All you really need to know, is that governments around the world will pay for transition, but not pay for detransition.

[@ericbutler739]

I need to know a lot more. Like why????

[@ozzy7455]

​@@ericbutler739 One of the biggest reasons that they won't is because of general statistics. There's a reason that surgical de-transition is so low or medical de-transition is so low according to statistics or hospitals. Because when those people go to hospitals to reverse everything they get told no. So technically if they are told no and nothing happens they're not considered a de-transitioner

I'm not sure about the truth of it but I recently heard that the Lobotomy was a legit surgical procedure. The problem was that some guy came along and developed the spike method which was meant to make it such that even someone that isn't medically trained could carry it out. I want to look into it but reading your comment kind of reminded me.

[@spiderguy418]

@@rctecopyright It was totally legit. From Wikipedia: “In the United States, approximately 40,000 people were lobotomized and in England, 17,000 lobotomies were performed.”

[@rctecopyright]

@@spiderguy418 To be more specific, I'm saying that Lobotomies may have actually been an effective but rare treatment due to the level of skill required to conduct it (had to be a brain surgeon), this was before the spike method (the equivalent of a nurse can do this now). Again I'm just going off of hearsay rn. But it made me think that maybe Lobotomies weren't all that bad at the start but then it kinda became what we view it as now.

Nowadays, I guess you'd say, at least on transitioning, I'm a Moderate. Personally, I'm against it, I think anything beyond using other pronouns for ppl under 18 should be illegal, but if you wanna transition after you're an adult? Hey... Whatever. Do you. Live & let live, I suppose... Ironically enough, I feel incredibly similar to Ronald Reagan in that I didn't leave the Left, but the Left definitely decided that they wanted to leave ppl like me.

It's not left or right. It's sane or insane.

Children can't get tattoos in most states.

[@matttriano]

Good idea or no?

[@sadespain01]

That's a fair point.

My heart goes out to all the children who are being harmed in this way. 💔 😭 It wasn't supposed to be like this. I'm sorry.

Sure, the female transitioned teenagers didnt think about having babies, breastfeeding, etc. at 12,13.... but her parents should have. The parents are guilty of being We Todd Did and evil.

[@rafaelorona1395]

I think my question would begin if we are talking about kids or adults. Because an adult transgender doesn’t bother me at the least, they know who they’re or who they want to be. Kids I just think people should take their feelings so seriously when it comes to gender expression because they don’t know who they’re yet.

[@terrancekayton007]

I agree. But we should focus more on The Parents of these kids, as forward thinking and good-hearted as they may be, what kind of parent allows their children to undergo irreparably surgeries. Their parents should undergo counseling, to assist in coping and adapting to these new found feelings and ideas of their kids, as well.

[@pabs5270]

You want to pay for a person (adult) to trans? I don’t, but increasingly we are, through ‘laws’ that mandate insurance coverage or state sponsored med insurance.

[@rafaelorona1395]

@@pabs5270 I actually don’t care. I pay private insurance and the only thing I focus on is that when I need medical assistance and services they’re available and affordable. If someone else is the plan and is transgender and get their surgeries approved by the medical plan, that’s great, that person also pays to the insurance and has the same right to use it as me. The same with state sponsored or simply Medicare for all type of plan if I’m already contributing and being properly taken care of, then I don’t care what others do or don’t do. Is simple. Live and let live.

[@Ryshaad]

@@terrancekayton007 the parents are sold the lie by the therapists and doctors, that if the kid doesn't transition then they'll off themselves. That's literally how they fearmonger the parents into submission. Even worse is the fact that it's the actual standard of care to affirm every step of the way. So if doctors don't comply with that standard of care then it can be considered "malpractice".

[@DecrepitBiden]

What about EUNUCH classification??? They need loving too.

[@terrancekayton007]

True. I wish there were more conversations, education and understanding about the very significant and important role of Eunuchs in biblical times.

25 percent failure rate is HUGE!

[@AdamBetweentheLines]

24% as a LOW number? In Australia it’s 3%…

[@ApacheMagic]

She misspoke the first time and corrected it later. It’s 24% of DETRANSITIONERS that report this, so the salient point is over 3/4s of detransitioners do not actually report/tell their doctors. The 3% in Australia would be a statistic based upon studies done on reported detransioners. So in reality it would be closer to 12% that detransition. And the total of people who deeply regret their transition but don’t detransition because the surgeries and shame are too much for them are not included either.

[@Marty234]

Its always someone elses fault. We need to stop expecting other ppl to protect us from ourselves. Other ppl (docs, etc) can give advice but its our bodies (as an adult), and as a minor our parents have a say, THATS IT

[@Guts-blood]

they are children people is are duty to protect them.

[@AndyPrimeOne]

parents are told it is transition or suicide, that is amazing amount of pressure put on them by medical "professionals"

[@Marty234]

@@Guts-blood If a teenager consents to something and so does their parents, then that should be the end of it. By the same token, they can't come back later and say "someone should have stopped me!". Take responsibility for your actions. No one should be able to tell a person what they can do with their own bodies. With underage ppl you have to add in the parents to the consent. This safety-ism and eschewing of personal responsibility that is running rampant today is un-American & needs to be called out everywhere it exists.

[@janeg8274]

God Thank You Hill for having the Guts to post this!!!!That you can not get a tattoo without parental consent But you can go to several states and get top and bottom surgery without your parents being there!!!!
