That was disturbing news to Angelica Jadunandan, who moved to New York from Florida with her two young daughters three years ago. Her older daughter, who is eight, is transgender, and Angelica wanted to move them to a safe blue state—somewhere her family’s medical care would not be called into question. New York is a self-declared “sanctuary state” for trans people. It seemed like a good option.
Man, I really thought this place would have more thoughtful discussion than Reddit. There’s nuance to everything and we’re all trying to understand each others human experience. It looks like mine is vastly different from yours, but that’s alright.
Edit: Oh I see this is your main topic you post about, it probably affects you deeply. Sorry if I rubbed you the wrong way!
Buddy, this isn’t “thoughtful discussion” this is the same transphobic bullshit we hear day in and day out. It’s been debunked so many times you don’t deserve a discussion, you deserve to be pelted with eggs and tomatoes until you get your clown ass of the stage
Transgender people’s existence isn’t up for debate.
Its not transphobic to question the science and statistics that are thrown around constantly. Somehow everyone’s supposed to believe this is the one single medical field that’s entirely solved, and the statistics are infallible.
It doesnt add up, and when people ask questions they get hated out, banned, and comments removed.
That makes this an echo chamber, not a place for discussion. Lemmy is not the place to debate this issue in any healthy way.
You’re right, it’s not. Leave. Go play in traffic. Nobody wants you here.
Great demonstration of good mental health there.
Yes, this is exactly how you get people to convert to your side! /s
I’m not going to let you poison my opinion of trans folks, but you’re not doing them any favors right now. Go take a deep breath, friend.
