During a debate on transgender care for minors on the House floor in January 2024, May argued that: “We as legislators have an obligation to ensure that our children have no harm done to them.”
It's always projection with them. It happens so frequently that I'm no longer surprised by these sorts of stories, and why I'm always on-guard whenever I hear a conservative suggest policies around children.
Every single statement they have made about the topic should be admissible as evidence to be used against them in court during sentencing. Every single time they have suggested stricter punishments should be compiled into a list and tacked onto their sentence.
Thats an insane model of how trans medicine works pushed by fascists. You don't know what you're talking about.
And you get hormones no matter what, unless you take puberty blockers. The issue with trans kids is that their bodies make the wrong ones for them. They always regret it. Many kill themselves over it.
"Trans kids should have to overcome a bunch of hurdles to access necessary treatment" doesn't sound that supportive to me.
Calling the natural variety of combinations of gender and sex "a mental disorder" doesn't strike me as particularly supportive either. Do you consider homosexuality to be a mental disorder?
Historically, the gay community endured widespread social condemnation, often framed in the language of deviance, mental illness, and a threat to societal norms.
Homosexuality was classified as a psychiatric disorder by the American Psychiatric Association until 1973. This pathologization served as a justification for discrimination in employment, housing, and public life.
You have to be purposely blind to miss the parallels with the struggles and pains that trans people face today
Now you're cool with gay people, but remember how up until quite recently, not even medical professionals accepted it? Because you're on the wrong side of the fence when it comes to trans people, you just haven't caught up.
These seem like they are the opinions someone who has no lived experience to back up their views, but I’ll just stick to pointing out that WHO don’t consider transsexuality as a mental order - so you need to preface your statement with “it is my opinion…” That way we can all think to ourselves “who gives a fuck about this guys stupid opinion” and scroll on.
I'm talking about the fact that trans people are at an extreme risk in this current administration. I'm talking about the fact that I said that trans people need to hunker down and hide because the government literally wants to exterminate them.
I'm talking about you arguing against this because you think that trans people rising up will change things. But if trans people listened to you, they'll die.
You're literally advocating for the death of most trans people.
Edit: I might have fucked up and thought you were another person arguing that trans people should martyr themselves instead of hiding.
You think there were people pretending to be gay because it was trendy?
If that’s how your brain works I guess you’re bi? Attraction is physical, no?
Body dysmorphia is a symptom of the underlying condition which IMO are yet unclassified forms of NCAH. It’s not a delusion or a mental disorder or whatever the fuck you’re inferring with your vile rhetoric. Their developing brains in the womb are exposed to spiking cortisol, low basal cortisol, high androgens and female hormones. This is why they’re often bendy and autistic too. (And all the other things in this cluster - hyperactive, hypersensitive, hyper-reactive, hypermobile & immunological)
To me, that's a very interesting detail. It makes me speculate.
Maybe he thought he was being clever by using a "democrat" username, because it would make him invisible amongst the hordes of demonrat child abusers? Maybe he could even point at his own account at some point and say: see, they're all pedos? Or maybe it even helped him to suppress his guilt, because "a democrat did it"?
