RIP the very few people with legit gender dysphoria. If the troons didn't try to force this shit on people and kids, I guarantee Russia wouldn't have done this.
Is "gender change" even the best option for that very small minority of people? Admittedly I'm not well read on it, but I would wager therapy aimed at making them accept what they were born as would be much more effective than chopping off their dick and calling them a woman.
We don't chop off people's limbs if they have limb dysphoria. to me even gender dysphoria seems like a made up first world problem for people who have too much time on their hands, you don't see trash pickers in slums in India talking about feeling not matching their body genders
If someone has pika, you don't treat it by handing them a bowl of coins.
Delusions are treated with denial.
indeed, therapy should always be the first resort. most people who claim to have gender dysphoria can be talked down and come to accept themselves if they were just given the opportunity to talk to the right people. there are still those where this wouldn't work. after extensive therapy if they cannot come to accept themselves, then hormone therapy would be the next step. sex change surgery should always be a last resort with a very high bar for approval, but I still maintain it should not be banned.
Agreed. They should try the correct hormones though. Maybe try suppressing estrogen in men / testosterone in women for a while, see if that helps.
There's no such thing as "sex change surgery". Any doctor cutting off a patient's non-cancerous functional sex organs is breaking his oath to Do No Harm and must be punished.
What the fuck? Just give people hormones? That's not without consequences.
That is absurd reasoning. Utter non sequitur.
Therapy is why they get to the point of wanting to cut their balls off. It's the first step into the medical establishments plan to get these people to throw their lives away. Who do you think is pushing all this made up diagnoses?
