I hate the pronouns including the usage of "They" it's painful to say and write, but i recognize the pain from misgendering of people with gender dysphoria

Stop being horny and desperate for an attention~
@numberonedonaldtrumpfan @JSDorn @borzoi @cosmo
> some of you care way too much tbh fam
it's not too much care.. it's basic human decency to recognize gender dysphoria
@Elfman @numberonedonaldtrumpfan @borzoi @cosmo @JSDorn
Feel free to propose a better solution until then this is the best we can do.

> People should be on hormonal medications permanently with horrific consequences for hormonal systems, bone density, etc
Do you have any credible research on that?
> People should be surgically castrated
> People should be surgically mutilated
yes that's the current treatment for gender dysphoria
> The rest of society should pretend that these people are the gender they cosplay as (gaslight everybody into compliance - "trans women are real women" is literally not true)
Using an uncomfortable pronoun to people with gender dysphoria inflicts a mental pain on them.. I am not aware of any alternative solution to that and personally i don't mind using the pronoun on which they look i just really hate `they/them` and `xe/xhe` and shit alike.
> Try exercise
i am not against that as i am not aware of a case where exercise wouldn't have a positive effect on the overall health.
> anti-psychotic medication, therapy or personal growth into faith
Agree that this feels unethical
> Nobody should have to participate in your delusion
i agree that none should be forced into a certain behavior what i argue for is for them to understand why is that expected from them so that they can make an informed decision.
@TinyFern @numberonedonaldtrumpfan @borzoi @cosmo @Elfman @JSDorn
Why is it unethical to continue with the current treatment for gender dysphoria by giving the affected people the option of a reconstructive surgery if it enables them to have a close to normal life instead of being locked up in a mental hospital?
> Oh this person is anorexic, we need to ~respect their view of themselves as a fat person~ and help them lose weight through liposuction until they're at their ideal body shape (i.e. starved to death)
I don't have a political opinion on that subject and i highly doubt that any licensed surgeon would proceed with liposuction on a malnurished patient (hypocratic oath).
> Oh this person has Munchausen syndrome, we should treat all their imagined illnesses because we can't possibly contradict their ~profound understanding of themselves~ so I guess we give them chemo and antibiotics until they die of complications.
I am not against giving Munchausen patient sugar pills and making them feel like we are curing the disease that they are convinced that they do e.g. instead of chemo giving them a ringer with laxative and things to make them feel bad or even other medication so that they temporarely lose hair and feel like they are going through a chemo on an imaginary cancer.
Like why would i be against it? It seems to have a major positive impact on their mental health that enables them to manage it..
> It's not about respecting trans people, it's about gaslighting you until you agree that objective reality is less important than their feelings.
Like if a patient with a mental disorder prefers to live in their own bubble with a distorted reality to manage their disease than why should I not support it assuming that it has a positive effect on their mental health.

I read the references and flagged the provided article as "missing informations" as the references provided e.g. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/gender-dysphoria/in-depth/pubertal-blockers/art-20459075 dependent party that fails to establish credibility and methods to verify their claims.
The research that you linked (https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0004563215587763) concludes:
> Cross-sex hormone therapy is integral to the treatment of the majority of people with gender dysphoria and is effective in inducing the secondary sexual characteristics of the person’s desired gender. Cross-gender sex steroid replacement can be associated with side-effects, for transwomen thromboembolism and for transmen an adverse lipid profile but provide psychological benefit to the individual being treated. With careful monitoring and the use of sex steroid preparations with more physiological properties, these therapies appear to be safe in the longer term.
and from reading the rest of the references i can't in clear mind conclude that the provided treatment is harmful or safe in a long run due to the lack of information.

i would say that about any religion, but i recognize that religion is critical in maintaining a society atm

I am not aware of any problem that affects me in terms of judaism
@hydramacready @numberonedonaldtrumpfan @borzoi @cosmo @Elfman @JSDorn @TinyFern
is that even a thing? Or like does judaism somehow affect you negatively ?
They don't need to be a "real women" per your definition to treat gender dysphoria
if you are capable of empathy then imagine being perma-depressed and in mental pain because of the way your body looks that's what gender dysphoria does to you and it can happen to anyone anytime.
So the reconstruction surgery one way of treating it the other is recognition by the society..
Like why would you want someone to kill themselves because you are too stupid to understand their condition? It's same as if you lost a leg and people were making fun of you all the time for it.
