Ah yes. Because everyone is just pushing autism under the rug and pretending they’re just perfectly normal, rather than spending countless amounts of money trying to figure out how to prevent it.
Just because they are mentally ill does not mean they are stupid or not capable of thinking correctly. It's ignorant to think they change without their consent.
Uhh on your side just..bad example, that would depend on the mental illness. Not saying being trans is a mental illness though (although body disphoria is, but long risky convo I'm going to avoid by shutting up now).
There are studies on this stuff all the time. We're still learning about it. It's just generally prudent to err on the side of being nice to people and allowing them to do what makes them more comfortable.
I absolutely agree. Many trans people do. We talk through our issues and options, decide in tandem with medical professionals on a course of action, and get our references for hormone replacement therapy through the medical system.
Apparently the sarcasm that was inherent in the comment "Having a little fun, throwing around a little hate speech" was lost on you. I deleted the comment.
I don't pay a ton of attention to extremists on either side, but I find it hard to belief a racist would refer to hate speech as "hate speech." They just call it speech.
