Do we suspect that a person who transitioned from one gender to the other is so unable to imagine transitioning back that they'd commit suicide? Maybe in a world where people are so transphobic that they accuse them of just switching gender willy-nilly to gain advantage.

The solution isn't to block trans kids from transitioning. The solution to openly discuss gender and support people who are questioning their gender in the fullest way possible.

Should we lop off the dicks of 6 year olds who like to wear dresses? No, but that was really only a problem in one anecdotal story and Bi's nightmares in the first place.

We made up the concept of gender, so we can unmake it.

Lol

Do you think surgical transition is reversible? Too broad (lol)... Do you think mastectomies are reversible? Even more basic, do you think a teenager can undo years of puberty blockers?

Why dont you try the search feature and find a post where anyone has stated something other than this. Really, this is basically what all of the folks you are implying are transphobic are saying, the issue is that you seem hell bent limiting what the concept of support entails by restricting it to affirmation based care instead of a more holistic mental health approach that includes discussions of gender identity.

Yep but I’m still waiting for someone to answer my question from a while back: In high school why did they allow girls to wrestle on the boys team but wouldn’t let boys play volleyball on the girls team?

there was already a boys volleyball team?

Nope. Title IX my dude. Same number of sports teams for each. Boys got wrestling, girls got volleyball. Both had soccer, basketball, etc.

Yeah that doesn’t make sense. But as a little guy, weren’t you worried about getting stuffed by a taller girl?

Lol if they let boys play on the girls volleyball team very quickly the team would be all boys.

Mastectomies, no, but plenty of women have small or nearly no breasts. Puberty blockers, yes. Or, at least the Mayo Clinic thinks so. Do I think kids under 18 can consent to these things without the consultation and permission of parents and trained medical professionals, no.

Because there are already all types of women. We're so worried about trans women competing in sports they've blocked Sydney McLaughlin from competing in events. If you ban trans women, how do you treat women born XY with internal testes who were raised as women? Or women with unusually high testosterone? We made up the concept of gender, so we can unmake it.

Maybe in the future utopia where trans women are so well accepted into society that we've welcomed them into all women's sports, and they've cornered all of the records, we could probably revisit our decision.

I think this arguments ignores what others see. Again, I don’t watch swimming and could give a F about the sport. But that woman transitioned at 21 (I think?), had already been competing against men… and then transitioned and beat the other women by a lot. And let me remind you the other competitors seemed to protest her win.

I don’t know the answer here, but this isn’t the gay movement. There’s a much thicker layer here revolving around gender, and it’s an issue that needs to be talked out.

I know she’s not great and dominate in general, but that race that put her on the news saw her win by a lot, unless my memory is failing (might be). And hey, maybe you guys are right, and this a transition period in general, and it’ll all work out. Still don’t understand why these questions would surprise anyone, and I don’t think they’re dumb questions.

I don't know which race "put her in the news," but I imagine it's the NCAA championship meet (the one that Ron DeSantis got all mad about). She only won one NCAA championship race (500 Free), where she won by less than a second, and was almost ten seconds off the NCAA record. She lost a number of other races at that meet. This is all google-able information. If you're under the impression that she "dominated women's sports," it's just not true.

It's this one:
