This year, we celebrate Trans Week of Action and work against dangerous transphobic legislation progressing all over the U.S. ok this is not a bad thing. gender dysphoria is normally described as extreme discomfort with one’s body (not an exact definition). therapy is important when someone is going to make a major life change as a result of a mental illness. also getting doctor’s recommendations before prescriptions is a safety thing. for everyone. again, it’s a very big step that you’re taking “gender affirming surgery” is purely cosmetic. it just is. we don’t allow minors to get cosmetic surgery, why would it be any different for trans people? and you don’t have to bind for 10 hours a day. again, binding has been proven to be dangerous and there is no safe way to do itI’d have to find sources for the parents forcing their kids to be trans “myth” because it definitely does happen, I just need to find the examples that I have. if anyone wants to link some themselves then that’s good too! Little is known about the effects of puberty blockersWe need balance when it comes to gender dysphoric kids.

I’ve seen that! Sure it might not be super common but that doesn’t mean it never happens.“It’s a lot harder to get hormones in other places”And in some places it’s a lot easier. And yes, there are even some states that allow top surgery before 18.“99% of people who transition don’t regret it” Apparently this comes from a small, very old study that found only like 1% of people detransition. People calling themselves trans has increased literally like 1,000% since then, and the rate of detransitioners is definitely higher, too. We’d have better data if gender clinics actually tracked it but they don’t. It’s also worth noting that several other studies have found that childhood and teen dysphoria goes away over 60% of the time, some studies found it’s retained less than 10% of the time! Even if these people don’t regret transition it’s also just as true that they would have been just fine in their original body, and not have wasted so much time and money on hormones and expensive surgeries.“Gender affirming care is supported by all major medical organizations!”Because they’re the ones profiting, ya dip. Medical malpractice isn’t a new concept. Find uncensored reblogs here, for as long as this note lasts. Sounds like a well adjusted individual. The only reason someone could be unconvinced by your buzzword filled garbage and ableist neurosexism is because they’re in a “cult” naturally. Remind me again which one of us believes in inner souls that need affirmation through the physically altered body? Only one of us is promoting thought terminating cliches and internet exclusive slogans like implying ‘black trans women’ (black gay men who you identify as straight) are the second coming of Christ. When men like Laverne cox are out here appropriating the work of actual feminist activists like Sojorner Truth to say “well if black women are women, men can become women right?”The answer is still no sir.@vitariesocks you’re making a pretty massive racism allegation here, gender roles can be unique amongst cultures but this idea of inner gender identity and soul affirming sex change is not actually the norm in these cultures that you’re tokenising. Gender identity is a purely western concept made up by John Money, Robert Stoller and other sexologists. The bottom line is to correct homosexuals that don’t fit. Best I could recommend for your gender historical science is sexologists altering intersex peoples bodies to fit a standard or sterilising homosexuals and autistic women so they fit their masculine and feminine roles more correctly. You know, the feminine or masculine brain that you believe in. From hijra to fa'afafine these roles are universally saying that gay men and intersex people are not quite men, (or even humans), but something ‘other’ that is either marginalised for its otherness or worshipped for it. If you’re naive enough to believe these cultures are exempt from human societal faults like homophobia and sexism that influence all social roles even before the white man, you believe in a ‘noble savage’ ideology. But yeah…. “science” -- source link
