Jizzy Smeagol getting all heated that in his professional expert opinion it's wrong to put a child on blockers who "isn't experiencing dysphoria" Note that the Greek word "dysphoria" is a short, compact way to try to say "The worst psychological sensation a person can have"

"A sensation of overwhelming, universal wrongness, that it would be better not to be alive or not to exist than to be having this experience here and now, a profound desire to flee, to disappear, to die" The opposite of "euphoria"

People have hammered in again and again that Jesse, in his own words, doesn't believe in gender identity or that trans people really are what they say they are, he only believes in "dysphoria" and "treating dysphoria" And here's what that means in all its glory

"See, when your kid tells you something about who they are, you can't just accept it right away You gotta follow Ken Zucker's patented method of pushing back against it and trying to deny it You gotta keep telling them they're wrong and see how upset they get"

"I mean of course they'll get UPSET, everyone gets upset But you don't know if they're REALLY trans until they get REALLY REALLY upset, upset enough to KILL THEMSELVES Without that first suicide attempt how do you know they're not faking"

That's just science That's just making sure That's just doing your due diligence as a medical professional And if, sometimes, you don't swoop in quite early enough and they actually succeed in killing themselves, well, price of doing business

TERFs love to accuse trans people of weaponizing suicide the way abusers do and it never gets through their thick fucking skulls that THEY MADE THAT THE ONLY OPTION Cis people wouldn't just let you do what you wanted with your own fucking body unless the alternative was death

Jesse is advocating monstrous abuse here -- "You should've pushed back on that and kept telling your daughter she was a son and seen if she started cutting or something" -- and treating it like the humane, common-sense, scientific way to raise a kid God fuck him

And it fucking sucks because no one should want to have to go there We should be having the conversation of just *letting people do what they want and be happy* before suicide even gets on the table But fucking gatekeepers won't let you, they demand proof you're really serious

And yeah, they're right, most people won't kill themselves For all of history most gay people just kinda sucked it up and found a way to deal with societal homophobia while continuing to live Most "hysterical" women adapted to a sexist society without going Full Medea

But so the fuck what Why should people accept that that kind of life is the best you can fucking do How much of a piece of shit do you have to be to *congratulate* yourself over this fact "Well they all said he'd kill himself but instead he lived a long and godly life"
