My parents unfortunately weren't loving, they were incredibly restrictive and my father did beat me once with a whip, thankfully though that got them taken away from me (I think he even had to go to jail for a few days because of it). I know I got lucky though, if I didn't I probably would've had to stay with them until I turned 18.

Funny because my parents wanted to mutilate me (intersex correction surgery) for not looking like a normal [binary gender removed] kid. They were very conservatives by the way, I'm so happy they didn't have health insurance when I was born otherwise they probably would've gotten their way. They also could barely keep a roof over my head (both figuratively and literally) and my father whipped me on time for being too tired to plow with him after walking 3 miles home from school in the rain. Though it was lucky because that got them taken away from me.

Indeed it does, it is unfortunate that people in the world can be so cruel but that's all the more reason we should stick up for others.

I don't even understand what you're trying to say here, first of all no one is pushing kids to go kill themselves except the people who make fun of those who are different and also make fun of people who do kill themselves. Though like @I_hate_you_welcome@feddit.nl said it takes empathy to see that, which you clearly lack.

No one said we are tolerant. A lot of tolerance = degeneracy.

That argument can be used here, too much tolerance of what could be considered violent or abusive behavior indeed does lead to degeneracy, it leads to more people being violent or abusive in that way. Making fun of people who kill themselves very much falls under that umbrella.

Pushing and promoting children to potentially ruin their life with castration chemicals isn’t in our principals.

Yeah, that's why HRT and Surgery isn't used on minors, in some cases they'll administer blockers which delay natural changes without causing permanent damage, they can either go through it naturally when they're older or transition then. If they are forced to go through it naturally when they are younger though they'll have a harder time doing it when they're older, which is why we use blockers, to give them time.

All your arguments seem to be based on the idea of children transitioning which essentially never happens until people come of age (unless they do it DIY, which is very dangerous and certainly not endorsed).
