Anyone saying no would probably be the type to want their child to be trans.

i have multiple transgender friends and they are all extremely depressed Every study out there regarding childhood transitioners shows they're as happy or more so than their peers. And much more than those who couldn't until they're adults aka post puberty. The biggest hurdle is actually having our genders recognized, respected and having legal rights that are protected without needing to have lawyers or the ACLU involved for years at a time. For instance there's a doomsday bill that will revoke all trans rights save a few in the cities/ states that passed their own. But without the federal ones, it would make most of them much harder to enforce in any notable capacity. --- Pokemon Moon FC: 1994-2190-5020 IGN: Vanessa ... Copied to Clipboard!

would do it for a child that would be gay too. Yeah thats where im sitting as well. Both transgenders and homosexuals cant live the easiest life around due to discrimination and what not. If you can save your child from those difficulties and the pain and sorrow, why not do it? Espicially with what little i know of "Gender dysphobia" or whatever the name is... from what i understand no human being deserves the pain that those scenarios will automatically bring. --- L.J.Gibbs: Rule 51: "Sometimes You're Wrong." ...

Valfalk posted...i have multiple transgender friends and they are all extremely depressed And how about actually having to take all those medications and hormones and shit? Wouldn't you rather just, you know, physically be the sex you want to be? It's like saying your child should grow up with diabetes because using insulin and having to meticulously watch your meals isn't that much effort anyway rather than have them not have it at the beginning. But then again, you're one of those true snowflake types who thinks being disabled is a part of your identity and proud of it so you can show off how different you are. Honestly, I'm betting a small part of you would actually be more willing to MAKE your child transgender if something like that existed. --- </topic> ... Copied to Clipboard!

Not to mention, if you weren't bullshitting (which you are) wouldn't it be all for your benefit to "enlighten" as many people as you can?

If you actually wanted to learn, you would be learning. Tell me, do people ask you to render the summation of your existence, past present and future, before them as a mandatory part of discussion? And no, I don't use tumblr. Anyone who thinks trans race like dolezal or trans species is a thing is completely wrong. How is calling your ignorance out not expressing my views? As for the laws? Even people who understand trans issues still can be for those laws, because of the fundamental misunderstanding that trans people's identities are valid, and tested in ways cis people never will have to deal with. But nah, clearly it is better to make trans people not exist instead of making it so trans people aren't systematically abused at every level with zero recourse in most cases. --- Pokemon Moon FC: 1994-2190-5020 IGN: Vanessa ...

No, you aren't calling ignorance out. You're just saying IZ RONG without actually explaining why which makes you a tool and the one in the wrong. Since if you can't even explain your point how valid can that point really be? And no, being trans is about as much of an identity as being diabetic is. It's something that you are, but not something you desire to be or the end goal. Trans literally means changing. Gay and bi people don't desire and have no need to be straight.

who thinks being disabled is a part of your identity and proud of it so you can show off how different you are. While wanting to be disabled when you are not would be insane, it is indeed part of your identity and you should not feel shame. If you grow up with a disability, it affects literally everything about you, good and bad. This is why you get trans people or Aspies or whoever that would not want to be cured outright if such a thing even existed. The worry is that it would reshape their entire identity, their very person, not just remove the bad stuff. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

If you want a further explanation, fucking pay me for the emotional labor. Because no operations actually change your sex. It's just a superficial aesthetic and I'm sure many don't consider it worth the money and effort because of that. If there's an operation that fully changes your sex down to your chromosomes then if you still won't take it then you're not transgender, just a very emotionally confused masculine woman/feminine man. And non-binaries are made up and have no relevancy here. People who are born with this hypothetical treatment can still become "nonbinary" by being a social outcast and growing up oddly. --- </topic> ... Copied to Clipboard!

gunplagirl posted...Every study out there regarding childhood transitioners shows they're as happy or more so than their peers That's only the case for those who couldn't transition in their youth. It's becoming increasingly more common for them to at least state their desire to transition because society is slowly turning to make it more acceptable for them to feel they can say it without fearing reprisal. Most like myself, well. Seeing lgbt people being used as punch lines in movies (like that Jim Carey one) and people being violent towards them? It makes us fear that we'll be harmed by our own family for saying something. Plus lots of other indicators, conscious or otherwise, from family members showing that they disapprove. Plus even in my teenage years I knew a few classmates who were disowned and taken care of by friends families because of their sexual orientation. That is why we're unhappy. Because we can't safely express our genuine selves even if we do act on it. --- Pokemon Moon FC: 1994-2190-5020 IGN: Vanessa ... Copied to Clipboard!

I mean, the treatment in this scenario is basically meant to do what they will wish for when they grow up anyway. The stuff like non-binaries and supposed transpeople who don't feel dysphoria (which means they probably don't really have as much of the brain differentiations if at all that people with dysphoria do) probably won't show up on the scan anyway (because they're not as genuine). --- </topic> ...

And suddenly you're saying that it's solely based on brain scans and genuineness into valid trans identities despite brain scans not even being concrete evidence at this point. In other words, you're using the present to parse the future in a hypothetical vacuum. And still you find a way to be transphobic.
You can meet all the other trans people in our world, there's always going to be caitlyn Jenners out there with bad views, internalized transmisogyny and a poor understanding of what actually needs to be done to improve the lives of trans people as a whole. --- Pokemon Moon FC: 1994-2190-5020 IGN: Vanessa ...

