Stonewall definition of trans doesn’t mention dysphoria and does include non binary I think. If not many other definitions do. I think you know very well that there’s a segment of the trans community that refers to people with the view that you must have dysphoria to be trans as “truscum”. It’s...

Should everything a child says be affirmed? What if a child says they’re evil? What if they say their fat? Which delusions is it acceptable to reinforce in children exactly in your opinion because it’s clearly not all of them I’d hope?

Is that being taught though? let’s be blunt here: humans can’t change sex. Full stop. We can argue about sex and gender and blah blah blah, but it’s a pretty stone cold fact. So being yourself is understanding that there is no right and wrong way to be a boy or a girl, not telling them they...

Should be able to access with a foreign IFollow and a decent VPN.

I think I may have quoted the wrong post or misread there on reflection my comment isn’t appropriate for a reply to yours. Let me ask a question more relevant though: you say transition gave you all this stuff. It could have come from a born again Christian. And be just as genuine. Would you...

I do love a ridiculous analogy you know me 😂 Smacking is a good example of this though. There’s people that will say any physical discipline is abuse and should result in kids being taken away, yet I’ve spoken to, for example Caribbean mothers who swear blind the reason it’s hard to control...

You’re suffering from survivorship bias though. Obviously you don’t talk to people who has fleeting gender dysphoria or dealt with it though therapy or anything else because you run in circles with people who’s dysphoria was sustained and who transition helped. But there’s many many people out...

OK, but what if you aren’t a good parent? What if you mentally, physically, or sexually abuse a child? Beat them? Starve them? Lock them in a box of live rats in the hope of turning them into Idris Elba in Suicide Squad? Did that QAnon guy have the right to kill his kids because he thought they...

Sorry don’t see why this is the case at all. Not sure how much you’ve read up on this but it’s very much a political ideology just like the ones listed on your wiki link. From: Misogynist Incels and Male Supremacism If that’s not trying to use violence to change how society functions I’m...

I loved Guardians of the Galaxy and there were heavy elements of it there from Gunns influence I think. Plus a proper over the top gory coni book movie is a nice change of pace from the family friendly stuff. Also just a good DC movie. I think most of the DCEU has been poor.

Moving away from the gender stuff. I think this is a fascinating topic. On one level kids have rights and on the other parents do too and I’m not sure where that right balance is other than to say we should tread very carefully and set the bar quite high for removing a parents right to parent...

Watched Free Guy at the cinema. The Suicide Squad and Hitmans Bodyguard rips I watched were perfect though. Surprised TBH, have they been on streaming platforms? I’ll watch any old shit but the missus has a strict no cams rule.

Bit of both. Been to the cinema twice but also my dodgy American mate with a Plex server is back in business.

No it’s the idea the parents shouldn’t be informed that’s the issue here. As for your second answer I think you’re very very wrong and I’ll leave it at that. As I say we’ve all got our own personal experience. Also the data doesn’t back you up.

If it was acceptance wouldn’t you expect a similar pattern to gay and bi people who went though the same acceptance phase? Why are transitioners who show no early signs of dysphoria often clustered and why do they present in girls at adolescence and in boys earlier or in middle age? Why has the...

Do you think everyone who has experienced gender dysphoria has had the same experience as you? Do you think everyone who identifies as trans suffers from gender dysphoria? Do you think we have clear diagnostics for detecting gender dysphoria in children and prescribing the best course of...

Fact is mate we can culture war this shit up and rant at each other or we can listen and understand and hopefully come to a sensible conclusion. Going in like Nick in a 5-a-side match isn’t helping though.

I was just asking for clarification. Though I might point to the stats on attacks on various groups I’d rather not play oppression olympics at all TBH. To be clear, I’d genuinely like to hear your thoughts on this. I’ve asked several good faith questions with that aim. I get evo is being a bit...

Why do you think the number of girls transitioning has skyrocketed in recent years?

I note dubed has stepped out of this convo and I’m genuinely sorry to see that, their voice would be valuable but like hill in the racism thread I totally get that they’ve better things to do than have this debate. I think I’ll take that as a hint to leave the topic alone, but that debate needs...
