Are you choosing to ignore the rest of my response to you?

Nope. You chose a source that confirmed your priors… and in doing so, overlooked their errors.

It is not incorrect to say that many who transitioned when they were still kids are now sincerely regretting the surgery and treatments done to them.

It is not incorrect to say that transgender ideology and transgenderism is mutilating children.

I supposed that depends on how you define "many." Is that number above zero? Sure. Is the percentage of people who regret transitioning surgery abnormally high relative to other surgeries? Not that I'm aware of. For example, I recall seeing stats (though I don't have them on hand at the moment) that regret rates for transition surgery were well within the bounds of normal, if not lower than normal, and far below the rates for some such as back surgery.

Now, I can appreciate that the nature of gender transition surgery is such that one would want to be really sure about it before committing. But if we're going to wring our hands over people regretting this decision, we ought to maintain some perspective. Some amount of people are going to regret virtually any decision.

Fact Check: 216 Instances Of Factual Errors Found In Right-Wing "WPATH Files" Document

On Monday, anti-trans groups released a set of highly editorialized and decontextualized leaks dubbed the "WPATH Files." A fact check reveals 216 errors, misrepresentations, and faulty citations.

Having read through this and other fact checks in recent days, I feel like I was rather understated in my estimations of how misleading the 'WPATH Files' are.

We are going to see more and more de-transitioners as time goes by.

 

[Belk]

My beliefs against transgenderism are based upon the Scriptures as well as the facts of biology.
Biological Males are males and Biological females are females.
Period.

Just to be clear, this is the same biology that you think is completely and utterly incorrect about its underpinnings, evolution?

 

[iluvatar5150]

Well, yeah. If more people transition, more are likely to detransition.

Just to be clear, I completely reject the false belief that evolution is the underpinning of biology. I am a creationist.

Absolutely! It’s going to be a mess

I think they mean the “science of biology”, not “biology as I understand it to be”.

What is the religion of atheists?

The religion of equality.

You can't have equality if there are two different sexes. There needs to be a queering of everybody. Welcome to the trans movement. Sitting in the background, and very happy to help, is China.

All part of a bigger movement. In the video below, James Lindsey gives an almost 2 hour talk on the Woke movement. It was so interesting that I watched the whole thing over a few days.

Uuh, the reckoning, this is sure to be an interesting... aaand it's another thread about other people's genitals. *Sigh*

Eventually in retrospect this is going to looked upon the same as lobotomies and other medical/surgical monstrosities.

With enough time and medical advancements, most medical practices of today will look bad in retrospect. There's a chance that one day, we can find the root cause behind gender disphoria and can help people suffering from it to feel at home in the bodies they were born with, if they want to. But at the moment, gender reassignment surgery is for many patients the best treatment on offer, with a "regret" rate that is far below what some people want to make you believe and a marked decrease in self-harm and suicide incidents.

I can see that there is an argument to be had regarding the treatment of children, but for adults, the outcome is generally positive. And in the end, it's their body to do with as they want to.

This being done to children is the issue.

Nothing much that I know of has ever been done to try stopping adults from getting extreme body alterations that go as far as choosing to have limbs amputated.

Yes and because of that many come here to bash us.

No, we just come here to marvel at the rich and various sexual imaginings.

The self-called progressives of this world want us to keep quiet about the sexualization of children.'Shhh just let it happen'.

I imagine we're subjected to posts like this telling us what these scary "progressives" are saying because there's no actual people saying anything of the sort to quote.
