What is happening in the bottom left panel?

I've never blocked anyone on Lemmy. I only nlock instances and communities and out of thosr I've only blocked 3

And here we see yet another person screeching like a banshee over a Lemmy thread

You were overgeneralising your own argument by stating that if children didn't receive gender affirming care they would "likely kill themselves". That is what you said. The word "likely" is doing insane amounts of heavy lifting, however it implies that they are more likely to kill themselves than not. You are saying I am misconstruing your point when I understood it in the way that any other person would

Trans children are 4x more likely to commit suicide. Okay, well do you think that's simply because of there not being gender affirming care available? Or do you think its because of the actual transphobia perpetuated in our media and society that you accuse me of?

Sure, the AK47 example was a tad bit extreme and I will concede that it was a bad example, but the point still stands that children should not be making permanent life-altering changes. The fact is, the cost to society and the individual itself due to detransitioning will likely be greater

I support trans people and their plight for acceptance in this world but this rhetoric and ideology is not how you do it

I said it's an operation because... it is? What are you trying to say here?

I'm very much aware that gender dysphoria exists

And I think the treatment for it should only be given to adults due to the permanence of the operation, and the very real and common possibility of one wanting to detransition, especially if transitioning is done at a younger age

The cost to the individual and society is less if they're only allowed to do it as adults

If you genuinely think that gender affirming care is the same as cancer treatment then you are long gone

Funny how everyone here can't communicate about this without instantly breaking into immature behaviour

To say that every single kid who doesn't transition is going to kill themselves is such an insane and emotionally manipulative take. By this logic you could say that because a kid is going to kill himself because he won't get an AK47, you should give the kid an AK47

I hope you know that you can prevent secondary effects without always solving the original primary effect. It's a lot safer and cheaper to do so

Kids should not have the ability to make permanent life-altering decisions, period. We don't let kids get a tattoo or drink so why the fuck should they be allowed to change their gender

I wouldn't say I'm a transphobe since I'm not scared of trans people. I generally support causes for trans people except if its for trans women being in womens sports or trans children
