I second this. There are some really great Discord communities to play on that I'm part of. Generally, it's much easier to keep the creeps out by just banning them. It doesn't have to be a Westmarches server, but any TTRPG server with an actual community that runs game on the server itself, instead of just another LFG fishing pond.
that must be it! if only those women hadn't listened to True Crime, they would still be alive now
Yes, getting Lasik surgery is permanent. Sometimes people do regret getting Lasik eye surgery.
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.
Because gender affirming care isn't just surgeries. It includes things like hormone replacement therapy and especially puberty blockers. By waiting until after 18, they've already gone through most of puberty and its damaging effects to their body. If they still want to transition, then that's tens of thousands of dollars for surgery that might not have been needed if they were allowed to start on puberty blockers at least.
There's also the fact that banning gender affirming care is banning life saving healthcare. That is years that a person needs to go without receiving proper treatment. It's wrong for the same reasons that banning any other medication for anyone under 18 would be wrong.
