An 18 year old doesn't understand the ramifications of being a legal adult, yet is and learns through life experience. Transgender adults grow up from transgender children; why should a trans child have to "prove" they understand an experience, namely being cisgender, that they will never have, before they are allowed to medically transition? Who is the gatekeeper for self-actualization?

Strictly anecdotally, many of us report emotional and general psychological trauma experienced from the effects of natal puberty. With respect, we know exactly what it's like to be the gender we are; puberty typically only affirms it. If a child expresses genuine interest in suppressing their natal puberty, why should a parent not be able to consent on their behalf to puberty hormone blocker treatment, the same way a parent can consent on a child's behalf to get a lip piercing?

I'll follow the links tomorrow to give my due diligence, but I'm relaxing for the night.

What about phalloplasty and top surgery? Trans femme people are not the only ones who seek GRS.

The statement that vaginoplasty precludes reproduction is factual yet I do not think anything was meaningfully conveyed wrt morality. What about a bilateral salpingectomy? Vasectomy? Orchiectomy? Only the last is strictly related to GRS, but the former are voluntary surgical sterilization procedures in general. Are they immoral and if so, on what basis?

@freemo
Absolutely false. You forgot about the cheese

Thank you for sharing, I've added these links to my read later list 😀

That's a fair interpretation, and I definitely recognize mine is highly idiosyncratic . I just see being called "well read" as the functional equivalent of someone saying, "huh, neat." It signals a social cue rather than indication of interest and desire for exploration

@realcaseyrollins
What academic research has lead you to suggest that most of us regret medical transition?

In what moral framework is medical transition "morally wrong"?

What is the functional difference between someone who pays professional to surgically remove part of their cheek such that their teeth are visible (a well known though obviously extreme form of aesthetic body modification) and genital reconstruction surgery? Is one person's idea of self-mutilation not clearly another person's idea of self-actualization?

What medical research has lead you to suggest that hormone replacement therapy for medical transition dangerous?

Have you considered that a desire to detransition may have less to do with personal regret and more to do with how those of us who do not "pass" even after medical transition are treated by others?

To be frank concerning children who wish to medically transition, because they have not reached the legal age of majority and medical transition being still very much bound in legal approval, how would you suggest a child to be able to pursue medical transition at all? A 16-year-old girl can choose to have unprotected sex and there are many who believe she should accept the lifelong consequences and responsibilities that may result from her choice; why should that be different for a transgender child?

At this point in my life, being called intelligent or even well read feels like an insult because to me it's a way to dismiss ideas and arguments I support. I couldn't care less about how what I say reflects on my talent or education, beyond that I am attributed as a source or supporter; tell me what you think of the idea itself. I am no longer a precocious child performing for personal praise.

What's dangerous about transitioning?

Absolutely agree about how everyone needs to learn how to program and debug; if the Internet survives the biosphere crisis, I fully expect basic web languages to be considered a form of literacy in the future in economically prosperous countries.

This is embarrassing but I actually need to do more reading into worker owned collectives myself, so I'll be sure to toot something at a later date. The gist as I understand it is that it's a company where each employee is also a full owner and instead of generating profits for a legally separate corporate entity, profits are fully distributed among worker-owners. I imagine it's like if the entire company is unionized instead of the historical management/union dichotomy.

I only learned about them from the CSL (I think it is) that went around the fediverse a bit ago; a software license that can only be used by individuals and worker owned collectives.

The film. I'm sure the original is less vapid, but less than optimistic about the fridging
