@blackgaywarrior @EccentricGuru @LGBwiththeT Homophobes used to say the exact same thing about gay people, by bringing up people who stopped identifying as gay—usually because of conversion therapy—as proof that being gay was a choice. Yet you’re using the same arguments that were used on you.

@zachrobert15 @EccentricGuru @LGBwiththeT This isn’t true. If it was - people who had been trans would never detransition and we all know there are plenty of detransitioners of all demographics speaking out against this.

Conversion therapy and abusive parenting ruins lives. Pass it on.

@andysayshi1 @EdenstromPetra @EmzCollett @JohnImrie10 @Lexiosity @atalanta44 @ThomasWillett9 Seriously, there are medical tests that doctors use to diagnose and monitor GD. Just because something is psychological doesn’t make it unable to be tested or measured.

@andysayshi1 @EdenstromPetra @EmzCollett @JohnImrie10 @Lexiosity @atalanta44 @ThomasWillett9 Gender dysphoria is measurable and testable, much like any other psychological condition like depression. Attempting to change the brain the brain has been tried, and it doesn’t work. Gender affirming care is the only treatment shown to alleviate dysphoria.

The reason you can be openly attracted to men is because of LGBTQ+ people.

@blackgaywarrior @EccentricGuru @LGBwiththeT By that logic, every single medical procedure that has any amount of regret is proof that that procedure doesn’t work, otherwise no one would regret it. And by plenty, you mean less than five percent, which is astoundingly low.

@EccentricGuru @LGBwiththeT That article talks about how Ukraine’s laws are incredibly regressive and predicated on stigma, rather than actual medical science.

@EccentricGuru @LGBwiththeT It literally says that over eighty percent of them detransitioned because external factors forced them to, not because they regretted it or realized they aren’t actually trans. If you do the math, it’s much closer to three percent.

@BopBoopBeepBeep @GrannyCahill @jaxlivinbby But they start out with female genitals, and later develop male characteristics.

@zachrobert15 @GrannyCahill @jaxlivinbby These people don't change sex; they're just males with 5-alpha-reductase deficiency. This means their genitals fully masculinize at puberty, rather than in utero. This was explained in the article. They were never female. Gonochoric species, like humans, can't change sex.

this is what i looked like two hours after my sex change operation btw i feel so proud of my body and so hopeful for my future 🖤

@andysayshi1 @EdenstromPetra @EmzCollett @JohnImrie10 @Lexiosity @atalanta44 @ThomasWillett9 Because that’s what’s shown to improve health. Body parts that cause severe dysphoria aren’t healthy. Can you name another condition other than cancer that is best treated by blasting the person with radiation? Or do you accept that it works in this rare instance?

@zachrobert15 @EdenstromPetra @EmzCollett @JohnImrie10 @Lexiosity @atalanta44 @ThomasWillett9 Good lord. 😂 So you agree gender is psychological, that’s a start. Now explain why you treat a psychological condition by chopping off healthy body parts? Can you name another psychological condition that is best treated by amputation of healthy body parts?

@EccentricGuru @LGBwiththeT That study compares post-surgery—which the study acknowledges as having a worse health baseline—with those who never got the surgery. Rather than monitoring the same people before and after, like how all other surgery effectiveness is determined.

@EccentricGuru @LGBwiththeT The second study asks adults who went through conversion therapy at some point in their lives. The first study I linked talks about youth.

@EccentricGuru @LGBwiththeT Where are you getting those stats? The true detransition rate is less than five percent. And which medical associations label being trans as a mental illness? ustranssurvey.org/report/health/

@DeminFl @PushDemsLeft Democrats had power last year, but they chose to not use it.

@PushDemsLeft Stupid comparison. Does the president of Mexico have any power? Obviously yes. Do the Democrats? Very, very little. They’ll have to force a government shutdown and that will give us a little leverage but we are still a few weeks away.

Mexico's left-wing Jewish president has an 85% approval rating and continues to do more to combat Trump than our own so-called opposition party. Democrats could learn from this, if they wanted to.

@EdenstromPetra @EmzCollett @JohnImrie10 @Lexiosity @atalanta44 @andysayshi1 @ThomasWillett9 Being a woman is tied to gender, which is psychological and not directly tied to genitalia. Trans people don’t infringe on women’s rights any more than gay or black people did, even though you guys keep using the same tired rhetoric.

@EmzCollett @JohnImrie10 @Lexiosity @atalanta44 @zachrobert15 @andysayshi1 @ThomasWillett9 No they're not. Claims that a "woman" can have a penis and be a lesbian. Entitlement in expecting to be seen as women while infringing on womens rights to safe dignified single sex provions. It's the cult and victim mentality when all don't bow down etc. All that is ridiculous.

@EccentricGuru @LGBwiththeT Seriously, there’s so much research that you could find if you actually cared about educating yourself. jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman… jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap…

@EccentricGuru @LGBwiththeT Basically every trans person would disagree with you, and every major medical association.

@595Toby @Atomicgrizz1 @NotDecade @brodynauticafan Especially since the comic and show Invincible would canonically be two separate dimensions.

@Atomicgrizz1 @NotDecade @brodynauticafan No, he literally isn't, nowhere has it ever been said in the comic or the show that he was the only good Mark, just that in most dimensions he took over the planet.

The fact Angstrom remembers this yet still recruited Capevincible

@andysayshi1 @EmzCollett @ThomasWillett9 “Disrupting the natural development” is the entire point of healthcare. A whole lot of natural things in development are pretty harmful, and healthcare resolves them. The body is altered because that’s the only treatment known to work. You’re advocating for conversion therapy.

Of course kids deserve healthcare. But disrupting the natural development of their bodies, often with lifelong side effects, is not solving anything. Puberty is not the enemy, and is almost always the cure. A child’s mind is the most malleable part of their bodies. If their mind and body are out of sync, why alter the body instead of the mind? Helping a child to find peace with the only body they will ever have is the logical and safest intervention. There are endless reports of kids getting prescribed PB and hormones in their first visit to a clinic. And anecdotally that happened to my niece, so I know firsthand that it happens. Planned Parenthood are reknowned for it.

@GrannyCahill @jaxlivinbby Actually, it’s entirely possible to change sex. There are people known to do so completely naturally, not that doing so medically isn’t possible either. bbc.com/news/magazine-…

@jaxlivinbby As humans are incapable of changing sex, you didn't have a "sex change operation". You got modified & the surgeon got richer.
