I would wonder what it was that I had done that would give the impression it was acceptable to approach me in ways that are generally considered unacceptable, yes. I think it's pretty arbitrary what sort of activities are considered acceptable or unacceptable, but what is most telling isn't what I think but what…

I think it's interesting that you assume I know nothing about this subject just because I disagree with you.

Yes, I am saying that many people get off on things specifically because they know they are degrading.

I advocate judging it from that position, yeah. I don't think the majority's position is grounds for forbidding people to do something (that is not physically harmful) but I think it is grounds for deciding a practice is dubious and a person is not being unreasonable if they view the practice as abhorrent.

I have a right to talk about anything that I have an opinion on and an interest in discussing. It is not necessary that I be an expert, and I doubt you are any more than I am. Who needs AUTHORITY to discuss things and when did that start? I have the audacity to think that I am a reasonably intelligent person with a…

I have heard plenty of people talking about starting hormones with the onset on puberty in cases when talking about trans children. That can still result in changes that are not fully reversible and effects that are not fully foreseeable.

If you went to the cops after they put you out at 13 then they would face being in jail for neglect for putting out their minor child. THey are responsible for you until you turn 18 whether they like it or not; it's the flipside of them being allowed to make so many of your decisions.

I don't think you're being facetious. I think that people have an amazing capacity for being unreliable narrators, so what they say ought to occasionally be taken with grains of salt if it's far from what's most likely.

I don't believe that, because I don't believe that kids have that kind of constancy. I think that it's perfectly likely that adults that are trans were kids invested in being the opposite gender, but I don't think the reverse is equally true.

Some of them are, like that Jazz kid. And if there is an expectation that people understand that this isn't something to be done to little kids playing dress-up, then there should be people condemning the parents of Jazz. All I saw on this site is people saying how great it is smaller and smaller children are being…

Like I said, the regret caused by the imperfection in medical methods is still a big deal. From what I've encountered that is the most likely cause of trans regret.

RAPE. Shit, do I have to spell everything out? In addition to that, lesser forms of sexual assault and harassment.

It means that I am living proof a kid can wish to do opposite gendered things and still not be trans. Myself, and the countless other people that wanted to be and do things as children that they don't feel an enduring need/want to be/do because a person's identity isn't solid as a child.

I don't agree with the statement that if a person doesn't find it degrading it isn't. I think that people's opinions matter, but it's not the end of the story. Plenty of people get off on being degraded in various ways, but I don't think someone getting off on something is an excuse to do that to them. If my partner…

Fuck yeah I'm negative about someone ejaculating on my face. No, there is no compromise about that. If what turns you on is degrading your sex partners, then you should expect your partners to be offended when you ask if you can degrade them. Most people find degradation offensive. I'm not even sure that facials…

There are many groups that are not gendered that can accept people without judgment. There is also a possibility of creating more spaces for such individuals. I don't see why the only options presented are "let them into female spaces or GTFO transphobe."

How would a parent tell the difference between a child that breaks gender norms and a trans child? And how sure are we that there is a difference?

Who says they are female for all intents and purposes? The girl in the video mentioned several times in her "quotes" that there are no requirements for proof. She said the documents say that their word and that of their parents is sufficient. That would mean there is no reason to think that male-identifying males with…

Kids demand all sorts of things, I think that's fairly meaningless. I demanded to be called David and announced that I intended to be a tree climber when I grow up. What'ya know, I'm not trans, and I'm not even a lesbian. I demanded to be allowed to leave school to join the circus when I saw someone do it in a movie.…

Basically you're describing the general pattern in which societies' ethics degrade as they degenerate. Sometimes it's good when things get more liberal, but often enough it's bad. It seems like we can never make a step forward without taking several backwards. Women finally get the right to have adult sexuality…
