As a consequence, have a person’s kids taken away? Or should there be any consequences?

****PLEASE READ

I’m straightforward and don’t want to give any ‘fluff’ So I don’t know how else to ask this question without it sounding rage baity.

This isn’t a gotcha or trap to argue with anyone I feel and believe I can learn something of value from people I disagree with. It is interesting to know why you disagree and what reasons make you feel x y and z about things.

I’m here to listen, not judge or throw around name calling or fight with you. You feel the way you do for whatever reason, and I want to know a little more about why you do and that is it.

I would like for everyone to feel confident voicing how they feel about this question. I don’t care if I disagree with you. Fighting with you is not how I’d like to spend my evening. I’m sure you don’t either.

I might ask follow ups like, “Why is it that you feel that way?” Or “can you tell me a little bit more” so I can understand your point of view better. And that’s it.

If that feels too much or you don’t want to. Totally fine. Just ignore my comment to you.

Thanks for your time.

      Yes, the right does, in fact hammer the point home about detransitioning. I will not deny that.

      In your opinion, is there, or what could be a ‘good’ middle ground on the issue of some people who detransition.? Do you think there ever will be middle ground on it?

      I watched a talk with Blair white and some others who are trans talj about detransitioning. I don’t remember the name of the YouTube channel that hosted it.

      However, I can find it if you’d like for further clarification.

      Anyway, that seemed to be the general consensus on detransitioning. That we don’t know that much about it, and the only thing we can do is learn from it and add it to research.

      In your opinion, do you think that is the only option we’ll have ?

      Thanks again for answering

        the right does, in fact hammer the point home about detransitioning.

        Social detransition can be done by anyone at any time they like.

        Medical transition though has one of the lowest regret rates of any medical procedure people go through. More people regret life saving cancer treatments than regret transition surgeries for example. More people regret plastic surgery than regret transition surgeries. Fill in the blank. More people regret surgery than transiton surgery will be true for pretty much any surgery, that is how low regret rates are.

        “The right” hammers home outright lies and misrepresentation, because their goal isn’t to get facts out there or to encourage valuable discussion, their goal is to make it harder for trans folk to access medical care, and muddying the waters is part of that.

          So far in this thread I’ve seen you claim there’s less regret for transition surgery than for:

          • knee replacement
          • life saving cancer treatments
          • plastic surgery
          • “fill in the blank” (meaning what? everything?)

          Where do you get these numbers from?
