They keep talking about laws being passed to kill off trans people but...where? Unless they consider HRT and childhood transition bans to be murder.
They do. They believe that someone is very nearly guaranteed to commit suicide if they're denied the ability to transition medically, which just isn't true. For one thing, that notorious 41% statistic is just for ideation, not for attempts, an certainly not for actual deaths. This sucidical ideation is actually caused by underlying mental illnesses, many of which are known to cause delusions and crises of identity that could be misidentified as "gender dysphoria." Mental illnesses and personality disorders tend to "cluster," in patients; if you're afflicted by one, you likely have many because they tend to compound on each other. For instance, a person with autism may struggle to maintain relationships and acquire gainful employment, which can then cause depression.
Results are mixed and studies vary in their conclusions, but HRT has been found to reduce symptoms of depression in some patients. However, outcomes are not as rosy for people who undergo SRS; what little research has been done into the issue has indicated that SRS does not appreciably reduce one's risk of suicide. Basically, there isn't even a quality-of-life justification for performing it on adults, let alone teenagers. Also, I don't think that a modest reduction in depression is enough to justify the irreversible affects of giving people synthetic hormones that don't correlate to their bodies. MtFs screech about how testosterone permanently affects their bodies, and they're not wrong, but the effects aren't necessarily to their detriment; recall the case of Jazz Jennings, whose GRS was complicated by the micropenis he got from "skipping" puberty. Also, the absence of male puberty doesn't make them women, it makes them chemical castrati, hence the tendency among "youngshits," to look like pudgy overgrown children. Outcomes are even worse for FtMs, who are pretty much stuck with whatever effects testosterone has on their bodies, like premature balding, frog voices, enlarged clitorises, and a whole host of reproductive issues. They basically just damage their livers and give themselves the symptoms of severe PCOS. We need to dispel the myth that the effects of blockers and hormones in young children are "reversible." No, fucking up someone's endocrinary system at a crucial point in their body's development is not "reversible," and it's willfully ignorant to suggest otherwise.

" on their bio? I know it means "underage users don't interact" just wondering why a huge portion of they/thems have that, if it's prevalent enough I should add it to the Doucheblock blacklist to save me some headaches
