So you just want to spread knowledge? Again, why not focus on the issues of informed consent and regret rates of the hundreds of medical interventions that are talked about much less? Why do you focus on the one intervention that’s doing the best in those areas, and that is already talked about every day?
Because this post is about trans care. There are certain online ethics that kinda prohibit hijacking of posts. One of the 10k today?
How very strange and unexpected that, even though you are very interested in informing people about regret rates and informed consent of medical interventions, you’ve only chosen to actually do so for one of the least problematic interventions following your criteria. I wonder why?
Are you that desperate to be a victim? You’d accuse others, very rudely, without any proof, just so you can play a game of gotcha?
In another post I have mentioned having over 2 decades of experience with troubled youth and young adults. You might find the comment, you might not, I tend to delete comments often.
In my line of work suicide of those we aim to help is a very real possibility. During those years we have lost 11 transitioned young people who explicitly mentioned their new body being a large part of the reason why they took that drastic step. They are not found in the statistics linked in this thread. Other factors did play a part, true. But those are the ones that explicitly mentioned it. A few of those mentioned explicitly how they felt under informed about the negative possibilities. They were mostly told, by people like you, online and in other trans communities, that life will be much better afterwards. Medical professionals downplayed the medical risks, complications, pain, discomfort. Oh they were mentioned, but downplayed.
The worst thing I could wish upon you: may you be treated how you treat others.
