What the fuck? I'm autistic and I knew at 15 that something was up with my gender. This is a monstrous opinion.

- suddenclarity 4y agoOn the contrary, it's becoming common among doctors to make a 180 on the subject. It was a major scandal in Sweden last year when several who had transitioned went to the news and attacked the doctors for allowing them to go through with it. As a result, transition at a young age seem to have been stopped. Because the science is lacking, it's heavily associated with health issues, you'll need treatment for the rest of your life and you can't go back.
- howinteresting 4y agoSweden is a white ethnostate that did forced sterilization of trans people until 2013, so it is unsurprising that it has center-right views on transitioning. I know some trans teens who left Sweden and moved to the US over the medical protocols there. It's far more important that someone resolve their gender dysphoria than concerns like needing lifelong treatment. Plenty of political detransitioners are still dysphoric, they've just chosen alternative treatment modalities that we know lead to less happiness (which is fine as an individual decision, it's just bad to set public policy based on that).
