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
@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.

> Why is it unethical? Because a man cannot become a woman and a woman cannot become a man. You take someone who could be saved and damn them to a lifetime as an abomination.
I don't find it ethical to force such medical procedure on someone what i am doing is to provide my point of view and informations i know about it for the invidual in question to make an informed decision. If you have info that you think that they should know about then consider contributing that to a wikipedia.
@Crux_Invictus @numberonedonaldtrumpfan @borzoi @cosmo @Elfman @JSDorn @TinyFern
My view is that we lack the required technological and medical knowledge to make a full gender transition, but i also don't find it ethical not use the preferred gender of the relevant transwoman/man

you can quite easily change the form of a clay after it was shaped and dried to pretty much indefinetly as long as it's hydrated enough.
It gets complicated when you apply a glaze on it as that then has to be broken off in other to shape the clay..
@Crux_Invictus @numberonedonaldtrumpfan @borzoi @cosmo @Elfman @JSDorn @TinyFern
it's not forcibly remaking it.. the wet clay binds to each other so it's just utilizing the available resources and forming it to do the desired workload.
@Crux_Invictus @numberonedonaldtrumpfan @borzoi @cosmo @Elfman @JSDorn @TinyFern
If it's just clay without additives that is not glazed then yes without major problems as long as it's allowed to hydrate in a water for few hours.. The clay then turns into a play-doh like consistency and can be shaped again.
@Tripp @numberonedonaldtrumpfan @borzoi @cosmo @Crux_Invictus @Elfman @JSDorn @TinyFern
Clay by itself doesn't turn into a solid when you put it into a kilm.. they have to add additives for it to have glass translation temperature instead of turning into a crumbly dirt.
@Tripp @numberonedonaldtrumpfan @borzoi @cosmo @Crux_Invictus @Elfman @JSDorn @TinyFern
lol did you even tried that?
I utilize this with making CAD designs by using clay and then constraining the shape using a hot air station to design ergonomic designs.
I agree that this is not possible with clay that has additives.
So you ignore the suicidal and anorexic examples because they're too hard
And you're happy for people with Munchausen syndrome to spend their whole lives pretending to be sick instead of ever getting therapy to treat their mental illness.
And you think it's better to permanently mutilate trans people because then they don't have to live in a mental hospital - because that way, they can live in the 'real world' which you yourself describe as a bubble of distorted reality. Why is that better than temporary accommodation in a padded room and an actual attempt to cure the mental illness?
