@Nomad1556 That doesn't answer my question.

@hyperspacedev Why do you allow them to control your actions?

@hyperspacedev So if Gab didn't have hate speech, you would support it?

@hyperspacedev Hmm, can't log on with my @gab account...

3. When their brain's developed. (This means around 25 y/o. One can now decide if they want their brain to remain the same or be affected by "transition" surgery.)

@jump_spider Also being from America and supporting freedom I do this people should be able to "transition", no matter how unethical that might be. The age question is a good one. I see three logical views:

1. Age of consent. (At a certain age, you can make all self-affecting sexual choices.)

2. When puberty is over. (This means at around ages 10-14 for girls and 12-16 for boys. They know what being their birth gender is like and can decide if they don't like it.)

Also chopping off a penis is different than ripping out your cheek. Sure, you've lost a part of your body that helps you eat by keeping food in your mouth, but at least you can still eat.

If you get castrated, you cannot procreate. End of story. It completely removes a bodily function. It's more akin to getting two feet amputated.

@jump_spider Firstly, it often consists of genital mutilation, and sometimes includes taking a dangerous level of opposite-sex hormones. Apart from that, people who transition often regret their decision later and wish to reverse it.

But some people have the procedure done and are fine, ignoring the self-injury aspect. Although it's morally wrong, it's more important to address these procedures targeting kids. If a kid has these procedures done, his or her bone plates will not develop properly.

@jump_spider They're biased but they're not wrong

@uncletrunks@radical.town It's their God given right to fire you

@dtluna Exhausted but pretty good

iPhone prices are certainly an issue, but not the main reason I’m an Android fanboy. (After all, the new iPhone is now cheaper than the new Pixel.) Androids are just more secure, and more easily customized.

Will I trade security for memojis and iMessage and AirDrop? Heck no.
