Depends. Are they asking you to partake in their psychotic delusions? You can be medicated AND not be enabled in believing untrue nonsense at the same time. My brother is bipolar with schizoid tendencies. He hears voices. Do you believe the best course of action is to change society around until his delusions become widely accepted? Or should he be medicated and told that they are just a figment of his imagination?

Incorrect! I explained it very well the first time. Please refer back to my enjoyment of the gender is a spectrum game. A man can never be a woman and vice versa.

hi! i think we have different definitions of “psychotic delusions”. transgender peoples brains actually tend to reflect that they actually have characteristics skewed more towards their desired gender, which means it’s far from a delusion. also, it doesn’t hurt anyone, actually quite the opposite. it is a form of harm reduction. i’m not saying a man can be a woman. no men who are comfortable in their gender is going around transitioning just for the fun of it.

I don’t care at all what trans people do. Transition as many times as you would like. Trans “women” do not belong invading women spaces of any kind because they are not women. Trans men I don’t care what they do. Women and men are not the same and should not be treated the same. You’ve venturing off the original topic and making a characterization that was never offered. Nobody is advocating for stopping trans people from transitioning. I’m against pushing your delusional shit onto others and attempting to shame them for not thinking how you do. I’m against grown men with denser muscles and bones beating the living hell out of women in sports and taking away their ability to compete.

Edit: You almost got away with it. You’re wrong. It doesn’t harm reduce in any way whatsoever.

if you look up some articles about trans women competing in sports, some of them go into depth about how after some time on hormone therapy, trans women do not retain their physical edge
