    I’m all for people making their own choices. But teaching children about sexuality is wrong, let alone assuming a child has the mind to transition their gender. This is sick in the head.

      Sexuality and gender expression are unrelated.

      You have fundamental misunderstandings that you should educate yourself about before commenting again.

      I won’t reply further to you, so please dont bother.

      I agree. Children are very impressionable and there are bad actors who will try to convince them that it’s better to be trans.

        If you can accept the reality of gender dysphoria, then it is reasonable to address how that condition is best treated. The consequences of not treating can be lethal via suicide so this is not an idle question. If transitioning makes the difference between life or death (or chronic substantial depression) then arguably encouraging this affected people to “be trans” is the right thing to do. Sorry if it hurts your feeling but that’s the reality of it.

          What about those that kill themselves after transitioning because they regret it?

          Sorry if it hurts your feeling but that’s the reality of it.

          My feelings are fine, but I think you’re ignoring the part of reality that goes against your agenda.

            While, since you looooove semantics so much, I’m sure it happens that some people coming suicide after transitioning it is, to my understanding FAR less than the baseline, also you need to show that suicide is the result of transitioning, and not anti trans people bullying and harassing them, for the crime of being who they are.

              So… what about those that kill themselves after transitioning because they regret it?

              Are you trying to argue they don’t matter because they’re a minority?

                  You’re never going to answer this because you know it defeats your argument.

                  I’ll just take this as your surrender and we can move on with our lives.

                  You may have the last word, I can tell you’re desperate for it.

                    They (probably) exist but are fewer than those that that kill themselves because they can’t transition. Also the regret rates at least for gender affirming surgeries (I don’t think I can generalize any further without weird exceptions and further research) are significantly lower than all other surgeries.
