Something rotten at the heart of Reddit. Reddit hired an admin who is trans, and zir husband has posted some wild pedo stuff. That admin apparently is deleting articles that even vaguely mention zir, which has caused a Streisand Effect. The best explanation I’ve found so far is by Graham Linehan.

Nope, the only sick one is you with your unnatural hatred for a young girl you don't even know.

But have fun pretending you aren't a brainwashed moron. All you extremists are retarded no matter which side you're from.

Without knowing him, I can't say I "hate" him. I represented that he's sick. As one ought to, I hate people who spread that sickness. I also noted that you're his enabler. You have a choice not to be this kind of person.

You disrespect her by misgendering her and claiming things about her when you don't even fucking know her. You insult her identity and claim she's diseased. You can try to tiptoe around it, but it's clear that you have an unnatural hatred for her and other trans people.

You are a disgusting individual and one deserving of hate, unlike me or her.

When you suggest that I can't know about your friend's problem without knowing him personally, you admit by implication that his transgenderism is a subjective thing. My perspective on this is a bit more grounded. I only claim to know that he's not a woman.

I also know that he is not a woman "on the inside", as it were, because no one but himself is privy to his internal experience. So it is with all of us, male and female alike; we are each the sole experiencers of each our physical beings, mind included. We are unable to leave our bodies and go experience the internalities of others' bodied experiences. Therefor it is impossible to "know" any such thing as that one inhabits the "wrong" body. It's yet more absurd to claim to know that a particular other kind of body is the "correct" body.

Really, all I know is what you represented to me. You've represented to me that your 18 year-old friend was able to get bottom surgery.

She is a girl.

My best friend is 19. She knew she was a girl her whole life. Her parents were supportive of her and she lived as a girl without any medical interventions until she hit her early teens and got a puberty blocker. She later had that taken out, went on estrogen, and got surgery.

She is happy now. She never would've been happy if she were forced to live as a boy. In fact, she probably would've ended up committing suicide like so many other trans people who don't get the support they need and aren't allowed to transition.

She's not hurting anyone and just wants to live her best life and be happy. Why would you want to prevent someone's happiness?

You are against life if you want to prevent someone's happiness and bring about more suicides.
