@chjara@kaia@aven@ageha i bet regret for knee surgery is higher because people aren't subjected to incredible social and media pressure and personal regret to deny that their knee surgery went badly
@chjara@kaia@Moon@ageha Is conversion therapy not wrong? Most of what he's talking about is that: child mutilation and abuse to force a child to fit a gender mold decided by the parent. It's similar to "beating the gay out of your kid". It's fucked up and wrong and illegal.
Transitioning surgery does not help trans people, in fact on average it hurts them. This was decided by Johns Hopkins. It increases suicide rate and frequently the trans person ends up regretting and wanting to de-transition, or kills themselves. Vulnerable people are lured and groomed into a huge life decision that they usually regret.
No part of that says that "trans people suck" or that it's "evil" to be trans.
@aven@kaia@Moon@ageha no, he's very clearly, as in literally saying it, you can hear it with your own ears, that he wants to blanket ban gender transition directly for minors and by making it practically impossible in general also, what the hell are you talking about, no one is being coerced into being trans, and even gender affirming surgery, which is only one, non-universal procedure, has an extremely low regret rate. knee surgery has a higher regret rate sure, he's not directly saying "i hate trans people", instead he's saying "i don't think trans people should be allowed to exist", which is the same thing
