    They say it didn’t help their dysphoria and now they deeply regret transitioning and the damage it has permanently done to their body. Worse they say the LGBQT community has attacked them as traitors and ostracised them simply for doing what they felt was best for themselves.

    With trans activists seeking to seeking to prey upon ever younger and more vulnerable children, in a completely degenerate and immoral manner which puts the desires of the activists above the good of the children, maybe we should be using the cautionary principle? If this doesn’t bother you then it should.

    FTFY.

    Anyone seeking transgender surgery already gets counselling, which is more than Johnny 6-year old gets when his parents try to convince him his entire life is determined by an invisible sky fairy and, if he feels anything other than 100% straight or male, he's going to eternally burn in fire.

    It is just a U.K. study but the numbers are not insignificant. It is also alarming that so many of the people wanting to transition are autistic.

    It does seem to be a real problem.

    It is definitely worth examining what happened in these cases. However, they should not be used as a cudgel to wield against people who want to transition, which is what I suspect will happen ...

    Just read the link. It's not a fucking "study", you hopeless twat. It's one de-transitioned teen who says she thinks she's talked to "hundreds" of others online.

    From the actual article: There is currently no data to reflect the number who may be unhappy in their new gender or who may opt to detransition to their biological sex.

    No actual data here, just perception.

    This is like you thinking more than 20% of society agree with your hateful racism.

    People detransition for a variety of reasons, one of them being constant abuse and rejection by others. They detransition, that is they return to their dysphoria, in the hopes they will be left alone. Now, I know all about Charlie Evans (the person in the link Dinner posted), and I knew when I read that there would be bigots wanting to jump all over this kind of thing, because they believe it's not a real thing, that people aren't really transgender.

    Well, first, the science says bigots can go fuck off because it is real:

    https://www.psychologicalscience.or...nsistent-gender-identity-across-measures.html


    Secondly, the actual number of people who want to detransition is much smaller than chuckle fuck up there understands:

    And an added bonus article about some of the myths around detransitioning:

    Oh, Dinny Din can't help but hate the vulnerable in society. LGBT? A refugee? A minority person beaten by police? You're a cancer on society. Right now he's a Quillette drone, or what they like to call themselves "Intellectual Dark Web." Yep, that's the name they chose. It's made up of bigots, racists, misogynists, and neo-Nazi groups who try to justify their glaring personal flaws by using outright lies and pseudoscience to back their bullshit.

    I disagree with the "returning to original sex" title. They never left. No one actually believes they're anything other than what they were born as, especially their families. As far as the targeting of children, as parents we need to protect them as best we can. Telling them the truth and being on guard for predators is extremely important.

    While I wont deny that this has been a topic in the back of my mind since
    ...

    Well, since I saw it as a living example through Chris Crockers life path. I think pointing fingers at trans activists is a complete load of crock. Why are they the villains? The last time I checked, the whole concept of supporting the trans community was encouraging people to be WHO they are: regardless of gender. If that means transitioning, go for it. Need I remind you: Having freedom within your gender identity is STILL VERY NEW.

    This is the price we pay for freedom to exist. Sometimes this is the path people have to go down in order to figure out who they are. That doesnt make anyone a villain.

    The trans activist community do have an agenda, yes. That agenda is acceptance and normalizing gender fluidity. Some people just need to go through that to figure out who they are. No one needs to be villainized because of it.

    OP, if you want to make any kind of point, you're gonna have to demonstrate that a sizable portion of those who transition later become unhappy and seek to detransition. This article doesn't demonstrate anything of the sort.

    I'm really bothered by the implication that he is making suggesting an overlying pressure on young people to transition. That's simply not the case. If anything, the majority of the LGBT community are still being oppressed by folks like the OP that continue to place a stigma on the movement and frame it as though the whole concept is "degenerate and immoral"

    I have had partners that are still in the closet and still are very debilitated because of their fear of being true to themselves. I would much rather them be pressured to be free than live in fear that they will be shunned or worse if they allow themselves to "come out" and be themselves.

    In all the circles I travel in, the general consensus in the trans community is "no pressure." Just as it is cruel and horrific to out someone before they are ready, it is just as cruel to push someone to transition before they are ready. Add the fact that people who want to transition still go through multiple therapy sessions to make certain that what they are feeling is accurate before they can even be prescribed hormones should say exactly where the OP can shove their bigotry.

    Exactly.

    The very last conversation I had with El Chup was about him going on about how Tererun couldn't be trans because he had three black friend she wasn't like any other trans people he'd met. This coming from a guy who I'm sure meant well and really wasn't thinking beyond the content of Wordforge and her trolling here, but it speaks to the larger point that there's a whole lotta things cis people cannot and will not be able to understand and it's not for assclowns like Dinner or hell, even well-meaning allies to weigh in on.

    On the contrary, my mother in law flew into town on Saturday so we were at my sister in laws house doing a welcoming party and BBQ all Sunday afternoon. It was fun. Real life always takes precedence over stupid Internet forums much less mentally ill homeless gay prostitutes who desperately want attention. :)

    Frankly, we have seen it on this very forum where Nova has advocated very young children get life altering surgery and chemical treatments to “avoid unwanted puberty” when legally they are not even competent to sign a contract or consent to anything. There is a definite strain among trans activists to prey upon vulnerable children (and it is often the aquatic children which are most susceptible to this propaganda as shown in the stats) just so that the trans activists can some how feel validated about themselves. That is extremely selfish and shows no regard for the welfare of the children they are mutilating. This behavior needs to be a crime.
