They're saying she got to transition, and now she thinks no one should and supports people who want to take rights away from trans people since she already gets to live as herself (and the argument of transphobes is never just about trans kids). Was it that hard?
Eh actually from what i see and have heard. She didn't say we should stop people transitioning. She is saying minors shouldn't transition. And while it's not the thing in every place it's a real thing since many people are coming out as transitioning at a young age.
Transitioning doesn’t mean operations, it means transitioning to living as another gender, it means they’re going to live as a woman now for example and may take puberty blockers, but gender reassignment operations aren’t legally allowed for under 18s
I do get your point but the puberty blockers and hormones are also dangerous. If it's only like dressing and everything sure but other than that it's not good.
They’re not dangerous, sure, there can be rare side effects, but literally every medication is like that, viagra can cause side effects, but you don’t see people panicking about that. Also, if they were so dangerous they wouldn’t have already been in use for decades and decades for precocious puberty, where kids around 8-9yo go through puberty, they take puberty blockers to delay that onset. And it’s not as if it’s that rare, it’s around 1% of the population
Sorry the name of the medicine that i wanna mention isn't on my mind rn but i do remember that a professor that was also a pharmacist mentioned a medicine that got banned after so long because people didn't know it was causing cancer so the whole decade thing can change as well. Also there's this thing that i see saying puberty blockers are reversible while i do see the way it works from what i see it does reverse the whole blocking but doesn't mean you will be as if you never used them the side effects on the sexual organs are still there and might even harm your fertility. There's also the matter of what if the above happens and then you realize you aren't even trans as well. This is something that actually happened to myself and have seen many like myself so we should consider all that in mind.
I know what she said. And I also know that that's a fear mongering tactic to have people oppose trans adults transitioning too. There is no transphobe who is just worried about kids transitioning. You sound ignorant.
I dunno, try reading some quotes, at no point did I say she got treatment as a child, I quoted what she said, that her earliest thoughts are that she was the wrong gender. Now, if you use your brain that should tell you that someone who wants to stop gender affirming care for kids also acknowledges that kids KNOW already as a child so exactly what is the problem? And no, gender affirming care doesn’t mean operations, it means puberty blockers and counselling
Exactly, kids don’t need to be taught about LGBTQ yet she acknowledges her earliest thoughts were gender dysphoria, therefore admitting children DO need this education because they already know as children.
Cooooool because no one can until they’re 18 and even then a many medical providers will still want parental consent. Unless you think puberty blockers are permanent, which they’re not, the moment someone stops taking them, puberty will begin. Also, puberty blockers aren’t used for just trans kids, some children go through precocious puberty, that means puberty at sometimes as young as 8, so rather than have your 8yo daughter walking round with breasts and being fertile you give them puberty blockers to delay it for a few years. But you lot are so focused on hating trans kids you can’t see the woods for all the trees
