Comment on Baroness Cass wants to push age for starting transitioning to 25 (NHS Adult Gender Identity Clinics)
Flax_vert@feddit.uk 3 weeks agoIsn’t that more of the philosophical debate over the topic over the medical debate?

I’m having difficulty understanding that question.

This asshole is a reactionary debate pervert deathly afraid of “illegal channel hoppers” immigrants “taking advantage” of UK welfare. I think they are a lost cause.

Yeah I knew i recognized the name. Pretty sure they got banned from .ml
Just look at their replies to me in this thread. They are allergic to introspection.

Like medical practicioners won’t worry about someone who wants to be the opposite sex but isn’t going under any form of mental trauma, etc

She blocked you so I will respond instead: “wants to be” you are so far from the point you might as well be on a different planet. This is not about what we “want to be” it’s about what we ARE.
You are just refusing to actually listen to us and instead trying to debate your way to justifying your own reactionary worldview. Kindly go fuck yourself and do not come back.

I’m operating off of the model here which I picked up around ten years ago that the term “sex” refers to your body’s default position, male/female at birth. While gender is what’s in the mind. So a trans woman would have the gender of female but the sex of male. If my terminology is incorrect, you are free to correct me. However, you are acting completely hostile and horrible towards me, randomly bringing immigration and race into this. I do have patience, but you constantly cussing me out here is abusing that affects how seriously I take your position. I can’t even remember what we’re even talking about anymore without going back quite a bit because of how you’re de-railing this conversation.
The human nature of many is to act in a reactionary way to being attacked, to dig heels in and be defensive. Maybe I am surrounded by reactionaries, or maybe you are the reactionary. I’m not sure. But it seems like I have done something despicably evil by trying to get out of what could be an echo chamber and discuss this topic with people outside of it. Over time on Lemmy I have tried to become more understanding of the transgender cause, and there are many excellent people on here who have caused me to rethink this topic and changed my position on it. Even someone else on here got me to rethink my previous age bracket of 18 and lower it to 16. I can’t really take scientific positions, but I do have a model which I am trying to build that’ll reason (for example, if puberty blockers truly don’t cause long term effects in most cases, then I don’t see the issue in using them on children).
Thankfully, I like to see the best in people and groups, and I like to think that you’re just a minority in the community of pro trans people, or even possibly having a bad day. So I won’t tar the whole group with a whole brush. But other people I know wouldn’t even give you the time of day to discuss the matter, nevermind put up with your toxicity.
