SEGM is a known anti transgender hate group, as is Genspect: https://www.vice.com/en/article/m7gg54/florida-transgender-healthcare-minors

"As an organization committed to the generation and application of clinical science for the public good, the Coalition for the Advancement and Application of Psychological Science (CAAPS) supports eliminating the use of Rapid-Onset Gender Dysphoria (ROGD) and similar concepts for clinical and diagnostic application given the lack of rigorous empirical support for its existence.

There are no sound empirical studies of ROGD and it has not been subjected to rigorous peer-review processes that are standard for clinical science. Further, there is no evidence that ROGD aligns with the lived experiences of transgender children and adolescents.

Despite the lack of evidence for ROGD and its significant potential for creating harm, it has garnered increased attention in the general public and is being misused within and beyond the field of psychology. For example, recent medical articles have started including ROGD in their overview of adolescents with gender incongruence, and there has been an increase in books, videos, podcasts, and training directed to parents and clinicians offering strategies for diagnosing and treating ROGD. The proliferation of misinformation regarding ROGD is also infiltrating policy decisions. Currently, there are over 100 bills under consideration in legislative bodies across the country that seek to limit the rights of transgender adolescents, many of which are predicated on the unsupported claims advanced by ROGD. Thus, even though ROGD is not a diagnostic classification or subtype in either the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) or the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), nor is it under consideration for inclusion in future editions, it is critical to address the misinformation regarding ROGD now."

All of your so called evidence is easy to disprove and makes it obvious that you're cloaking your transphobia and hate in a made up concern over the mental faculties of children.

Spoken like a complete ignorant. Ask any gay person if they think being gay is a mental illness. I hope you get punched in the face for the question. Dysphoria happens more from someone not being supported to be themselves and think through their feelings, hence why the suicide rate is so high. I would hope a parent would live their child enough to be able to have an open, loving, and most importantly, non-judgmental conversation with their child if they were having these feelings. Not to automatically label them as mentally ill. This kind of naivety is exactly why mental health in this country is so bad. Just because someone has feelings or thinks different than you doesn't make them mentally ill. It just makes you an asshole.

Evidence. Show me evidence cisgender children are being bullied into transitioning otherwise you're just wasting both our times.

Versus being bullied or pressured into something they don't want and aren't yet able to recognize as such? That's why we call them children. They're not adults.

So you want children to suffer for years?

you should probably be tackling a couple of these in summer time first before you consider an attempt in winter. 22 people died in the Whites in 2022. It’s a different planet up there!

That would be abuse considering the child cannot consent.

It's absolutely my business when it's in the public schools and affects people within my community. Child abusers would say the same thing, none of anyone else's business, right?

It's gender dysphoria, it's absolutely a mental illness.

>Block being allowed to make your own medical decisions?

They're children. Children don't get to make their own medical decisions.

That's exactly the purpose of puberty blockers, which this bill is trying to criminalize

They're not. They're delaying the decision until the only individual that would be affected by it is able to consent.

No, they are not mentally ill, and science has confirmed that it is not an 'illness' issue but more of a social stigmatization of a very real and natural condition. Frankly, it's none of your business if you do not understand them or comprehend their condition and it's as simple as that. Some additional reading for you: https://www.bbc.com/news/health-48448804

I've read many reports of boys who were underdeveloped, not as strong or as big as the other boys at their age levels, end up getting peer pressured into thinking they're actually girls and pretty much get pushed into some form of transitioning, only to later realize it's not at all what they wanted. There are a lot of truly disturbing stories out there. Having been bullied for being thin as a child, it's chilling to imagine what school would have been like if I were that age now. It was pretty terrible as it was, without all this grooming going on. I don't know how anyone can view it as anything other than child abuse.

>If you're for children having the right to live happily, then I also feel you must acknowledge that trans and gender-nonconforming adolescents have the highest rates of suicide and depression among any demographic.

Yes, they're mentally ill. They need treatment for their mental illness. Altering their body to support their disturbed thoughts while their brain is still developing isn't a good approach, you don't need a PhD to realize that.

​

>In today's world, it is too easy for us to forget that individual liberty exists and needs to be protected.

As adults. Until then, the health and safety of children must be protected.

Children aren't generally afforded the same rights as adults. They don't yet possess the mental faculties to make adult decisions.

"Agency twists facts to justify own existence." That should have been the article, but it's WMUR.

What do you think reddit is, exactly?

When I was a kid, i wanted to be a pilot, then i wanted to be a doctor, then i wanted to be a woodworker, then I started fixing cars. Now I'm back in school after wasting 4 years of my life in a shitty industry. Now I wish my parents forced me to go to school to become a pilot like I always wanted. Kids dont know what they want and neither do parents. You understand neither.

You can enter the military at 18 yet, you cant smoke or drink until 21 for a reason. Kids dont know what they're putting in their body but the military will raise them to be excellent soldiers and providers. Having worked in a shitty industry, I was still able to go back to school, being in the military has many benefits.

Chopping ur dick off or taking hormone pills at a young age is irreversible.

This couldn’t be more anti-New Hampshire if they tried. Block free speech? Check. Block 4th amendment right to privacy? Check. Block being allowed to make your own medical decisions? Check.

Between this and the anti-abortion bullshit the GOP going full authoritarian huh? Well folks you get what you vote for when you put scum buckets into office to fuck the state up with their knuckle dragging life views

No gotcha. The same people saying children are being forced into transitioning are literally forcing a decision on an infant. Blatant hypocrisy.

I love when this gets brought up like it's some sort of gotcha.

Yes, I agree. I don't think we should even allow a religious exemption.

ETA: Someone else mentioned not allowing Medicaid to cover it, which seems like a fantastic idea. Even if we did allow circumcision with a religious exemption, there's absolutely no reason that anybody else should ever have to pay for it.

"Based on this review, there is an extremely low prevalence of regret in transgender patients after GAS."

Additionally:

"Overall, the most common reason for regret was psychosocial circumstances, particularly due to difficulties generated by return to society with the new gender in both social and family enviroments"

and

"Our study has shown a very low percentage of regret in TGNB population after GAS."

New Hampshire: live free or die, unless you're trans, then you need to suffer.

Just making sure I got your message right.
