HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) is not some unnatural medication treatment. It’s literally just estrogen or testosterone depending on which gender is being transitioned to. Everyone has testosterone and estrogen. Kids go through puberty as a normal part of growing up.
Typical puberty is not dangerous and HRT causes the same kind of puberty meaning it’s not dangerous
HRT induced puberty is the exact same as typical puberty.
HRT ie Hormone replacement therapy makes trans people sterile. Also I previously that there have not been credible reports what you have cited are not credible. You yourself acknowledge in your previous comment that what you referenced was based on rumours. Im also willing to bet that those rumours were mostly spread by cis people as there is no credible evidence of these people you mentioned being secretly cis.
No cis person is going to go through the extensive often strenuous process to get on hormones. Which cause sterility as well as physical changes to their body just so that they can rape/abuse women. That is simply not the case. Also whether the crime was committed before or after transition doesn’t matter because ultimately transitioning as a trans person is about identity, not action.
The action is bad but is ultimately unrelated to said persons identity. A cereal killer can be gay but that doesn’t mean that their gayness is contingent or even because of their cereal killer actions. It’s simply part of their identity a coincidence essentially.
Ok so simply put trans people are people which means there will be bad and good people same with cis people. Just because a trans person did a bad thing doesn’t mean they aren’t still the gender they identify as or that they’re secretly cis.
I’m not excusing their actions but simply saying that trans people are still the gender they identify as regardless of their actions just like how gay men are still gay if they do bad things. It’s a matter of identity rather than action.
Another thing to add is that cis women also abuse and rape other women but they don’t get put in men’s prisons right? Trans women are women and should be placed in the prison that matches their gender.
I don’t believe there are any because generally speaking people don’t need to claim to be trans to do so. As I’ve said previously, a sign on a door is not a magic barrier, if someone wants to commit abuse of any kind they can just walk in and do that. All that this anti-trans bathroom etc stuff does is give people a legal pass to challenge a persons cis-ness and harass them that way regardless of if they are actually trans or not.
That is the real concern and there have already been credible reports of this harassment happening to people. Meanwhile there hasn’t been any credible reports of cis people pretending to be trans to abuse people.
Hey so I watched a video that really explains all this really well and figured I’d share it with you. For the record I do think our discussion was fruitful and amicable and that you did actually read what I said.
Anyways here’s the link https://youtu.be/BRg3t7KINzw
I used the stalls that are often in there. Also not every trans woman has that between her legs. Surgery is relatively commonly undergone so there would be no way to tell to the point even gynaecologists assume a person is cis when they’re actually trans unless told before hand.
Regardless I have never had a cis woman be uncomfortable around me in any woman’s space not just change rooms. My experience is not an outlier as I have known many trans women who have used women spaces without issue.
The answer is yes.
I am a transgender woman. I look like a woman, I think like a woman, I have the hormones of a woman, I have experienced the misogyny that women experience, I have used women’s washrooms and change rooms and other spaces for a decade at this point without issue, I have used these spaces along side cis women who knew that I am trans and cis women who didn’t know. There has never been an issue because I am a woman who uses those spaces like any other. I have been socialized like a woman, I feel like a woman, I identify as a woman.
Am I a woman?
Please stop dodging the question. It’s a simple yes or no question that is fundamental to the discussion of trans people’s right to live as they are equally to cis people of the same gender.
The vast majority of science going back to pre-WWII says the answer is yes.
Evidence through link.
Knowing now that the scientific consensus is yes, do you believe that trans women are women?
You didn’t answer the question. Do you believe that trans women are women, yes or no ?
Ok so the question I replied to was essentially is it safe for kids under 18. The answer is yes.
In terms of consent. Kids cannot just consent and then be given HRT. Parents of kids cannot just consent and then have their kids put on HRT. Doctors cannot just consent and put kids on HRT.
There is a process in which kids are thoroughly assessed and then with parental consent put on puberty blockers for 1-2 years maximum. Puberty blockers are not HRT to be clear. They are also safe and the kids are monitored by doctors and have regular check ups and psychiatric evaluations. If the children persist by the end of the 1-2 year observation period they are then, with consent from all parties put onto HRT.
The whole process is very thorough to ensure that kids who aren’t actually trans don’t get put on HRT. Consent by the parents, kids and doctors is required throughout the entire process.
This isn’t simple self report and get medicated it is a very thorough process.
Please do a basic google search. This info isn’t difficult to find.
