Looking for somewhere to discuss stuff that doesn’t swing right or left and doesn’t ban people for voicing an opinion.

    I don’t agree with the ideals of transgenders.

    What does that even mean?

    From my perspective trans people just want people to stop weaponizing the government against them. It’s just the latest bs moral panic to keep people distracted on culture war nonsense instead of actually trying to change anything of substance for the better.

      It means that social media and now some public institutions enable transgenders to not seek mental health support for their gender dysphoria, and continue to act out. It’s really sad and I want them to get help.

        Don’t really see how you have come to that conclusion. Lots of institutions in conservative states are making it harder for trans people to get treatment rather than the inverse. Honestly this reads more like concern trolling.

          I don’t live in the USA, but that’s why I’d never vote for them.

            Ok, so what institutions from your area do you feel block trans people from getting medical care?

              I never said that , I said gender dysphoria is being enabled instead of being encouraged to seek treatment.

                It sounds like you have misconceptions about what the best practice medical treatment is for trans people. Allowing people to present how they desire and be their true selves is what alleviates dysphoria.

        I thought there was a mental health component in the preparation/decision process prior to transitioning.

            So OP lives in a place where this isn’t the case? I understand being upset about that.
