Levels of Satisfaction and Regret With Gender-Affirming Medical Care in Adolescence

We have also known that detransition is largely caused by external factors, not “turning out not to be trans”:

Factors Leading to “Detransition” Among Transgender and Gender Diverse People in the United States: A Mixed-Methods Analysis

Edit: I really don’t know why this comment looks so broken in Photon. It looks fine on the default Lemmy UI.

Yeah, I find the first one much better than the second one as well. “What about the cis kids who will become trans??” is really much worse than using slurs, as the idea that gender identity/sexual orientation can be changed by external factors is pretty much the basis of conversion therapy.

And people advocating for more regulation often don’t support actual medical consensus like the WPATH SoC. They usually support some shit like “No GAC under 25, and I don’t care if that’ll make children kill themselves.”.

I’d much rather get called a tranny or some other childish slur rather than have some jackass put up a respectful facade while fighting to take away medical care from me.

Nah, it’s fine.

I thought it was about age verification laws 😭

That would require an upskirt picture.

The only party that is actively aggressively campaigning for trans rights is DEM right now lmao. CHP has up to this point been completely quiet on trans issues (except for 1 MP I forgot the name of, who is also seen as a “terror sympathizer” by the public), and YENİ just recently published the statement that “Nobody will face discrimination for their sexual orientation/gender identity”, which is kinda the bare minimum ngl.

If YENİ comes to power, I’d guess at most we will get rid of the 21 year old age limit Erdogan put. We definitely aren’t getting the WPATH SoC though, especially with some “opposition” parties like İYİ who are conservative anti-LGBTQ Kemalists that broke off from a literal neofascist party, and who will surely side against us when push comes to shove.

Well, I hope Kilicdaroglu fucking drops out already so at the very least we can have that.

I don’t think Erdogan is going for a 4th term tbh, but we will probably get another islamist far-righter. AKP is also trying very hard to make GAC only available for people over 25, and Climen production suspiciously stopped like a few months ago.

they already won by getting a platform to debate in the first place

They certainly didn’t. The reason why we are in this position in the first place is that the scientific community has ignored these charlatans for so long. Science communicators like Professor Dave actively working to dismantle the talking points of these figures works to at least make it possible for science-minded people to be able to defend their ideas more easily, make it so that people unsure about these topics stop considering conspiratorial views, and just maybe make people deep in the conspiracy theory at least be unable to sleep at night thinking about what they’ve heard. This stuff does actually help people.

Their ideas do not deserve the respect of being on an equal stage with the scientific consensus.

Yes, that’s why they should get humiliated publicly in exchanges like this.

You’re missing out honestly, it was absolutely amazing. They got probably the best people they could get for the scientific side.

And I think this is the clip you’re talking about:

This clip is also legendary. It was so awesome to see such a huge piece of shit get exposed directly to his face:

When you say ban stuff from abroad, you mean they search packages coming from abroad?

Sorry, it turns out that what I had heard before was exaggerated. It seems that they used to tax stuff you bought from abroad only if it passed 30 euros, but now they’re doing it for anything you buy, even if it costs like a dollar, and the taxation rates are pretty bad (30% for products from the EU, 60% for other countries, and an additional 20% for electronics, personal care products etc.). I could try it I guess but I would really need to save money for it.

Also in Turkey you can get estradiol over the counter? Without a prescription? That sounds really cool!

Yup! That is pretty nice c:

Androcur is 1800TRY (~40USD) in my country and it would take me some saving up just to spend that much lol. Another reason I can’t get vials is my country has effectively banned getting anything from abroad.

My current intention is to just test out its effects for a month or so, using OTC estradiol meds which are pretty cheap (Climen is 75TRY but Turkey is seeing a supply shortage of it for some reason, and Cyclo-Progynova is 150TRY but it seems I can only use half a package of it because of norgestrel). I don’t think that monotherapy is possible with these 🙁

She already had a private pilot license but was required to build up flying hours with an instructor it seems. The article still refers to her as a student.

I read that as Stephen Meyer and was really confused for a second…

I think the license just doesn’t allow that, but I may be wrong.

You need to pay Anubis to be able to set a custom logo AFAIK.

Did you follow a specific guide/tutorial for it? I’m also planning on doing it but kinda scared that I’ll mess it up.
