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.

HAVE THEY? Please cite one that isn’t about stopping child mutilation.

i’m talking about gender affirming care for minors

Yea. Child mutilation. Do you want to take about how absolutely destructive puberty blockers are? Or about how surgeries are irreversible in this field? Maybe about how children have underdeveloped brains and haven’t fully formed identities yet? Maybe how we don’t even know the effects of these chemical castration pills on the brains of the youth? I’m interested in all of these and more!

most children are not getting surgeries or even puberty blockers. gender affirming care also includes gender therapy, which is extremely helpful if a minor’s struggling with their identitt

I don’t care if it’s even one child. That’s too many. This issue is where you will lose all support from normal people. You’ve pushed too far. The boomerang will return.

the normal people statement is irking me. how are trans people any different from “normal”. also why should it matter if the child grows up to be comfortable in their gender identity and less prone to suicide or depression?

3

u/MarkyJ123456 May 03 '23

Remember how we talked about words having meanings? Normal: conforming to a standard; usual, typical, or expected. You are not normal. It’s not necessarily a negative. You made it a negative by invading spaces for women.

u/d0wncasts0ul May 03 '23

it’s just a different characteristic trans women have. it’s like a taller or bigger woman playing against a smaller woman

Gender swapping isn’t normal. Certainly not standard or typical.
