Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

That's fine. It's an extreme example to illustrate the perspective: most parents will err on the side of "Do no harm." You are misidentifying the perspective you're fighting. I am more likely to live in a liberal bubble than a conservative one. It's just where my mind (and the average parent's mind?) automatically goes. One method of philosophical reasoning is to start with the extremes and then narrow down to the center/ more likely scenarios that are shades of the extreme... I think that's common?
How do they prevent their bodies from producing sexual hormones they don't want? Removal of the testes/ ovaries? Ablating the adrenal gland ? (pretty sure that's not a thing ... It would have other serious ramifications).
My state is about to follow Kansas and revoke the “M” on my drivers license, which I’ve had for 10 years. This will put me in physical danger and harm my ability to find employment. No one needs you to play devils advocate here.
Spiro for trans women, not really a problem for trans men. There’s estrogen floating around in my body right now, but the testosterone overwhelms it.
