Whatever you think the cause of being trans is -- be it genetic or environmental, nature or nurture -- since blood siblings raised in the same household share both, the chance of them both being trans is probably pretty high

It's actually really obnoxious when people play this kind of card as a gotcha -- trans people MUST be rare, it's a RULE that they be rare, and they must not only be rare but normally distributed throughout the population, by lottery Anything else is sinister

The actual point you're making here, that it MUST be the result of a mother MAKING her kids trans and that this constitutes some kind of abuse, is disgusting In and of itself, it is a transphobic sentiment

I dunno how to get this across if you don't get it Wanting trans people to be rare, thinking that it's a law of nature that there's a limit to how many trans people you can have and more than that is a "red flag", IS ANTI-TRANS

Being trans, going through transition, is hard. It can't be made easy, it's really difficult. Dilating a neovagina is painful. Vaginal atrophy is painful. I'd like transition to be safe, legal and rare. It's necessary for some, but there are better ways to manage dysphoria.

No, you just want to make life as hard as possible for trans people. And what you suggest is nothing but declaring that those who are trans must be stripped of their rights. There is zero reason transition should be hard. You just can't see trans people as people by default.

I don't want to make life hard for trans people. I recognize that trying to change your sex is impossible, and creating a simulacrum is painful. The surgeons have been working on this for decades. What they do is still brutal. What is cruel is telling kids it's safe and easy.

What nonsense. You are just trying to rationalise pushing conversion therapy..which doesn't work. That's your problem, all you are advocating is making life worse for trans people to make YOU feel better.

Which part is nonsense? You think phalloplasty works?

You sound a lot like my creepy pastor who once went "Do you know what gay men ACTUALLY DO with each other?" and then went into a lurid description of how he imagined the mechanics of anal penetration followed by a description of the symptoms of AIDS

Like just to be blunt I don't think your assessment of trans teen sex lives based on browsing a Reddit sub and watching a reality show has any weight and I don't want to discuss this shit with you no matter how eagerly you try to bring it up

Any more than those homophobic weirdos being all "Do you want your son to grow up with a lifetime of THIS?" and busting out their collection of anal prolapse photos

The whole bs against trans ppl is just the "gay debate" recycled. Just worse and even more pseudo-medicalised. And those few doctors who push conversion "therapy" usually are those who don't push actual research and then complain that treatment isn't advanced enough...