In other words, you're using the present to parse the future in a hypothetical vacuum. And still you find a way to be transphobic. It would only be brain scans, what else would it be? Your anus? Or maybe you believe in souls? And of course we're talking about the present. Talking about anything other than the near future (which I don't believe will change the findings much) is a delusional person with no argument's method. Sure, anything can happen in the future, maybe one day we'll find out rape while encased in a newly discovered compound can make the victim gain eternal happiness and the future will decide that eternal happiness is above all, even consent and that our present way of thinking is backward and archaic. But for now we're dealing with the present and rape is a completely immoral act of evil and should not be excused in any circumstances. And the only transpeople here with bad views and a poor understanding of what actually needs to be done to improve the lives of transpeople as a whole is you. Though it's pretty amusing you're so quick to throw around transphobia even though you immediately denied that I might be transgender. I mean, I feel pretty "agender" right now. I don't consider myself either masculine or feminine or abide by either stereotype. That should qualify me as "agender". What else is needed right? At the end of the day to deny your child what they literally intend to be because of some crazy identity politic ideals is just filthy selfishness and makes you no different than anti-vaxxers. --- </topic> ...

In other words, you're using the present to parse the future in a hypothetical vacuum. And still you find a way to be transphobic. Pray tell how wanting recognition of our identities as valid is possibly a bad idea? How is not wanting our identities dismissed based upon science that isn't even 100% accurate bad? How is wanting our identities accepted without regard for our presentation and passability remotely bad? The only person throwing bad ideas into others arguments here is your side, BTW. " well gunplagirl said something I don't agree with, maybe she also believes in these other things I don't agree with." Go ahead and find what views of mine are harmful though. And be sure to designate how, with regard to intersectional issues faced along socioeconomic and racial lines in particular. But that's expecting too much, I'm guessing? Because it would require you actually agree that privilege exists and minority groups don't have it. Oh but wait, you brought up rape as though that's even fantastically reasonable as a comparison. And I said you're not because you said " I must be" in a context after saying I'm not. Now, there's this whole concept in the English language where certain things can be implied or inferred. And the implication was very strong given the intonation. --- Pokemon Moon FC: 1994-2190-5020 IGN: Vanessa ... Copied to Clipboard!

As for your edit, if you think it's even remotely comparable to anti-vaccination hysteria then you're at least acknowledging being trans is dangerous, but the source is misplaced. You can't say you support trans people if you want to erase them, regardless of the intention behind how you'd erase them. Medically speaking there's very few medical risks in transitioning and all can come down to
A) external sources such as medical discrimination, abuse and other violence from others And B) hormone related risks which aren't very high and the issues are the exact same their cis counterparts face from the hormones. Being trans isn't some lethal disease and isn't able to be spread to others. Intellectual dishonesty is not admirable at all. --- Pokemon Moon FC: 1994-2190-5020 IGN: Vanessa ... Copied to Clipboard!

Honestly, you're fighting AGAINST what most transgender people want. Acknowledging you as your gender identity IS recognizing you as your identity. But you also want being trans itself to be recognized? Isn't that completely against the aim of transgenderism They want to be viewed as the gender they are, not something different. You actually WANT to be seen as different from cis/biological women? Transgenders who are so uncomfortable of their biological sex that they feel dysphoric of their bodies certainly don't want that, to have people think there are any male aspects in their presentation. This is what I mean. You're not fighting for actual transgenders. You're fighting for your little subsect of non-binary "tucutes" aka tumblrinas who treats gender like clothing. With your mindset you're literally going against what most people with dysphoria (you know, the ones with the most suicide and violence against them, and who actually have good reason to be treated as the other gender rather than "I'm special") desire. The mindset that harms the transgender community is yours. gunplagirl posted... Oh but wait, you brought up rape as though that's even fantastically reasonable as a comparison. Sure it is, rape being exonerated as something that can help people is just about as likely as something other than the brain that would locate gender. It's just a showing of how fantastically unreasonable your statements are. Again, what else could it be, your soul? But then again you've once said biological sex doesn't even exist so I don't know why I'm arguing with a complete loon like you. gunplagirl posted... And I said you're not because you said " I must be" in a context after saying I'm not. Now, there's this whole concept in the English language where certain things can be implied or inferred. And the implication was very strong given the intonation. Nah, that's subjective and speaks more about your mindset and how you're willing to dismiss your own ideals as long as it's against your opponent. --- </topic> ... Copied to Clipboard!

As for your edit, if you think it's even remotely comparable to anti-vaccination hysteria then you're at least acknowledging being trans is dangerous, but the source is misplaced. You can't say you support trans people if you want to erase them, regardless of the intention behind how you'd erase them. Medically speaking there's very few medical risks in transitioning and all can come down to No, being trans means you want to be the other sex. That's the whole point of the term. That's why so many people still commit suicide after transitioning and how transitioning itself has so many things like hormones and changing your lifestyle. You really think your child would WANT to go through transitioning, changing their lifestyle in front of their peers, to having to consistently use drugs as medication and at the end still not fully getting what they want? It's like being anti-vaccination because you're not thinking about your child. You're only thinking about your own selfish ideals. Here's even a smaller example. When you get your transgender baby, are you going to name them their biological sex, or the gender of the sex they're transitioning to (if you can't bypass that by giving them an androgynous name)? If you choose the latter, it's basically the same thing here, bypassing a transition aspect, on a smaller less significant scale because you can't completely turn them into the sex they want like the hypothetical treatment. By your logic you would be naming them their biological sex because that way they'd get to be trans when they change it later rather than be born with the name they want. --- </topic> ...
