It's not anti-trans to be concerned about this, it is pro-child to ensure children with gender dysphoria get the proper treatment (which might end up being blockers).
Tavistock was my GIC lmao

treated me brilliantly but like all of them, also made me jump through varied hoops to recieve care; there's definitely some sensationalist fearmongering here

Your percentages are wrong here, there's way more fucking teenagers in America.
His decimal point is just in the wrong place. If the percentage of trans kids was 8%, the world would probably be very different.

It's 0.8%.
B is correct, I wrote the wrong number.

Being that far off with a statistic is a banable offense.

Though I agree *shudder* with bi_3. The idea that only 5 of the 300k trans teenagers play sports is obviously not true.

No, B is right. We can just hand wave away any potential conflicts between rights based on immutable characteristics and those that want to extend those rights based on self ID.

It wasn't my claim. That's the number put forth by Save Women's Sports.

My opinion is, if you formed a foundation to solve this societal evil, maybe you should be able to show more than 5 occurrences nationwide, or you can just fuck right off.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Thus I'm not triggered by the imagery of a beheaded snake. 8-)

Fair point. "Aroused" and "triggered" are not the same.

I have many mixed thoughts on this topic, but I do agree with B here.
