  1. People willingly traded the rights of women and other marginalized people for cheap gas and milk. That's what hurts the most.

  2. More Biden means the country won't get appreciably worse during the next four years, as long as we keep Republicans from taking a majority in loser seats. More Trump absolutely terrifies me wrt project 2025. The choice is clear, as much as I hate it.

  3.  @kylezo  you think that Trump won't make it even worse for them?

  4. 14 year olds don't get "gender changing surgeries." They'd get hormone blockers until they get a little older and have had more time to think. Then they may get hormone therapy if a doctor agrees it's the best choice for them. Considering less than one percent of people go on to regret this in adulthood, i think most reasonable people would agree a 99 percent satisfaction rate for any medical procedure is pretty excellent. No other medical treatment has such a high level of satisfied patients.

  6.  @martind2520  It's not "made up by doctors." It's reported by the patients. Yes, I know laser eye surgery has a low satisfaction rate. Trans medical care, however, consistently rates around 97 to 99 percent across every single survey, study, and paper. Sorry: the science is in. Transition works.

  7.  @martind2520  I don't see anything in there showing an 11 percent regret rate. It states regret rates of 0.6 for transwomen (sic) and 0.3 percent for transmen (sic). Can you quote the bit of that study that supports your assertion of 11 percent regret?
    6
  8.  @martind2520  You do realize we were talking about regret and you then went on to cite a study which specifically was about how regret and detransition weren't the same thing, while conflating the two yourself? You cited a rate of detransition of 11 percent.

  9. Why do you think that is what is happening? Gender nonconforming kids still exist. No one under 18 can get "sterilized." Heck, it's difficult enough to get your tubes tied as an adult, but you somehow think people are gleefully performing these surgeries on kids? What world do you live in?

  10. It would, if there was data showing that the sui rate doesn't go down after transition. Fortunately, all the data shows otherwise.

  11.  @tedgemberling2359  Mate, literally no one denies that people born male have different bodies than people born female. That's literally why trans people transition. Testosterone suppression negates nearly every advantage that people born male have over people born female. Everyone has different hip bone shapes, and they overlap a lot more than you may think. Less than fifty percent of people born female have the stereotypical gynecoid hip shape. Then there's android, platypelloid, and anthropoid. About twenty percent of people born female have the android type, which is very close to the pelvis shape of people born male. It's more common in cis women who've been athletic during their formative years and taller cis women.

  13. Sometimes children need medication or medical care, and in those cases we ought to ensure they have it. If doctors decide puberty blockers are beneficial for a child under their care, then they ought to be able to have it. I can see your heart is in the right place but you seem to not have too much information about puberty blockers and transgender youth.

  14.  @martind2520  Such as? Citation please.

  15.  @martind2520  The study you cited backs up the extremely low regret rate. If you can find one with more than two or three percent regret, you have failed to show it, yet you keep puffing about how "no study has got thr numbers." We have multiple studies though, and the numbers we have are consistently extremely low. A reasonable person would agree that if study after study after study shows low regret rates, it would seem foolish to insist they just be wrong, and no one knows, and there isn't enough information. Repeating the same studies over and over and expecting them to be different this time for sure ... Well, it seems a person who does that is fishing for a certain result. And that's not generally how science is done.

  16.  @martind2520  These are all for wildly different procedures from wildly different years. Blanchard's paper (lol) is fron the 80s, and one of the patients said they regretted it because they were nonbinary. Nonbinary transition was emphatically not an option in those days. Remove them from the pool, since they could access transition to their true gender nowadays, and the rate suddenly falls below 3 percent. The largest regret rate there seems to be about 6 percent, specifically for clitoroplasty in 2009, a highly specific and specialized surgery. And out of the 15 patients who cited regret, only 2 cited major regret. 13 cited minor regret due to minor loss of sensation. It's not fair to lump them all together as "I regret my surgery." Not sure why you didn't bother to cite that most of these are only slightly above the 3 percent figure I cited, and some fall below that when you account for people who would have had better surgical options nowadays. Couldn't be because you're just hoping no one will look into it, and will imagine that when you're saying "These studies are all more than 3 percent!" people won't realize you mean "They're 3.2 percent" (de Cuypere) lmao.
    4
  17.  @martind2520  Yes, technically, 3.2 is more than 3. You got me. When I said "around 99 to 97 percent" a reasonable person would totally not agree 3.2 percent regret is "around 97 percent satisfaction." You're not being unreasonable at all by trying to claim that I must not know how numbers work here. Congratulations.
    4
  18.  @martind2520  If you have to believe that "Some studies have shown a rate of 3.2 percent regret" when I said "about 99 to 97 percent satisfaction" means the same thing as "The 99 percent satisfaction rate is made up by doctors who have a financial interest in it" then sure. You can conclude whatever you like. I can't stop you.

