So I posted the yt about child transing in the political annex board where we discuss these things (I am the only woman there on the regular) and this happened

Tim:

I'm only going to say this once, after which I will no longer dignify the nonsense with a response.

Puberty blockers would have given me a life.. I didn't have that option available to me, but I would give anything to have had it.

Puberty blockers prevent the start of puberty, which is NOT permanent. It does give younger trans people the chance to figure themselves out. Depriving young transitioners of blockers IS abuse. Forcing irreversible body changes in the form of an incongruent puberty is not only abuse, but leads to life long self esteem issues, public humiliation, a very real lack of romantic opportunities, job, housing, and other forms of discrimination and abuse.

LIFE LONG.

You, to be perfectly honest, are the reason 41% is a well known statistic. You pump out these fake anecdotes and fake studies to push a violent agenda against the most marginalized people in society. Your rhetoric is both ignorant and dangerous and if I wasn't fortunate to have a very loving and supportive family, I wouldn't be here because of the type of $h!t you keep pumping out.

And then this happened from another poster:

Wow, you're just winning people over right and left here. Attack and name-call and claim uber-victimhood privilege. In your case, maybe more justified than many others, maybe not. Label everything YOU don't agree with, or that doesn't match your personal experience as FAKE.

Then you try to guilt others with the 41% number, as if THEY are somehow personally responsible. So, it's all <wrongtoy's> fault? Nasty tactic to shut down dialogue. But then, it's becoming clear you don't want dialogue, you want trans dogma. For those who don't know, 41% represents the percent of respondents to a National trans Discrimination Survey who said they had attempted suicide at some point in their lives. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27380151/

OK, so you're not able to sustain any sort of civil conversation other than give trans advocates a blank check on anything and everything they ever say. You yourself seem to be guilty of the extremely narrow minded rhetoric you presume to accuse others of. My concern is that it seems there is an "industry" developing around "transitioning", in particular targeting socially vulnerable teen girls, and in particular, targeting autistic teen girls. Problem being that a self-interested capitalistic industry is more concerned with its own near-term prosperity than the long-term well-being of any particular human it purports to serve. This article is one discussion of the issue. https://nypost.com/2020/06/27/how-peer- ... sitioning/ and is written by the author of this book: https://www.amazon.com/Irreversible-Dam ... B07YL6XK55

The TIM has already called me a TERF but that poster above is just a white guy and he hasn't said anything.

SMH but maybe the message is getting out. Or maybe it isn't. This person like most providing gc thoughts is a conservative.
