Logic really is not your strong suit is it?

It's not my equation.

I wasn't talking about the equation.

I am mainly concerned about how the long-term physical issues will be handled (will medical insurance continue to cover their health care needs, etc., for those who need medical insurance), and how will mental health support be catered for.

Oh, yeah absolutely. And not to mention the headache regarding the legal side of things too, for instance, having to re-amend official documents and records.

Facts, logic, humour, critical thinking not widely known amongst the TRA. Narcissism however. Just look at DU and IW with their claims to be female. Has no one told them sex is not real so they cant be female 😂😂😂😂

Re-writing history to make it look like trans people have 'always been there' is unacceptable.

An egregious example was the 2023 photoshopping onto a photo of the first open lesbian and gay demonstration in Ireland in 1983, of a pro-trans slogan.
The trans activists did not even respect the fact that the demonstration was in response to the murder of a gay man - anything was fair game to claim trans people were a part of lesbian and gay communities in the 1980s.

False narratives 'transing' the Stonewall Riots in NYC in 1969 are another example of this re-writing of lesbian and gay history.

Who is this "we" all of a sudden?

Yes, and, especially in the US, having to try to manage your legal status state-to-state, as states have different laws. I worry about how limiting this is for my family member, restricting job opportunities, etc., if one state accepts detransitioning, but another doesn't (or, for example, restricts access to healthcare or even employment depending on how one "legally identifies").

There's so much that correlates with political boundaries. It's hard enough for those who have transitioned, and I wonder how difficult it will be for those who detransition. I would like more of these clinics to be established, and link up with administrative support as well. Perhaps they will, but I think this one in Texas is focused on the healthcare side of things.

Who is rewriting history. I lived my life. I know where I was in the 1980s. I've met trans women who followed a similar transition path to mine in the 1970s and 1960s.

You can drop your indignation and claims that trans people are rewriting history on top of my post all you wish, but it doesn't rewrite my experience.

In most cases it’s entirely possible to hazard a guess at someone’s likely gametes. And be 100% sure for those of us with kids. You’re fooling yourself if you think it’s mostly not obvious - although as you seem to be abnormally short for a male I’ll need to caveat that

is “sex realist” also a straw man?

'we' is FWR. This is not the first time all of this has been discussed on this website. It all seems part of the goal to discourage participation of outsiders by diverting focus to passive-aggressive meta-discussions.

Im guessing he didnt start bleeding from his genitals during an English lesson and if he did, the teacher would have called an ambulance.

Oh, it is absolutely mostly obvious what sex people are. I've never said it isn't.

I believe people are at best able to guess someone's sex 99.5% (for some value of not always) of the time and accurate possession/production of functional gametes 90-95% (for some value of reproductive ability is not always present) of the time.

I suppose it is as much as 'Trans Identified-' is.

Does anyone on here understand the US medical insurance system?

It appears that many children are included under their parents insurance cover until 25/26 and I often see people online trying to get surgery whilst still on their parents cover.

If someone had surgery at say 25 using their parents cover and then wish to detransition (or have complications) when they are no longer on the parents insurance how easy would it be for them to get medical insurance which covers the detransition (or complications )

If they have aged out of their parents' insurance, they would need to find new coverage either from the state or via employment/student programs.

New insurance would be required for 'detransition' healthcare, which is effectively the same as transition healthcare but with different psychological support requirements maybe, depending on the 'cause' of detransition.

I don't know/remember if there is any inherent obligation to cure complications under original insurance, but morally I would hope there to be.

eta: also, not all detransitioners wish to return to their original 'sex.' Some non-binary people stop transition healthcare at some point where they feel their bodies reflect a state that is comfortable to them.

The ease of getting insurance depends on many things: yes, your age is one of them.. There are ways around turning 26 and having to come off your parents' policy, but this again varies by policy, provider, in-service or out-of-service, and state by state.. It's a minefield.

I'm not sure most providers have even scratched the surface of what they would or would not include, or even if they would accept someone with long-term health issues due to transitioning and then detransitioning. Supposedly, Obama Care, as it used to be called, requires states to provide health insurance even if you have pre-existing conditions, but I doubt they've even gotten that far with detransitioners. It will probably be hashed out in court once the detransitioners all hit 26.

You said: "We were forbidden from entering the 'men only' spaces like back rooms, strip bars and bath houses."

I assumed you meant trans women, by "we".

Just to add: no one really ever understands the US healthcare system. All you need to know is that you will be expected to be employed the rest of your life (so you can be on your employer's insurance plan), or pay literally your arm and your leg for a private policy which may or may not pay for what you need when you need it. And you still have to pay your co-pays and for your prescriptions.

Depending on your plan.

Which no one will ever explain properly.

Yes, in that context 'we' was the trans women I knew who were in the very tiny trans community on the periphery of the gay community in the city I transitioned.

And when I say 'trans community' I am talking about the trans women I saw in the bars week after week and the gay and lesbian youth group at the community centre.

Even a broken clock tells the right time twice a day. I don’t agree with the MAGA principles, but I know humans can’t change sex and young ‘trans’ people need mental health help and support not surgery and drugs.

“Threads like this are so revealing. If you were genuinely concerned about the physical impact of transition, you think you'd be pleased to discover the risks are not as terrible as you imagined. But instead you want to cling to that idea of risk, because none of this is actually about compassion or concern, it's about your ideological opposition to the existence of trans people, and all you actually want is for the evidence to tell you what you already believe.”

The physical impact of removing healthy organs and emotional impact of not getting the right mental health support for dysphoria is enough damage.

Sex has been manifested outside of the body across millennia.

Do you mean behaviours and "dress codes" that we stereotypically associate with people's sex?

If so, I agree. These have changed over time and vary between cultures around the world.

Obviously lots of people don't follow them, but they still exist as stereotypes.

I'm talking about the perception of sex. Different than clothing stereotypes, though they are significant.

The physical impact of removing healthy organs and emotional impact of not getting the right mental health support for dysphoria is enough damage.

Yes, THIS. All day.

What is a perception of someone's sex, if it's not related to clothing (or other) stereotypes?
