And when you look at the statistics on depression and suicide in trans people you it’s very clearly a bad idea

2018-09-01 07:45:35 UTC  

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.

2018-09-01 07:46:22 UTC  

Transitioning is a heavily flawed idea

2018-09-01 07:46:58 UTC  

It’s a questionable hardware solution to a software issue

2018-09-01 07:47:40 UTC  

“Doc chop off my arm, I’m actually a pirate”
“No, please take some antipsychotics”

2018-09-01 07:48:06 UTC  

One with gender dysphoria to that degree will not be “fixed” by mutilating their body

2018-09-01 07:48:19 UTC  

“Doc please chop off my dick”
“Congratulations Ma’am”

2018-09-01 07:48:28 UTC  

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.

2018-09-01 07:49:03 UTC  

The issue is the way society views gender dysphoria

2018-09-01 07:49:13 UTC  

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.

2018-09-01 07:49:23 UTC  

The issue is low key how society views gender

2018-09-01 07:49:32 UTC  

not to go all feminist

2018-09-01 07:50:05 UTC  

Gender doesn’t exist per say

2018-09-01 07:50:23 UTC  

Sex exists

2018-09-01 07:51:04 UTC  

It all boils down to biology

2018-09-01 07:51:25 UTC  

We have societal roles for the two sexes because they made sense for thousands of years

2018-09-01 07:51:30 UTC  

They still do, to some extent

2018-09-01 07:52:19 UTC  

I don’t think it’s bad to say men should support a family, for example

2018-09-01 07:52:28 UTC  

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.

2018-09-01 07:53:43 UTC  

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.

2018-09-01 07:54:06 UTC  

Idk man I like cute girly girls

2018-09-01 07:54:17 UTC  

I don’t like having those distinctions removed

2018-09-01 07:54:46 UTC  

We live in a society where there’s a standard of normality that should be upheld

2018-09-01 07:54:52 UTC  

Indeed

2018-09-01 07:54:55 UTC  

Social norms are good

2018-09-01 07:55:10 UTC  

We have thots because of a collapse of social norms

2018-09-01 07:55:20 UTC  

Or, well, a major change in them anyway

2018-09-01 07:55:25 UTC  

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.

2018-09-01 07:55:38 UTC  

Not normal guy would want to be overly feminine

2018-09-01 07:55:45 UTC  

These norms will self enforce and those that don't conform are a better fit elsewhere.

2018-09-01 07:56:14 UTC  

Outliers like tomboys are expected

2018-09-01 07:56:28 UTC  

It’s also not a masculine personality per se

2018-09-01 07:56:33 UTC  

But to go farther than that is where issues arise

2018-09-01 07:56:52 UTC  

Just a woman with male hobbies or style

2018-09-01 07:57:19 UTC  

Pushing those boundaries is bad

2018-09-01 07:57:23 UTC  

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

2018-09-01 07:57:50 UTC  

You have to keep people like that in check

2018-09-01 07:58:09 UTC  

Why?

2018-09-01 07:58:09 UTC  

Or else the societal norms degrade

2018-09-01 07:58:13 UTC  

Don’t tell them they’re supposed to be women or men or vice versa

2018-09-01 07:58:19 UTC  

Traps or tomboys are fine
