Sorry this one is a binary. Either you believe that kids should be able to control their own identity and body within age appropriate ranges, or you don't. There is no third side to this.

Now you're just being silly. You've got this framed within total dogma. You're aware that kids explore and experiment with identity, right?

yes, that is why we’re advocating for puberty blockers, to give kids exploring their identities more time to do so without having their bodies move in a direction they realize is damaging to them

please don't act like there aren't risks and down sides. Where are the adults on this topic?

there are “risks and downsides” to antidepressants too but I’d probably be dead if I didn’t start taking them at 13

That's why antidepressants shouldn't be handed out to everyone who thinks they need them. Fortunately they haven't been politicized so people are able to discuss antidepressants without losing their mind.

You literally don't know, at all, what you're talking about "The wokes" don't exist as a unified group the way you act like they do, which is why you think that "woke" discourse around mental illness and disability and the medical gatekeeping thereof isn't a thing

I am here to tell you as a Certified Woke™ that the politics of the diagnosis of mental illness and the gatekeeping of psychotropic substances is absolutely a "woke thing" that I and many other people hold "woke" opinions on for "woke" reasons

And the dude that conservative label the Father of Wokeness (Foucault) was *obsessed* with this topic - the core thesis of Discipline and Punish was first that a hospital is a kind of prison and vice versa and second that in our society all of us are patients and inmates

I read Foucault literally 30 years ago as an undergrad and at that point loved Discipline and Punish, the panopticon, everything. Is it used to argue against psychiatric treatment?
