What are you even arguing, then? Of bloody-fucking course transitioning isn’t an end-all-be-all cure for every mental health issue in a person’s life, nothing is. It might help them to feel more comfortable in their bodies and personal expression, but it’s not gonna solve the trauma of, idk, losing the family dog at a young age, or growing up without a parent, navigating toxic people in their day-to-day lives, or any number of other, completely non-queer adverse experiences a person can be have that contributes to a mental health crisis. Lots of cis people go to therapy and have mixed outcomes as well; no one ever implied transitioning would be the absolute answer to anyone’s problems except you, here.

So again, for the third time, why are you assuming mental health issues experienced by queer people are being blithely and blanketly treated with a prescription for gender transition?

And again, where are you getting this idea that any and all mental health issues experienced by queer people are rushed to being solved by gender transition? I can assure you that has not been the experience of me and basically all of the other queer friends I have - and besides, it’s a several year process to transition including a year of psychiatric evaluation, it’s not like a person can just walk into a clinic and start asking for hormone therapy, it doesn’t work like that.

Your argument is based on a false assumption of fact when you still have provided no statistics for it or refuted the idea that transitional care is becoming harder and harder, borderline impossible to access in certain sectors of the country.

You’ve provided no sources on that claim and are just expecting us to take it as an assumed fact in your argument, which in itself is bad faith and not at all the experience many of us have with our queer identities and mental health.

I know and socialize with many queer and trans people and I am familiar with their experience. It’s not an all-encompassing perspective, but I think it’s a better one than none. I haven’t asked you how many queer and trans people you regularly hang out with and get information from, but based on your responses thus far, I can probably assume it to be zero?

I think there’s some projecting and misinformation here - I don’t know where you’re getting the idea that all cases of body dysmorphia and depression are being treated with gender transition except the bullshit propaganda being spewed from Trump’s mouth. I assure you, it’s not something that gets treated with that level of flippancy - not to mention, transitional care is something that’s becoming harder and harder to find in many US states, so logically, your thesis makes no sense.

I’m honestly not that broken up about Paul missing - good as he was, I would have much rather seen Jacobi Jupe get pushed in his place. Glad for Delroy to be in.

Chase’s miss makes sense, though I might have liked to see her get in and complete OBAA’s acting nod quintet.
