    Clearly trolling at this point.

    Trolling for sure. Apparently keeping your male appendages intact isn't such a high priority among pre-teen boy parts in your world. It is in my world. Boys should be allowed to be boys.

    Your understanding of the process has already been shown to be wrong. If that doesn’t bother you then there’s not much reason to continue.

    Covid 19 aside, Americans are getting sicker by the day. The thing of it is, they like it. They think that caving to every perverted impulse is progress, and that vacating standards and absolving themselves of responsibility to those standards is freedom. Only now they are prisoners of their own foolishness and willfulness. And they don't give a rats behind what negative effect their behavior has by example on children.

    Are these blockers simply delaying it or are they doing any lasting effect? At 18 (or the age of maturity in your nation) will the person be as they would have been had these drugs never been used?

    We've had this discussion before in other threads. The answer is not so simple. Some things are simply delayed, but other things will not exactly go back to normal if the wait is too long. There can be effects on gender-related bone shape proportions and bone densities. Being on blockers throughout puberty can result in a micropenis, since the genitalia never had an opportunity to develop and grow properly. Many persons who go on blockers throughout puberty will have a little bit more of a gender neutral appearance for the rest of their life, even if everything else later goes back to normal.

    2 years on blockers probably isn't going to do any giant lasting damage, but 4 or more years on blockers, between the ages of 11 to 18, is likely to have some permanent effects. The permanent effects will be entirely correlated to how long the teen is on them.

    I wouldn't consider sexual abuse of children trivial.

    And I do not consider effective anyone who just wants to sit around making allegations instead of choosing to act

    When you are sterilizing children and encouraging them to bed in a demographic with a 40% suicide rate. I consider that child abuse.

    I highly doubt that you did. While I don't doubt that you noticed that you were equipped with the Factory Standard Mark I Penis, I'm reasonably certain that you didn't decide anything.

    If anything, the fact that you came from the manufacturer equipped with a "thingie" means that your parents were calling you a boy since day one and you grew to understand that you were a boy. They kept calling you one therefore you are one.

    However you are likely one of the many people out there whose mental gender matched their physical one. That you understood that everyone called you a boy because you had a "Doodle", and as you developed along in life, you understood the concepts behind "boy" and felt "Yeah, that's me."

    Transgendered people don't have that advantage. They're born with a certain configuration of wedding tackle, they're called one gender or the other based off of that configuration, but as they develop, they realize that whatever they feel like mentally, it does not match up with the external characteristics. That's the difference between you and them.

    As for Pantene, I think they could have done a far better job. Hell! I use Pantene products and I'm a guy internally and externally. They make good product that works at keeping my hair from getting too oily and my scalp too dry (an ongoing problem as I fix one, the other gets out of hand). Perhaps instead of Lesbian couple with a transitioning offspring, they could have had it as a heterosexual couple with a child. Or...just advertising it as being a product that works well for everyone...Male, Female, Trans, Whatever.

    I wonder if intersex people resent the trans appropriating their medical condition for their ideological purposes.

    I bet they resent more the erasure practiced by trans phobes when they say there are only two genders.

    Just pandering their wokeness, all the rage today, but over the top to be sure, if I were the CEO somebody's ass would be on the carpet.

    Nothing wrong with brands catering to specific crowds. It makes them money and provides representation for demographics that might not see it otherwise.
