LGBTQIA+ally working against prejudice/bias/hate/phobia/bigotry etc..gearing-up for generational fight moving toward another civil rights movement where basic rights are actually finalized nationally for ALL. Always glad to have decent fact-based debate :)
Fact: those we'd today call trans/gender diverse etc exist in all history, all regions, and cultures impossible to connect..so by definition such identity CAN'T be some shared "ideology/cult/religion etc"..however, notion trans identity is invalid/shouldn't exist absolutely can ONLY be based in such
sadly, we're clearly at a point trans are being perseceted with little help coming. It will be critical to even more indepedently meticulously track/record/PROVE harm average folk see as hypothetical to trans is REAL and hypothetical harm to cis shouldn't supersede it www.nature.com/articles/s41...
No real medical reason trans are mentally ill. That was always based in biased idea trans can/should be "cured". We now know that's false and attempts to become cis/hetero fail/double suicidality. Besides, even if it was..nobody deserves to be discriminated against for who they are. This is heinous.
Increasingly clear a core motive of heinous laws concerning Id's/facility use etc IS constant forced outing of trans. imo It's become modern-day trans equivalent version of Jewish Yellow Badge/lgbtq pink triangle. Serves ZERO purpose but cause harm/ostracize/humiliate/harass/make trans lives harder.
imo, critical we constantly remind the ignorant: methods to change to cis/het fail AND double suicidality. individualized GAC is ONLY treatment w/ any data of any quality shown to help.."do no harm" sets goal MOST kids LIVE, not forced conformity. GAC bans ARE the harm www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Turning humans into "ideology" or "ism" is fascist-style dehumanization tactic to attempt to claim "we don't want to eradicate the ppl, just ideology"..prob? can't separate out being trans. also trans always existed and in ways by def CANT be shared ideology..but notion trans are invalid can ONLY be
"common sense" appears to now just mean oversimplification and/or ignoring all facts more complex than toddlers can grasp to just go by whims of how dolts "feel" about something..seriously people who have LITERALLY actually taken away women's rights lauded as feminists because..trans? true insanity
prob? dems/harris etc spent months pandering to mod/center RW/ind voters..Refused to defend trans or commit to reduce offensive arms to Israel etc..that lost far more of LW base than could be gained by said voters. imo, if Dems want *winning* coalition, they need to get LW base back VS move more RW
Actual truth is GAC has among highest success rates of any treatment of any kind for any condition..it's become blatantly biased double standard for GAC apparently 100% success rate proven ONLY by "high quality data" (unreasonable in case of treatments like GAC) is required to be considered valid.
imo? truly beyond insane after 14rs RW/Tory leadership and watching everything fall apart bit by bit, people voted Labour seeking "change" but the party ended up fully embracing/moving toward RW policies..now Labour is floundering, somehow folk think answer is move MORE to RW like w/ Reform? really?
cultural genocide by invalidating trans identity entirely to eradicate/erase them from public life/society was always core motive of RW/GOP etc. No rational compromise was ever possible or they'd care about facts..but it's basically ALL provable lies and facade of "concern" covering sinister intent
imo huge mistake to think there was ever any "compromise" possible with RW/GOP etc here. their motive, from the start, was FULLY invalidate/erase/eradicate ALL gender diverse/trans identity from public life/society. iow def of cultural genocide. The intent was always sinister in veneer of "concern"
2/vast majority of facts are on trans/GAC side. key argument to dismiss the data is it's "low quality". it's blatantly biased double standard as NOTHING else, esp like GAC when most "high quality" methods wont work/would be unethical, would be banned if had same amount/quality data supportive as GAC
by "it's complex issue" I think you mean "I won't listen to facts I don't like and will ignore pleas of trans/parents (not you) being actively purposely harmed. that's evience trans suicidality is ALREADY increasing due to these laws..you sound like a willfully ignorant sociopath..sorry for your kid
imo? also notable basically all RW/anti-trans etc say of trans is based in *provable* lies or at best manipulation of fact. Facts/science and basic compassion etc are ALL on trans side, yet much of LW isn't simply being "outspent", they are purposely investing about NOTHING to defend..not even words
takes effort to understand why what you posted is fundamentally flawed, designed to give vaneer of respectability to spread bias. "low evidence quality" bit is manipulation. NOTHING else would be "banned" if had even close to same amount/quality data supportive as individualized GAC for trans youth
truly insanely blatantly biased double standard being set for malpractice/risk to benefit ratio for GAC. NO type of treatment for any condition is 100% success required to be valid. Individualized GAC is ONLY treatment shown to help trans at all and has among highest success rate of ANY/ALL medicine
clear sign trans are being persecuted is constant baseless blame/demonization. MS media needs to recognize THEY help foment this by both sidesing "concerns" of bigots while NOT debunking provable LIES of GOP/RW/anti-trans while NOT giving equal voice to actual experts/trans themselves etc to respond
you not read the studies? fact is denial/removal of GAC does mean LESS kids live. sadly, that's no hyperbole/empty threat etc..which is partly why folk must more than ever independently meticulously keep track of predictable preventable harm coming. it already started: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Gov is best equipped. they are disappearing research, already conducted, showing reality of trans life and which happens to debunk many GOP LIES about trans..iow erase..if researchers can't reference FACTS, key data can go unknown. it's akin to burning of research by nazis (began w/ trans then too)
2/ it is critical average folk who actually might care, even in slightest and possibly wondering about GAC in good faith, start recognizing that basically EVERY single thing Trump/RW/GOP/gc/terf/anti-trans etc say concerning trans is based in outright *provable* LIES or at best manipulation of fact
perspectives? GAC bans WILL KILL kids. question becomes if you care..invidualized GAC is ONLY treatment shown to help trans at all. attempts to change to cis/hetero fail and doubles suicidality. NO replacement exists. THIS is predictable preventable harm to REAL kids: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
just a note: restroom ban initiated by Nancy Mace and Speaker Mike Johnson has only been in affect for a few weeks and Mace and Lauren Boebert have *already* accosted a cis woman in the restroom..NO incidents with trans EVER at the Capitol. GC/TERF put a target on backs of everyone and endanger ALL!
fact is individualized GAC is ONLY treatment w/ ANY data of ANY quality shown to help trans. no magical therapy exists and attempts to change to cis/hetero dont work/DOUBLE suicidality. LESS kids even LIVE by GAC bans not that less will be trans. harm already started: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
3/eventually folk like you will have to grapple w/ actual truth it's ONLY treatment w/ any data of any quality shown to help and treatments to "change" to cis/hetero don't work/double suicidality..what's your goal? cause THIS is what you are doing.. why don't you care? www.nature.com/articles/s41...
2/go ahead, try to provide one..and claims of studies showing "no improvement" in depression/suicidality is manipulation as things like PB PREVENT such from getting worse, goal isn't to "improve" to start..yet those STILL showed trans affirmed stayed at base rate while trans not affirmed got *worse*
except that isn't truth, you are spreading provable lies. only reason you wouldn't care about that is if you are already biased against trans identity. in EVERY study comparing suidality of pre op to post op trans and those who sought and could vs could not access, depression/suicidality diminishes
that is manipulative LIE and it's disgusting many like you still repeat it. The study people MISrepresent to claim such compares suicidality of Post Op trans to general population and obscure controls, not pre-op to post op trans to general pop or trans who sought and could VS could not access GAC
treatments to "change" to cis/hetero don't work AND DOUBLE suicidality (All imaginable has been tried). Individualized GAC is ONLY treatment with ANY data of ANY quality shown to help most trans. THIS is what YOU/GOP/Trump etc are doing: questoin is why don't you care? www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Awful. Sadly, imo time to prevent much harm to trans is gone. A critical task becomes to meticulously track/record said inevitable/predictable/preventable harm. many folk are decent, yet ignorant, including my own fam. As harm becomes incr irrefutable, imo many will care..best wishes and love to all
