And the discrimination that I face as a trans person is very different from the discrimination that a person of color feels in this country. The remedies aren't the same, and umbrella terming discrimination just sweeps it under the rug and fails to provide a tangible set of goals to fix.

Fixing discrimination globally all at once is impossible. It creates apathy and makes us all bystanders to the problems. Legally ensuring that the nurse or teacher doesn't misgender me is a very fixable and tangible thing that is very easy and clear cut.

I still pass a place in California where they have a bunch stashed. I don't think they are selling well either.

They're gonna happen eventually if nothing improves. There's a breaking point to this all that we are on a collision course with.

They wouldnt be trying to throw trans people, women's rights, immigrants etc. under the bus so hard if they weren't desperate for the distraction. Genocide is the last gasp of empires as they fail. And we will fall if trump wins or further damages democracy.

Read your own damn study. You are selectively omitting the words right before "of the 139 participants "

"Sexual orientation was ascertained for both fantasy and behavior and then dichotomized as either biphilic/androphilic or gynephilic. Of the 139 participants, 17 (12.2%) were classified as persisters and the remaining 122 (87.8%) were classified as desisters. Data on sexual orientation in fantasy were available for 129 participants:... "

Right off the bat that study is about sexual identity, ie- sexual preferences, not gender identity ie who one is.

And the are much better studies that are far more comprehensive

"found an overall rate of 1 percent for regret after surgery for both transmasculine and transfeminine surgeries." https://slate.com/technology/2024/02/transgender-youth-health-care-regret-pamela-paul-nyt-data.html

With a 1% regret rate it is not something that trans people have an issue with. You can count on one hand the number of trans individuals that have gone back permanently. Also puberty blockers are completely reversible, it's not until months on the actual hormones that people start getting permanent changes. And even then that isn't that irreversible.

It wasn't in the pertinent message when you could be misconstrued. You only clarified your position after you started getting downvotes

Learn to put proper antecedents in if you don't want to be misunderstood.

"These ones do, the problem could be solved easily enough with separate locker rooms."

That could just have been as left vague as you could word it to both insult while maintaining plausible deniability that you didn't intend to insult.
