@undoxxedwzrd @RonDeSantis coming out is a personal decision and you don’t need parental permission for it. your mom should sign a permission slip if you want to join the gay straight alliance? school is required to notify your parents if you put a rainbow flag on your backpack? lets just 1984 the kids
@undoxxedwzrd @RonDeSantis your argument is that we should avoid social transition because of the horrible potential consequences of future detransition
it turns out that these consequences are vanishingly, stunningly small
why should I care about them exactly?
@undoxxedwzrd @RonDeSantis social transition is definitionally not life altering. thats literally the entire point. you can try on a new name and pronouns and see if it feels right and if not you can go back to your old ones. what are you even talking about?
@undoxxedwzrd @RonDeSantis the detransition / regret rate among people who have had surgeries (your “horrible and permanent consequences” group) is less than 1%
less than knee replacements, hip replacements, and boob jobs. what are you even worried about
@undoxxedwzrd @RonDeSantis ok but your argument is that social transition is bad because the detransition rates are higher. now we’ve agreed that it’s actually not bad. since there’s no potential harm, you must not need consent
@undoxxedwzrd @RonDeSantis you do realize that what you’re posting SUPPORTS the idea of social transition
someone is able to explore an alternate gender identity in a low-risk, non medical way and determines they do not want to transition. of COURSE the detransition rates are higher. why is this bad??
@undoxxedwzrd @RonDeSantis the methodology in the cass report is utter garbage, not remotely reliable. there’s more evidence of slight benefit or simply neutral effects
you’re referring to outcomes *when medical transition follows* which you NEED CONSENT FOR. trying a new name does no material harm
@undoxxedwzrd @RonDeSantis also to be clear, I didn’t agree to any of your positions. you’re not walking anyone into anything, you’re just tripping on your own feet trying to justify freaking out over things that are not happening
@ChrisRamsey60 Can’t agree with that statement at all. You don’t think that distorts pricing and causes countless other issues? Thats like saying who cares if they raise the speed limit to 95, you can still go 65. Bad take.
@BeatrixdeSol@gorgo1149381@junker_jo not to mention this person is a “nutrition expert”
ostensibly she could be going a day if eating consuming only carbs and cheese
@BeatrixdeSol@gorgo1149381@junker_jo exactly. cheese and peanuts for lunch, “an egg” for dinner and we’re just going to pretend that these are normal meals with reasonable calorie counts?
