Vanderbilt University Medical Center is being accused of violating the privacy of its transgender clinic patients by turning their records over to Tennsessee’s attorney general
I’ll never understand people’s obsession with things others want to do to themselves. Things that have absolutely zero impact to anyone else
I don’t understand people who inject their lips or get other fucked up implants but I’m not going to violate their privacy or advocate for laws against them
Most of the chatter against it that I hear now is “parents pushing their kids to be trans” which, yes, that would be shitty but that simply isn’t the case. I live in a very trans friendly area of the US. A lot of parents have degendered clothes and toys so it’s pretty common to see male children in dresses and/or playing with dolls and female children with short hair and “boy” clothes (sorry I’m having a hard time coming up with an outfit that is quintessential boy). Do you know what the outcome is? Kids wearing clothes they like and playing with toys they like. They’re excited about the things they like because they have supportive adults in their life and they’re not forced to follow arbitrary societal rules.
Male children playing with dolls doesn’t mean they’re automatically trans. Parents aren’t having super intensive talks about gender reassignment when their female child is playing with trucks or is “more sporty” than other girls. Gender is simply talked about more fluidly and kids are supported in their constantly changing interests.
Exactly. If you understand the risks or impacts or effects to yourself of whatever it is that you’ve decided to do (not only speaking about this issue but most things in general), and you’ve made a calculated choice to do said thing, as long as it doesn’t harm me or harm other people, I’m totally cool with it, knock yourself out.
Another current example is the widespread legalization of marijuana. If you’re an adult who knows the impacts of smoking pot, and you’ve decided to do so… as long as your smoke isn’t bugging me or other people, then go to town.
Why should I interfere with your decision? You’re not hurting anyone else, and you’ve made an informed choice about the impacts to you. That’s ALL that should matter.
I kind of get it for fundamentalist Christians. If you believe in a god who is both a murderous psychopath and practices collective punishment, it makes some kind of sense.

Nazis love dictating what other people do with their own bodies, always have, always will
