Obligatory “not today” disclaimer: actually fucked up over two decades ago, but found out today.

At the dawn of theinternet, I made an account on imgur. I figured (correctly) that I wasn’t going to use it often enough for the username to matter much, so I just went with the first part of my email adress and a number four times.

Turns out that there is such a thing as nazi number code and it’s never a good idea to use an even number of 8s for usernames when you’re not a nazi.

TL;DR: Didn’t know about nazi code, accidentally selected an imgur username ending with the equivalent of a double Hitler salute

    1. You are severely misinterpreting what these links are saying

    https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/gender-dysphoria/treatment/

    Little is known about the long-term side effects of hormone or puberty blockers in children with gender dysphoria.

    Although GIDS advises this is a physically reversible treatment if stopped, it is not known what the psychological effects may be.

    From the age of 16, teenagers who’ve been on hormone blockers for at least 12 months may be given cross-sex hormones, also known as gender-affirming hormones.

    These hormones cause some irreversible changes, such as: […]

    This is referring to hormone replacement therapy, not puberty blockers. Something that is only prescribed at 16, when they old enough to drive or join the military.

    And as much as the long term psychological effects of hormone blockers are unknown, what is know is the psychological effects of forcing transgender kids to undergo biological puberty: Severe gender dysphoria that leads many to commit suicide.

    But I guess the distress of trans kids does not matter to you. You just want to pretend that they don’t exist, and mandate it so that they don’t exist.

    https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/gender-dysphoria/in-depth/pubertal-blockers/art-20459075

    After a time of adjusting to puberty blockers and confirming gender identity, gender-affirming hormone therapy might be an option. This can develop masculine or feminine secondary sex characteristics to help better align the body with an individual’s gender identity. Some of the changes triggered by gender-affirming hormone therapy cannot be reversed. Others may require surgery to reverse.

    Same here.

    Do you get it though? The irreversible changes in question include what transgender people go through when they don’t have access to puberty blockers.

    1. I won’t even bother. Not only you ignored specific examples but you are just spitting recycled clichés. For someone so concerned with who gets called a nazi you don’t take a moment to smear whoever you disagree with. I wasn’t even talking about you to begin with.

    But if you were so above political extremism, you shouldn’t be getting on the case of trans people. Which you insist on just as you say there’s no need to worry about hate movements.

      I just lost my comment when i hit the reply button, and I honestly don’t care enough to type it again.

      Long story short: there are side effects, it is not “fully” reversible, fuck you
