In any case, how the fuck do you get more “held accountable” than “my genitals are mangled and my crotch leaks pee constantly and this will not get better for the rest of my life”? Does he need to wear a special hat or something?
Many humans are vulnerable to manipulation, whether due to mental illness or youth or developmental problems or plain stupidity. As a society we are responsible for protecting those people from people who would take advantage of that. I would rather live in a world where even retards and idiots are protected from doctors chopping their dicks off for profit. If that makes me a pussy then so be it.
Fwiw I pretty much agree, but I also think it isn't as cut and dried as
innocent loony troons vs greedy maniacal *jew cartoon* doctors."
There are bloodthirsty heartless mfers making bank off this, to be sure. But there are also plenty of trans who work very hard to normalize it and attack people and ruin their livelihoods if they disagree. Cult members recruit, too. Do they get a pass because it's probably part of the cope? What if they're malignant narcissists? Etc.
And not all the docs are sociopathic butchers, I'm sure there are plenty of misguided lib moron family docs who truly believe prescribing hormones with zero "gatekeeping" (one step typically along the path to SRS) will "save lives."
Anyway, I can only speak for myself, but by urging detransitioners to be accountable, I primarily mean to
themselves and when telling their own story, for the sake of healing and not being full of shit. They did make choices. Maybe those choices were influenced by X, motivated by Y, or they aren't fully to blame because of Z, but they did make choices. And more importantly, they surely urged others to do the same. Facing up to that is how they can make better choices moving forward instead of running off and joining the Hare Krishnas or LaRouche or something.
I lean on the side of putting the blame on the doctors, but what is it these assholes are always saying? "It's not a binary, it's a spectrum."
