• Bigotry includes but is not limited to: ableism, casteism, homophobia, lookism, queerphobia, racism, sexism, transphobia, and xenophobia. Bigotry towards non-binary people is transphobia. Truscum rhetoric is also bigotry. You getting punished for your hateful opinion, however, is not bigotry.
• This includes both advertising and breaking your or my Lemmy instance's rules, such as vote manipulation or brigading.
• Try to stay away from negative political events too. You can joke about it, but bringing attention to something bad happening in the world might take someone out of their comfort zone— this is an escape from the constant news cycle for some.
• Selfies are not memes! This is not a community for selfies. Picrews and other character creations such as Sims and Mii's are considered bandwagoning, and perhaps can be a part of a different community.
• This is an all ages community, so we prefer it if you take the NSFW stuff to one of the more adult oriented communities. Note: nudity is not allowed, we want everybody to be comfortable here.
• We want everybody to feel safe and comfortable here, so even if you want to reclaim a pejorative word that applies to you— we ask that you don't, as this is a light-hearted community and others stumbling across your post might feel unsafe.
• If something breaks these rules, or this Lemmy instance's rules, please report it.
• Bigots like those do not deserve any attention. Any post or comment linking to a hate community or forum will be removed
• Be nice, and don't create social chaos. That's it. Pretty simple, huh?
• For example, a meme about the non-binary experience could have a title like this: "[NB] Story of my life!" This will make searching for content much easier.
• This includes the country you live in as well as the country your instance is hosted in
• Trans memes specifically about being closeted, unaware or in denial
• Ordinary memes, but the community is very trans-accepting— and it only has one rule: when you encounter the page you must post a meme from your camera roll
This further proves the case that this post was talking about https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/14003044
There are more regrets regarding knee surgeries than there are for gender transitions, statistically speaking. Not to mention that detransitions are often a result of the transphobia present in our society.
Also some of the detransitioners face a lot of ostracism from their communities and are being threatened to “stay in line or else” to push the anti-trans message.
Nevermind surgeries, it's hard to find anything with a <1% regret rate
This isn't even mentioning how incredibly difficult it is to be transitioning in the regions outside North America, Western Europe and Oceania. We don't need this kind of talk anywhere.
Agreed, I wish they'd stop with this whole discourse. Just let me fucking take estrogen. I've been waiting months and talking to a therapist, if I don't get it by march I'd doing DIY. I encourage others to join me, no more shit, no more games. Just Do It.
Idk. There have been cases where people have regretted having the treatment. They are few compared to the number of people who think that the treatment was the best thing they ever did, but they do exist. I guess that being trans might cause some effects, like people being mean and bigoted or just the stress of knowing that you don’t fit in to what society seem to expect you to. I think prioritizing mental support through therapy might be a good start before the physical treatment. It will be good for both those that would regret the treatment but also for those that will get all sorts of weird interactions with others during the transition.
Is this the comment you're talking about?
This case-note retrospective has a higher rate of detransitioning than you have claimed here, though the sample size was smaller than would be ideal. The ‘under 1%’ claim is chucked around a bit in media but I have yet to see a solid source for that claim.
I would be interested in reading other studies on this.
The <1% detransition is from people that find out they were wrong about being trans/their gender. This excludes reasons like assholes pressuring them into detransitioning, assholes not supporting them or asshole governments stopping their treatment for example. Does this study account for that?
