No time to explain such simple things. Iran is classified as a terrorist nation. They attacked our embassy, killed people and kidnapped our diplomats for 444 days. So, no I don't like Iran.
> Iran is classified as a terrorist nation
I mean you can see why though, right? US support of Israel and a perception of colonialism in American foreign policy play a major role in anti-American sentiment. I think both sides should understand each other's perspectives in order to make peace rather than blanket hating entire countries of people. Isn't understanding the historical context a better move then just throwing your hands up and saying they're a country of terrorists and "they" are collectively responsible for all the actions taken by individual terrorists or by their government?
>US support of Israel and a perception of colonialism in American foreign policy
You mean like the recent Biden Waiver on Iranian sanctions..worth about 10 billion to them?
Totally supporting israel with that one /s
We can’t actually see what you wrote though. Sure the premise of trans people changing their minds isn’t some huge revelation and is expected. I don’t think progressives disagree with that premise and that’s an NY times article.
I don’t get that. How can someone not really be what they are. And on top of that, it sounds like they’re reducing skin color and ethnicity to just a culture, which proposes a whole other set of issues.
I meant on Reddit. OP said a situation about his own daughter and the first comment was "Sure" expressing disbelief.
I speak on Reddit in a way that doesn't 100% align with how a black person should think according to the populous and people will tell me I'm not actually black.
OP made his daughter up/I'm making up that I'm black
Uh sweetie that’s clearly just your internalized racism, don’t you know that minorities are only allowed to have certain opinions?? /s
I seriously cannot believe people actually make that absolutely ridiculously racist argument unironically. It’s just a blatant attempt to ignore any dissenting opinions and implies minorities aren’t capable of making their own independent decisions.
Lol not the same but I get that a lot from commies when I criticize Marx, who’s work I’ve actually read a significant amount of, and I get hit with the “You didn’t actually *understand* what you read” or just “no you didn’t”
They’re the same people who go with the “Marxism is *scientific,* it doesn’t have any pre existing ideologies or morality it’s based off of, all the morals come from *science!*”
Report for re-education, please. I feel you. I got permanently banned when I called them out for conflating gender dysphoria with radical gender theory. Ironically, I got unmanned after telling the admins to fuck off for being dishonest ideologies who misrepresent established science for political ends.

I got a temp ban from the /r/michigan sub because I said that "mentally ill people were complaining they were losing healthcare coverage".
The mods messaged me, after the ban, and said "Gender Dysphoria is NOT a mental illness"
Odd, because the de facto standard for medical diagnostics of mental illnesses, the DSM-IV, specifically has "Gender Dysphoria" in there.
People go back in the closet for a while, too. Don't know if that's what's happning here, but it's a common response to parents being NOT OK with trans kid.
Yeah that's what I'm saying. In situations like this it cannoften be the kid is just hiding it from you now. Still, people should have the right to post shit takes and suffer the consequences without Reddit admins removing their comment
That’s purely hypothetical to write “it can often be the kid is hiding it from you now”. It’d be equally accurate to write “they likely never were trans, they just succumbed to social pressure”.
The only points your view gets is that you like it better, so you’d prefer to believe it. You have zero evidence that it is more likely than the opposite.
There’s veeeeery little peer reviewed data on any of that. But the general take away is that people that tried to transition as adults do because of money, and people that did it as kids do because they realized it’s not who they are/were pressured. Which is a major concern with allowing children to physically transition. Before I get bombarded with downvotes this is again generalizations that can be taken from data and your one friend outlier isn’t all.
>But the general take away is that people that tried to transition as adults do because of money, and people that did it as kids do because they realized it’s not who they are/were pressured
I'd love to know where you got this "general takeaway" from as you hand waive away peer reviewed data for being too scant.
[Reddit admins will ban you for posting peer-reviewed research.](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10063975/#:~:text=Further%2C%20many%20children%20who%20show,to%20increase%20at%20this%20time.)
Why do you give a shit about this? If some person ends up regretting it later, so what? We all have shit we regret later in life. Some people might regret not transitioning sooner. There's so much insanely regrettable shit that kids are left to stumble into, and are sometimes even forced into, every day. You don't give a shit about any of that. Why obsessively post of reddit about this one thing? Seems like a giant waste of time for anyone that has anything of substance going on in their life.
Because he’s a bigot and thinks this is a good argument against trans people existing. That’s why he can’t post the actual comment he made because it was full of hate.
This is why reddit is dogwater. REEEEEEE THEY DISAGREE THEY MUST BE A BIGOT REEEEE TRANS GENOCIDE. Reddit mods ban people for no reason every day, they are the most disrespected mods on the planet. Right under discord mods.
Correcting spelling when you use hateful insults and make misspellings yourself is cringe. Couldn’t find anything interesting on a profile dive, I take it?
The irony of this comment on a post where OP used bigoted and hatefilled terms for trans people and cried about getting his comment removed is astounding
In a certain sense you're right. If you can laugh at Theon Greyjoy you can laugh at trans people. (They both did something stupid in a fit of irrational enthusiasm and came to regret it.)
However, this is a discussion on medical ethics and whether "gender affirming care" is actually medicine and not just voodoo witch doctor scam medicine.
If we allow the AMA to chop off perfectly healthy body parts, normies will lose confidence in medical institutions. I like my doctor having to be thoroughly vetted by YEARS of science based medical schools. You know? Medicine is kind of important?
Medical institutions being infiltrated by political ideologues is how we had the mess of mass covid vaccine skepticism. If you want normies to "trust the science" it kind of helps if you have competent rational people in there, right?
“Why give a shit about this” when you’re losing the argument with factual sources is a bad take.
In the converse, why do *you* give a shit about this so much? Why are you so invested in kids transitioning? If this was any other demographic you’d be accused of fetishizing it.
Are you fucking retarded? I'm not losing any argument because I've made no argument. I haven't argued in favor of anyone transitioning. I don't need to argue in favor of it because, as the basis of my question insinuated, I don't give a shit. It's none of my business in the same way it's none of your business. The difference is that you are too fucking stupid to understand it's none of your business. Concentrate on beating off to cartoons or whatever other deeply weird shit you do when you aren't concern trolling about what people who want nothing to do with you are doing. You're pathetic.
Lol. You're so wrong.

Regretting gender reassignment surgery long term is at 1 percent.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8213007/
A secondary analysis was performed on data from the U.S. Transgender Survey, a cross-sectional nonprobability survey of 27,715 TGD adults in the United States
A total of 17,151 (61.9%) participants reported that they had ever pursued gender affirmation, broadly defined. Of these, 2242 (13.1%) reported a history of detransition. Of those who had detransitioned, 82.5% reported at least one external driving factor. Frequently endorsed external factors included pressure from family and societal stigma.
A total of 15.9% of respondents reported at least one internal driving factor, including fluctuations in or uncertainty regarding gender identity.
THATS YOUR PROOF? Hahaha. What percentage of trans people do they represent, math challenged Magat? Why is this so important to you to believe? Religion? Loool
Honestly, you're right.
They should just leave the comment visible, so everyone can see whatever dumbass opinion garnered it -44 karma and show that most people don't agree with it.
If anything, letting people see how unpopular your transphobia is will be beneficial to the cause.
