@kurisu@iscute.moe imagine letting people discover themselves on their own time this post made my egg cracking gang

@pagefault @kurisu the :woke: move is not pushing someone to it, but sitting back and saying "I'll see you 6 months from now when you come out"

i did this to someone on fedi and at the time they were ADAMANT that they weren't trans annddd here we are, 6 months later
@nik @pagefault @kurisu Transgender isn't even real. It's a malicious fad being pushed by the media on two generations of youth that have been on psychoactive drugs since elementary school because parenting was too hard for GenX.

Why do people with gender dysphoria have brain activity similar to the gender they think they are?
@pagefault @nik @kurisu

@matrix @kurisu @nik @pagefault Hormones. They've done studies on rats where changing their hormones will change behavior and brain activity to match the sex that produces those hormones.

@Ricotta
Yeah, hormones have a fairly big effect on your brain behavior and brain development.
But you have little kids exhibiting signs of gender dysphoria. It could be because errors during prenatal development.
@kurisu @nik @pagefault

@matrix @Ricotta
There are multiple problems with giving kids hormones opposite their sex. The least of which being most of them grow out of it during puberty - in otherwords that biological process tends to correct the issue most of the time. Most medical experts do not advise hormone treatment for pre-pubertal gender-dysphoria not only because of this, but because of potential long term developmental damage.

There are also many diseases that FtM Trans take testosterone, the least of which is not huge increases in the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases. MtF Trans have huge increases in the risks of various cancers.
It's all around not a healthy decision to imbalance your hormones and the best solutions long term would involve prenatal screenings and methods to correct the development of these issues prior to birth and techniques that do not involve further in-balancing your endocrine system.

@matrix @pagefault @nik @kurisu It's not errors during development, it's abusive parents forcing bullshit on them.
@matrix @Ricotta @pagefault @nik @kurisu Note that gays also tend to have brain activity similar to the opposite sex, and most desistance involves people no longer wanting to be trans and just winding up being gay instead. Also these studies don't control for sexual orientation, so autogynephiliacs are lumped in with fembois even though they're likely an exception to this.
