That's incorrect. There is no reliable evidence that many more have greatly enhanced lives by transgendering.You state that many people are still unhappy after a sex change; I am sure you are right. I believe that there are many more whose lives are greatly enhanced by inhabiting a body more in line with their inner selves. That aspect of the discussion is rarely mentioned
There is no evidence that medicalization on kids helps them. There us no evidence that medicalization of adults helps either. The therapy should be psychological not medical. Your UK has been instrumental in stopping this in regards to children.That is close to what I have said; it is a complex issue requiring professional judgments.
Many people have benefited from therapies. That is why I deprecate those here and elsewhere who oppose therapies on principle. The argument based on biological sex being fixed and immutable is irrelevant to the real issue - the successful treatment of individual suffering.
I know.There is no fixing involved.
No. It doesn’t fix anything. Just harms a healthy body.They’re “fixing them wrong”?
Okay.
Exactly!There is no fixing involved.
How do know we can't fix their heads? We are discovering kids "head problems" certainly can be worked through with therapy. There is no way to determine if a kid is really trans. That applies to adults as well. The clinician relies on the person telling them. It's taken on faith and in Anerica in far too many places it's affirmed without any therapy whatsoever. Autistic kids and kids with other mental health issues have been medicalized only to discover later they aren't really trans. That's what Europe has discovered as well as determining the medicalization of kids is actually harmful not helpful. But you wantcto keep doing it to them anyway. Why is that? Why are you so hell bent on harming kids like that?I know.
“It’s all in their heads.”
I agree.
But (at present) we cannot “fix” their heads.
Maybe after a few decades of doing what we can do, they’ll be able to cajigger the brain?
Who’s to say?
You are jus spouting bog-standard anti-woke rhetoric there. The wicked woke terrifying the virtuous reactionaries.For those of you who are interested this is the kind of garbage that is happening to therapists who are questioning what is going on in the US and the rest if the world. Therapists are concerned about kids and the transitioning of children, but when they speak out about it they are punished for it which creates fear in other therapists who don't want to speak out because they are afraid to.
Meanwhile other countries have stopped doing what the US is doing.
I alter the course of nature pretty frequently myself as I suffer from headaches of unknown etiology. I take tylenol, advil or excedrin semi-frequently.It's common sense, when you try to change the course of nature you'll have side effects.
The WPATH files have proven that these kid's DON'T understand the long term consequences of these treatments. And neither do the parents. Anymore than kids at 16 really understand what it means to be married. Just cause the law exists doesn't mean it's correct. You know this. The laws used to allow slavery, so the existence of a law doesn't provide that the law is correct.They are not being offered to children who are too young to understand. Here at least they are only offered to those young people whom the law accepts as responsible - over sixteens. In the UK a person can marry at sixteen, the age of consent.
Consent to sexual activity is not the same as consent to puberty blockers.They are not being offered to children who are too young to understand.

You didn't watch the video did you. These are actual therapists not a bunch of conservative pundits. In fact the two women hosting the show are not conservative in the least. They just treat children who are struggling with the gender issues.You are jus spouting bog-standard anti-woke rhetoric there. The wicked woke terrifying the virtuous reactionaries.
Boring.
My ideology? What's that?Unfortunately for you the boring part is your ideology that doesn't allow for any dissent. An ideology that refuses to be challenged.
That is meaningless. There is an age of consent which assumes that people can take responsibility for themselves at that age.Consent to sexual activity is not the same as consent to puberty blockers.
Wrong. The drinking age is different than the sex age, and for good reason. The puberty blockers age should also be higher.That is meaningless. There is an age of consent which assumes that people can take responsibility for themselves at that age.
You should. They are therapists who work with youth and gender. If you don't watch things like this you are not bring provided with good information and will form opinions based on improper and faulty I formation.My ideology? What's that?
I have only suggested that therapy should be aimed at the reduction of suffering. It is the ideologues who are opposed in principle to these therapies.
(You can post anything on YouTube. I never watch these things.)
Puberty blockers should be reserved for the issues they were created for. Not for sending kids down the path of full medicalization.Wrong. The drinking age is different than the sex age, and for good reason. The puberty blockers age should also be higher.
No one without a valid medical reason (precocious puberty) should take hormone blockers because they should only be able to “decide” until they’re older “enough” (which for most human adults) is well after their period of puberty.Wrong. The drinking age is different than the sex age, and for good reason. The puberty blockers age should also be higher.
Why are we suddenly afraid of “making mistakes” in the medical field?Puberty blockers should be reserved for the issues they were created for. Not for sending kids down the path of full medicalization.
