  • I genuinely want to know your view point.

    And after that, is a good example of a slippery slope argument. Which is to say, no I’m not.

    But you wanna know what’s reversible? Incarceration. We can give money and an apology. You wanna know what you can’t undo? Death.

    So to me, unless you have a system that can promises 100% guilty people are guilty, even with people using the system with dishonest intents, than no, Im not on board with the government killing anyone.

    So why should we keep those people locked up? Because I dont want to give that much power to an entitity that is currently killing and raping trans siblings in prison. Never mind if they legally can kill them all.

    Tl; Dr if you give a power, it can and will be wielded to abuse you. And there should be more limits there.
















  • My full opnion on what I’m am expert in is already posted in this thread. My own health care and experience.

    You asked for a viewpoint on one I can not provide. As I’m not a medical care expert. I defer to those I’ve already mentioned.

    And that doesn’t really address the second part. Your asking a trans woman to be an expert in something the vast majority of us are not. Your asking a minority to be an expert and a representivie of the community as a whole. Rather than the individual they are. My background is physics. I can answer quantum questions no problem. I can even talk stattics in a lot of different contexts. But medical care is not one.

    Its a common, but overhwleming, ask to be that expert, representative, or (calling it what it is) token.

    Thats why I’m rejecting the question. Not because it was asked in bad faith. But That it has no business being asked of a random asshat on the internet. And at no point should you trust the answer anyways.


  • And not to be rude, please do your own research here.

    I’m not saying this to be mean, I’m. saying it because I’m a random asshat on the internet. Find trusted sources, and find people who know more than me, an anon asshat.

    Also, Its not always… Good… To ask the repressed minioroty for education. Its fully well intentioned. But your deferring to my opniom as if I’m a medical expert. When I’m at most an expert in my own health care.

    My opinions om care are informed by opinions like paediatricians and other medical professional associations, all of whom say this care is safe.

    I linked in another comment these were first used in the early 80s, 45 years ago. There’s TONs of info.

    Now, like I said, not a medical expert. But I do have an acemic experience (degree in physics). I’ll say a good start is google scholor. Or looking for information on trusted places, like the medical associations.

    Thats not to say there aren’t side effects, there’s always risk with medical decisions. On both sides.

    There are many trans kids who kill them selves because transitioning isnt an option available to them. So saying ‘no’ to it, also has real risks.

    Edit: I provided a link in another reply

  • What medical change? Because your options were a lot leas than you think.

    The only one available to a 10 year old is puberty blockers. Those are 100% reversible, and are commonly used outside of trams health care. Theyre used to delay the onset of development. The process restart the moment you stop taking them. No long teem effects have been found the several times I’ve done literature review. If you have one please send me a peer review paper.

    This also is not done on a whim. This would be done in coordination with a psycayrist that also would explore those feelings with them. If not a Dr then a therapist for aure. I would want someone trained to explore gender vs sexuality with before asking for puberty blockers.

    And on a different note. Let’s say you did let your daughter experiment with gender.

    Go buy different name and pronouns, feel those don’t fit, and go back? Like what’s the long term damage. All I see is someone that comes out more confident that they’re a woman after that?

    I fail to see any long term damage that would have happened, even if you did medical intervention.
