I think it's only natural to not want children to be part of a group with very high suicide rates or otherwise be ideologically compelled to take life changing medication based on short term emotions and group pressure.

Hopefully you are capable of not only empathy but understanding for the opinion of others even if they fall outside of your beliefs.

Never mind of course that this is parroted from the same people who push conversion therapy, where pastors and whatnot abuse, rape and otherwise damage children in the name of “fixing the gay out of them”.

Nobody is giving children cross sex hormones, so can we retire that argument already and have an honest and empathetic conversation?

If you really think people who take cross sex hormones are doing so because they are ideologically motivated tells me you are too far lost in the sauce. You have been lied to repeatedly and believe lies.

Maybe it’s worth it to talk to some real humans in real life and try to listen?

What Charlie has advocated for.

The more you try to sane-wash the more you show what kind of person you are.

How about we listen to the actual doctors and not a political opportunist whose legacy is advocating for guns right after kids have died?

Ah yeah the totally not politically captured science that made the problem worse in the first place.

Not having a authoritarian knee jerk reaction after a tragedy is indeed the right and level headed response. Or do you also think there should be no privacy online because bad people misuse it?

The good thing about science is that it doesn’t need a “trust me bro”.
