toads_tfit's gonna be dismissed because it's misleading garbage just like any other argument for pretending to be something youre not
how is it misleading
are you gonna elaborate
seems like it provides, at least, 1, published, paper that explains "pretending to be something you're not" (gender affirmation) has shown to be the most effective way of dealing with gender dysphoria

Lyreixalso whoever said that transgenderism is a mental illness due to suicide rates needs to snap back from the 19th century
the reason why you would perceive that transgender folk have a very high suicidal rate is because trans folk are constantly facing an extreme amount of discrimination, be it before transitioning or not, regardless if they come out as trans or keep it to themselves
**********
Just dropping this by while this thread is still unlocked. Just don't go around spouting transphobic shit because of your previous assumptions or biases
This is utter nonsense and you know it, the whole trans issue is about as uncontroversial as it gets these days, nearly nobody has anything to say against it (usually out of fear of the consequences just for speaking their fucking opinion) and it doesn't make me "transphobic" to disagree with dangerous practices regarding a serious mental health issue, fuck you and the horse you rode in on.

nice job deflecting the sources that everyone in this thread were actively asking for and going for personal attacks instead of providing counterpoints to the studies I posted

You don't think "transphobic" is a personal attack? I don't particularly appreciate having my motives assumed by internet psychics, so yes, fuck you.

holy shit why is this a discussion
having gender dysphoria sucks
taking pills is relatively cheap compared to spending tons of money on frequently unhelpful conversion therapy that many can't afford
people who shove their trans-ness down people's throats are really fucking aids, like if you don't wanna call someone by their pronouns or whatever its totally in your right not to, much as it is their right to take that as disrespect
i don't see why people who dislike it feel the need to be assholes about it, like just call me he or whatever im not gonna get buttblasted instead of doing the whole round of "Hilarious Jokes" (it, attack helicopter, etc.) like at least treat me like a human being, don't make my gender part of the discussion if it bothers you so much, it's not like i'm gonna stop talking to you because you call me a boy.
people need to stop taking themselves so seriously to the point where they crumble when someone with different opinions is around them, just be a fucking adult about it
i wish i could get a do-over and not have this shit in my brain and be a functioning human, but at least i live in america where i wont get thrown off a roof for being a fag

how is it misleading
are you gonna elaborate
seems like it provides, at least, 1, published, paper that explains "pretending to be something you're not" (gender affirmation) has shown to be the most effective way of dealing with gender dysphoria
sources in 6:
1. 404, meaniningless unless evidence is presented anyways.
2. 404 again. doesnt explain WHY trying to fix someone's mental state to fit reality is less ethical than affirming their false belief. (in fact, feeding delusion seems like it would only create more harm than good when patients are confronted with the fact that they are not indeed what they thought they were) the studies given are all very old studies from a time period where it was believed that faux sex reassignment was the only solution and were essentially the first studies done on the subject of behavioral reassignment. since then, studies (works of barlow, rekers, etc in the 70s) have provided successful cases of behavioral or similar non-operation solutions. though i cant tell because of the 404, either way what WPATH says seems to be grounded only in preliminary studies and is therefore being used misleadingly
3. bases its claim off of information it makes up. it says therapy like this is wrong because we believe that it's the patient's right to keep their identity. it also lumps two unlike things together as well, that being sexual orientation and what gender someone thinks they are. again, misleading.
4. has nothing to do with "gender identity," yet is used to discuss it. it has to do with sexuality conversion therapy, which is completely different as it's not dealing with a delusional disorder, or probably even a disorder at all. VERY misleading
5. same as 4
6. incredible grasping at straws, doesn't mention transgenders at all and is therefore completely different and mostly irrelevant. regardless, a religious approach to conversion is unlikely to have any impact if some kind of conversion therapy is the best case anyways.
e: i dont think i should have to say this but anyways ill throw in that i bear no ill will towards trans people or people suffering gender dysphoria or whatever it may be. i believe that certain treatments for the problem are not the best course of action

Discussions on transgenderism are always fucking aids because everyone is talking about different shit and has different definitions for words which lead to arguments even when people agree

this is what got Jordan Peterson into the spotlight for making a video talking about how these laws are badly written:
