    My son said at some point when he was 2, "I want to be a girl". My daughter said at some point, probably when she was 4, "I want to have a willy". It literally means nothing at that age.

    It shouldn't take courage to post, just because you are a woman. That's the sad part. Unfortunately, there are a lot of men on here who treat women like sh*t, or can't respect their opinion in a mature or even honest way. They prefer to ridicule, tag team, and poke fun at them for kicks. So much for southern gentlemen. Not many left unfortunately. I put most of them on ignore because Clutch allows bullying on here.

    To be fair, we all do all of that to each other here. I don't think you are being targeted because of your gender.

    Unfortunately yes this forum and particularly D&D is very testosterone laden. @malakas who was a Greek woman left Clutchfans altogether a few months ago brecause she felt that she was being bullied. I messaged her to try to convince her to stay but she said she had enougth and didn't find tis place very welcoming.

    Oh yea, as I said, Republicans saw a winning issue.

    I haven't seen it in particular wrt to hormone treatment (most don't know anything about it except what they see over mass media), but it's not surprising. I think people are in general pretty bad at risk assessments for medical treatments ("downplaying" or not understanding the risk). If people understand the risks more, I think the plastic surgery industry would be dead.

    There has been a national push to make circumcisions illegal, mostly from people that think the procedure is common because of religious tradition. Personally, unless the medical establishment is speaking strongly against it (they have not; there is definitely some value to the procedures and the risk is pretty low), it should be left to the parent and dr. Gov love to protect children but they need to defer to experts in the medical field and absolutely shouldn't make laws based on politics.

    "If you don't like it, don't do it" is common but ... you can only "don't do gun" to a limited extent (not having it in your house because you may feel it's actually more unsafe to do so). You can definitely "don't do" medical procedures within your family.

    It's why they probably love a party of old white men who put women in the place they want them to be. A step below them.

    Really think about the logic behind this tweet. Really think hard. Use that matter in between your ears. I know you can do it.

    hint: that tweet is basically making an argument that we shouldn't discuss mental health issues and have that information readily available online.

    kind of like social media can lead one to completely lose touch with reality, such as 'masking is evil' :D

    why we should be quick to self-diagnose or make conclusions based on tweets/tiktok/short_form_media contents

    why we should disregard the medical establishment and trust politicians or the internet for mental health and its treatment




    on a serious note, teens (and everyone really) need more access to professional mental health care so they can obtain the help they need or be properly diagnosed
