Gender is an entirely social construct. We’ve basically decided what is feminine and what is masculine, etc. as a society and are forcing people to conform to those standards to “fit in”. I think people who are born trans should be nurtured and supported, regardless of what they look like.
All that these medications and puberty blockers do is force someone to cosmetically change themselves to attempt to blend into expected societal phenotypes without real consideration for possible long term medical effects and complications (at least when it comes to children who are given these medications during a period of otherwise rapid brain and bone development).
Certainly adults can make their own decisions. But in my opinion, we shouldn’t be telling children that they have to look a certain way for their feelings to be validated. It just propagates an unnecessary cycle of superficiality into subsequent generations. We need to reach a point in society where trans people are and feel accepted without having to conform to a specific look or have/not have specific features. I don’t think medications and surgeries get us there.
There is some truth to what you said but unfortunately current representations of gender don't allow for this type of thinking on a large scale :/
I don't agree with your point about the medicine tho, that is still the best way to help trans people in the current state of things
i knew that this thread would devolve into a bunch of s*** slinging and toxicity, classic ktt
i expected s*** slinging but the blatant transphobia itt is actually making me sick to my stomach
you mfs should br ashamed of yourselves
Lmao u should be banned for this nonsense Jesus....
If a kid says he's a frog...we don't encourage him that's he's a frog...he's simply a child and has a wild imagination...doesn't mean he wants to be a frog as an adult...
Y'all wild
aint no way this guy aint 40 years old
It's the Hollywood bullshit. U can't turn one kids show on now without seeing it.
how much u wanna bet i can turn on spongebob and they wont be talking about trans people
Real talk, I wonder how many republicans ACTUALLY give a s*** about trans-people, as in, personally ambivalent, but play it up to stroke the culture wars.
they think Trump is gonna make their lives look like this so bad
Hope ur joking when u said “not many people are talking about this” @op its literally been discussed on every major platform
i never heard ab it till this post so f*** u
y'all have no idea how f***ing difficult getting access 2 HRT actually is bcuz y'all r in ur own f***ing bubble & literally make up s*** 2 be mad @
With the way some people talk about it you'd think theyre offering this s*** to kids like it's candy what the hell man
Here’s hoping that Trump ruins desantis run and they both don’t make it
this or smth i wanna say but won't 4 legal purposes
With the way some people talk about it you'd think theyre offering this s*** to kids like it's candy what the hell man
exactly & that could not be further from the truth it's hard just getting that s*** as an adult as a kid it's even more of a problem
no way trump wins
Kinda crazy how he’s even allowed to run again after the stunts he pulled
dude has almost got the US nuked on multiple occasions
Lmao
what's funny?
this is how every single genocide starts its not really an irrational fear
It's all about the kids for most. Whatever strange things you do behind closed doors is your business but the moment they start pushing this on to kids and give medications to kids to transition people are going to speak out.
If people stay silent and not fight imagine how much this would be in Hollywood. They're realizing putting this politics in every show only hurts them
Yeah, instead let’s make kids tell us their menstrual cycles.
And let’s support politicians accused of pedophilic activities.
Also, let’s attack children who paint murals celebrating diversity,
no way trump wins
he's gonna lose by a landslide dont only repub that really likes him in congress is DeSantis
they think Trump is gonna make their lives look like this so bad
Those days are long gone, if they ever even existed (even for white people).
How much of that was actually legit and how much of that is people watching classic Hollywood movies and believing what they’re seeing?
exactly & that could not be further from the truth it's hard just getting that s*** as an adult as a kid it's even more of a problem
That's not even taking into account how a lot of kids don't even know they can actually do something about it hell i didn't f***ing realize it until I was like 20 because nobody even told me anything about these things before that

I don’t disagree that it may be currently necessary for trans people to try and feel some kind of acceptance but our progressive focus as a society should be to make it unnecessary rather than to continue the cycle.

niggas act like mfs be slinging HRT to kids on some
s***
