Not that I've thought a lot about this specific issue, but I just want to mention that intersex babies have been receiving surgeries for decades in order to make them conform to the majority, far before they were capable of having or expressing any opinion on the matter. So I'm going to be really skeptical of people who oppose trans teens requesting surgery when they themselves have been asking for it, and they have the support of their doctors, as it just looks like the fact that they're straying away from normativity makes a lot of people apply an unfair double standard.
jfc what kind of sacrifice do I need to make to what ancient diety to get him to step down?
I think we gotta have a conversation as a society about when the hand over the reins to the kids. I'm in my 30's and glad life expectancy peaked cause seeing the gerontocracy from this end is horrifying.
Glad you posted this, it reminded me to update my Lemmy content filter! Up to now, I've just filtered out any headline including the word "slam, slammed, or slams." Because those headlines are garbage. Now I've remembered I need to add the word "blast, blasted, and blasts," because those are garbage too. Thanks!!
Cool. Wait until you realize some of those garbage headlines represent great articles though. Obviously not all of them, but it seems very weird to filter out so many words
Nahh, an article can present a point of view we deem to be "correct" while still engaging in clickbait and sensationalism. I'm not interested in clickbait or sensationalism, so I find that my filtering methods do a pretty good job of getting rid of most of the trash.
Please remember we knew all of this about Donald Drumph in 2016, and we allowed The Electoral College to vote him in. This was before he was elected and John Oliver was pleading for us to vote this guy out.
Biden isn't who anyone wants, but if you want to stop having to decide between a shit sandwich and a steaming pile of shit, you have to be constantly vigilant.
Engage on a local level so that RCV or anything other than FPTP voting is enacted. Do the same at your state level. Literally 80+% of the voters would support RCV if it is presented with no political bias, some will recommend some addendums, but will still be fine with the overall idea.
The federal level will follow because they have to or we start exercising our second amendment rights.
Make the government scared of the people, to the point that we can disband the slaver gangs called police.
Biden was never much of a fighter. He's done almost nothing to help while dozens of states pass anti trans legislature. But hey he made it so trans people can join the military again, if they can survive their state that is.
You mean like hoods executive order that was blocked by courts? I’m not saying he’s the biggest trans ally but saying he’s done almost nothing is unfair imo
How many states did he let pass harmful legislation before doing that? Or was the plan always to wait until the election cycle for that order? An election cycle EO that can't pass the courts is indeed almost nothing.

Kids are never offered "life changing surgeries". This doesn't happen.
Evidence very much suggests being trans is a genuine neurological condition that we are born with.
Additionally, getting a diagnosis is a long process (and it's not guaranteed that you'll get one), and then actually getting treatment takes even more time (also not guaranteed).
EDIT: I can't read what the transphobe is saying anymore as they have rightly been banned from the server I'm on. Detransitioning is uncommon, but of course perfectly valid. Typically people detransition because of transphobia or for economic reasons. Have some additional links:
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.
What are you talking about? Teens undergo life changing surgery all the time, whether it is for a sports injury, to correct scoliosis, oral surgery, etc.
