Originally posted by Psychic Missile View PostMy argument is that any advantages transwomen have need to be specifically identified and differentiated from beneficial genetic mutation before demanding exclusion if there isn't an ulterior motive. There are plenty of muscular ciswoman athletes (look up women's shotput, weightlifting, and MMA), so the presence of the same among transwoman athletes doesn't meet the burden of proof. I also have no idea where in the transition process any given transwoman is so I cannot say if these depicted women meet my qualification of having comparable androgen levels to ciswomen, which would generally be an unfair advantage. It's noted that you haven't answered my question about transwomen who haven't gone through male puberty.
And I think that letting children go through hormone therapy or blockers before they even reach puberty is child abuse. They have no idea what they want to be at that age. Heck my nephew wanted to be Batman. They don't even have any sexual attraction before puberty. Boys hate girls and think they have cooties. That doesn't make them gay. A person should at least be old enough to vote before they can choose to change their sex.
Aren't you one of those that says pedophilia is wrong because a child is unable to consent to sex? Well if they are unable to consent to sex, or enter contracts, or make any other life defining decisions, they should not be able to choose to change sex.Last edited by Sparko; 12-12-2019, 08:09 AM.

Originally posted by seer View PostBut why? There can be negative effect from puberty blockers including on neurological development. And who knows how these kids will identify in adulthood? Why mess with their natural development when there is evidence that this is, more often than not, something they grow out of? It is medical and parental malpractice.

There are plenty of children who undergo procedures of a greater risk because that's what their parent(s) and doctor(s) think is best for them. Are you against pediatric surgery or psychiatric medications?
As an aside, the line "Aren't you one of those that says pedophilia is wrong because a child is unable to consent to sex?" baffles me. I should hope that everyone, sans acting pedophiles, thinks pedophilia is wrong because a child can't consent and that you are not excluding yourself from that category. Did you intend a different meaning?

Whereas in contrast your moral views (and those of most atheists) tend to be more carefully reasoned out, and he's trying to use that against you here and suggest your reasoning ought to lead to conclusions about the treatment of transgender people. But, as you note, his suggested conclusion doesn't actually follow."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump

Originally posted by Starlight View PostI think Sparko, like many of the Christian posters here, doesn't base his morality on reasoning (e.g. not something like 'pedophilia is wrong because a child can't consent') and instead bases it on a hodge-podge of what the Christians around him believe with a bit of bible occasionally thrown in. Since the bible doesn't say much, if anything at all, about pedophilia, this is probably a case of people around him told him it was wrong when he was growing up, and he takes that to be the general 'Christian' view (notwithstanding Catholic Church aberrations).

Originally posted by seer View PostBecause Homer, this is completely elective, and most likely is not a permanent condition. Why not use psychological therapy rather than messing with the natural development of the body until they are eighteen then let them decide.
Trans people already go through psychological therapy prior to getting puberty-blockers, during which it is determined if their condition is permanent or not. Is this unsatisfactory for you?
