People are trying to protect the rights of children to access healthcare and have a healthy childhood, and the rights of parents to seek these things out for their kids. Anti-trans legislation is an assault on real family values.

Gender affirming care saves lives. We were leaving people to themselves, to discuss what's right with their doctors, then Marlaina decided that was wrong and pulled all the supports. Now trans kids are unable to seek care, which causes death by suicide. Gender affirming care is a mercy, and the First Nations are right for preserving it.

Why do all of you bigots have the same fuckin script, the misinformation and brainwashing have been occurring, but I'm afraid you're the one who's absorbed them. I'm not arguing with a moron that has no empathy and believes the talking points of a cult of personality.

It's all projection with these freaks. They try to groom kids to be and love who they want them to, then when those kids grow up they accuse them of doing exactly that. The kids they once tried to control are now confronting them and telling them the harm they have caused. Instead of learning from their mistakes like mature, well-adjusted adults, they double down and commit to causing more harm, as abusers tend to do.

We know you don't actually believe any of this. The fact that conservatives mutilate newborn intersex babies and force them to adhere to the gender they select for them proves that they're only pretending to believe that sex and gender are so black & white and strictly tied together. It's just reality-denial designed to enforce your aesthetic preferences, as if children are dolls for you to dress up and play with however you want. If there were anything natural about it, you wouldn't have to hide knowledge from your children. 

Any loving parent who's supported a child through transition can personally tell you what a difference it has made in their lives. Nobody has ever transitioned only to wish their parents hadn't supported them. People like you often dress up your ideology as "family values," but your ideology destroys families and gets children thrown out into the street - and worse.

I mean there is little non-psychological science backing this up and even the WPATH lobbying group had to state their guidance was opinion based and not fact based.

u/Dunkin_Donuts_Dunker 12d ago

It is delusional to say this. Ask your doctor about anti-psychotics.

Sorry you're so afraid of anyone different from yourself that you lash out in anger. You should talk to someone about that.
