At this point there are literally hundreds of anecdotes of these people trying to inject themselves into the world of children (drag queen story hour, books for kids, drag shows for kids, twerking at parades in front of kids, etc. etc).
This is not debatable in the evidence is there for everyone to see. What’s worse is that if there are normal people in these communities, as you lefties say there are, none of these people are denouncing the behavior of the freaks in these communities trying to get at kids. And it seems like a ton of you liberals are OK with it too, that’s the problem. You’d rather tacitly approve the victimization of kids than be labeled some type of “ist” . Cowards

This rests on the assumption that sex is determined by chromosomes. Chromosomes influence the development of sex but they aren't the only determining factor. Again, genocentric biology is old-hat. Genotype =/= phenotype.
Neural development depends on pre-natal hormones more so than DNA or chromosomes.
Back off, Warchild.
Seriously.

If someone is born as a biological male but identifies as a female to the point of taking hormones and altering/removing genitalia they are mentally ill. That isn’t debateable. But even with that being the case, I haven’t seen anyone trying to ban sex change operations for adults. All we’re saying is don’t push it on children and don’t force other people to play along with your delusions. If someone is anorexic and weighs 60 lbs I shouldn’t be required to agree with them and say they’re obese. And if someone imagines themself as the opposite gender I shouldn’t be forced to play along with them.
Again, your take on this topic is completely terrible. Saying “I don’t think being gay is right” and saying “they shouldn’t give children puberty blocking hormones” are not even close to being equivalent.

Just let people be themselves and mind your own fuking business. And if it affects you at work, and you can't handle it, get another job. You don't have the right to dicriminate.

And no matter how much you want to consider it perfectly normal or reasonable, if a person manipulates their hormones and mutilates their genitalia to get their body closer to their “ideal” state in their head it’s a sign of mental illness. Lots of bodybuilders have mental illness. Anorexics have mental illness. And transgendered people have a mental illness. That doesn’t make me “transphobic” and I don’t hate anyone based on their condition just like I don’t hate anorexics for being anorexic. Facts aren’t transphobic or bigoted, they’re simply facts.

Yep, the litmus test to determine if someone is just squealing on a forum or if there is really a crime being committed. It reminds me of that retarded thread in the misc accusing me of being a cannibal. Or the other retarded thread SIMP made accusing me of molesting children in Thailand.
If you really think someone is molesting children, or eating people, do you make a thread on the misc? No, you report it to the authorities. If there is evidence of the crime, they will take action. The fact they're not contacting the authorities pretty much confirms they're making it all up and pretending to be angry about something.

Again, I don’t hate a person for that aspect jsut like I don’t hate a person for being chronically depressed of bulimic. But pushing it and acting like it’s a great thing to be celebrated is harmful. Just like pushing all of the garbage that has lead to the surge in anxiety and mental illness in teenagers(particularly females) is harmful.
I think labeling it a mental illness doesn't matter. You can consider it one if you want. What difference does it make?

Social contagion aspect? Lmao it is just more accepted now. It's not like you can be convinced to be a tranny. People have been jacking off to the female body forever. Not seeing your point here. I agree that the pride parades and chit are annoying and forced wokeness is lame. But seeing a trans char once in a while doesn't bother me. Other than that, I don't see how it is being "pushed" on anyone.
Literally "think of the children" from the right.
It's lulzy af how those who call everyone an NPC demonstrate the exact same behaviours as those they call names

If you don’t even recognize the social contagion aspect of it then we can stop there. Percentage of people identifying as something other than their biological sex doesn’t go up 8-10 fold just because they can talk about it now. They are told it’s awesome. They are told it’s basically a huge club where everyone will love you(which is what basically every awkward teen and preteen want more than anything). It’s glorified in the media, on social media, by teachers and other authoritative figures, in entertainment, and by their peers. OF COURSE that will influence people. But also, there are lots of people who identify for year or two just like a teenage phase(because all teenagers go through phases trying to establish their adult identity). If it really was due to just being allowed and there was no societal influence involved they would never go back to being their natural gender. You wouldn’t see this huge increase in de-transitioning that is starting to emerge. But we see those things. Why? Because there are social forces pushing people in those directions, whether you realize it or not.

Where is this huge incidence of detransitioning occurring? It's certainly not reported in the literature (upper end of estimates are ~3%)

It's all become a lie. The whole notion of, let your child have gender reassignment surgery (which is odd that it results in a different sex male or female, but sex and gender are somehow different according to JLC), or you will have a child that takes their life if not, is a complete lie..because the whole movement is based on fear, intimidation and lies.
As a child most of us wanted to be a Teenage Mutant Turtle or a Transformer, but parents did not validate these fantasies because children go through stages of development as they grow. I liked football one year, but baseball the next. I realize I don't need to tell you this, but giving children drugs and performing life altering surgeries because a child FEELS they are in the wrong body, which they have no doubt been influenced by peers, social media, woke teachers, and a child wants attention, is undeniably dangerous.

This. If anything, I am seeing a lot of hostility toward trans people due to politics now making a big deal of it. Most used to give zero fuks about this issue. Now, everyone cares strongly about it even when a lot haven't ever met a trans person.

Remember when they had drag queen story hour in Portland, and some dude took photos out of context and picked the worst ones to make it look bad, and I challenged people to report them to the police for assault if they thought a child was being harmed? Remember how not a single one of you filed any report and how literally zero were arrested? There were literally cops and parents at that event too. It's all rhetoric with you guys.
IMO DQSH is a giant troll and shouldn't exist at all. But no, people are not openly molesting kids at these events. There are almost always cops there because of the counterprotesting. And I find it hard to believe you'd find that many parents all getting together to openly offer their kids up for molestation. It makes zero sense.

