First of all, exactly 0% of people who have successfully committed suicide later regretted it.

Secondly, yeah, it's taken pretty fking seriously. There are entire support systems for these people... just as there are for people thinking of transitioning. If you think a kid walks into a hospital on day 1 and walks out with surgery you've been partaking in too much propaganda.

So you are a proponent of suicide.

I don't understand this leap of reasoning. I guess we read different things.

Why not commit suicide, nobody ever regretted it.

On a chess forum where many teens likely post and read. Bruh.

I understood what you meant. My response to your post was also a message to llama.

Yes, and I'm also a proponent of collecting human legs after cutting them off for no reason (just read the previous comments).

I'm glad you're able to keep up with the conversation.

Alright, I can no longer resist. It looks like nobody got Eugene. This looks like the appropriate time for this.

Does the lack of regret drive your choices?

Guessing a lot of us did but sometimes we forget to say so. The problem with non verbal communication is that we forget to turn the smile on our faces into a smiley on the post. So here goes.

I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours. I could even give you a leg up.

Thinking of diversifying into ears. So lend me your ears. While you're at it, give me a hand.

Ok so I guess I have to explain it really slowly...

OP claimed the choice of gender reassignment is bad because it's regretted by a non-zero number of people.

I pointed out this is a poor argument since for any choice a non-zero number of people will regret it.

OP countered that gender reassignment is not given due consideration considering how life altering it is.

I pointed out that it's taken very seriously.

OP manufactured the strawman that my claim is therefore any decision taken seriously is a good one and used argument ad absurdum via suicide.

I pointed out that suicide is also taken very seriously by society, not even addressing the fallacious reasoning.

Since OP can't follow a line of reasoning, only riffing on the last thing said, his next argument chose to emphasize my joke... this whole topic is a joke, and the kids / dumb people can't even keep up.

Here, let me help you dum dums. "I claim that 90% of gender dysphoria cases are resolved without hormones or surgery [insert citation here]. I believe the remaining 10% do not constitute a separate group requiring a different approach [insert some light evidence here] and therefore I claim the 10% of cases that involve permanent changes are poor decisions that people and society will later regret [ideally, insert statistic, not a single story here]

Seems like a reasonable criterion for the vast majority of cases.

Wait, what?

My response was that I didn't understand Deadmanparty's leap of reasoning from your declaring people indeed took suicide seriously to him declaring you advocated suicide, in a sense agreeing with you. I see no logical steps between those two declarations.

Oh, I guess I should read that post because it's "also a message to [me]"

-

Oh, he doesn't understand my reasoning, I guess I should explain it.

-

Fine with me, but I'm getting mixed messages.

Sure, makes sense, and we agree

He said nobody regretted committing suicide.

Why not if you don't regret it?

The base assumption of getting sterilized is that you will never want a child.

With help from others you can want to have a family or at the least be happy with yourself.

lol

There are plenty of normal people who don't want kids, and there are plenty of people who adopt. You're not thinking things through, you're just riffing on the last thing said... it's not interesting talking to you, so I think I'm done now.
