@Disaletteritis "The lawsuits will be raining down soon..." Why soon? Why not from a hundred years ago, when the surgical transitioning started?

@Disaletteritis "allegedly that is not allowed...or is it?" If it is consensual, it's not. Kids can't get consensual gender afirming treatment, much less surgery. In places that transgenders aren't persecuted they can get social transitioning and hormone blockers. And with several years being follow-up and some luck, they get hormone therapy. Trans kids can't get any kind of surgery before 16th birthday, and even so, only very rarely. But the fun part is: In the USA, most of transphobic laws have clauses that allow non consensual sex reasignment surgeries on toddlers. So... Yes, sex reasignment surgeries are allowed if they are for non trans kids, non consensual, harmfull and in transphobic american states. The fundament for my claim: More than two-thirds of the bills introduced this year that would ban gender-affirming care for transgender youth have specific intersex exemptions. The controversial exemptions allow doctors to assign minors who are born with secondary sex characteristics as “male” or “female” through surgeries, hormones or other interventions. “So you’re saying that trans kids are too young to consent, but intersex kids aren’t?” asked Bria Brown-King, director of engagement for the intersex rights group InterAct. “How does that make sense?” Source: PBS NEWS HOUR -> Most state bans on gender-affirming care for trans youth still allow controversial intersex surgery

@Disaletteritis "was the practice normalized a hundred years ago?" This: Karl M. Baer (in 1906) and Alan L. Hart (1917) underwent early female-to-male reassignment surgeries, while in 1930 and 1931 Dora Richter and Lili Elbe had early male-to-female surgeries including (for Elbe) an ovary and uterus transplant. Baer, Richter and Elbe were aided by Magnus Hirschfeld, whose pioneering work at the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft for trans medicine and rights was destroyed by the Nazis in 1933. In 1952, American trans woman Christine Jorgensen's transition brought wide awareness of sex reassignment surgery to North America, while Coccinelle's 1958 transition did the same in Europe.

@Disaletteritis "that doesn't answer my question." Yes, it did. You asked if kids are being subjected to sex altering surgeries and the answer is: If they are in a state with transphobic laws, they might get one if they don't need it. "Was it a normalized practice?" Transphobics want to force people to live in the wrong body. Then why wouldn't they force it if they can? And you can easily check it if you search it. here's an example: Several doctors told Human Rights Watch that while they were increasingly uncomfortable advising parents to choose these surgeries, the operations are still taking place in their clinics. Parents said they still feel pressure from doctors to elect these surgeries. “The pediatricians are in a position of power. And if it’s an issue of parents being scared, that is the problem that has to get solved. It’s not really a matter of if you do surgery – that doesn’t make any sense, that’s not solving anything,” an endocrinologist and medical professor told Human Rights Watch. “When we’re trying to force people into cultural normative, hetero-normative situations, there’s a high chance that we’re going to make some major mistakes and harm people irreparably,” said a gynecologist on a team for “differences in sex development.” Parents of an 8-year-old born with atypical genitals said: “The doctors told us it was important to have the surgery right away because it would be traumatic for our child to grow up looking different. What’s more traumatic? This sort of operation or growing up a little different?” Source: Human Rights Watch -> US: Harmful Surgery on Intersex Children

@WeAreAllWittness "What violence? Where is it happening and is there video of Trans people being attacked?" Here's one example, that everyone and their uncle has already had heard: The campaign became hostile, with threats levied against Target employees and instances of damaged products and displays in stores. That effectively held Target hostage: The company was forced to make an impossible choice to either safeguard its employees and stores or continue to support customers who wanted to buy the products it was selling. In the end, Target opted to protect employee safety by removing certain items that it said caused the most “volatile” reaction from opponents.

@CarterDavis-nu6ey And: Why Is the Transgender Suicide Rate So High? You’re probably wondering, with the above results, why is the transgender suicide rate so high? There are many causes for the high transgender suicide rate, below are the facts associated with the high transgender suicide rate. 483,000 transgender people in the USA, fear retaliation and retaliation associated with their gender identity. There is a 14% unemployment rate for transgender individuals in the USA. Sexual abuse rates among transgender people are between 50% and 59% accordingly Physical abuse rates are between 39% and 47% in the transgender community. Barriers to appropriate healthcare. Transgender people who experienced discriminatory or interpersonal trauma were 29.9% more likely to engage in self-injurious behaviour. The results amongst black youth in the US, revealed 27% of African-American youth in the USA reported being physically assaulted, 15% were sexually assaulted, and 21% left school due to instances of harassment.

