    I can testify to the fact that trans people share contact data of therapists who don't question them and just say yes to everything.
    Also I think these days a lot of people confuse personality with gender. The whole "you don't need dysphoria to be trans" is super dangerous and stupid.
    I guess we will find out the hard way in a few years if our way of treating kids who think they are trans was good or bad. I have a feeling that there will be a lot of people with regrets.

      I'm convinced that no trans person actually believes that you dont need dysphoria to be trans. Every trans person ive ever met has dysphoria; and the people ive known who said they dont have dysphoria, never actually started medical transition and just changed their prounouns for a few months or something. I know theres probably people online who genuinely believe that but I dont think its something thats turning into a problem. Theres always going to be outliers but i dont think that justifies extensive medical gatekeeping when not all trans people have the same 'textbook' experience of dysphoria.

    I honestly think that the slogan “trans women are women” caused a lot of unnecessary problems in the trans discourse. A slogan like “trans people are real” would’ve been so much more capable of bringing normies on board for trans rights. Another issue is having this trans umbrella that includes non binary people and that just confuses normies because they don’t care enough to educate themselves on the differences between binary transsexual and non binary transgenders because it’s “too confusing” and gives bad faith actors the opportunity to prop up bearded they/thems. as “look at these crazy transes thinking they’re the same as a biological woman”. Also the left needs to face some hard truths like the fact that there is such a thing as social contagion because look at all the detransiotioners that have come out in the last year. But no, the left pretends they either don’t exist or they’re all right wing grifters or whatever.

    To cut past the circlejerk of "well I've read X amount of studies":
    The reasons we don't have research for kids being on puberty blockers for decades is because
    1. They might still be ongoing
    2. The use case is usually for kids who are going through puberty too early or for hypothyroidism
    3. Having kids be on them for decades is _really really new_ . Everything about transgenderism is new, we don't have enough years of research yet.

    "Do you realize that puberty bloclers have been used to stave of puberty for 40 50 years"
    Yes however it was typically prescribed to children with genetic anomalies where a 8 year old starts going through puberty NOT normal kids who have a typical development. A HUUUUUUUUUUUGE difference. The 8 year old going through puberty can mess up their growth plates at a young age and cause massive developmental issues when they should normaly go through puberty ergo why they have to stop the early puberty until an appropriate age.

    Here's the other side minus the trolling, and memes. We believe Trans people are real. We don't deny their existence. We believe Trans people should have the same rights as everyone else. We believe Trans people deserve the same respect anyone else has. ....
    What we don't agree with is the imposition. You create a new term out of nowhere and demand people to use it, no matter how many times you change it. We don't agree that the word woman should be replaced with "People with the capacity for pregnancy" We don't believe the word mother should be replaced with "Birthing persons".
    We also believe if a woman says she feels uncomfortable undressing in a public place with a male with his genitals intact who happens to identify as a woman, we should hear the biological woman out. Why is it you feel women's voices should be heard...unless it conflicts with someone who identifies as a woman Instead of being born one.
    We also disagree with the moral blackmail attempts by trans activists that say we either agree with you, or our disagreement leads to trans death. It's a disgusting thing to do. The phrase "A live daughter, or a dead boy" is beyond reprehensible and it's a phrase doctors use to scare parents into dangerous surgery we have yet to fully understand.
    And lastly, the idea that we have quadrupled the number of trans kids in the past almost decade is because they were afraid to come out to an unwelcoming world and it has nothing to do with, or very little to do with social contagion is an outright lie.
    In order to fully support the trans community we have to set up a series of lies to make them feel comfortable. If a person has to lie and ignore reality to make you feel better then you're the problem, not us.
    I truly feel bad for the members of the trans community who realize the trans activism has gone too far. But you need to talk to your community because they are undoing a lot of goodwill that was very much earned. Now it's gone nuts.

    Great creep spread! When going up against a terran who turtles this much with ghost mech, I think you need to 1) take as many bases as possible to offset the fact that he will have better army efficiency. 2) You have to keep attacking the weak bases. Never just attack into his army, even though it can get very frustrating playing against this style. Thats how you lose all your army supply in one fight. Instead, keep pivoting from one base to the other in order to force him to unsiege his tanks and libs. But most importantly: Take as many bases as possible and immediatly retreat when you think you are running into his sieged up main army next to his static defense.

    It's so disingenuous to suggest that a person is beyond redemption because they believe that a mental illness warrants hesitation and some hefty pushback.
    It doesn't matter how wrong you think they are. This is quite literally the most complicated topic that society faces right now, because it requires a scientific explanation for a series of feelings and results in sketchy treatment for children, two things that no person in their right mind would immediately embrace, ESPECIALLY when the research only spans maybe two decades. It might actually be the case that you're causing children more harm by further ostracizing the parents.

