As a consequence, have a person’s kids taken away? Or should there be any consequences?
****PLEASE READ
I’m straightforward and don’t want to give any ‘fluff’ So I don’t know how else to ask this question without it sounding rage baity.
This isn’t a gotcha or trap to argue with anyone I feel and believe I can learn something of value from people I disagree with. It is interesting to know why you disagree and what reasons make you feel x y and z about things.
I’m here to listen, not judge or throw around name calling or fight with you. You feel the way you do for whatever reason, and I want to know a little more about why you do and that is it.
I would like for everyone to feel confident voicing how they feel about this question. I don’t care if I disagree with you. Fighting with you is not how I’d like to spend my evening. I’m sure you don’t either.
I might ask follow ups like, “Why is it that you feel that way?” Or “can you tell me a little bit more” so I can understand your point of view better. And that’s it.
If that feels too much or you don’t want to. Totally fine. Just ignore my comment to you.
Thanks for your time.
Social detransition can be done by anyone at any time they like.
Medical transition though has one of the lowest regret rates of any medical procedure people go through. More people regret life saving cancer treatments than regret transition surgeries for example. More people regret plastic surgery than regret transition surgeries. Fill in the blank. More people regret surgery than transiton surgery will be true for pretty much any surgery, that is how low regret rates are.
“The right” hammers home outright lies and misrepresentation, because their goal isn’t to get facts out there or to encourage valuable discussion, their goal is to make it harder for trans folk to access medical care, and muddying the waters is part of that.
So far in this thread I’ve seen you claim there’s less regret for transition surgery than for:
Where do you get these numbers from?
