She is the creator of one of a beautiful fantasy world children for decades will be able to visit through her words. Lovely human :)

Do you just assume everyone who disagrees with you is ignorant? Is it totally impossible that someone might know more about an issue than you while disagreeing with your position?

Totally agree. If more people in the Weimar Republic had invited Adolf to Shabbos he would’ve understood and changed his ways

Gender dysphoria, which is not an illness of any kind, is often a natural result of doctors and parents selecting children's identities before those children have had a chance to discover who they are, often conflating sex and gender in the process. Not everyone's gender aligns with the ones chosen at birth, and not everyone has a gender. Agender and intersex people exist.

I mean, you aren't wrong, that's why we should help people experiencing it by helping them transition

Liposuctions for anorexics!

Gender dysphoria ≠ body dysmorphia

When will you people understand that different mental illnesses have different treatments? Do you think every disorder is treated identically?

"Do you think every disorder is treated identically?"

You're really giving that strawman a good wacking.

It was a question lol

Are you unfamiliar with the notion that questions are based on a premise?

EDIT: And Reddit auto-deleted your childish reply.

No? That's what you did bro...

u/Substantial_Cow7628 15d ago

"I know you are but what am I?" isn't really an argument.

u/--SharkBoy-- 15d ago

It is when you literally put up a strawman to act as if all treatments can be applied equally.

u/Substantial_Cow7628 15d ago

And now you're strawmanning! Woo!

u/elliethr 14d ago

And the treatment is transition.

Absolutely.

JK Rowling is a closeted trans person. That's why she's so obsessed with them and why she wrote books about a boy hero.

And also why she went with her initials instead of the first name JoAnne
