OT "I'm Dealing With A Few Transgender Issues"

I vote for this toxic thread to get locked. We've already lost one transgendered forum member here...let crandc start a thread in support of this community instead of this one that's sole purpose is to cast doubt upon transgendered people....threads have been locked for less around here and this is not the first time I suggest locking this thread.

 

Why? I posted a legitimate vid wherein the gay guest has some legitimate questions surrounding trans-related topics. It's certainly discussable.

 

So, let's discuss. You posted the video, can you find the sources to support the claims on said video?

Otherwise it's not really discussable, thereby counterproductive.

 

Somewhat addressed by Megyn's guest, will a "majority" of kids who claim to be trans actually change their minds at some point? If so, it would be a pretty big deal if they already had the puberty blockers, sex reassignment surgery, et al.

There's more than just one legitimate question, though. This is a few years old, but it basically addresses some of the stuff going on within the community itself. Does it matter? Who knows.

Doctors, except in very rare cases, do not do surgery on minors.

Actual studies show that, far from trans youth post treatment realizing they are actually cis, trans youth can have great difficulty acknowledging to themselves and others they are transgender. And those who undergo gender affirming health care receive counseling prior to any treatment to verify they are trans and not just unhappy with who they are generally. And overwhelmingly they do not regret treatment.

Sure, any time there is a choice there is possibility of mistake. The solution is full information from knowledgeable people, not bigotry and not outlawing choices.

Other people's lives are, so long as they aren't harming others, are their business. Not ABM or Fox News or DeSantis.

 

Hard to say.

At Boston Children’s, we are proud to be home to the first pediatric and adolescent transgender health program in the United States.....

 

Of course there are transphobic cis gays.

It would be nice if that were not the case. But it's a diverse community and not all good people. There are LGBTQ people who are racist, who are misogynist, anti-Semitic, Islamophobic, xenophobic. There are even some like Peter Thiel and Chelsea Manning, who campaign against their own civil rights.

And then a homophobe quotes them and says aha, even gay people oppose civil rights! Vote DeSantis!

 

You'd be mostly wrong

 

This in in flux.

An intriguing question. This is a source that deserves equal consideration.

 

You would be right in this case. I had been to the website before....which included different verbiage:

https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/...ital-surgeries-on-17-year-olds-after-backlash

Boston Children’s Hospital changes website, removes text offering genital surgeries to 17-year-olds

 

Isn't The Worldwide Association Of SlyPokerAnimals made up largely of boomers?

I'm connecting the dots here...
