“My child IS an adult, has been lost to us for five years,”
I have yet to see anyone on PITT who isn’t the cause of the alienation.
“It is like a death to us, his family, who are cut off from him for believing he is actually a man.”
I wonder if that’s the problem?
YOU can chose to believe it’s possible to be in the wrong body or insist on PENIS UBER ALLES, therefore you see it as a choice for everyone.
“This is a tremendous harm to himself, his family, and to our society.”
As if your choice to reject everything she knows to be true isn’t also harming her.
"He is among those in women’s only spaces, for example.”
So is Ghislaine Maxwell, and SHE’S Het.
"No doctor should be altering a body through meds or surgeries because of a dysfunction in the mind. Period.”
You know, if you’re a doctor of sexual medicine and you disagree with her treatment, it’s a disagreement. If you’re boneheaded and ignorant, it’s just you flapping your jaw. Like a short-ordered cook who doesn’t wipe his ass because germs don’t exist, or the prostitute who doesn’t agree with the infectious disease experts who encourage condoms.
Up until 1940 or so, the only treatment was to brainwash the brain into accepting the body. From there, it’s been more effective to alter the body to match the brain. The regret rate of transition is less than 1%. Knee sugery has a regret rate of 30%. And no one cautions the pre-surgery patient with ’Aren’t you afraid the changes will be permanent?’
"We parents of adult trans children want our nightmare to end and it only ends when society stops being “respectful” of adults choosing this, and calling it what it is: mental illness, among many other things.”
Don’t lay YOUR nightmare on OUR shoulders, bitch.
It’s only a nightmare because of where you’re standing and that’s entirely your choice. You choose to remain ignorant of the actual condition and its treatments.
