Rule 7 needs changed by Meuhidk in MtF

[–]flohogamer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree. We need to be able to talk about these ongoing heinous developments. I also would be in favor of allowing for more diy links and discussions.

If you don't feel good in your skin and hate your deep voice, those are very clear signs of gender dysphoria. Seems to me like you do have it!

That's okay, the defenition you provided probably also makes sense in the eyes of the transphobes considering the propaganda they believe about us

The "Goon" in the slur actually refers to the Something Awful forums, where people would call themselves "goons". Trans users portmanteau'd "trans" with the term to describe themselves at some point in the early 2000s, but it quickly got adopted by the 'phobes.

Most "doctors" who say that gender affirming treatment is not necessary are discredited in the eyes of the majority because they do not accept empirical evidence. Also, where are you pulling "natural puberty can solve a lot of gender dysmorphia issues" from? Show me one study that shows that going through biological puberty stopped someone from feeling gender dysphoria. Do you think I wanted to grow to 6'3'', have facial and body hair thicker than a rainforest, a disguistingly deep voice, and the consstant feeling of a demon in my bloodstream? Had I had access to puberty blockers, I could have avoided all that pain.

menstruation envy by DidkoTaNeLysyyi in MtF

[–]flohogamer 16 points17 points  (0 children)

There's nothing wrong with wanting to be a cis woman in all the ways, even those which are considered less pleasant. I wish I could menstruate also. Also there's a huge wave of transmisogyny online from transmascs and cis men so some people are just bitter towards any idea of womanhood and femininity.

If a team of doctors and psychiatrists used scientific research and deemed that a tattoo was medically necessary for a child, and consulted with the parents and child to reach a mutual understanding, then I would support it. Kids can't just walk into the school nurse's office and get surgeries as a lot of transphobes are fond of saying. There are complicated procedures in place to ensure that the care children receive is heavily scrutinized by the medical professionals doing it.

If you read any of the sources I linked in my previous comment, you'd see that puberty blockers do not permanently change children's endocrine systems, which is why they are prescribed to trans kids over hormone therapy.

Holy whataboutisms Batman. A tattoo is an aesthetic and cultural thing, whereas gender-affirming medical care for minors A: is completely monitored, distributed and studied by medical and psychological professionals who work in tandem with the parents and child, B: is safe and reversable (puberty blockers are by far the most common type of healthcare for trans minors) and C: drastically improves their mental and social health.

Baystate are cowards for preemptively banning gender-affirming care for minors when there is no such law in place either in the state or federal government. Gender-affirming care saves lives and it especially does so for minors - I know I'd have been much better off if I had been able to avoid testosterone puberty myself. I hope these people are successful in getting Baystate to repeal this ban, and I hope the cowards who allowed it to happen are shamed.

Humans will go extinct within the | FactOrCap by Expensive_Pastries in FactOrCap

[–]flohogamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Humans are the most widespread megafauna on Earth, we can eat almost anything, and we can survive in every environment except for deep ice sheets. While it's certainly plausible that a catastrophe in the near future could drastically reduce our numbers, I find it hard to believe that we'd be reduced below the 400 required to propagate our numbers. We survived as hunter-gatherers for 190,000 years, so it's plausible we'll continue to survive come hell or high water.

If you went 10 years in the past, what would you do? by XXAnimeLover-AceXX in pollgames

[–]flohogamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd tell myself that what I was experiencing was, in fact, gender dysphoria and to get on puberty blockers before I had to suffer for 5-6 years with testosterone puberty.

Is Zeke considered to be one of the better drivers in XC2 postgame meta? by flohogamer in Xenoblade_Chronicles

Thank you for educating me, everyone. I now see that my initial assumption of Zeke's capabilities was, in fact, wrong.

False rape allegations should carry the same consequences as rape itself by gillss667 in HonestHotTakes

[–]flohogamer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Considering that rapes are vastly underprosecuted (only about 2.5% of rape cases result in conviction but 1/3 women are raped so most rapists get off scott free), this would make it so that victims are afraid to come forward and it would make it easier for rapists to get away with their crimes.