Chloe Cole is a great example of this and speaks about the attention she would receive and how it changed on a dime after detransitioning.

https://bigthink.com/health/transgender-detransition/
Previous research based on data collected prior to 2015 found that just 1% of people detransition after undergoing gender-affirming therapy. However, studies conducted in the past few years find that the rate is likely between 2% and 10%. The apparent increase could be due to reduced scrutiny before starting hormone therapy. Transgender issues have unfortunately grown ideologically charged, even in the scientific community. Both transitioners and detransitioners deserve utmost and equal care and compassion, as well as unbiased scientific study.
In 2017, Dr. Kinnon MacKinnon, an assistant professor of social work at York University in Toronto, thought that transgender detransitioning wasn’t really a thing. Sure, a few people who undergo gender-affirming therapy halt or undo their medical interventions and re-identify as their birth sex, but they are so few in number that their experiences don’t even merit study. After all, doing so might provide empirical firepower to anti-trans forces, he reasoned.
Six years later, Mackinnon, a transgender man, has significantly shifted his stance on detransition. In the past few years, research, including his own, has shown that rates of discontinuing or reversing gender-affirming medical or surgical interventions are likely higher than thought. Even worse, some academics still refuse to study or acknowledge the matter at all, as he once did.
In the last decade alone, transgender acceptance and visibility has greatly grown. This long-overdue attitudinal shift has been accompanied by skyrocketing rates of youth gender dysphoria, a sense of unease due to a mismatch between someone’s biological sex and their gender identity. According to a Reuters analysis published in 2022, new diagnoses among patients aged 6 to 17 grew from 15,172 in 2017 to 42,167 in 2021, nearly doubling between 2020 and 2021 alone.
Lmao at thinking that all of that is just attributed to social acceptance
The seismic jump in youth gender dysphoria, along with vague pre-treatment assessment guidelines, and a lack of trained mental health professionals could lead to higher rates of detransition. Dr. Michael S. Irwig, a board-certified endocrinologist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center who specializes in transgender health and a member of the faculty at Harvard Medical School shared his concerns on the topic in an article published last year in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.
“There is reason to believe that the numbers of detransitioners may increase. It is quite possible that low reported rates of detransition and regret in previous populations will no longer apply to current populations,” he wrote.
The most recent research appears to confirm Irwig’s worries. Studies conducted in the past few years find rates of detransition ranging between roughly 2% and 10%, higher than the 1% previously reported.
Currently, most seem to be erring toward the latter consideration. As an unintended consequence, more people are transitioning whose gender dysphoria might not stem from mismatched sex and gender, but rather from some other psychological difficulties perhaps originating from anxiety, depression, or troubles at home.
“The full extent of regret and detransition in young people transitioning today, under vastly different circumstances than in the past, will not be known for many years,” Sarah Jorgenson, a pharmacist and PhD student at the University of Toronto wrote in an article published earlier this month in the Archives of Sexual Behavior.
Previous research based on data collected prior to 2015 found that just 1% of people detransition after undergoing gender-affirming therapy. However, studies conducted in the past few years find that the rate is likely between 2% and 10%. The apparent increase could be due to reduced scrutiny before starting hormone therapy. Transgender issues have unfortunately grown ideologically charged, even in the scientific community. Both transitioners and detransitioners deserve utmost and equal care and compassion, as well as unbiased scientific study.
In 2017, Dr. Kinnon MacKinnon, an assistant professor of social work at York University in Toronto, thought that transgender detransitioning wasn’t really a thing. Sure, a few people who undergo gender-affirming therapy halt or undo their medical interventions and re-identify as their birth sex, but they are so few in number that their experiences don’t even merit study. After all, doing so might provide empirical firepower to anti-trans forces, he reasoned.
Six years later, Mackinnon, a transgender man, has significantly shifted his stance on detransition. In the past few years, research, including his own, has shown that rates of discontinuing or reversing gender-affirming medical or surgical interventions are likely higher than thought. Even worse, some academics still refuse to study or acknowledge the matter at all, as he once did.
In the last decade alone, transgender acceptance and visibility has greatly grown. This long-overdue attitudinal shift has been accompanied by skyrocketing rates of youth gender dysphoria, a sense of unease due to a mismatch between someone’s biological sex and their gender identity. According to a Reuters analysis published in 2022, new diagnoses among patients aged 6 to 17 grew from 15,172 in 2017 to 42,167 in 2021, nearly doubling between 2020 and 2021 alone.
Lmao at thinking that all of that is just attributed to social acceptance
The seismic jump in youth gender dysphoria, along with vague pre-treatment assessment guidelines, and a lack of trained mental health professionals could lead to higher rates of detransition.

Irwig, a board-certified endocrinologist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center who specializes in transgender health and a member of the faculty at Harvard Medical School shared his concerns on the topic in an article published last year in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.

Can't fukin believe even you are behind this. Seriously WTF??
I've seen that one already, and her story is heart breaking. It's still anecdotal. The goal here is to minimize overall harm. Most trans don't detransition or regret it.
Just a side note, I can completely understand Bodhy’s eagerness to give children hormone blockers & affirm their gender surgery, but you…? SMH

I've always advocated for some guard rails on this chit. It should be decided on a case by case basis with doctors, parental input, psych evals, and a thorough explanation of the pros and cons to the person.
If there were a way to get trans folks to become more accepting of the bodies they were born with, that would be great. Unfortunately, it just doesn't work.
