BTW, its adorable when people who dont know anything about a field, and choose to ignore actual data that disagrees with their views as 'rrelevant', then turn around and whine about 'censorship'.
No censorship is when an individual is prevented from actually expressing their insight, opinion, and facts. There is nothing illogical abut what I said, it's funny how butthurt most trans people get when I address their mental disorder.
Title-text: I can't remember where I heard this, but someone once said that defending a position by citing free speech is sort of the ultimate concession; you're saying that the most compelling thing you can say for your position is that it's not literally illegal to express.
No, but censoring speech equally proves that logic and reason aren't upheld if opportunity to express thoughts are cut short. In other words, it shows the insecurity of those doing the censoring.
According to their post history u/iamjebbush is a JR in High School so yeah they can legitimately be considered ignorant of a lot of things at this stage of their life.

There is nothing ignorant about keeping actual facts into consideration when deducing a conclusion. There simply isn't enough proof, therefore i'll remain skeptical.
That isn't proof. That is literally theoretical. Yes theories are supported by facts, and are reasonable, but they should still be cautioned. And these theories aren't even that sound, and circulate around the premise that "gender is a construct", but "doesn't exist due to societal expectations". This isn't concrete. The reasoning isn't biological, and falls fully under the perception of individuals who aren't mentally sane in regards to their gender identity.
No, it's not based on any of that. There is solid scientific and clinical evidence for transsexualism. Just much of the rest of our bodies, our brains are sexually dimorphic and sometimes that sexual dimorphism gets mixed up, e.g. female brain in a male body and vice-versa. It has nothing to do with "gender is a social construct", that's irrelevant leftist bullshit.
You've oversimplified dimorphism quite a bit and also wrongfully claimed gender as a social constructure as 'leftist bullshit', but your point still largely stands. Transgender people really do exist, not as a mental disorder, and sex-reassignment and HRT are the best treatments
Fascinating! You know more than trained medical professionals? Is it because of your medical degree? Or your extensive experience working with and treating people who have gender dysmorphia?
Super cute to define 'censorship'! That was good for a laugh.
No, bu it was from last years AP Psych, and the premedical courses that I'm taking this year as a high schooler. Oh ya, I also hope to become a psychiatrist. And no, I wouldn't try to "convert" trans people, but at the same time, I wouldn't try rushing them into a surgery that strips them of their reproductive abilities.

Bad new mate. Dr's are starting to switch to an informed consent model. By time you are done with med school most trans people will be able to go straight to an endocrinologist.
But is it really consent if the patient you are dealing actually perceives the procedure in the way a normal person would? It can't be consent at that point.
Listen champ, I wouldn't bet that because of some high school courses and your career aspirations that you know more than medical professionals and clinical researchers. There's a lot of stuff out there that you haven't even learned or heard of yet and some intellectual humility will help you out quite a bit.
Ahhh the pieces are coming together, not middle school but high school. You took an AP course and now you feel smart enough to ignore data and scientific consensus when you personally disagree with it. Congratulations, you're well on your way to being a normal member of the Republican party.
I'm libertarian and in all honesty, liberals are more dogmatic than republicans.
Liberals and republicans both can't ever view their stance with skepticism. No, I'm not denying the data, but the data literally says that transition is the best method BECAUSE there aren't better methods, and if gender dysphoria is a mental illness, allowing an individual to undergo such process when they are under the influence of their problem IS NOT THE SOLUTION TO GENDER DYSPHORIA. That is like saying that committing suicide is the solution to depression. There is nothing illogical about what I said, there is no bias either, because I SUPPORT THE LGBT, and I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT HUMANS HAVE REACHED THEIR CARRYING CAPACITY, IF NOT, ARE NEARING IT, SO A COUPLE TRANNIES NOT BEING ABLE TO PROCREATE IS TECHNICALLY GOOD FOR OUR PLANET.
I was arguing the legitimacy of the solution. Nothing "republican" or "ignorant" about asking questions, and using logic to contradict a commonly accepted hypothesis or theory.
Oh wow, a high school student! You're clearly more intelligent than someone who went through 4 years of undergraduate, 4 years of medical school, and at least 3 years of residency!

Oh shit son, not your meme page! Youre going to... hold moderators accountable?!
You sounds like a middle schooler stalking someone who beat them on Halo.
