1 - Sure, probably.

2 - 99% of the time it's what they have in their pants.

3 - Because it works? Why are anti-depressants sometimes used to treat ANXIETY instead of DEPRESSION?

4 - And you can prove this with stats that don't come from that one single GC think tank, right?

5 - Sucks to be them I guess, if you don't pass, you're living as whatever people see you as. If you're in a super liberal place maybe that's just a TW, if you aren't then probably not.

6 - So does neuroplasticity only exist when you guys want it to exist?

7 - IDK. It's not my fault language is changing and leaving you behind. It's just as much not my job to coddle you as it is not your job to coddle me.

8 - Literally only you guys see it as erasure, so no.

9a - They don't. The only people 'studying' desistance are people looking for those statistics, and use scummy ways to pad them like counting people who 'leave their clinic' for any reason as desisters.

b - Your guess is as good as mine. I'd be more than all for putting money into better vetting out young trans people, because it's still nowhere near perfect, but that's not the way the world works.

10 - No.

If cross-sex hormones work, then do they have sex dysphoria and not gender dysphoria?

4 - And you can prove this with stats that don't come from that one single GC think tank, right?

Not only is this not an answer, but it's a question in response to a question. Can you see how that's evasive?

5 - Sucks to be them I guess, if you don't pass, you're living as whatever people see you as. If you're in a super liberal place maybe that's just a TW, if you aren't then probably not.

So, why are these poor souls not living as they are living but instead living as other's see them? Are you saying their identity is assigned to them, and their own sense of identity is not valid?

6 - So does neuroplasticity only exist when you guys want it to exist?

Another non-answer. If anything the concept of neuroplasticity would make the "lady brain" idea completely invalid in determining a person's gender, if gender were a real thing that is.

1 - ...because that's just what it got called? This is a weird fucking hill to die on.

2 - If I ask you why all GC are axe murderers and you say that's stupid what are you smoking, isn't that evasive? (hint, it isn't, because it's a stupid question)

3 - Their sense of identity is their own, I can't change how the world around them views them. It's just the reality of the situation.

If anything the concept of neuroplasticity would make the "lady brain" idea completely invalid in determining a person's gender,

Yes. That's why i posted a non-answer for a non-question.

2- I think OP meant all "transgender" sex offender are male, not all male "transgender" are sex offenders.

I mean, it's still a literally unprovable point, but that's a lot better than the alternative.

Side note, thanks for deleting Flippy's comment btw. It's not much but it does go a long way to show QT users you care a little bit about bad actors.

Taking it literally, the phrase all "transgeder" sex offenders are male is likely false. However, I don't think it's far from the truth. The vast majority of sex offenders are male and trans identified males retain male patterns of criminality.
