I thought it's widely-agreed that gender dysphoria is a mental illness. The debate lies in how to treat it—try to realign the busy with the mind or the mind with the body.

It depends on the "science of the times." Crazy concept, I know.
It's why psychology is considered a "soft science" and doesn't deserve the authority that hard sciences have.
It's a crazy concept to apply "science of the times" to only psychology, but not every other branch of science and medicine, as there are huge holes in understanding everywhere.
I have no idea what sciences would be considered "hard" in this definition.

Okay 🤷♂️
EDIT They can say whatever they want. But so can you. So where's the problem?
The problem is that people want to censor what they don't want to see for others.
"If I don't like it, then neither should you."
No, no, no. Some people can say as they choose, some cannot. In any case, we're all forced to listen to it and participate.

Fuck Meta and Zuck. I wish I could stop using WhatsApp, as every other Meta product is out of my devices already.
I wish our government actually regulated these corporations so they are not able to have a tentacle in so many essential technologies.
All of the symptoms of the crushing power of techbro oligarchs are directly tied to failures of govt to regulate.
It's freedom of speech. Being able to say what you want and suffer the consequences of your decisions is what it is all about.
This is a good thing.
Let people say what they want. If you don't like it, you can always ignore them.
Me when I like to spread disinformation on the internet

If you don't let them speak up, how are we going to find the racists? They're all old so it's not like they just suddenly appeared when Obama was elected. They've been hiding and hidden. Bring the assholes into the light, and let's get out the dildo of consequence.
