      Oh okay, so removed are your thing… whatever, colonialism and white supremacy were examples. You can say whatever you want, dude, and you clearly have on any number of occasions. Don’t mistake us calling you out for your bullshit for suppression of your free speech. As a self-proclaimed removed, I’m guessing you probably don’t fully understand the issues you’re talking about. I’d be more likely to call you ignorant, which is fine, because ignorance can be cured.

          Well, I was making fun of your speech patterns but I would understand if the mods want to delete my comment. I think there’s at least some understanding of intent here on lemmy. You clearly either don’t understand gender dysphoria and are proud of your ignorance, or you are just legitimately transphobic. Or maybe a little bit of both. Regardless, getting moderated on an internet forum is not a violation of your free speech either. You said it, I responded to it. We’re having a conversation. Free speech. You don’t get to yell the n word in the lobby of a hotel either.

          • Free speach is a philosophical concept. Its not like freedom wasnt invented until the Americans decided to write the constitution.

            Im not gonna have this discussion rn cos frankly im sick of having it. But that being said many (socially progressive) nations have done independent studies (for the purpose of their socialised medicine) on the effectivness of said various treatments and found no statisticly significant improvement in health outcomes (self harm, suicide, depression etc).

              So is freedom of association, and there is a give and take between the two, and other rights for that matter.

              You and me both.

              I’ve seen the one from Finland? Sweden? in the 80s trotted out over and over again as if science doesn’t progress. More recent studies show that gender affirming care is extremely effective in improving mental health outcomes. Here’s just one on puberty blockers and hormones that says 60% less incidence of depression and 73% less incidence of suicidality: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35212746/.
