And here we see yet another person screeching like a banshee over a Lemmy thread
You were overgeneralising your own argument by stating that if children didn’t receive gender affirming care they would “likely kill themselves”. That is what you said. The word “likely” is doing insane amounts of heavy lifting, however it implies that they are more likely to kill themselves than not. You are saying I am misconstruing your point when I understood it in the way that any other person would
Trans children are 4x more likely to commit suicide. Okay, well do you think that’s simply because of there not being gender affirming care available? Or do you think its because of the actual transphobia perpetuated in our media and society that you accuse me of?
Sure, the AK47 example was a tad bit extreme and I will concede that it was a bad example, but the point still stands that children should not be making permanent life-altering changes. The fact is, the cost to society and the individual itself due to detransitioning will likely be greater
I support trans people and their plight for acceptance in this world but this rhetoric and ideology is not how you do it

“People get angry when I spread rhetoric that kills children, and that makes me sad :(” Quit whining dickhead.

Do you not know how to read? How many more times do I need to share this statistic with you?:

The extent of my ideology I have shared in this comment thread is wanting children to not have to go through mental torment because some person somewhere doesn’t like the idea of them thinking for themselves. You know nothing more about what my ideas are. Period.
Edit: Just saw your statement about me using the word likely. Likely doesn’t mean 100%. Here’s a definition of that word for you:
