I have a young friend who is detransitioning. She has ASD and bought into the belief that to be herself she had to transition. Her "counsellor" is problematic, paternalistic and probably getting referred to safeguarding.
I have watched the trainwreck of the whole situation with sadness, but I am trying to support her
I hate that people who aren't buying into the trans "healthcare" scam are being labeled "conservative misogynists who are probably anti-abortion" now. Most of us are radical feminists who are tired of seeing our spaces being colonized by fetishistic males, and seeing young girls being told that if they don't want to be sexually objectified, they should turn into boys. The people turning this into a conservative vs liberals issue are falling prey to exactly what the politicians on both sides want: polarizing issues that they can hold over womens' heads.
I’m starting to wonder if the body-positivity movement has made plastic surgeons target their advertising towards the promotion of trans ideology. Advertising through paying influencers or even medical professionals makes it so difficult to tell what is an organic development in the culture and what is being popularized because someone is profiting from it.
My oldest kiddo is a trans woman. She's been on hormone therapy for a few years now (she's 25). She was born uncomfortable in this world, and is now much happier. She's also more pleasant, because estrogen makes people nicer. I love my kiddo and support her fully.
I'm happy we have one more woman in the world (and one less man).
I have been on hormone replacement therapy for about a decade (menopause). I feel so much better than before.
I'm not sure why some people are so spun up about giving hormones to adults. They are literally the building blocks of personality, emotion, and general health. Hormones fluctuate throughout life, and people for millennia have found ways to regulate them (herbs, plants, etc).
Frankly, I think the world would be a better place if we gave every man some estrogen. With a lower testosterone-to-estrogen ratio, they'd stop being competitive, warlike, rapey assholes. And they'd become more emotionally intelligent & cooperative.
Many of the issues we talk about here at FDS could be solved by dosing men with estrogen. 😉
Seems like we still have the same amount of men in the world to me, just one more male on hormones he’s not supposed to take causing him health problems in the future and entitlement to female spaces. What’s new?
You can't change your sex. You son still is and always has been a man. The misogyny inherent in assuming women are costumes to don or feelings to claims is staggering.
I waited a while to comment on this but, basically, you’re a jackass.
Trans men who co-op women’s spaces is problematic, but this issue is more complex than a stupid fake YouTube video.
Keep in mind that, eventually, you’ll be menopausal and hormones, bio-identical or straight-up replacement will be a thing. Women suffering breast cancer, women suffering endometriosis, and masses of other diseases which will require hormones…these ridiculous stories meant to encourage anti-hormone therapy…..you are like the anti-abortion woman-killer who doesn’t accept that preventative pregnant-mother death is acceptable because of stupid whores^TM fucking LVM’s.
Part of my brain thinks that you’re a member of the anti-woman, anti-abortion cohort of FDS that is disgustingly conservative and doesn’t support women’s health, but it doesn’t matter. That part of FDS is abhorrent and inexcusable as is whatever this diatribe and agenda you’re supporting that you’ve posted now.
I waited a while to say this too...but really if we are striving to be as high value as possible, then even if we disagree, there is zero reason to call another woman such an undelightful term as you just did out here on these FDS streets!
No excuses for being so nasty.
I understand you feel a specific way about the topic but no matter how passionate we are about a topic, it doesn't give us the right to treat a fellow Queen like we are a misogynist man or even as male-identified woman.
We are all better than that, because we are here and we have free education to apply on how to do better.
Most women who are against gender ideology are not conservative. We are progressives who understand biological reality and don't appreciate removing sex-based protections and laws for the sake of men who claim to be us (usually based on sexist stereotypes as well). You can't change sex, and humans are gonochoric, not sequential hermaphradites, so there are only 2 sexes. Intersex people are either male or female, with disorders of sexual development.
