"It's always better to avert the need for lifelong medical intervention"

cool study! 98% continued treatment, because being trans is real and being on hormones helps trans people!

The focal point was that sacrificing one's health for external presentation might not be the right answer, because hrt and cosmetic surgeries don't come without a physical price to pay (especially if you then find out that transition isn't for you, you are now stuck with long term effects).

Somehow trans activists seem to only focus on the supposed mental health benefits and never on the physical health aspect; which should also be as important.

You know what the fuck a chair is. If you asked for a chair to sit down, and I brought in some random guy, you’d be pissed. But what’s the problem? He identifies as a chair!

Words mean things because that’s why we have words. It is a communication tool, and it is entirely dependent on the mutual understandings of definitions. I don’t believe for a second that “woman” and “man” just happen to be the only words that you cannot define because ohhhh it’s just so messy and tricky and philosophical, bruh! Deep stuff!

If these words were really that unintelligible, that confusing, that vague… then we simply would not use them. Because that is not how words are designed to work. If a word has no meaning, it’s just gibberish.

But, you know what a “woman” is, in your eyes, don’t you? It’s “whoever is feminine enough”… isn’t it? But of course you don’t want to say that, because people would easily be able to pick that apart. You’ve been backed into a corner with this question, so all you can do is dodge it with non-answers until they leave you alone.
