          Jesus explicitly took food and copied it until everybody had enough fish and bread.

          And now the forces of Satan say you wouldn’t download fish and bread?

          Torrenting is literally holy work.

                Kind of imagining actual canned spiced ham when you said this. Like there’s just a very large loop constructed of reconstituted pig out there stinking up the countryside.

      They are also the ones who will point to their sixth grade biology class as proof that there are two genders.

        As a trans woman, the look on someone’s face when I said there were at least 9 variations on the 23rd pair is always priceless. It doesn’t matter if having one of those variations is irrelevant to being trans, it shuts down their sixth grade understanding of biology and sex determination.

        Yes I had the discussion with someone who I thought was better than this today.

      And their imaginary friends are unlikely to challenge their biases or present new evidence.

    There’s such a small risk of regret after taking hrt medication or undergoing surgery that it must be medically advisable to support trans care.

    You’re not going to believe this, but apparently people understand their own gender better than random, self-centered bigots.

      Even more than that, gender affirming care has been shown to be highly effective. Its efficacy rate is among the highest for any treatment for any condition. And as far as HRT goes, very few downsides or side effects. It’s why HRT is an approved treatment for a variety of issues in cis patients as well.

      I heard somewhere that the regret rate for sex reassignment surgery is even lower than the failure rate of the surgery itself. The regret rate is lower than the regret rate for Lasik. That is incredible.

        Wouldn’t surgery make it permanent? I heard a couple stories of the people who did regret it.

          Yes, getting Lasik surgery is permanent. Sometimes people do regret getting Lasik eye surgery.
