Current Events > Fox News with an unbelievably transphobic headline atm

(+) Yeah! (+)

Depends on how they mean. It probably is transphobic, but it could be worth looking into that MTF is more common than FTM.

I don't particularly care, but it could be interesting to look into for the sake of actual science.

Shut the fuck up

It's misleading because things like breast implants can constitute gender affirming surgeries. How about shaving down your jawline so it's not as masculine looking? Gender affirming surgery. I need to look at their sampling of data and what they constitute gender affirming surgery before I can say conclusively one way or another. As the headline is presented, it is totally transphobic.

I'm not all that alarmed.

Citation needed.

Trans femmes are more visible than trans mascs, but this is mostly due to sexist patriarchal social structures. You see this a lot currently in the bathroom debates; no one is arguing that trans men in the women's room would be a problem because we simply erase trans men from public discourse. The common image we think some is some twinky short-king because god forbid we acknowledge that your average trans masc just looks like a middle aged dad.

Fox News is not a source for serious data. Besides more MtF than FtM might be correlated to men having more money.

I've seen some transphobic "statistics" that included double mastectomies in teen and preteen girls.
There are medically valid reasons to get this done the split second a girl begins puberty (namely, a family history of an uber high risk factor for breast cancer. We're talking even-multiple-guys-got-breast-cancer-level risk.) This is known as a "prophylactic mastectomy." They are incredibly rare in minors (FYI, in HS I knew a 16yo girl who was a breast cancer survivor.)

lol at trying to mansplain the makeup of transpeople to a fucking trans person.

If it it was the "easiest" thing to find, you'd have cited anything.

but you didn't.

because you're just pulling shit out of your ass.

ah yes. The stereotype that trans men look like men. Because of course they do. Because they're men.

I'm glad you think that a 2 second Google search is somehow enough for you to have the slightest clue as to what you're talking about, but maybe when we're talking about a group of people that have been historically underrepresented at every level of society, we listen to the community?

Unless of course you think humoring the possibility that Fox News has any chance of not publishing transphobic garbage is more worth your time.

Depends on how they mean.

It's Fox News? It's transphobic.

Or ones that treat people that stopped jumping through hoops as detrsnsitioners to paint the narrative that 50% or more of kids "grow out" of being trans. They love misleading little studies like those to try to paint being trans as more disastrous and more "alarming." Much like they use one win in one event to present a "dominance" in sports while ignoring that the same sompetitor lost 5 other events or both the complainer and the complainee lost to a literal child.

My favorite is when they argue that transgender kids are just more depressed and prone to killing themselves, while ignoring the reality that these kids are subjected to shitty parents, a shitty medical system, a shitty school system, shitty "friends", and so on and so on.

Normally I'd encourage people to read more than just the headline, but it's literally Fox News

the fuck is going on in this topic

You are directly calling clear, blatant, anti-trans rhetoric against gender affirming care "probably" transphobic.

No, homeslice. It IS transphobic, the entire narrative attack gender affirming care is rooted in transphobia you just can't admit it. That headline is dedicated to driving fear against gender affirming care.

The first reply was a dumb post, and then a bunch of people responded to it

And man. Maybe if you had posted your sources the first time instead of jumping like a guilty frog.

Because I know if I post them you'll just lie again and say it's transphobic. So why bother?

You aren't going to listen. It doesn't matter what I posted. And I would for actual serious people.

Funny how it focuses on empirical data and a lack of consensus in the medical community, yet the headline for the article in the OP looked at just how many supposedly had these procedures.
