Seriously, when did injecting hormones into little kids become okay in any moral circle?

so how can a 6 yr old "know"?
understand this is me just spouting off at the mouth with almost zero practical knowledge,but still...

if I were the parent,my kid would be waiting till they are an adult and choose for themselves.no way I am making that call while they are a child.

Some kids do know from pretty early on that their bodies are not doing what a boy's or girl's body is "supposed" to be doing. This is particularly true if there's a more obvious underlying cause driving this - intersex genes, something up with their gene expression, etc.

And it can cause quite a lot of distress if there's nobody around to say "hey, it's ok, there's a word for this and it's transgender." Suicides related to this can happen in kids as young as 8 or 9. And to be frankly practical, if we can't agree that a kid shot up on hormones HAS to be better than a dead kid by suicide, then I'm done with the human race entirely.

So, again, try to get away from this idea that transgenderism is a choice in the vein of some kind of arbitrary whim. It might seem odd to you that someone at six years old can just know that something's not right, but that may well be because you didn't live through the experience of a six year old where something isn't right with what they've been told about their gender. (And nor did I, for that matter. I do wish this site were less hostile to the trans community because we should be learning all this directly from their experiences.)

whoa whoa whoa buddy..
did you see where I said "understand this is me just spouting off at the mouth with almost zero practical knowledge"?

I was coming from strictly a parents perspective,and trying to put myself in that position of having to decide for my child what is best for them.

but as I clearly prefaced:this is all coming from a place of ignorance.

but I didn't mean to imply trans was a "choice".
what I was referring to was the construction of our ego,which begins around 12 yrs old,and continues on till around 22-25 yrs old.

so I wasn't judging,i was simply pontificating.

Appreciated, and I'm not trying to friendly fire here - we're on the same side!

I just thought that there's maybe a side to this that you might want to chew over in your mind. I know you're one of the reasonable ones; I'm just pointing at something you might not have looked at.

Sure, and through ALL of this, medical malpractice is a constant trauma in the transgender world. The very medical system that supports their transition is transphobic af.

But imgflip is not ready for that level of nuance when the clear majority of users are still on the basics ;)

also the drag queen stuff as well

Yes, especially that.

like who the hell thought it was a good idea to sexulise kids ya know is like afterbirth abortion is just not right

Actually, it is a mental disorder.

Read this. It's from a biased source, but it doesn't mask what's really going on.

Because this is someone's actual testimony. The source just covered it.
