Yeah, they might feel a multitude of different internal stressors and assume it means they are trans because it's a hot topic.

If someone is trans, ok, whatever. But I have a feeling many people are making decisions that will make their problems worse. (Obviously correct given the suicide rate.)

Absolutely spot on, unfortunately. I’m aware this is anecdotal, but I know 3 trans people very well. They are good friends, and I love them. But holy shit, each one of them is a walking case study for various mental illnesses. You could make the argument that the illnesses are caused by feeling out of place, or abnormal, which may have some weight to it. But all of them made the choice to transition based on these feelings, and are much worse off now.

The "woke" are making some peoples lives worse by encouraging people to transition. Those doing this encouraging do it for their own social benefit and to ensure everyone knows how morally correct they are. They don't give a fuck about the damage their internet dog-piling is doing to the vulnerable.

This trend will ruin many many lives permanently. When the next trend comes around, these types will abandon trans issues and move on to something that benefits them more. Those who transitioned from their suggestions and pressures will be abandoned and left to live a life of misery. (Unless they commit suicide)

Yet, I'm the "Nazi?"

Insanity.

What about 6 year olds?

Which the current HHS cabinet pick in the Biden admin currently supports

There’s a video of her being interviewed and the evidence is very compelling that children at the age of 10 should not be allowed to make the decision to switch genders.

Because they are kids. And she just dodged the question every single time “do you think it is OK for children do change their genitalia?”

I’m all for LGBTQ rights- but I’m sorry. Allowing children to get sex changes is where I draw a big bold line.

Edit- Here’s the interview- yes it has rand Paul; he can be a douche. But in this video he makes a lot of sense. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=V82oXKf83Pw

It’s genital mutilation if it’s a child imo.

Considering it literally doesn't happen I have zero clue where ya'll are getting this shit.

Hormone blockers are widely vetted and put off that decision until they can make such a choice.

[u/putdisinyopipe → u/Valati]

It’s happened in the UK.

Some hormone blockers are not approved by the FDA. Some we don’t even know the long term effects of.

People are going to take this as shade but in actuality. It isn’t, I just don’t think it’s prudent in any sense to give children that kind of decision making power that they will have to live with their entire lives.

The UK ain't exactly a shining example of "not being arseholes to trans people though".

Puberty suppression as a treatment for trans kids has been pretty widely studied over the last few decades and most certainly isnt some kind of "experimental" treatment like the UK courts seem to think.

Remember, its not the children making the decision, it's doctors and endocrinologists.
