You HAVE all info, you have a high-speed source of information on the device you literally used to comment this. I agree, political smokescreens are stupid, so let's hear from the actual medical societies what they have to say based on established research: American Psychiatric Association (July 2020): "Due to the dynamic nature of puberty development, lack of gender-affirming interventions (i.e. social, psychological, and medical) is not a neutral decision; youth often experience worsening dysphoria and negative impact on mental health as the incongruent and unwanted puberty progresses. Trans-affirming treatment, such as the use of puberty suppression, is associated with the relief of emotional distress, and notable gains in psychosocial and emotional development, in trans and gender diverse youth." The Endocrine Society (December 16, 2020): "Medical intervention for transgender youth and adults (including puberty suppression, hormone therapy and medically indicated surgery) is effective, relatively safe (when appropriately monitored), and has been established as the standard of care. Federal and private insurers should cover such interventions as prescribed by a physician as well as the appropriate medical screenings that are recommended for all body tissues that a person may have." WPATH Standard of Care: 72 pages outlining acceptable transition processes in both minors and adults, which includes puberty blockers, hormone replacement therapy, and once the patient is an adult if they so choose, sex reassignment surgery. American Academy of Pediatrics (October 1, 2018): "Often, pubertal suppression creates an opportunity to reduce distress that may occur with the development of secondary sexual characteristics and allow for gender-affirming care, including mental health support for the adolescent and the family. It reduces the need for later surgery because physical changes that are otherwise irreversible (protrusion of the Adam’s apple, male pattern baldness, voice change, breast growth, etc) are prevented. The available data reveal that pubertal suppression in children who identify as TGD generally leads to improved psychological functioning in adolescence and young adulthood."

They made it through black lists and police state collaborators snitching. They made it through asylums and bashings. Our big siblings threw fucking bricks and held riots. They were knocked down by legislation and batons and still got back the fuck up. They lived through a fucking plague. While standing in solidarity with various other communities fighting for their rights as well. And now WE inherit those alliances and histories and vow to NEVER go quietly.

A non -PC comment ! Yeah, I hear you. I've had unwanted touching ie people invading my boundaries from both men and women. I think this is fueling hate as a family value - fear of pedophiles.

I think people should have the right to choose who their partners are, whether they want to have a baby or not ( I'm pro-choice ) especially considering the El Salvador Seven " women who were jailed in El Salvador for having abortions. Thrown in jail for a long time for wanting the right to choose. So bodily autonomy - having rights over your own body, is something that I value.

I don't want a boy in the bathroom with my daughter full stop. This is so crazy

[@aliceslab]

no one is saying let cis men in a girl's bathroom, you are trying to force women to go to the mens room which is unsafe. meanwhile your daughter isnt in danger from a trans women/girl. no more danger than any other cis women. the fact you let your guard down to cis women means you dont actually care about her safety. its about you hating people not wanting to protect like you claim

[@aliceslab]

@@Mouffon unwanted sexual harrassment and advances. i have boobs, i look like me now and im not looking to get raped. some may even tell you to leave because you dont belong there. or they may just beat me up if they think im in there because im trans and a lot of people have unwarranted hate for no reason. cis women talk about being uncomfortable being around men (women in reality) well imagine how i felt my whole life being forced to be around real men spaces when i wasnt one. equation, im weaker = unsafe.

[@aliceslab]

@@Mouffon no im not male to female, i was born female. im a female that was born with sex cell error. but yes i am a trans woman because my brain is biologically female and i am my brain not whatever deformity grows on me. you dont call someone cancer just because they grew it. well sex cells are cells too and they can grow wrong. you dont define things by its damage, you define it by what it would have been if no damage or error occured. trans women are four times more likely than any other group to be raped or killed. doesnt matter where. its just especially easier when you are in a room with one exit. im not in school but waiting to go back to college as a biology major studying genetics. sexual orientation can be a factor but we are talking about places divided by sex/gender not sexuality. you are actually defending my original point that if someone cares about safety they wouldn't discriminate. cis women are just as much a threat to other cis women as cis men are a threat to other cis men. the whole thing is everyone that hates trans people makes us out to be the only people that are a threat. so pushing us out of our own spaces isnt making anyone safer its putting us in danger meanwhile no danger would occur more than normal by me going the bathroom, washing my hands and leaving. yes cis women do harrass trans women too but you dont worry about rape as much from other girls so it doesnt matter you just leave when they ask you to. i would have no problem leaving if another girl asked me to. im not trying to stay longer than i need in there anyways i have stuff to do. im not out to make people uncomfortable. lucky i pass though and no one bothers me. i try not to use public places anyways though.