  19.  @martind2520  I am sure that calling it "the surgery" is a little less informed than simply "not knowing every single possible treatment any given doctor may offer" lol If we're going to go off of my original statement, which you continue to insist on, I was talking about puberty blockers and HRT for trans youth, period. Not "any transition procedure for any age."

  20. 1. Puberty blockers don't castrate. 2. About 200 trans boys under 18 get top surgery every year, in the entire United States and the regret rate is about 1 percent. For every Chloe Cole, there are 99 boys whose lives were vastly improved by their surgery. Whom do you value more? 3. There are about 2,000 cis minors who get a mastectomy every year.... for gynecomastia. Is that also "crushing"? Or is that OK? Why or why not?

  21. She's entitled to her opinion, but you don't get to use her as "my trans friend agrees with me guys".

  24. ​ @whayes3rd  1. Yes, there is no known biological marker for gender. Gender is an identity, it has nothing to do with your physical anatomy. 1b. Men and women can do whatever they want. This includes trans men and trans women, as wl as cis men and cis women. It doesn't define them as a person, it's simply their gender. What does it mean to "feel" left handed? How do you know your favorite color? Can you describe to me why you are the gender you are without using anatomical terms or language? How do you know? 2. It's true that brain scans have shown more similarities between the brains of trans and cis women than trans women and cis men, however they're not a reliable indicator of transness because brains are a spectrum. You cannot look at a brain scan in a vacuum and say "yup, that's a woman's brain." The scan results are interesting, but they're just one piece of a bigger puzzle. 3. Gender identity can be fluid, but for most people it isn't. Just like sexuality can be fluid, but most people are either straight or gay or bi/pan or ace, and that doesn't ever change. 4. Gender dysphoria is a specific type of "not feeling right." There are a litany of mental health disorders associated with "not feeling right" but mental health professionals have diagnostic criteria to identify which one it is. For example, is it depression? Or bipolar? Or maybe it's just stress? It could also be a vitamin deficiency, or a thyroid condition. There are numerous conditions that can seem similar to a layperson, but that's where the professionals come in and help.

  26.  @martind2520  When citing hrt and puberty blockers in particular, yes. Your figures were just citing any transition procedures, as a whole, period. 14 year olds aren't getting clitoroplasty, as studied in Lawrence et al, like you cited. But I'm definitely the one manipulating statistics lol But maybe you don't actually know how many procedures are available to trans people, considering you just said "the surgery" lol

A couple of people who were filming it shouted "we're coming for your children" to make it look like that was the chant and y'all swallowed it hook, line, and sinker.

It wasn't like he was getting some punitive damages for false accusations or something. It was merely "Yeah, this is the wages you should have gotten during that time, here you go."

  31. "gender affirming care for minors renders them sterile and often with limitations on their future sexual functions" This is not true. Do you know what gender affirming care is?

  32. 21:25 The most important thing here is that the pollee knows a trans person. Time and time again, knowing a trans person (or gay person, or black person, or any other "scary" minority) has been shown to make these people more tolerant and more in favor of progressive laws. If you know a gay person, you can see firsthand that they're not the scary boogeyman that politicians make them out to be. And it's harder to vote against someone's interests when you've got a personal face to put to it. It's easy to vote against a nameless, faceless vague entity. But you can't vote against Bob . You know Bob. Bob is a good person. You like Bob. I'm not saying any marginalized person has to put themselves in harm's way by meeting and rubbing elbows with folks who hate them, but representation matters. Even seeing marginalized groups represented on TV and in media helps (like the Golden Girls gay episodes).

  33. ​ @imaginateur2422  Babies aren't trans. But most kids know their gender by age 4. Are you saying you didn't know what gender you were when you were a kid? Why are trans kids any different?

  34.  @immanuel_shadowhammonds2813  Yes. Which is why it's strange that, if you support freedom for all, you're supporting a politician who explicitly is campaigning to encroach upon peoples' freedoms. Especially our freedom of religion.

