It’s one thing to have differing views, but I’ve seen enough attempted reddit migrations to be relieved that the popular communities in the fediverse so far haven’t been about crazy racist stuff or other extreme right bullshit.

I am also glad that I’m getting away from reddit’s general political shitposting, which was more left leaning. You couldn’t have any proper discourse on there, and even I with my generally more left leaning views recognized that.

    You’re not their doctor, they arent your patients, what business is it of yours?

    ok, so if you’re not a doctor you can have no opinion on healthcare now?

    No, the point is you aren’t their doctor. (which is what was said)

    Nor are you (or I) part of the conversation in any way. The conversation exists (and should exist) only between children, their parents, and their healthcare professionals.

    It’s ridiculous for a third party to go “I don’t know this child, I don’t know their parents, I don’t know what their relationship is like, I don’t know their personal history, I don’t know what their doctor has said to them or what the parameters of that discussion have been, but I know whether that child should transition, go on puberty blockers, or wait.”

    Sure, of course you can have an opinion, but why on earth you would think it should impact any specific child’s outcome, or that anyone really cares what it is? It’s an intrinsically private and personal decision.
