Cuz they want it to be true. They want their "opponents" to be vile creatures so they can claim the moral highground.

Makes it easier to dismiss their arguments.

Are you that desperate to be a victim? You'd accuse others, very rudely, without any proof, just so you can play a game of gotcha?

In another post I have mentioned having over 2 decades of experience with troubled youth and young adults. You might find the comment, you might not, I tend to delete comments often.

In my line of work suicide of those we aim to help is a very real possibility. During those years we have lost 11 transitioned young people who explicitly mentioned their new body being a large part of the reason why they took that drastic step. They are not found in the statistics linked in this thread. Other factors did play a part, true. But those are the ones that explicitly mentioned it. A few of those mentioned explicitly how they felt under informed about the negative possibilities. They were mostly told, by people like you, online and in other trans communities, that life will be much better afterwards. Medical professionals downplayed the medical risks, complications, pain, discomfort. Oh they were mentioned, but downplayed.

The worst thing I could wish upon you: may you be treated how you treat others.

Awfully quick to jump to conclusions. Awfully quick to remove people from society.

Sad that you think those actions are just. May you be treated how you treat others. 😉

Funny how you assume I want to ban it. Seems like a common trend. In which you are identical to the frequenters of r/the_donald. If I don't flatout agree with you, I must heavily oppose you.

Didn't you get the "trans care is a dialog" part? I mean I would love to see your reasoning in how that can be viewed as wanting to ban it. I always love a good show of mental gymnastics.

I guess you missed the important part. And focussed only on the irrelevant part. Didn't expect anything else tbh.

No sweetie, those can be diagnosed through imaging and completed without the patient saying one word.

Trans care is a dialog.

Nice try, better luck next time?

Because this post is about trans care. There are certain online ethics that kinda prohibit hijacking of posts. One of the 10k today?

Every day there are 10k....

You are hilarious. Not in a good way. You are incapable of having a normal discussion. You always, without fail go for the ad hominem. Your conduct here today is a disservice to the trans community.

True. And how do those differ from trans care?

Please point out where I made those statements?

As was mentioned, it's a long process. With still 1%, which is a very conservative estimate, regretting it after all those years, all that information. I feel this should be mentioned.

What you did not mention however was the 13% that stopped transitioning and started detransitioning. The previous 1% only takes into account completed transitions. Since it's a lengthy process, there are many that stop during the process.

That should also be mentioned and the fact that you willingly choose to omit it shows you do not want informed consent.

Informed consent is now anti-trans? Really?

No. You did not. Parents aren't required. Neither is the doctor initially. Psycologist or psychiatrist would be better. They have a better understanding than your run of the mill doctor.

Perhaps I should've been more clear that my response was not aimed only at you, but the others here as well.

Please point out where I wrote anything like that. Go ahead, I'll wait.

It's funny how you just downvote and provide zero arguments. Just jumping to call me anti-trans and a pedo.

Good thing I'm not as phobic as you people and will still support the trans community, just not the individuals being dicks.

So requesting you be honest and fully inform kids is pedophiliac tendencies? You do get how this makes you look? Right?

Please point out where I mentioned anything anti-trans. Or is this again by requesting honesty and transparency? Again, you do realise how this makes you look? Right?

Judging from the responses and downvotes, I can see this community still doesn't want informed consent....

Hence the /procedures. 😉

Weird how you left out the links of studies, reports of people that actually do regret it. I mean should we just ignore those people?

If you want kids to be able to make these decisions, you will have to inform them. Properly. Not just paint them a nice picture. That's what you're currently doing. Not informing them and painting nice pink pictures.

It is not sunshine and rainbows for everyone. There are trans people who regret it. Ignoring that fact is being dishonest with yourself and the transcommunity.

Please point out where I wrote anything remotely close to that. Go ahead, I'll wait.

On one hand arguing that a 15 yo isn't old enough to realise the consequences of spreading AI nudes of a real girl.

On the other hand arguing that 15 yo's are totes old and responsible enough to undergo life changing surgery/procedures.

It is different. It's genital mutilation. Has fuck all to do with gender affirmation

This is done regardless of the source of the glass. IE fresh or reused glass gets the same cleaning treatment.

I know right? Aren't we glad we went for the sure fire poison over the n-word option.

It's called experience.

