Journalism is very transphilic. You have no idea what you’re talking about.

Why don't you educate us, then?

Your account has already posted quite a few flamewar comments. We have to ban accounts that break HN's rules like this*, so if you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and use HN as intended from now on, we'd appreciate it.

* (regardless of $topic or your or anyone else's views on $topic)

Ah yes, when it's the other side, it's concern trolling, but mine is just "basic human decency", a classic...

Well, it's not like you have any pretenses of not being emotionally invested into the question at hand, at least.

You caught me, I’m more emotionally invested in the actual human beings in my life than either the outlets throwing them under the bus for clicks or devil’s advocates engaging in some abstract debate that doesn’t impact them.

Why is it always the relatively new accounts saying this stuff? And zero instances of productive discussion, just "shit in the comments and make a new account in 6 months".

Astroturfing

I'm glad to see something that doesn't read like it was written by someone afraid of being punished as an apostate. Not everyone believes in this stuff.

Tell me more about your beliefs regarding the private medical issues of people who don’t concern you.

I would've hoped that most people oppose the idea of preventing children from properly developing into adults solely on the basis of them expressing a desire to be the opposite sex. It's medical child abuse.

I think a self diagnosed mental disorder that is treated as anything but private, which every impressionable child is made aware of during their developing years in public education, using insidious language and cultish tactics, providing gendered (ie social) care in the form of real sexual surgical solutions that are permanently damaging, concerns me greatly not only as a parent but as a human being. That's before we even get into my own history of gender dysphoria which would have been wildly different had I been born 10 years later.

Being trans, just like having autism, is not a mental disorder. The rest of the post is just repeating propaganda. Some empathy would go a long way.
