I deeply encourage you to sit back and read that again. What I'm reading here in your statement, is that you believe that it's better for children to transition than those that might actually be closer to adult age. The fact that we don't even allow 18-year-olds to drink, or minors to get tattoos.....

If McDonalds was as unregulated as the sex work industry.... Maybe.

...Okay, you lost me. What are we talking about?

Studies have shown that legalizing pimping has increased levels of sex trafficking and that ther Nordic model does work, because it offers a better way out for the 89% of prostituted women that want out of that bussiness. Selling your body is not a "job", it's paid rape. Especially because your bod...

[quote="Z6IIAB"]I hope SSmotzer remembers that the world doesn't sums up to USA or UK. Hormonization with the intent of changing healthy sexual puberty is harmful and I think we have enough research on the subject of hormones and the human body to back that up.[/quote] Yes, but we were mostly talkin...

But sex work is still work. The only reason it's as exploitative as it is is because it's pushed to the fringes of society and barely regulated. Studies have shown that any regulation of sex work drastically increases the health and happiness of all involved. But yes, there should be a blacklist on ...

I don't think their goals are profit. From all I can tell, they are just a little over eager to push their services onto people, regardless of profit. Most people are trying to be the good guy, and it just seems like Mermaids is just trying a little too hard is all. I mean, even the Westboro Baptist...

I would think that any unregulated capitalist system would try their damnedest to censor anyone who would impact their bottom line. Like the meat industry spending millions to shut down the "green new deal" or the medical industry spending millions on pushing opioids over cheaper, more effective, an...

I mean, if there's all this hoopla over hormones, the cry from people against implants should be deafening.

But Tavistock/Mermaids have therapists who should be trained to understand the difference between a homosexual and someone with gender dysphoria. I mean, sure, they are starting kids at a pretty young age, but it's better they have consoling from professionals instead of not knowing there was an opt...

It doesn't matter what you are on the outside. You can be anything you chose to be, and I want you to be the best you that you can be.

[quote="janelane"]The issue isn't hormone medication itself, but the lack of real informed consent about what it entails. People using it for cosmetics cannot predict its future effects, and big pharma actually refuses to research it. The increased risk of uterine cancer, heart attack and other fact...

[quote="janelane"]The comic is addressing the issue of transing kids by organisations like Tavistock and Mermaids, which have gone as far as to push parents into transitioning toddlers. Logic is if the kid doesn't act according to their "assigned" gender, they must not be that gender after all, and ...

This I can agree with. Brains are just brains. All grey matter. There's only one gender, whatever the heck you feel like.
