The trans debate

[tuffers#1]

You're probably right, but I would not want to tell someone they are in the 'wrong' body. We don't medically treat gay people so why trans? I prefer the path of acceptance.

Isnt it trans people who tell others they
are in the wrong body ?

[Sid Bishop]

Sid absolutely embarrassing PW on this thread

Oh please. I might rename his account Uncle Albert. "During the war..."

I doubt very much that Uncle Albert would be interested in the subject of Transsexual people.
Obvious but I was not in WW2 or in fact in any war. I am also am very anti going to any of the wars of recent times. Also only been in a boat the once, a ferry to the Isle of Wight !

What’s gay people got to do with trans people?

[Long slender neck]

You're not comparing apples with apples. You're a smart bloke, think it though. Hint: who wants what.

[Long slender neck]

I'm aware of that. Its just an example, the treatment would not be ethical would it?

[Mick McQuaid]

So you're aware your example isn't relevant but you'll stick with it. Good stuff.

What about women who have post mastectomy breast reconstruction, should they just accept their lot? Or people with aromatase deficiency which means they can't produce estrogen?

[Long slender neck]

Theres lots of examples yes. Its where you draw the line.

[Mick McQuaid]

So, to summarise. You think, despite your admitted lack of knowledge, that you are better placed than a person with direct experience to decide what treatment they can and can't have, there is a line somewhere on what treatment is acceptable but you can't say where it is.

[Long slender neck]

I think they should not use puberty blocker drugs on children.

[Adz]

I think they should not use puberty blocker drugs on children.

I think I'd have to spend time with kids in this situation to form an opinion. There doesn't seem to be much research on it. Certainly none of sufficient depth and quality that I can find.

Who else would they use them on?

It's like trying to reason with that bloke down the pub who sits on his own cos everyone avoids him. He always knows best, although he's not sure what he knows.

Are the personal attacks really necessary?

[Rich Tea Wellin]

This thread, and some of the posts, as completely embarrassing.

Do you really take that as a personal attack? Seriously?

[Long slender neck]

Tell me what it is then. Do you see me making remarks about you?

[ContrifibulatoryFred]

This MB seems impressively clear of massive terfs
