mr" or "Ms" is a social thing, no more biologically linked than "ms" vs "Mrs".
Might as well yell at adopted kids about how their dad isn't their REAL dad.
@UltraFalstaff@DeeSonoIo@miffythegamer It's not bullshit, gender dysphoria really does have horrible effects on people. All of the people who have experienced it and who treat it aren't lying, you just don't want to believe it because it's inconvenient for you personally.
@woman4444@DeeSonoIo@UltraFalstaff@miffythegamer You are obsessive who spend hours every day retweeting right wing nonsense on the internet, I don't expect you to "back down" because I don't think you are engaging in good faith.
@woman4444@DeeSonoIo@UltraFalstaff@miffythegamer What I hwve said about hormone therapy, AGP, etc is factual and accurate. That's why you made no attempt to refute it beyond going "Nuh uh! 'and deflecting to tone policing.
