Judge blocks Trump order seeking to halt gender-affirming care for trans youth.
  • I'm not mad or upset at all. I could not care less. I don't know anyone that are trans, especially any children that are. It doesn't affect me, but I still have an opposing opinion, however ignorant that may be.

    There was a short period of time in the 80's when medical professionals believed you could contract HIV from someone by simply drinking after them. My point is that medical professionals can be wrong.

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

    Research on the long-term effects on brain development and cognitive function is limited.

    Research on the long-term effects on fertility and sexual function is limited.

    I'll be completely honest. I'm on the fence about all of it, but I do take an issue with our children basically being the Guinea pigs. However, I'll concede because as I said earlier, I really do not care enough.

  • You stated I was in the minority, which wasn't true, and frankly, just because a few organizations believe it's acceptable doesn't speak for the entire medical community. Again, many medical professionals don't agree. Are those medical professionals also the "6th-grade-reading-level Americans" you speak of?

  • That doesn't put me in the minority. I did a simple search, and the first result was a poll from 2023 stating that most adults are against it.

    From what I'm reading, many health professionals can't come to an agreement on it.

    Regardless, you do you. I'm allowed to state an opinion. If you take that as "someone trying to tell you what to do," that's more of a "you" problem than a "me" problem.

  • Is there a Lemmy/Reddit alternative that has more free speech/less censorship and which's orientation is more representative of the actual opinion of the world?
  • The irony here is amazing. You're requesting a community where people agree with you because you have a realistic view of the world.

    Did you ever stop and think that you're the common denominator and maybe, just maybe, your world view is the one that's wrong?

  • Which password manager to use?
  • I've been using Bitwarden for years now. Their free tier is amazing, they're rarely down, and it's open source with extensions and apps for every platform.

    I tried Proton Pass for a minute while Bitwarden was offline, but quickly ran back to Bitwarden. Proton's extension kept logging out for some reason. I didn't care enough to troubleshoot it.
