And when you look at the statistics on depression and suicide in trans people you it’s very clearly a bad idea
To him, transitioning is a last resort when medication and therapy fail. which, they sadly have for him. He's had it since he was 9.
Transitioning is a heavily flawed idea
It’s a questionable hardware solution to a software issue
“Doc chop off my arm, I’m actually a pirate”
“No, please take some antipsychotics”
One with gender dysphoria to that degree will not be “fixed” by mutilating their body
“Doc please chop off my dick”
“Congratulations Ma’am”
When all else fails transitioning is a suitible coping method, but the dangerous and experimental surgeries make it a huge danger. I don't think theres an argument against "soft" transitioning like name changes and crossdressing though.
The issue is the way society views gender dysphoria
There needs to be better solutions but they're not being persued, byecause people just leave it at "transition", ingoring the regret and suicide rates.
The issue is low key how society views gender
not to go all feminist
Gender doesn’t exist per say
Sex exists
It all boils down to biology
We have societal roles for the two sexes because they made sense for thousands of years
They still do, to some extent
I don’t think it’s bad to say men should support a family, for example
No, but we act like it does. It's actively enforced in some cases. IE the social stigma of crossdressing. At the core, theres no reason a skirt is "feminine", but a man is berated and called gay or trans if he decides he likes wearing them. This causes a lot of confusion for people who don't conform to these roles, and this is reinforced by the left who takes this confused people and tell them that they don't like skirts. Their problem is that they were born in the wrong body.
Gender norms exist for a reason because of natural differences between sexes. however, these differences already manifest naturally and there. Tehy don't need to be enforced.
I don’t like having those distinctions removed
We live in a society where there’s a standard of normality that should be upheld
Indeed
Social norms are good
We have thots because of a collapse of social norms
Or, well, a major change in them anyway
Girly cute girls will exist naturally becasue females tend to be agreeable and open. However, "tomboys" have a personality that is traditionally masculine, and they shouldnt be forced to be feminine.
Not normal guy would want to be overly feminine
These norms will self enforce and those that don't conform are a better fit elsewhere.
Outliers like tomboys are expected
It’s also not a masculine personality per se
But to go farther than that is where issues arise
Just a woman with male hobbies or style
Pushing those boundaries is bad
Yes, and that's my point. tomboys and traps will always be outliers, so whats the point in enforcing this? It only causes tomboys and traps to think that the y were "supposed" to be men and attempt to transition, instead of understadnign that females can be mascuiline and males can be feminine, even if its rare
You have to keep people like that in check
Why?
Or else the societal norms degrade
Don’t tell them they’re supposed to be women or men or vice versa
Traps or tomboys are fine