[@aliceslab]

@@Mouffon you arent able to understand my life because you just are granted certain things that you cant imagine being taken away from you. from a young age my gentiles caused me stress and discomfort. secondary sex characteristics working against you as well. being addressed wrong all the time by everyone, having gender expectations put on you that your female brain does not succeed at any of them. open ridicule because you have emotions and because you fail to be a man for people even though youre a girl. then you have to go the bathroom around men, changing rooms around men. i said real men, because for some reason people think trans women are men. pretty odd to include women into the definition of men. as if women with genetic illnesses dont exist. thats why i had to clarify because real men have male brains, some men are born with sex cell errors too and have female genitalia. trans men and cis men are real men. men belong in male places, females belong in female places. the problem is people want to science denial and it creates a difference in how people view someone. but that's not consistent if you let other people pick what they want you to be. its better to side with the physical evidence that im a woman than to listen to one group of people acknowledge im a woman, and another group deny that im a woman. if i left it up to all of you id be 20 different things before lunch. im the only consistent, reliable, and credible source of information on what or who i am, because i have physical evidence, not because i feel this way or that, but because i have proof. and why im more credible is because i have had a vested interest in the truth since i was a little girl confused at the horrors going on with me. versus clear bias against me that has the only vested interest in putting me down, taking away my medical freedoms, and public safety. its meant to ridicule me, its meant to make me depressed, its mesnt to make me give up and suffer. well im just not going to listen to that. people can treat me like shit, but you cant expect me to bow down and agree with your treatment or definition of my existence that benefits you feeling like youre more sane than someone else, or more superior than someone else. you are lucky to be cis, id rather be cis any day than the struggles i face that youve never had to go through. no girl wants to be ugly like this, its not fun just the condition itself, let alone all the hate we get.

[@Chicky_Lumps]

Problem is the word "judge" as used today doesn't mean what the word translated "judge" does in the Bible. Jesus and his followers admonished people who judged others in the sense of "deem unworthy of forgiveness / Hellbound." It's extremely clear Jesus never taught "don't think anyone's behaviors are immoral" since his entire teachings on forgiveness were based on people needing to repent of _real_ immorality to receive forgiveness. Not the "Don't be 'judgemental' and forgive others of sins that actually aren't sins" hogwash that became bigger in the '70s. Keep in mind this shouldn't even be controversial with non-Christians or even atheists, because regardless of what you think about the New Testament, it's not ambiguous at all what Jesus and his apostles were claiming on this issue.

I would ask all media to stop using the word "hate" to describe verbal, emotional, physical and written battery/assaults towards women, the LGBTQ+ community, Native American Indian, Black, Latina/Latino and Asian people 😢 The Penal Code describes these crimes as assault and or battery. Please do not minimize the severity of these crimes. And yes the perpetrator's criminal charges will be enhanced because he or she is a sociopath. In fact, the sociopathic parents that teach or train their children to "hate", batter and assaut innocent human beings should be charged with child endangerment. Sociopaths and narcissists are not born with sociopathic personality behaviors, children are trained and indoctrinated. 🙄Compassion, integrity, transparency and accountability for all!😷🙋‍♀️

Heritage and environment is said to affect how a person developes, so I suppose parents could be worried about what carries their loved child away onto anything. I think that people land finally mostly as their character was set from birth, meaning that if they are this or that, they were set out to be this or that from the beginning, they'll find a place where they feel most comfortable. If you see people happy and loving, what's wrong with that. Of course there are a mixture of all kinds of variations within any frame that never can be controlled, they come and go. People might try things out from curiosty and fantasy and still land where they find themselves at home the best. As long as there are no threats or evil behavior against anybody I accept anybody's sexual orientation.
