    It started out as a pejorative (like a cheap car with cheap mods) but has become a positive term associated with customization and a respect for effort involved regardless of financial resources (sometimes cheaper being more impressive).

    So uh… Nah I’m gonna keep saying that. You do you.







  • Absolute garbage. Turned it off the moment he mentioned the Cass report. No idea who this guy is but he clearly has no idea what he’s talking about on this subject if that’s the first thing he brings up.

    With that said: significant intervention isn’t always necessary for GD. Plenty of people life fine lives without hormones, or with hormones but without surgeries, or with surgeries but only some. It depends on the patient, their level of distress, and what their goals are. Railroading people into an elaborate treatment plan is a problem, and is largely exists as an overcorrection IMO: but it’s far less of a problem than transphobes like to pretend.

    Listen to kids and believe them. Everyone can be mistaken or confused, everyone needs time to figure things out for themselves. But that’s exactly what blockers do for example: buy time. Aside from that, just about everything else can happen slower, as people grow and learn, and their needs and dreams change or become more clear.

    Not everyone needs every option, and life would be better if we helped people be more comfortable with who they are. But sometimes, who they are isn’t who you see them as; and you’ve got to work on that too.
