You misunderstood me. I wasn't saying you weren't logical. Kids aren't logical.
First, when we grow up even as kids, we are sure about our existence, just like we are sure about our gender. In fact you proved this very thing to me yesterday.
Second:
Yes, kids aren't always logical. Unless when they start to break a bone and start crying and at that moment, you know that there is something wrong and their suffering is real.
Right ?
Well gender disphoria has the same effect but on mental health. In fact, its much more dangerous and insidious.
So instead of trying to question what I say because - I understand the push - everyone is trying to do the same thing, why don't you type "gender disphoria" on google and look at all the potential effect it can have on a person ?
You are a reasonnable person, so I'm sure you will do the right thing.
But that's the thing. If they can switch up and believe they're the opposite gender,
No one can "switch up" mate.
Gender is not a switch you pull. Its something that you feel in your bones. UNLESS you are gender fluid and in this case its the pull that is in your bone, but in this case there are no problems.
how can they be sure they won't switch up again?
Because that's not something that happens unless you literally violent a kid into thinking that they need to switch up again !
Just ask yourself. Did you EVER felt like you were the opposite gender as a kid ?
No, right ?
Well those kid have the SAME CERTAINTY, but rather them being sure they are their assignated gender, they are the opposite !
You clearly claim children can't be sure about some things, but then claim they can be sure about their gender, somehow?
Yes. because there are some things and knowledge that are not related to the development or the fact of being adult.
The knowledge of gender and the conscience of the existence are such things
Children aren't certain about things like that, especially when compared to adults. Wouldn't it be best if they put all that on hold until they were more mature and understood what they really want and believe?
Ok.. I will try to be the as calm as possible and try to bring you the translation of what you are trying to say:
- When you say to a kid with gender disphoria "Wouldn't it be best if they put all that on hold until they are more mature ?"
- Its like if you were saying to someone with a literal blade in his stomack : "Wouldn't it be best if they put the operation on hold until they are more mature ?"
What you need to understand is that BOTH situation have the same potential lasting effect :
DEATH
> One because of a physical injury
> One because of a mental suffering
So, when you are saying "Wouldn't it be best if they put all that on hold until they are more mature"
You are literally asking children to endure their suffering until they are mature enough to make the descision to take a treatment for themselves.
