I've no idea what you're talking about now Arthur and since you lied so completely about what I'd actually said, it's impossible to know how much you're lying about someone else now. Try telling the truth next time. Then people can better judge whether you're a fantasist. Or not.

Kenneth Zucker, one of the leading lights of "watchful waiting" conversion therapy of the kind the LGB Alliance spent this morning defending, did an experiment inviting adult men to judge the "attractiveness" of children with dysphoriahttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/14764347_Physical_attractiveness_of_boys_with_gender_identity_disorder …

I didn't end up in Zucker's clinic until 2003, so I'm in some of his studies but thankfully not this one

I was 14 and past the trigger age at which he would seriously try to push against transition, so after several months of extremely hamhanded gatekeeping I was permitted to start a low dose of testosterone blockers after turning 15.

At your initiative, rather than someone else's, right? Do you feel like you were given all the information you needed to make an informed choice?

Yeah, it was entirely after a lot of prolonged fighting from me and three different clinics which were much friendlier on the surface that had strict non-medical intervention policies for <16 at the time and were thus useless.

Why do you think they had those policies? Some people would say that's mainly to make sure people are old enough to make an informed decision and take into account some fairly significant implications and risks. It seems a bigger deal than a tattoo, for example.

The repeated misuse of the "tattoo" analogy as you've done here is so blatantly disingenuous If you let a child get a sugar skull tattooed onto their face, even that wouldn't be nearly as permanent or irreversible as what that child's own body will do to them of its own volition

Yeah the fallacy that there's a natural, "untattooed" state when it comes to puberty is the whole fucking issue at hand
