Honestly, I agree. But I don’t think Python is anywhere near that bad.

ITT: Developers who think their code is readable complaining about Python and YAML.

This warning is for LGBTQIA+ though. No way in fuck is it less safe in the US overall compared to a huge number of countries with that context.

Like I said, I can read. Gaslighting doesn’t work when there’s receipts. Fuck yourself.

I had typed out a long response detailing what transgender care is, why it’s different from “old care” that “everyone” gets, and why you’re uninformed. I even had https://genderdysphoria.fyi/ lined up as a website to help you learn more.

But I have eyes and I am literate. I am able to read how you respond to others.

You’re a cunt and you don’t deserve the basic respect you deny others constantly. I will not sit here and debate my existence with you and I don’t think anyone should take you seriously in any way. If you have such a problem with trans people, consider gouging your eyes out and piercing your eardrums with a pencil yourself so you no longer need to perceive us.

Wow, is this actually their argument? Wild.

“You weren’t actively having your blood and organs harvested, so saying no to that is okay. But that fertilized egg you are carrying against your will? Well…”

You could have all of the evidence in the world show you the contrary, but you’ll bend over backwards to assert that the earth is flat jews run the government sperm are fully qualified children gender affirming care is wrong or harmful. You’ll use children to do this, even though the care given to trans youth is overwhelmingly social and reversible puberty blockers. People like you want to shove kids back in the closet. I’m so, so sorry that kids are more mature than you were growing up. I have to wonder who hurt you.

1. Sure! Great point! That’s why:

   a. Minors very rarely get surgery or non-reversible care.

   b. If a minor has gender dysphoria, they can work with their doctor and parents to be put on puberty blockers so they can explore if/how they want to transition, instead of forcing them through a puberty that would be very expensive and traumatic to undo.

   Your point is only an issue for bigots who can’t respect someone else’s private medical decisions regarding their own body.

2. I had so much info and "are you sure?"s shoved down my throat when I finally came out. It would be impossible to not be sure if you actually talk to a therapist and your doctor. Both of which are necessary for a diagnosis of gender dysphoria, and is a precursor to getting access to care and doing things like changing one’s name (from experience!).

   Shall we regulate who can get tattoos or hair removal? Those seem pretty permanent and can have health implications as well.

   Your point is only an issue for bigots who can’t respect someone else’s private medical decisions regarding their own body.

3. I don’t give much of a fuck about what you personally find to be important when my rights are on the line. Be as pissy as you want about this, but the only reason trans people are in the news or in politics is because of conservatives trying to legislate them out of existence. If my existence bothers you so much, you’re welcome to gouge your own eyes out and no longer perceive me.

Unpopular opinions is about the only place this shit can be said with a smug, troll veneer about wanting discussion or civility. Meanwhile, said opinions are only held by some of the most vile people to exist. I’d caution you about the company you’ll keep with opinions like that, but you seem to be okay with it.

EDIT: Fixed formatting.

I agree the reply is informative, just that OP had asked to avoid other medications as a suggestion.

Op mentioned they do not want different medication for the trip though.

And, no, I don’t really want to upend my regimen of 8 years and risk going on a new medication for the trip.

Hey! I appreciate your support, trans rights are human rights!

In the future, could you please use transgender instead of transexual? The latter is a really dated term and ties a gender and societal issue to sexuality. While they may be closely associated, they’re not the same thing and any little bit helps break that association.

It includes 13 year olds because puberty blockers are included. No one is giving estrogen to children. If a child experiences gender dysphoria, their parents can have them work with a psychiatrist and their doctor to make sure they delay puberty so the child can keep growing and decide if they want to transition when they approach adulthood.

Everything else you’ve said is bullshit. Your ignorance is not a free pass to make up facts and spread misinformation.

Research shows that a lot of gender dysphoria is the result of puberty and medicalizing treatment of it creates a pipeline to further transition including surgeries, while if not treated, the dysphoria often desists after puberty.

This right here, this is evil. If someone took you at your word here, they may choose to ignore or punish their child if they were experiencing gender dysphoria. I know you have no sources from any respected institution, and the medical community en masse rebuke this line of thinking.

Edit: Both of the books the original commenter added to try and support their claims are books that posit TERF views that sex is biological and gender either doesn’t exist or is equally biological and cannot change. They dehumanize trans folks and their struggles. They are not medical studies or journals supporting their claims.

You seem flexible and obviously have empathy for others. /s

Here’s a good resource: http://genderdysphoria.fyi/

You need to understand how often people ask questions that seem to come from a place of ignorance but genuine curiosity and then take that discussion to tell trans folks that they are wrong. It happens so much that it’s the main way that transphobes try to infiltrate spaces meant for trans folks.

My honest response is to check that website out. If you are asking about this in trans spaces, bring zero opinions to the table and accept what is said back to you without debate. Debating trans folks’ existence is something that is forced upon them in their own spaces by malicious people asking and framing questions just like you’ve described.

It’s hard to take the “enlightened centrism” stance seriously when I see it used as an excuse. So many centrists tell trans folks that their identity is wrong and that they are mentally ill or chose this “lifestyle”. As if they want to be trans. As if they like feeling scared and being told they’re wrong about something as fundamental as their identity.

Judging from your other thread, you know perfectly well most sane people’s take on that rapist. Take the hint and fuck off to 4chan or something.
