So, like I said to Jiggy, I'm not really interested in talking mass cross-country medical conspiracy theories to exploit trans folk. We're into fantasy land and I'm not playing.
dude. why are you trying so hard to attribute thoughts to me that i didn't express. what the hell are you even talking about. get a grip man.
i never said it's obvious that not transitioning is the best medical course of action. said i don't know what the best treatment is. i said i personally don't think transitioning is the best idea (my opinion). and i said that the evidence is not at all clear that transitioning is the best course of action. the jury is still very much out.
it makes complete sense why transitions are now widely offered in today's litigious society and when transgenderism is couched in sexism and discrimination accusations. doctors today are basically hostages of their patients and if they deny certain care they can be sued.

Right, so some freedoms have to be curtailed to protect other freedoms because individuals will often have competing goals. So don't just say you're in favour of all freedom when that's patently not the case. It's just silly talk.
this is such a dishonest argument, calling killing and eating someone freedom. just shut the hell up you liar. quit lying and gain some principles.