@Disaletteritis "plus reassignment brings other health issues that might shorten the individual's life span/quality of life." Which can be reduced, or even avoided altogether, if someone had started with puberty blockers when they start puberty, and then followed with homrmone theraly they will have less necessity of surgeries. And in some cases they won't even need surgeries. This should be prety obvious to someone that has the basic understanding of what puberty is. "Not worth the health complications for a small amount of "fulfillment"." Care to explain how avoiding suicide is "a small amount of "fulfillment""?

@Disaletteritis "same can be achieved without coddling them..." How? By forcing people to pretend that they are of their opposite sex? Why don't you try doing that before enforcing it into others?

@imaginedmountains2311 " I mean the only way to believe that bottom surgeries are not being performed on minors is by willfully and intentionally remaining ignorant. " Then it will be very easy for you to provide evidence for those surgeries. We'll be waiting.

@imaginedmountains2311 Ohh... Wait. You're actually right. Let us see who really is performing sex reasignment surgeries on kids, shall we? More than two-thirds of the bills introduced this year that would ban gender-affirming care for transgender youth have specific intersex exemptions. The controversial exemptions allow doctors to assign minors who are born with secondary sex characteristics as “male” or “female” through surgeries, hormones or other interventions. “So you’re saying that trans kids are too young to consent, but intersex kids aren’t?” asked Bria Brown-King, director of engagement for the intersex rights group InterAct. “How does that make sense?” Source: PBS NEWS HOUR -> Most state bans on gender-affirming care for trans youth still allow controversial intersex surgery

@Disaletteritis And: Transgender youth experience high rates of victimization, verbal harassment, and cyberbullying. For example, one study found that 58% of a sample of transgender adolescents reported experiencing victimization in school. We know that victimization and lack of acceptance are associated with suicidal behavior among both transgender adolescents and adults, and with suicidal ideation and suicide attempts among transgender youth. However, research has shown that even minor acts of acceptance, such as using a transgender adolescent’s chosen name and pronouns, are linked to positive outcomes, including reduced depressive symptoms, suicidal thoughts, and suicidal behavior. Other important aspects of transgender people’s mental health, such as depression, can be improved by access to gender affirmative psychotherapy or medical interventions, although research in this area is limited. One study found that when transgender adolescents were given hormone blocker medications to suppress puberty and then provided with gender confirming medical interventions in later adolescence, their body satisfaction increased and their rates of depression decreased. Future research should explore whether hormone blocker medications that suppress puberty specifically reduce risk for suicidal ideation and behavior among transgender youth, including the effects of the intervention on gender identity and adolescent development, weighing the ethical considerations inherent in providing treatment. The Endocrine Society and the World Professional Association for Transgender Health support puberty suppression, in conjunction with comprehensive mental health care, as a safe and effective treatment for transgender adolescents.

@CarterDavis-nu6ey "Castrating children when there is no medical need is “progress?”" You mean, like most of the transphobic laws have clauses that allow the forced of unnecessary sex reasignment surgeries of intersex kids? "Record rate of fatherlessness is progress? " The result of a bad sexual education in schools. "Record youth suicide rate is progress?" Again, the result of lack of tolerance and healthcare for transgender kids.

@CarterDavis-nu6ey Here's the sources for my claim: “State legislation in the US that targets transgender youth is also harming intersex youth,” said Erika Lorshbough, executive director of interACT. “When lawmakers propose and pass explicit exceptions for surgeons to operate on intersex bodies before the patients themselves can consent, it makes it clear that these bills are about erasing bodily diversity, not protecting anyone.” ###### Children with intersex variations are often subjected to “normalizing” surgeries that are irreversible, risky, and medically unnecessary. These surgeries are performed without the patient’s consent, most often taking place in infancy or early childhood. Surgeries include procedures to reduce the size of the clitoris, create or enlarge a vaginal opening, reroute a working urethra, or remove the gonads. These surgeries are justified by decision-makers on the grounds that they will reduce stigma and prevent gender dysphoria, but they often have the opposite effects, and also carry risks of scarring, loss of sensation, lifelong sexual dysfunction, urinary incontinence, psychological trauma, and permanent sterilization.

@CarterDavis-nu6ey And: Overall in these counties, teen birth rates dropped by 1.5 percent in the first year of TPP funding, but fell by approximately 7 percent in the fifth year of funding for an average reduction of over 3 percent during the studied period. Mark and Wu note that a small decline in teenage birth rates shortly after the introduction of sex education programs is consistent with past research, adding that, over time, these rates decline further—perhaps due to greater numbers of teens receiving the programming and coinciding with years in which they became more sexually active.

