You are literally the "enlightened centrist" stereotype, and you are talking nonsense about trans treatment. Despite the vast majority of research showing that gender affirming care has extremely high success rates and almost all trans folks not regretting transitioning, you apparently refuse to accept that.
Worse yet, you are trying to frame your bigotry as love and care, the same way homophobic Christians claim they "love and care about gay people."
There is no such thing as a "politically neutral" position. That would imply that there is some perfect center between different views, as if political viewpoints can be narrowed down to a 2-dimensional line with "right" & "left." All views have implications for society, and everybody falls into different varying categories and schools of thought, even if they aren't aware of it.
Claiming that you don't means either you are either very ignorant to political theory and philosophy, or you are deliberately being obtuse out of some false sense of moral/intellectual superiority.
Inform yourself, or if you're a bigot, just be open about it and stop pretending you're somehow magically above or outside of political/social biases.
And he doesn't consider gender affirming care as treatment!
I never said I'm enlightened, nor do I give myself that title. Why are people quick to label on here?
You're not listening to anything I'm saying, so I'm not really interested in continuing.
I've been extremely charitable to you despite your offensive commentary with other users and myself, I've made a half-dozen points in my other comments and you haven't engaged with any of them.
You're either supremely ignorant or you are a blatant transphobe trying to pretend you're confused and innocently curious.
I've given you resources to get informed, if you're a genuine person you'll follow them. If not, then your question of why you're constantly getting banned from inclusive communities has been answered.
Thanks for commenting. Have a good one.
