    Cuz they want it to be true. They want their "opponents" to be vile creatures so they can claim the moral highground.

    Makes it easier to dismiss their arguments.

    Are you that desperate to be a victim? You'd accuse others, very rudely, without any proof, just so you can play a game of gotcha?

    In another post I have mentioned having over 2 decades of experience with troubled youth and young adults. You might find the comment, you might not, I tend to delete comments often.

    In my line of work suicide of those we aim to help is a very real possibility. During those years we have lost 11 transitioned young people who explicitly mentioned their new body being a large part of the reason why they took that drastic step. They are not found in the statistics linked in this thread. Other factors did play a part, true. But those are the ones that explicitly mentioned it. A few of those mentioned explicitly how they felt under informed about the negative possibilities. They were mostly told, by people like you, online and in other trans communities, that life will be much better afterwards. Medical professionals downplayed the medical risks, complications, pain, discomfort. Oh they were mentioned, but downplayed.

    The worst thing I could wish upon you: may you be treated how you treat others.

    Awfully quick to jump to conclusions. Awfully quick to remove people from society.

    Sad that you think those actions are just. May you be treated how you treat others. 😉

    Funny how you assume I want to ban it. Seems like a common trend. In which you are identical to the frequenters of r/the_donald. If I don't flatout agree with you, I must heavily oppose you.

    Didn't you get the "trans care is a dialog" part? I mean I would love to see your reasoning in how that can be viewed as wanting to ban it. I always love a good show of mental gymnastics.

    No sweetie, those can be diagnosed through imaging and completed without the patient saying one word.

    Trans care is a dialog.

    Nice try, better luck next time?

    You are hilarious. Not in a good way. You are incapable of having a normal discussion. You always, without fail go for the ad hominem. Your conduct here today is a disservice to the trans community.

    Please point out where I made those statements?

    As was mentioned, it's a long process. With still 1%, which is a very conservative estimate, regretting it after all those years, all that information. I feel this should be mentioned.

    What you did not mention however was the 13% that stopped transitioning and started detransitioning. The previous 1% only takes into account completed transitions. Since it's a lengthy process, there are many that stop during the process.

    That should also be mentioned and the fact that you willingly choose to omit it shows you do not want informed consent.

    No. You did not. Parents aren't required. Neither is the doctor initially. Psycologist or psychiatrist would be better. They have a better understanding than your run of the mill doctor.

    Perhaps I should've been more clear that my response was not aimed only at you, but the others here as well.

    It's funny how you just downvote and provide zero arguments. Just jumping to call me anti-trans and a pedo.

    Good thing I'm not as phobic as you people and will still support the trans community, just not the individuals being dicks.

    So requesting you be honest and fully inform kids is pedophiliac tendencies? You do get how this makes you look? Right?

    Please point out where I mentioned anything anti-trans. Or is this again by requesting honesty and transparency? Again, you do realise how this makes you look? Right?

    Judging from the responses and downvotes, I can see this community still doesn't want informed consent....

    Hence the /procedures. 😉

    Weird how you left out the links of studies, reports of people that actually do regret it. I mean should we just ignore those people?

    If you want kids to be able to make these decisions, you will have to inform them. Properly. Not just paint them a nice picture. That's what you're currently doing. Not informing them and painting nice pink pictures.

    It is not sunshine and rainbows for everyone. There are trans people who regret it. Ignoring that fact is being dishonest with yourself and the transcommunity.

  • As the title says, I'm new to running. Due to medical reasons I was never allowed to do any sports. Which turned me into a 40 yo fatass. Well my horrible diet didn't help either. Finally had enough and started running, prolly the first time in my life, about 3 months ago. It went worse than I thought. 1min at 7km/hr and then 4-5min walk cycles for a total of 5 mins running was all I could manage the first few weeks. I kept at it, slowly increasing running time and walking pace. Got stuck at 15min running, just couldn't go longer. Last week I said fuck it and went for a full 5k. At the 15min mark I had my usual dip/shutdown, but pushed through and finished the run with a HR at 172-176 for the final 20 mins. Repeated the 5k twice now and the last time my max HR was at 156-ish. Found my unconscious breathing was holding me back. When I focus on proper breathing I can keep going. Next goal is upping from 8km/hr to 10 for the 5km, then extending the runs. End goal is doing some 10mile races next year. Started running for weight loss, which so far has been great. +130kg to 110kg.
