I mentioned SSRIs *specifically* as a well known, widely accepted counterexample to your bullshit claim that HRT for trans people is the only time anyone ever prescribes a drug that creates a future dependence on that drug

You don’t prescribe SSRI’s *in order to create a dependence on SSRIs* - you prescribe them for depression or OCD. Almost all children with gender dysphoria will grow out of it; puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones turn dysphoria into a life-long medical condition.

So you're really stuck on this trip that transition isn totally unnecessary as a treatment for dysphoria and the only reason people are doing it is cause they're just rolling around in profits from selling unpatented generic meds at close to cost

Puberty resolves almost all gender dysphorias; by blocking it, by prescribing cross-sex hormones, and by the affirmation of a gender identity that has no clear definition, you are *making* transgender children. It is an iatrogenic condition.

Also really not very different from the medicalized view of "homosexuality" as an illness in the DSM, and the claims that it was caused by early sexualization and "recruitment"

No, it isn’t. YOU are the one who wants dysphoria treated chemically and surgically. YOU are the one who supports the medicalisation of children who might otherwise grow up as perfectly healthy gay men or lesbians.

Yeah and you're bringing back the 1960s shit about how being gay means that you've got an opposite-sexed brain and there's some objective correlation between femininity and gay men too What superstitions won't you resurrect

WHERE THE FUCK DID I SAY ANYTHING LIKE THAT? I haven’t said there are ‘male’ and ‘female’ brains. There *aren’t* male and female brains except in the sense that they exist in a sexed body. That’s why it’s doubly stupid to say that someone can have the wrong brain for their body.

It’s TRAs like you that insist that there are sexed brains. Where else would an ‘innate gender identity’ be housed? What is a fact is that homophobic parents would rather have a ‘daughter born in the wrong body’ than a gay son or a ‘son born in the wrong body’ than a lesbian.

Lol and you just take it as a fact that being gender nonconforming means you're gay But you're not an essentialist

They continue to argue this "transition as conversion therapy" thing as though like 70% of trans people overall and 99% of nonbinary people specifically don't identify as gay/bi/pan/ace. If it's an attempt to turn gays into straights, it's a staggering failure.

Of course, they have completely separate explanations for gay trans women, gay trans men, and nonbinary people who don't medically transition. Bi/pan/ace trans people, and nonbinary people who DO medically transition, are ignored or handwaved away.