  35.  @martind2520  No, because that was for puberty blockers and HRT, remember? That initial statement of mine you keep circling back to? You can't just insist that we focus on the number and ignore the rest of the sentence, but I suppose I shouldn't expect any better of a transphobe.

  36.  @lemonmeat  They were initially designed for precocious puberty, which can occur in any AGAB. They're also frequently used as a treatment in people who have certain types of endocrine cancers, like prostate cancer. They're not used to block periods afaik, we use certain types of hormonal birth control for that. And yes, they are 100 percent reversible and there are zero studies which show long-term harmful side effects, despite their being used on trans children since the 90s. People like to pretend there's some difference between using them for precocious puberty and using them for trans children, and that one is harmful and the other isn't, but can never actually describe why it's different. They just stamp their feet and say "It just is!"

  37.  @martind2520   @martind2520  That's not caused by puberty blockers. That's caused by late onset of puberty. We've known for decades that age onset of puberty is inversely correlated with bone density later in life (one such study: Association Between Age at Puberty and Bone Accrual From 10 to 25 Years of Age, Ahmed Elhakeem, PhD, 2019). Furthermore, 12 is a fairly late onsent of puberty, it's between 8 and 13 for afab children and between 9 and 14 for amab children. So since you're so concerned with optimal bone health in children, you would support inducing puberty in children at the earliest healthy age of 8 in afab children and 9 in amab children? A young boy whose puberty doesn't happen naturally until age 14 is going to have weaker bones than a trans boy who was on blockers between the ages of 12 and 14, because puberty blockers are administered after pubertal onsent (Tanner stage 2). Unless you're saying that naturally later onset puberty causes "permanent damage." But that would be a ridiculous claim. But of course, you knew all this, because you wouldn't dare start wading into a conversation you know nothing about with such loud opinions and accusations of lying. Right?

  41. "Trans" what? You don't even know that "trans" isn't a noun, so why should I trust anything you say about trans issues?
    2
  42.  @ryanthomas9306  I agree it's often utilized as a noun, and that's the problem. Utilize means to use something outside of its intended purpose. And no, transgender isn't a noun either. Someone isn't "a transgender" any more than they're "a tall" or "a short." It's an adjective.

  44. We used to lobotomize trans patients, too. Modern medical treatments have a 99 percent success rate and significantly improve the lives of the patient. I'm sorry you don't approve of that. Fortunately, your opinion doesn't matter.

  45. ​ @erickricharson5196  Drag queens are not inherently sexual, they're just playing dress up. Did you know that most cast members in Disney parks playing Mickey Mouse are women? That's because Mickey is short, and it's hard to find men that fit his costume. Technically, that makes Mickey a drag king. Is that sexual? And your family is in no danger sharing public bathrooms with trans women. Apparently, though, trans women who just need to use the bathroom are in danger around you since you admitted you would enact violence against them if you saw them needing the same bathroom as your wife.

  48. A) No one is claiming one's gender identity is determined by biological sex, but I bet you'd be incredibly distressed if you suddenly began developing sex characteristics of the opposite of what you have. Puberty blockers are not "risky" and they're used for more than chemical castration on adults. On minors, we've been using them for decades to safely delay puberty. Your deliberately inflammatory sentence is the same as saying "Dihydrogen monoxide is a byproduct of nuclear power production and inhaling just a tablespoon is enough to kill you!" Yes, it is, and it's also water. Who thinks "all it takes to be a woman is some lipstick"? Who is claiming this? Do you think people are going through these surgeries and procedures because they genuinely improve their lives? Again, if you woke up tomorrow with the other sex's characteristics.... would you just shrug, and continue to go about your life as you did before, completely unbothered? B) No, that doesn't mean that trans kids have a mental disorder. Also, you should know, we tried "curing" trans people in the way you suggest for decades. That's what we did before we started saying "Hey, why don't we just try letting them live as the gender they keep saying they are?" because guess what? You can't change someone's gender. There is no psychotherapy that works. Because there's no psychological issue.

  49. Can you at least be honest? It was an orbital fracture, ie, the eye socket bone. A fairly common injury in a sport where women, cis women, have literally killed each other because the objective is to punch and kick your opponent in the head until they can't get up anymore. But I guess lying and saying she "caved her skull in" gets more people outraged, who cares about facts, right?
