  • Yeah, because being objectified and sexualised from before you even hit puberty, having fewer rights (including those to your own body), getting paid less for the same work and not at all for all the work that isn't considered work by men like raising kids and running a home, wondering if we're one of the women who WILL statistically get murdered by their partner on any given week, being subjected to near constant rape threats and almost certainly (again, statistically it's pretty much all women) surviving sexual harassment and abuse if not rape too and then facing an entire system dedicated to discrediting and blaming you while protecting the abusers ("wouldn't want to ruin his life over a bit of fun"), as well as having to deal with misogynistic asshats such as yourself who convince themselves that because men buy us drinks at bars (in an expectation of sex, of course) we've got it easy, and pretend none of the other things are happening because it's easier to gaslight your victims than it is to accept that you're a massive and active part of the problem, on a daily basis, is a real fucking treat..

    Ass.

  • Fair enough, I get your point that there is a philosophical question with no consensus on an answer in the kind of example you gave (potentially, unknowingly, unintentionally causing harm to a single individual at some hypothetical point in the future), and that there are interesting discussions to be had about those kinds of situations, but I still maintain that the example bares no relevance to the situation we're discussing here (deliberately, certainly, directly and immediately causing the deaths and suffering of countless people), because as you say yourself, it's quite easy to make the direct link from CEO to deaths.

  • but it clearly made a difference

    Have you looked around lately?

    We see similar effort by Bill Gates. I think for the same reason.

    Lmfao, I guess not.

    If nothing else, at least you can say that the billionaires have successfully pulled the wool over your eyes.

  • So trans people are actually the real transphobes, because real transphobes flock in to trans space to attack trans people.. That's some real sound ass backwards logic you got there, bigot (being trans doesn't exclude you from lateral bigotry, which is what you are actively participating in).

  • My understanding is by medical standards, the evidence is pretty low quality,

    Your understanding is wrong and influenced by transphobic rhetoric, not "medical standards", which have considered puberty blockers safe and effective since at least the 1980s.

    The use of puberty blockers is supported by twelve major American medical associations, including the American Medical Association,[14] the American Psychological Association,[15] and the American Academy of Pediatrics.[16] the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry,[17] the Pediatric Endocrine Society,[18] the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists,[19] the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists,[20] and the American College of Physicians.[21] In Australia four medical organizations support them,[22] as does the Endocrine Society,[23] and the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH).[24]

    Overall, puberty blockers have demonstrated an excellent safety and efficacy profile in the treatment of precocious puberty. The most common side effects reported include nonspecific headaches, hot flashes, and implant-related skin reactions.[39]

    E: and before you try throwing bone density at me, most of the people impacted are cis (and will not be stopped from taking blockers), and either way, there is simple treatment to counteract this minor issue (and which is completely insignificant when compered to the alternative). The ban is 100% motivated by transphobia and cruelty.
