I feel like Firefox has made some really great strides on the performance front. Especially considering how bloated chrome has gotten as a comparison. But… Yeah that’s valid. I love Firefox like 99% of the time but sometimes I’m almost forced to swap to Chrome to get a site to work correctly or reliably.
Sure! Great point! That’s why:
a. Minors very rarely get surgery or non-reversible care.
b. If a minor has gender dysphoria, they can work with their doctor and parents to be put on puberty blockers so they can explore if/how they want to transition, instead of forcing them through a puberty that would be very expensive and traumatic to undo.
Your point is only an issue for bigots who can’t respect someone else’s private medical decisions regarding their own body.
I had so much info and "are you sure?"s shoved down my throat when I finally came out. It would be impossible to not be sure if you actually talk to a therapist and your doctor. Both of which are necessary for a diagnosis of gender dysphoria, and is a precursor to getting access to care and doing things like changing one’s name (from experience!).
Shall we regulate who can get tattoos or hair removal? Those seem pretty permanent and can have health implications as well.

I don’t give much of a fuck about what you personally find to be important when my rights are on the line. Be as pissy as you want about this, but the only reason trans people are in the news or in politics is because of conservatives trying to legislate them out of existence. If my existence bothers you so much, you’re welcome to gouge your own eyes out and no longer perceive me.
Unpopular opinions is about the only place this shit can be said with a smug, troll veneer about wanting discussion or civility. Meanwhile, said opinions are only held by some of the most vile people to exist. I’d caution you about the company you’ll keep with opinions like that, but you seem to be okay with it.

Just wait until you accidently
have something unindented that wasn’t supposed to beforget one semicolon. Those are fun bugs to troubleshoot
FTFY.
You seem flexible and obviously have empathy for others. /s
Here’s a good resource: http://genderdysphoria.fyi/
You need to understand how often people ask questions that seem to come from a place of ignorance but genuine curiosity and then take that discussion to tell trans folks that they are wrong. It happens so much that it’s the main way that transphobes try to infiltrate spaces meant for trans folks.
My honest response is to check that website out. If you are asking about this in trans spaces, bring zero opinions to the table and accept what is said back to you without debate. Debating trans folks’ existence is something that is forced upon them in their own spaces by malicious people asking and framing questions just like you’ve described.
It’s hard to take the “enlightened centrism” stance seriously when I see it used as an excuse. So many centrists tell trans folks that their identity is wrong and that they are mentally ill or chose this “lifestyle”. As if they want to be trans. As if they like feeling scared and being told they’re wrong about something as fundamental as their identity.
I think they’re more like Pennsylvania or upstate NY. New Hampshire on the other hand… 👀