I'm not versed in the web dev scene, front end or back end. But if you mean the people that design sites where shit isn't loaded in proper sequence and keeps shifting/moving buttons as it keeps loading more shit, then yes, fuck those people.

Family friendly?

Are you for real? Nudist campings are family campings in yurop. Went to a nekid beach last week and it was filled with families. As it is every time we go.

It's not the nakedness that seems to be the issue. It's your hyper sexualised mindset and culture.

And the massive amount of nuclear tests have had no impact at all? It's all because of Chernobyl. Uhu.

Biggest balls? Really? They are actually a large part of why we're still so dependent on fossil fuels. If they had the balls to accept nuclear is in fact the faaaaar lesser evil, we could've ditched fossil fuel for electricity generation completely by now. Instead we have countries ramping up coal usage and building new gas power plants to replace their nuclear plants. And they still see this as a win.

Those nuclear plants will be indispensable once we start having entire fleets of 18-wheelers recharging at night.

Agree with their battle. It's necessary. Just not with what they've pushed the past 30-odd years.

Because no one actually knows. Studies or trends are done by crusaders for or against a certain food because they noticed for themselves it has some neg impact.

There are not enough actual studies on food or even healthcare. There was like 1 decent study for example on keto diet for athletes. Results weren't valid for most people as they only looked at athletic results and how the athletes felt. Not the health impact for gen pop.

Healthcare is the same. I've lived my entire life following various medical advice due to medical issue. Recently that advice has changed. And I'm fkin pissed cuz after 40 fkin years I am finally pain free.

And I haven't even touched the topic of both food and healthcare for women, poc, differing body-/lifestyle types.

Only thing I can agree on: consume less sugar and sauces. Sure my opinion is anecdotal, but everyone I know that has cut those 2 has seen great results.

Rofl.

Yeah no. Your choice has global impact. Sadly enough.

An EV will double your electricity usage. Look into the requirements for EV cargo transport. Swapping out all the diesel trucks, just the heavy transport will come close to doubling the national electricity needs. Add to that small vans and buses.

I urge you to actually do the math. You'll get a much much better understanding of the issue. Just pasting links to articles that look like they support your arguments adds to the dream.

The aim is to drop fossil fuels. Your goal should've been to embrace nuclear while increasing renewables. Atm you seem fine with just burning fossil fuels, killing the planet, cuz the alternative isn't renewable. GG.

Take a look at Germany, Belgium, etc. ditching nuclear because the green parties fought so hard for it. What are they doing now? Back to healthy healthy coal and gas. Thanks for helping kill the planet even faster in your zeal for exclusively renewable energy.

Why? The same reason the 1/3 burger flopped. Majority of mericans are dumb af. Splitting off from the D would give the R a sure win. That's the only reason they aren't doing it.

Idealists and reality. Natural opposites.

Renewables are unreliable. That's a fact. Yes you have moments, days even weeks where they can deliver what is currently required. In total output. Not yet in delivers when you actually need it output.

Sure you can have 100% renewable generation for a 24hr period, but if your generation is during the day and your usage is spread into the night, you're not really covering your needs, no matter how good it looks on paper.

It is also your current usage. Now do the math and replace all fossil fuel usage with electric alternatives. Cars, buses, trucks, heating, cooking, etc. Now calculate just how much more renewables you need to cover all that in ideal circumstances.

Now do the same for windless winter days.

If we're going to step away from fossil fuels entirely, you're going to have to accept nuclear as an option. Thinking we'll manage only with renewables is a dream. While you dream, we're burning fossil fuels non-stop. Cuz that's reality.

You can have renewables with nuclear, or renewables with fossil fuels. You're actively choosing renewables with fossil fuels.

Oh noes, facts. The bane of all renewables evangelicals.....

Just wait till you have to tell them they're looking at irrelevant data. Not only are they using specific usecases that are not applicable to a large majority of countries, but they're also using data that doesn't support the long term fossil fuel goals.

Just wait till you tell them how much the electricity requirements will skyrocket once we're transitioning to EV, dropping fossil fuel heating, cooking, cargo trucks switch to EV, etc etc.

Solar plants, windmills or nuclear plant? You gotta be more specific.

As I said, lets talk once you've managed a full winter. 😉

In the summer. In ideal conditions. Lets talk again once you've tried 12 continuous months in the heavily populated northern hemisphere. 😉
