Then while flying over the Atlantic, he gender-fluids into whale gender and thinks he needs to go into the water. There is a reason why mental wards exist. If someone is mental and a danger to society, we lock them up. If they are just mental, we don't let them work in safety-critical industries.Look at their suicide rates? Would you let this obviously 'not-everyones-at-home' person babysit your child or be your doctor?=)

sapphire is ok with having a child be trans at a young age and think its child abuse to not let them do that. it cant be worse tbh

Their track record of fuck ups seems piss poor to be honest. While they're a proffessional for a reason, that doesn't make them the bedrock of authority, being right, or, eerily enough, intelligent.

Doing nothing can be fatal.Taking a proffessional's word at face value in the past has cost members of my family, and no doubt other people out there. You don't need to look far in history to find slews of proffessionals who made shit calls or made things worse. With people, no matter who they are, you've got to take things with a grain of salt and do your own work. See if their logic is sound and where holes are. If you don't, you're setting yourself up.

If HRT doesn't produce results, it can be discontinued before any notable effects occur. The risks of major complications happening due to HRT are miniscule, especially when only inhibitors are used.If someone experiences severe depressive symptoms. They are already at risk. These depressive symptoms can persist through other treatments. They did for me.If I was fillibustered by my parents, I would have died without HRT. Others might not be as lucky as I was.
Holy fuck, Bungie is such a shithole
