@Al Capwned except for when it does

lol

RANK UP

@AlephKnoll gov always defines words

Legally, they have to, or laws become unenforceable and subjective

THEFT MEANS THIS. MURDER MEANS THAT. Etc.

Even down to "green energy" is gov defined. On multiple levels states can have their own definition from feds

Fed says hydro is green energy, oregon does not.

remember when that lady in Montana raped a guy

but she didn't get rape charges

because she didn't "penetrate" him?

thats where the "language" of law is stupid

fuck loop holes

all laws need to be gender neutral

amen

and separate sex from gender already

for fucks sake

oregon can suck the fed's dick @Goblin_Slayer_Floki

Most states updated those laws

@galesteppes they already do

All the time

Most trans people, also, don't want to debate their existence. Being trans doesn't give you a degree in biology. My trans friends and I, often just want to be in peace. This is something to note, which may help you understand why it makes me tired. Trying to justify my existence through rational argument, when I've seen no evidence that invalidates my existence, but also to similtaniously need to give evidence when the science behind brain science is preliminary and shaky, and points towards arguments in favor of trans people, is one which many trans people find tiresom and Sisyphian.

You can find articles that trans childrens brains match the gender they say they are.

I think that is fair, Mittens.

but their brains often have so much variability that how can you link it to "one gender?"

But hormone therapy is irreveversible

"Ive seen no evidence invalidating my existance" no one is invalidating existance, just validating it as a mental health issue. And youll never see that on cnn

That is the point of concern for many. What if it is the midern day lobotomy?

Hormone therapy have so many risks you be surprised it actually legal to do to anyone

I think that mental health shouldn't be stigmatized. Trans people often have mental health issues, but that is not because they want to be a woman. It is when they are not allowed to be one they they become suicidal. Let's not forget about a famous example from a few years ago, what was her name...

Her parents rejected her, and she committed suicide.

It shouldn't be pathologized either

As the article on trans suicide I posted showed you...

Anthony Bordain

"Results:
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."

Okay. But many teens commit suicide, it is an epidemic.

more men than women too

sadly

You realize most mental health conditions have a root cause. Gynder dysforia IS A ROOT CAUSE.

Do we know it was the trans part or the teen part?
