I don’t know what you’re talking about, I’m obviously not gonna steal anything. Sure, accidents happen from time to time. The supermarket decided to replace their cashiers with self checkout operated by random non-employees, after all. If I happen to ring up filet mignon as a Roma tomato, I think that’s just the inevitable result of outsourcing your labor to untrained civilians with no incentive to accurately do the job .

That’s a completely separate discussion. We’re talking about gender dysphoria, not schizophrenia. I hope you understand why people assume you’re a troll, because what is even the point of bringing that up in this context?

Somewhere around the majority of people employed in academia are absolutely useless.

It’s just that the pressure to make the “correct” choice is fucking crazy.

I feel pressured to only ever present as a cisgendered heterosexual person regardless of whether that’s correct or not. The pressure is for LGBTQ+ people to simply disappear from public society. Correct has nothing to do with it.

“Wrong” is probably not the best term for it. People’s understanding of their own identity can evolve over time, but their own assessment of their sense of self will always be the most accurate barometer to go by. Yes, some people detransition, but as others have stated they’re a small minority and ultimately that’s their decision to make whether it’s due to a change in how they identify or pressure from external forces.

But to the original commenter’s point, we should just allow people to be the masters of their own identity and meet them where they are at any given point. If that were the case, the idea of getting it “wrong” wouldn’t be a big deal at all, they could simply give us an update and the world keeps turning.

I think the point they were making is that a decent support system is not the sole determining factor as your post suggests.

Even your counterarguments rest on the assumption that this is true. You suggest that if it’s not a support system they must be “inherently” good or evil, completely ignoring the more likely possibility that there are countless other variables that could factor into what kind of person someone becomes.

Gender dysphoria

“Hey, buddy. Just so you know, you’re autistic.”

“What? Hey, fuck you. That was uncalled for.”

Opening a completely fresh session on a VPN, trying to look up info on gender transition, you have to dig through results that are littered with detransition scare videos, TERF propaganda, and other right wing bullshit to find a handful of results that are even remotely relevant to what I searched.

The first screenshot is of the very first results, literally 2/3 of what you’re initially shown are detransition videos. For context, only about 1% of trans people end up detransitioning and many of them so so to avoid further persecution.

The only thing YouTube is useful for is home repair videos.

Was it an actual doctor at the blood donation place? Usually it’s just a phlebotomist or nurse. They typically don’t need a doctor just to draw blood.

But yeah, if you’re taking way more than needed it can be damaging but at or below the normal dosage should be fine.

Were you thinking of Sync maybe? That hasn’t been updated for almost 2 years.
