Anyways, I told you the facts. I'm not going to change the minds of any one on a meme site, cya.

I didn't say SRS is vital. It can be for some, but there are also trans people who don't need it. Trans people who don't get treated eventually commit suicide due to the escalation of their brain giving an error signal that can only be fixed through treatment. A whole host of mental effect spew forth including one of the biggest killers in America: depression. Depression is as real a deadly injury as internal bleeding or cancer is. And the only way to cure this depression is through treatment. Not all trans people need SRS. Only 30% even get it if my memory is certain. But if a trans person goes untreated, they are almost certain to die. This treatment can go in many variants such as HRT, SRS, social transition, and any and all combinations. Being trans is slowly bleeding to death. If you don't get treatment, you're going to bleed out.

People seem to conflate being trans with the newest trend. Like getting a tattoo about candy crush. It's something that is very serious. It's been shown that the "Live like a woman before taking hormones" is just a shaming technique that people do to try to stop them from taking hormones. It isn't being depressed. If you are trans, then you will never "get over it". It's as real as missing a limb. You don't recover from being trans.

As for not being necessary... No. If you would call going to the hospital for internal bleeding necessary, then you should agree that getting HRT for being trans is too. A trans person isn't just feeling like a woman/man. Their brain actually is different than their body. Their brain is receiving the wrong hormones that causes the entire thing to "freak out". Simply having the proper hormones in their body can make them revert to having a healthy mental state. They are still trans and will always be trans. It's not a phase.

@serosenpai you don't seem to understand what SRS does. It's not splitting your dick. It's an actual pussy. It gets wet, it has orgasms, it looks like a normal pussy, and is a normal pussy. Trans women like this are the "pinnacle". These are the women you can date for years and never know they are trans. The only real evidence is them taking some pills (It doesn't have to be pills and can be an injection or something like a band-aid.)

15 is a young age, I agree. But this is just a technicality. 15 is around the age where they would be able to consent to taking hormones which is to my knowledge a requirement before having Sexual Reassignment Surgery (SRS). HRT takes around two years for its full effects to finalize although the hormones will need to be taken permanently. Prior to taking HRT, there will be something known as a puberty blocker. It merely delays puberty until the time you stop taking the pill. It has no permanent effects, and puberty will begin as normal after you stop taking the pill. It's simply to allow the child to not have to deal with the horror of having the wrong puberty. HRT(Hormone Replacement Therapy) is just giving a person someone the correct gender's puberty.

If the child is indeed trans, they can start the proper treatment once they reach an age where they can make mature decisions usually around 15-18. If they are not, then they just stop taking the pills. Puberty will begin as normal.

"Purely cosmetic. Mutilation your genitals is not a step in the direction of mental health." Ah, @guest...

1.) It's not cosmetic. It's a sometimes necessary procedure for that individual to have a sound mind.
2.) It's not the mutilation of genitals. You are using a too stern definition of mutilation which includes the removal of any body part. That does include genitals. It also includes getting a haircut and trimming your fingernails. As stated before, this is almost always a medically necessary procedure. This is also done by trained professionals that genuinely care about the wellbeing of the patient which cannot be said of FGM or MGM.
3.) This isn't a step towards sound mental health, I agree. It's a big ass leap.

SRS is perfectly acceptable procedure. I have a friend who just got a few snip snips and she is perfectly happy with her vajayjay. The vagina is exactly the same as a cis woman who simply didn't want to have kids anymore. And yes, it's fully fuctional: orgasm and all.

That can cost upwards of $400 just for the small area known as your face and that can take months to do.

Just going to say that we've never seen a single miracle in recorded history. Magic isn't real and a miracle is just what we call it when God does magic.

My atheist side is pointing out the contradiction of a religious education. Religion and reality are polar opposites. You can either have a religious education or you can learn about reality. One of the the words in "religious education" has to go.

My, my how the turns have tabled. I found you, grim!

I try to be nice to people in general and not doubt what they claim to be. But I know this one "Asexual" who is getting dicked down every week and is constantly talking about sex. I don't want to say she is just lying for attention, but... Asexuals tend to find sex as appealing as a straight man finds gay sex appealing to my knowledge.

I'll be sure to pay a visit ASAP

Doesn't work. I have a 25 hour sleep cycle that forces me awake whenever the time I would normally sleep hits. Schedules never worked for me.

It's important to note though. We are amazing, but we are amazing even with our flaws.

Sorry, I was talking to someone else
