I repeat, you do not fix your problems by maiming yourself. TyrReborn Send a noteboard - 13/09/2017 09:56:36 PM

Medication like citalopram and seroquel for anxiety, onlazapine for schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, and estrogen/testosterone for gender dysphoria.


Once again, if a person has a mental ailment, then yes, they should seek treatment. However, the line where treatment ends and self-maiming begins is a very distinct, thick line.

As soon as someone begins "treating" their delusions by causing permanent, real, physical harm to their bodies, they are no longer "treating" anything, simply maiming themselves.

Chemical imbalances in the brain that cause actual, mental illnesses have every need to be corrected chemically. However, these are incredibly distinct from the "transgender" "treatments", which distort and harm their body outside of biological and genetic norms.

To save you some work, here's the definition of "maim"



maim
[meym]

verb (used with object)
1.
to deprive of the use of some part of the body by wounding or the like; cripple:
The explosion maimed him for life.
2.
to impair; make essentially defective:
The essay was maimed by deletion of important paragraphs.
noun, Obsolete.
3.
a physical injury, especially a loss of a limb.
4.
an injury or defect; blemish; lack.


So, again, (say it with me now!) treating an illness is absolutely the correct thing to do, be it mental or physical, but to flood your body with hormones that cause real, permanent, crippling damage to their physical body is, in fact, maiming themselves, and is so far removed from actual medical care to be as realistic as anti-vaxxers or homeopathic idiocy.

If you can not see the vast difference between these aspects, then you have no business commenting on any of these issues, and, if you had any respect for people with actual problems, you would kindly excuse yourself from any further discussion.

Seeing how far off you are from actual, realistic points, however, I have no hope this will actually happen.

As usual, I'm going to breeze past most of the nonsense here. - 12/09/2017 02:27:37 AM 705 Views
Oh, for sure. - 12/09/2017 10:55:59 PM 612 Views
Just like cancer--it's natural, so it can't be bad. - 13/09/2017 12:37:16 AM 567 Views
You say my argument isn't good, so you rebut with... that? - 13/09/2017 02:01:04 AM 596 Views
Are you familiar with the suicide rates of people experiencing dysphoria? - 13/09/2017 02:10:44 AM 529 Views

I wouldn't care, either, if not for the demand for official recognition. - 13/09/2017 03:41:34 PM 648 Views
What are they asking for that bothers you? *NM* - 13/09/2017 04:07:19 PM 312 Views
He repeatedly said so in his posts. - 13/09/2017 04:24:15 PM 642 Views
Yes, thank you for mansplaining. - 13/09/2017 05:23:59 PM 494 Views
Cannoli is right. I was pretty clear about what bothers me. - 13/09/2017 08:49:12 PM 541 Views

I thought I provided it. Adherence to logic, facts and reality. - 13/09/2017 10:41:39 PM 574 Views
No, you did. - 13/09/2017 11:16:18 PM 555 Views
I agree with this. - 13/09/2017 04:34:19 PM 510 Views

You replace that "M" with an "L", and change the "no" to an "a".... - 14/09/2017 06:17:06 AM 572 Views
... yet. *NM* - 13/09/2017 07:26:56 PM 336 Views

So your suggestion is to keep the suicide rate staggeringly high. Excellent solution. - 13/09/2017 11:03:42 PM 568 Views
Nice strawman. - 14/09/2017 02:42:01 AM 482 Views
And in the meantime, while your miracle drugs and therapies are being developed... *NM* - 14/09/2017 03:08:55 AM 360 Views
Don't allow them to maim themselves. It's that simple. I don't get why you don't get it. - 14/09/2017 03:18:20 AM 599 Views
Because you're saying "don't do this thing that makes you less likely to kill yourself." - 14/09/2017 05:46:13 AM 488 Views

Oh, thank you! Your hyperbolic sarcasm has opened my eyes! - 15/09/2017 06:28:35 AM 474 Views
I thought your latest replies were slacking off a bit, so I resumed your best arguments from before. - 15/09/2017 07:22:04 AM 547 Views
You're not even making sense. - 15/09/2017 05:46:04 PM 539 Views
If only stamina were enough to win a debate. - 15/09/2017 08:00:26 PM 581 Views
Oh! Haha! I don't know how I missed the humor there! - 15/09/2017 08:42:50 PM 470 Views
Yeah, most people feel that way when they're being mocked. *NM* - 15/09/2017 09:00:32 PM 332 Views
This is pretty sad on multiple levels.... - 12/09/2017 10:45:17 PM 571 Views

So how to protect little Pat from - 13/09/2017 04:32:44 PM 517 Views
You seem either confused on what that means, or leaping to rather unjustified conclusions. - 13/09/2017 06:29:47 PM 483 Views
I missed that part.... - 13/09/2017 07:00:17 PM 478 Views
Not confused about the syndrome. Was the kid in the article/news segment named 'Pat'? - 13/09/2017 07:06:08 PM 485 Views
Patrick, yes. - 13/09/2017 07:08:37 PM 480 Views
Doctor shopping, of course - 13/09/2017 07:24:20 PM 546 Views
I doubt it's that easy. But what makes this different from other conditions in that regard? *NM* - 13/09/2017 07:34:30 PM 333 Views
Because it's not wrong...? - 15/09/2017 05:53:24 PM 500 Views
I suppose. I meant on the doctors approving treatment side. - 15/09/2017 08:10:59 PM 561 Views

You ain't lyin' about that. - 14/09/2017 04:06:48 AM 558 Views
I find the things they're doing with young people on this issue very troubling. - 14/09/2017 03:58:05 AM 555 Views
I think this is an eminently reasonable viewpoint. - 14/09/2017 05:49:00 AM 609 Views
