I would say they’re useful for peace of mind and better understanding of the self. But also for interacting with other people since saying you’re autistic is a lot easier for people to understand than explaining how you work. Lastly if you’re low functioning autistic a diagnosis can also qualify you for disability benefits. I personally saw a major improvement in my life from that last point.

1·3 months agoTotally agree. No one ever said they were smart long term thinkers. Late stage capitalism doesn’t exactly reward that kind of thinking after all.

Canada@lemmy.ca•BC Bill M-216: Canada's worst anti-trans legislation thus far, but is it Canadian?English
1·5 months agoOk so the question I replied to was essentially is it safe for kids under 18. The answer is yes.
In terms of consent. Kids cannot just consent and then be given HRT. Parents of kids cannot just consent and then have their kids put on HRT. Doctors cannot just consent and put kids on HRT.
There is a process in which kids are thoroughly assessed and then with parental consent put on puberty blockers for 1-2 years maximum. Puberty blockers are not HRT to be clear. They are also safe and the kids are monitored by doctors and have regular check ups and psychiatric evaluations. If the children persist by the end of the 1-2 year observation period they are then, with consent from all parties put onto HRT.
The whole process is very thorough to ensure that kids who aren’t actually trans don’t get put on HRT. Consent by the parents, kids and doctors is required throughout the entire process.
This isn’t simple self report and get medicated it is a very thorough process.
Please do a basic google search. This info isn’t difficult to find.

11·5 months agoHRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) is not some unnatural medication treatment. It’s literally just estrogen or testosterone depending on which gender is being transitioned to. Everyone has testosterone and estrogen. Kids go through puberty as a normal part of growing up.
Typical puberty is not dangerous and HRT causes the same kind of puberty meaning it’s not dangerous
HRT induced puberty is the exact same as typical puberty.

If you have a choice whether you wanted to have it or not, and you choose not to act. That in and of itself is you making a call as to what outcome you prefer. You are therefore responsible.
Choosing not to act is still a choice own it. You would choose to let 5 people die instead of 1 so that you don’t have to feel responsible but you are. You are putting your emotions over the lives of others.
There is such a thing legally speaking as gross negligence. You chose not to act and a worse outcome happens when you had the ability to stop it. Your argument would never hold up in court.
You can try to claim moral superiority all you like but in the end it’s just an excuse to allow you to put your feelings over the lives of others.
As a Canadian I’m am disappointed and disgusted by the selfishness of the US populace both left and right in different ways. Get off your high horse and own your decisions. The time for change is at the grassroots level. Stop with your mememe “morality” and do something beyond the absolute minimum of voting if you even did that.
Fix your shit American sorry not sorry