@Disaletteritis "intersex is an actual health issue where one gender is always more predominant and where sex reassignment has a legitimate reason to occur." What health issue? The vast majority of intersex people require no medical intervention of any kind. " Trans is open to a number of variables that might never end. " Care to demonstrate that? Because I never heard of something as silly as that. Literaly. What you claimed has nothing to do with transgerders. " and I made the distinction between the two issues you put forward. They are not same." Precisely. transgenders require intervention and intersexes don't.

@Disaletteritis "he issue with having children change genders is their brains aren't fully developed. " The same can be said about transphobics. And here is the real effect of transitioning: Adjusted multivariate analyses revealed greater odds of suicidal ideation (adjusted odds ratio (aOR), 3.86; 95% CI, 2.67-5.57; p < 0.001) and suicide attempt(s) (aOR, 5.52; 95% CI, 3.45-8.84; p < 0.001) before gender-affirming treatment compared to after [39]. Odds were adjusted for age, education, and gender-related discrimination. Potential interactions of psychiatric diagnostic history, psychiatric treatment after gender-affirming treatment, substance use, or time elapsed since gender-affirming treatment initiation were not evaluated. ####### Patients who received all of their desired surgeries had lower odds of suicidal ideation (aOR, 0.44; 95% CI, 0.38-0.51; p < 0.001) and suicide attempt(s) (aOR, 0.44; 95% CI, 0.28-0.70; p < 0.001) compared to those who desired gender-affirming surgery but had not received any. No interactions of history of mental health treatment besides gender-affirming counseling, substance use history, or time elapsed from surgery were utilized as potential confounders for initial and post-hoc analyses.

@Disaletteritis "She how that doesnt compute?" Doesn't compute what? "Regarding suicides, not all Trans people have suicidal tendencies..." No. Only the ones that don't transition or are persecuted by transphobia. "and the reasons for it vary..." Let us see the reasons. Shall we? The suicide attempt rate among transgender persons ranges from 32% to 50% across the countries. Gender-based victimization, discrimination, bullying, violence, being rejected by the family, friends, and community; harassment by intimate partner, family members, police and public; discrimination and ill treatment at health-care system are the major risk factors that influence the suicidal behavior among transgender persons.

@Disaletteritis " teaching self acceptance doesnt necessarily need to be done in a coddling fashion." Again, you try to pretend to be og your opposite gender. "Psychotherapy is valid." And again, you try to take psychotherapy to convert to your opposite gender. I heard that conversion clinics are on the rize in the USA, so there shouldn't be very hard for you to find a place where you can be tortured into a random gender.

@jimmy_xi9342 Experiment? What experiment? you mean, puberty blockers? They have been in use for decades. here's the source for my claim: These medications are well studied and have been used safely since the late 1980s to pause puberty in adolescents with gender dysphoria. They have been used routinely for even longer in children who enter puberty too early and in adults with a range of other medical conditions. Puberty-blocking medications are part of a class of hormonal therapies that include birth control pills, treatments for menopause symptoms, treatments for certain kinds of cancer, and more.

@WeAreAllWittness Also: Sadly, 2022 has already seen at least 38 transgender people fatally shot or killed by other violent means. We say “at least” because too often these stories go unreported — or misreported. In previous years, the majority of these people were Black and Latinx transgender women. In 2021, the Human Rights Campaign tracked a record number of violent fatal incidents against transgender and gender non-conforming people — with 50 fatalities tracked.

@WeAreAllWittness And: According to the 2015 U.S. Transgender Survey: Nearly half (46%) of respondents were verbally harassed in the past year because of being transgender. Nearly one in ten (9%) respondents were physically attacked in the past year because of being transgender. Nearly half (47%) of respondents were sexually assaulted at some point in their lifetime and one in ten (10%) were sexually assaulted in the past year. In communities of color, these numbers are higher: 53% of Black respondents were sexually assaulted in their lifetime and 13% were sexually assaulted in the last year. 72% of respondents who have done sex work, 65% of respondents who have experienced homelessness, and 61% of respondents with disabilities reported being sexually assaulted in their lifetime. More than half (54%) experienced some form of intimate partner violence, including acts involving coercive control and physical harm. Source: VAW Net -> Violence Against Trans and Non-Binary People
