Well, at least you used your period of soul-searching to write a holier-than-thou manifesto for a shithole.

How much are we betting he has an alt and is following this topic lol

"sorry if this sounds transphobic, but I can't be arsed to do a few seconds of googling to avoid misgendering trans people and using highly offensive and bigoted language to refer to people."

Speaking of which: it would have been nice if they didn't burn the medical knowledge that existed on this topic.

We'd all be a lot better off.

This report takes much of the research we have to support gender affirming care now and explicitly disregards it

The report where the overwhelming high level recommendations are to provide more support for trans people? The report that says we need more conversations that arent toxic? The report that states there should be continuous research to make sure patient outcomes are as best as possible? The report that accepts trans people dont get the same level of care as other patients and recommends that the care should increase before, during and after transitioning? You want people to ignore that?

Im sure the nazis thought they were helping the world too in some twisted way, doesnt mean thats what they were actually doing back then

here is where sex =/= gender is relevant.

single sex is single sex. gender is irrelevant

I didnt get around to this yet but you are wrong and this is harmful to promote, particularly in a medical context or setting where you are dealing with the health of patients.

Thats an awful lot of shade to throw my way when I essentially said read the report and I agree more support should be given to trans people. But sure continue mischaracterising my post. .

The first thing that can be done to help trans people or detransitioners for that matter is throw that report in the garbage where it belongs, instead of promoting it and telling people they need to read it.

If they want comprehensive professional guidelines for providing an appropriate standard of care that relies on an evidence based approach, that literally already exists for many decades and also receives updates.

Thats a lot of words to show you are out of your element and dont have the faintest idea of what constitutes an appropriate approach to healthcare for trans people.

What you have demonstrated is that you are capable of using the copy/paste function, though, and are a biased and untrustworthy source for any kind of informed opinion in this area.

Since you want to bring up detransition while youre here, however, the overwhelming vast majority of people who detransition are actually trans people, not cisgender people who discovered they werent trans or unsure of their gender identity (which is less than 3%, from a group that is only about one percent, whom are only a few percent of the entire population.) This can be due to lack of support, changing laws, loss of access to healthcare, medical, financial, job/education related, and/or other personal family issues.

Tattoos, elective cosmetic surgical procedures, and child birth have higher rates of regret reported than gender affirming surgery.

Batman would not be happy you abandoned your own topic!

Yeah, no. If you believe this, then you are simply so far left that it has skewed your perspective.

People so far to the right that something like basic human rights seems like it can only be an extreme position of the left and not a position of someone who is "moderate" on the right wing or right leaning

No

Maybe Drake can ask Kendrick to help him write something as a response

yep

Ill take any new material from Kendrick Lamar

please dont stop

How much is my per diem

dislike the report all you want

It's not a legitimate piece of work. Doesn't matter if you like or dislike it, that's not how science works. It's already been deconstructed as it's numerous flaws and transphobic bias, and the author has even had to walk parts of it back.

I assumed it was left to illustrate current UK attitudes towards trans issues.

I did not detect any implied comment on it.

More than a few people seem to think it's legitimate or want to treat it as something worth consideration. This is why they dress up their transphobia as some kind of report in the first place.

Transphobic bigots continue to be worthless and ridiculously absurd.

I dont find it particularly thrilling or empowering from such offers when men want me to do stuff for large amounts of money like that because Im hot

Attention from creeps and men who give off major red flag vibes is not a plus in my book.

Fenriswolf posted...

Then again lots of people think Kendrick was being homophobic and transphobic in the song "Auntie Diaries", when he clear meant the opposite.

Its rough around the edges but the trans community (and broader lgbt+ discussion) had good things to say overall when that dropped. Not sure what you are referring to by lots of people?

I think it should be outlawed.

There it will be relegated to the black market, underground back alley tea shops and home garages

I wish I could sue the store that sold me bubba tea for some kind of assault. Take them to court for damages or something.

Once youve drank a bubble tea, the experience will be seared into your memory. Maybe in the cyberpunk future I can have those memories replaced.

Wait a minute, that's not actually him, is it?

It seems like it really is him. Gary Peterson is the origin of the photo and he does a parody Twitter account where he pretends to be a Trump supporter and goes to rallies and stuff

He also photo shops some of his pics in tweets but those are usually super obvious

There is no context where using the t-slur is like being ignorant of usage surrounding the word midget as outdated and problematic

Nothing is exactly like using the N-word just like nothing is like the t-slur, but they are more comparable as slurs unlike using outdated language. The t-slur has never been acceptable language for trans people and is used to dehumanize and attack trans people. A close comparison is like the n-word with slurs.

Trying to compare the t-slur to people using something outdated is disingenuous or willful ignorance

A more apt comparison for midget would be transsexual

Misgendering is really low hanging fruit

What are you raging on about dude?

Im not a dude but go ahead with the pot shots, you arent the first and I doubt you will be the last considering some of the ppl around here

Fandom: Were going to take transphobia more seriously

ClayGuida: The t-slur isnt THAT bad, you can still say it after all

ClayGuida posted...

wtf are you talking about? No I didn't, and it doesn't have anything to do with using the t-slur or how it's comparable to calling someone the n-word

Shameful, says the guy who literally just defended and downplayed using the t-slur as not that bad. Again maybe in your circles you refer to trans people like that, it's not unheard of after all

ClayGuida posted...

jfc this is cringe, that mulaney skit has nothing to do with the t-slur being comparable to the n-word

maybe it's more acceptable in your circles to call people that, idk, the n-word used to be more socially acceptable as well

Yes, love Anthony Jeselnik's work. I almost brought him up earlier because he is another great example

Ah, fair. I think people are just protective of TV like this, because its amazing.

some people are also openly bigoted and transphobic though tbf

This is like complaining about how the Always Sunny folks treat Cricket. They're all terrible, terrible people and that's the point.

No, because that isnt always a given, or even the angle taken or impression made necessarily.

GTA had problems with this which they addressed so that trans people are not made to be the butt of the joke so much, with the predictable crowd crying woke for another example.
