According to scientific studies, children who question their gender identity end up identifying as the gender assigned at birth between 60% and 90% of the time by the age of 18. The studies are listed in that right-wing hive of scum and villainy called wikipedia.
Under the hippocratic oath, “First: Do no harm”, one must then ask the question of whether “Do nothing” is an option.
If someone catches a cold, we don’t immediately start a lung transplant. To do so would be highly unethical when most colds resolve themselves within a couple weeks. If we were to do such a thing, then we’d be making people permanent medical cases. Most people would agree that trying to resolve a common cold with a lung transplant would be unethical, even if some minority of cases of the common cold do escalate and require further intervention.
If over half of people with gender dysphoria in their childhood or teenage years (or perhaps 9 out of 10) are cured by leaving them alone, then any medical intervention needs to be significantly better than that.
Some people counter by saying that over 90% of people who start treatment for gender dysmorphia before 18 continue the treatment afterwards. This is not the same thing. If you raise children to think they need to do a thing, they’ll keep doing it, but that doesn’t mean they needed to do it. Generations of radical muslims practice female genital mutilation, that doesn’t mean that the practice is good just because mothers who grow up having had it done to them allow it to happen. Many children brought up in abusive cults keep abusing after they get old.
If someone is cured, then they won’t end up as any sort of suicide statistic because they aren’t trans. By this argument, pushing kids down a path we know leads to a massive suicide rate because it politically agrees with us is quite immoral.
For a minority of people who question their gender identity, they grow up and continue on to be trans as adults. I feel for them. It’s not an easy life. Part of the argument for hormone blockers is that it becomes easier to pass later. However, blocking puberty has long-lasting effects on people regardless, and so we potentially end up in a situation where we’re permanently harming 9 people to make one person’s life a little easier.
One of the justifications for really harsh and not very nice memes like the post is that right now we’re doing something else immoral: In trying to promote acceptance of trans people, we’re going several steps in the other direction and glamorizing what is a tragic disorder. We go to kids and say “Hey, are you a boy or a girl? By the way, if you choose something other than the obvious answer, you’re cool and amazing and everyone supports you and you’re so special”. We know from examples such as the satanic panic in the 80s and early 90s that you can push kids to say things that aren’t true (One child claimed they killed and ate a friend of his who was very much alive), so we need to be very careful in supporting a tiny group not to accidentally cause harm to people who otherwise would have been unrelated.
I don’t condone being shitty to trans people, but I do understand it, especially in a world that appears to be actively causing harm to innocent people. It’s a natural reaction to seeing something that some people might interpret as being pure evil.
People pushing for bad medical work in the name of the greater good has a long history. Perfrontal lobotamies were considered the new hotness for a long time. Eugenics was famously pushed by leftists such as the man who helped create universal healthcare in Canada. Thing is, just because it’s new doesn’t mean it’s moral. Even the genocide of the jews in Nazi Germany was officially a public health measure.
So many paragraphs just to say you hate that people can be what they want to be and think it’s immoral that we tell others that they can be what they want to be as well. I think it’s immoral you tell kids they’re not allowed to be who they want to be. That’s where we differ, you limit freedom of people you don’t like.
The stats literally show that giving gender affirming care lowers the 40% suicide risk that you cause. Burn in hell.
you assume kids can make life long decisions when they barely have critical thinking skills. let adults do whatever they want. leave the kids alone. once they hit 16+ … then its only fair they get to live with THEIR poor choices, just like drugs, DUI, and crimes.
Kids aren’t making life decisions. That’s a gross over exaggerated lie peddled to you by some idiots with an agenda. And you can send me 1 or 2 articles with some edge case all you want. Majority of the world doesn’t allow gender affirming care and the biggest majority doesn’t allow kids to have permanent changes done. Stop arguing this bullshit, it’s a front to take away the rights of adults who choose to be who they want to be.
So awareness and tolerance creates acceptance and treatments proven to work. Amazing! You know didn’t used to know they could be gay either. Guess what really helped them?
Something about your comment isn’t right. I cannot understand it. Maybe you have misspelled something
Don’t push it to kids. If a kids really really has dysphoria the kid would show signs of it and most people around it would understand its differences. All those drag queen story times, parades, books about sex for kids, flags all over cities are uneeded. At most they are going to make a straight kid without any dyphoria think he might be she. This kid would probably later kill him self when he gets to an adult age because he made the wrong choice, he can’t handle his female and he can no longer reproduce.
That is what we are trying to prevent. Not all those rare cases of real dysphoria.
It doesn’t matter if you think they’re unnecessary. That’s something all of you have in common, you can’t think about anyone else’s situation whatsoever.
There has never been a single case of a kid being “convinced” they’re trans or gay and then commit suicide because of that. So shut the fuck up about it
No kids are chopping anything off. End of story. No trans kids, no other kids. Nobody. Stop perpetuating this extremely psychopathic talking point, you intolerant, suicide-approving cunt.

Seems like I said the opposite of what you claim.
Learn to read. It might help you stop being so hateful all your life. You know, when you curse someone, dig two graves.
no need to get spicy.

Adults? Fuck adults. They can do whatever they want in my book. 18? Cut your dick off or tits off, that’s your choice.
Ain’t what’s happening though
maybe where you are at… but we’ve got some insurances that cover SRS.
Good, they cover legit medical procedures proven to improve health.
That is because most of the world has less or no LGBT propaganda and kids don’t even know that they can become another gender
So awareness and tolerance creates acceptance and treatments proven to work. Amazing! You know didn’t used to know they could be gay either. Guess what really helped them?

Why are they necessary
If a child wants to chop off their arms because they identify as a person without arms, should we let them?
No kids are chopping anything off. End of story. No trans kids, no other kids. Nobody. Stop perpetuating this extremely psychopathic talking point, you intolerant, suicide-approving cunt.
