“The God/Goddess/They-ness of Gender is something that, if you ask ten different gender ideologues what it is, you will get ten different answers, none of them making any sense.”
MAYBE ask a sexologist? A therapist? And pull your head out of your ass? Might maybe get some consistent responses.
"What difference is there between some child bravely declaring their willingness to have their heart cut out or their throat slit to appease Huitzilopochtli and some teen “bravely” going under the knife to appease some ill-defined, ineffable Gender God and then dancing around in a Tic-Tok video showing off their mastectomy scars?”
I imagine the regret rate for volunteering as a human sacrifice is WAY higher than that of requesting transgendered therapy.
And a much better screening process. “You willing to die?”
“Yes, sir!”
“Get on the altar, then, you’re suitable.”
"I don't see much of a difference at all.”
Because you’re a bigoted dillhole who’s ignoring about 6000 years of history and the last 100 years of science on the subject so you can pretend it’s all a fad and a smokescreen.
" that they are sacrificing the child's body to save their soul.”
Uh, no. No, you won’t find ‘soul’ in any of the scientific literature on the subject.
“Haven't they entered a kind of living-death netherworld?”
THe regret rate is less than 1%. If their new life is as bad as you paint it, IMAGINE how horrible life must have been before transition!?!?!
Society is slowly waking up to this reality, but very slowly in the U.S., and I worry that the recent gains in "it's like they just can't help it.”
It’s a proven therapy wiht a good track record, so if people who understand it ’can’t help’ themselves from helping people who are suffering, imagine that.
"Some people just feel the urge to kill some other people for nebulous reasons.”
Watch the suicide rates in the states that are banning the treatment, and reread this sentence. Slowly.