      It doesnt even stack up. The pro trans side of the debate will argue:
      1) if you dont transition people they will end their life, so medical treatment should be given to ALL to 'save lives'
      2) 'people have always existed'
      This tactic then puts blood on the oppositions hands (an emotional appeal and smear through false culpability), and then accuses them of transphobia if you disagree about the number of trans people there have been (again, having debate shut down following ad hominem attacks).
      The issue with that is that, if it were true that the volume of children who call themselves trans now always existed in all prior generations, then you would have seen millions of child/teen suicides in the past. We do not see this, so it doesnt stack up.

In fact, since the actual population of trans people is very small relative to the total population, their suicides have probably always been a relatively small proportion of total child/teen suicides (something like 1% of teens "identify" as trans today). That's all to say that we have no real way of knowing how many child/teen suicides 100 years ago were because of gender dysphoria, and to assert that trans people didn't exist because we didn't see as many child/teen suicides in the past seems like a big leap in logic to me.

    I understand the feeling, but desperation leads to BAD decisions. Calling people "heartless" and "evil" for not wanting to support people reacting really strongly while they're in a highly distressed mental state is not fair.

      Even for the adults that I think should be able to transition however they want, I don’t support and don’t think it’s a good idea. A lot of folks might cheer you on in Internet forums, etc for transitioning but as soon as it comes to dating or marrying a trans person, they will throw all that virtue signaling out the window and not see you as a “real” man or woman.
      I personally see the “conservative” position as tough love. As they will prepare you for a world that people will pretend that gender is this malleable thing but will quickly shift to seeing gender as rigid when it impacts their own lives (dating/marrying).

      Another thing that is astounding is that there are no studies of blockers with control groups. When studying effects of every treatment subjects are divided into 2 groups: one that receives the treatment and one that doesn't, and then group averages are compared and efficacy is determined. There isn't even one study like this for blockers.
      And yet another issue that studies on transition have an average follow up of 2 years. That's nothing. Of course first couple of years reports will tend to be positive. What is important is what happens 10-15 years down the line.

Clearly, this wasn’t a problem we had a few years ago. Interestingly, this hasn’t been an issue with male patients, as they’re percentage maintained (about 0.5%) and they almost never selected female back when there was only 1 field for gender/ sex.

    While there hasn't been a lot of studies on this, I can't remember the exact number I think is like 12 or 13, desistance rates among minors is really high. Even the most recent study on this published in 2021 showed 51% of minors desisting and only 37% persisting, 12% the study lost contact with and were not able to follow up with. This was when there was no affirmative treatment. When affirmative treatment was given, even just social transitioning, persistent rates increased significantly the greater the treatment the greater the increase in the rate of persistence. While this is a single study that looked at changes in desistance rates from administration of affirmation treatment so the amount of data is crap. Desistance rates for minors has been studied since the 1960s and they have all found a major desist after puberty. If we are going to look at studies with limited and crappy data and say HRT and puberty blockers helps trans kids mental health I think we also have to accept limited and crappy data and say treatment for minors means we are going to give kids that would have desisted a life long struggle with gender dysphoria and all the studies we do have say that the number we are going to give a life long struggle to are going to be more than the number of kids that need the treatment.
    So to the compassionate individuals who empathize with the pain and struggles of trans individuals, would you condemn 1 or 2 cis individuals to become permanently transgender and suffer all that pain and suffering for a lifetime just to treat one transgender individual a few years earlier? If so, how is it ethical to cause a majority number of people life long pain to prevent anywhere from 6 to 13 years of pain for a minority of people?

That doesn't make them monsters, and that doesn't mean they "don't care about transgender people", it just means that they value (most likely for religious reasons as well as a visceral reaction to anything which is part of the sexual liberation movement) rejecting transgenderism over those transgender peoples experiences

I think that if the age of consent is sixteen in some parts of the states, then sixteen year olds should be able to make that choice if they want to transition, to save them from a rough puberty. But I also believe that the screening process should be a little more rigorous.

      I've come to the conclusion that this is the second attempt of eugenics where the last cultural shift to eugenics started around the 1920s and ended after ww2. Those most likely to fall into this trap are typically those on the socially awkward side and don't fit nicely in the box or the parent(s) are mauchosen by proxy which in either case ends with a sterile population of people that don't understand what they are doing.

      If you did really care about kids, you would know that gender dysphoria is taught as a condition, and that kids learning about these mental issues makes them less likely to bully them for it. It also makes it so that kids suffering from these issues are more likely to get treatment and carry through with it.

    My biggest disagreement with destiny is at the 54:00 mark when he says conservatives have no compassion, that is bullshit, they just are concerned about the kids and people who arent Trans but get told by Tik-Tok influencers and other ilk like them who just dogpile on them saying they are trans.
    The people who dont have compassion are far right people like matt walsh who is an ass (and i am conservative) and far left people who care more about being “virtuous” then the mental health of others.
    We need to stop acting like the other side is a monster just because they disagree. Most conservatives have an issue with this since we dont have long term studies that all point to the same conclusion and are repeatable, we have one off studies but we need more, its the same with the whole covid vaccine issue, i didn’t get it even though it was Trump who got the ball rolling because i dont trust the long term possible effects. The Flu vaccine wasn’t cleared for human use for nearly a hundred years because they wanted long term effect studies

      Exactly. Last year the FDA reported that 6 girls experienced vision loss and swelling of the brain due to them taking puberty blockers. Swelling of the brain is extremely dangerous as it can cause permanent brain damage or brain death aka literal death. Not just that but the effects that puberty blockers have on the development of the teenage brain aren't known and we're being fed the lie that puberty blockers are fully reversible. Considering all of this it boggles my mind that some people think that kids that aren't even old enough to decide their bed time can meaningfully consent to take such drugs. I'm not a conservative, I'm a moderate leftist and I couldn't agree more with conservatives on this issue.

    I'm just going to stick with the Taoist interpretation on this whole topic. Many people have lost their sense of identity because they have become overly focused on external factors such as their roles, labels, and possessions. True identity is not something that can be found by searching for it, but rather by letting go of the search and being present in the moment, quieting the mind, and letting go of our thoughts and beliefs about ourselves. By doing so, we can access a deeper level of understanding and connection with ourselves and the world, and live a more authentic and fulfilling life.
    I'm sure I'll get hate from pro-trans people from this take, but I don't really care what random strangers on the internet want to say about my beliefs. It appears to me that foundational to the belief that being trans, that you MUST believe in what is effectively a soul, or that you are a little being locked up in a bag of skin that you never chose. People en masse have bought into the idea that we are somehow separate in a real sense from the universe, "A stranger and afraid in a world we never made". Which essentially leads me to the conclusion that these people are just confusing the world as it is with the world how it is described, talked about, and figured about.

    The issue is that teen rates of self harm are skyrocketing at the same time we are adopting all these new ideas about gender identity that are supposedly meant to alleviate this issue for some number of kids.
    We are pulling the rug out on a foundational part of identity, to a certain degree. Being a boy/girl is something the vast majority of human beings for the entirety of history has been able to establish at an extremely young age. To present a fluidity to something that foundational for kids at a time when identity is somewhat precarious anyway risks damaging more children than actually benefit.
    It’s a matter of being concerned about more than just the ones you’re trying to help. Kids are impressionable and vulnerable by their nature. That goes for all kids. And it’s fair to question why issues of self harm have increased dramatically at the same time we have adopted some of these seemingly radical identity concepts. That doesn’t mean they’re necessarily correlated, but it’s not unfair to be concerned.

      You are born. You’re a boy. You belong to a family from a place. You probably have a religion and culture. So now, for instance, you are an Italian boy from New York from an Italian family who is also Catholic. You have all this foundation for which to build the rest of yourself on top of.
      Now you might say that was too restrictive. It didn’t work for many people. But you’d have to admit, it was good for most people. Restrictions aren’t always bad. Guardrails are restrictive, but they keep you from going off a cliff sometimes.
      My concern is that as we strip away all the guardrails, a lot of young people are getting lost and going off cliffs. Not just Trans people, but everybody. Families are all screwed up. Communities are broken. You might not even be confident you’re a boy/girl. It’s not a recipe for happiness.

      Conservatives ABSOLUTELY fetishize feelings. In fact, basically all of your policies are created specifically as knee-jerk emotional reactions to things rather than being based on something like studies (which you guys, using your feelings, immediately write off as giant leftist conspiracies)
      So for example, "I don't like abortion because I'm Christian and it makes me feel bad"
      "I don't like trans people because I'm Christian and it makes me feel bad"
      "I would rather keep my guns than prevent school shootings because I'm scared of everything"
      The biggest joke the right ever pulled was convincing everybody that the left was the party of emotions just because the left cares about mental health, the right is the most emotional group that bases literally NOTHING on fact I've EVER seen. Even you guys deciding that mental health isn't important is something that actively goes against all studies AND is a product of your emotions (the idea that you can "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" makes you FEEL good which is why you perpetuate it.) You guys frequently DENY facts as being false because you don't like how the facts make you FEEL. ridiculous. And I can comfortably say "you guys," because these conspiracy theories are backed at the HIGHEST LEVEL of government on the right, going all the way up to the president at one point with full support from all the other politicians around him at the time. Meanwhile on the left, insane conspiracy theories gain literally no traction, no president has ever backed them, high level government officials never back them etc. Your party is a joke in 2023, get your shit together clown
