considering what they are protesting, I think you answered your own question
I think every boy has tried it at some point. Not to dress that way, but I can imagine how uncomfortable it would be

Yeah, I canât imagine tucking for hours at a time. My testicles would get squashed.
Can we be certain Target isnât, in part, changing their merchandise because theyâre losing money for some other reason, and using protestors as cover?
I canât think of a time when I tried this. I canât think of a reason why I would have wanted to either.

Buffalo Bill
That may be the reason why many people in the 90s tried it in High School.
It was definitely âa goofâ that i saw in high school and college locker rooms.

Fox News: selling pride clothes to kids bad, actual child abuse old news, not worth covering.
Iâm not certain this is the best thread for this, but I didnât quickly see a better already-existent thread.
Operative phrases appear to be âpassed for the impermissible purpose of chilling free speechâ and âunconstitutionally vague and substantially overbroadâ.

Loneliness and Social Isolation among Transgender and Gender Diverse People
Persons with transsexualism, after sex reassignment, have considerably higher risks for mortality, suicidal behaviour, and psychiatric morbidity than the general population. Our findings suggest that sex reassignment, although alleviating gender dysphoria, may not suffice as treatment for transsexualism, and should inspire improved psychiatric and somatic care after sex reassignment for this patient group.
Shouldnât they be comparing to those who didnât undergo treatment? I would figure there should be some improvement

Hopefully there is, but i think the premise is surgery alone isnât sufficient and ongoing care is necessary (at a population level).
Seems like it could be in studies with obvious results. My fear is that a headline like that could be used as fodder for people who want to dispute the value of the treatment, then use that as justification for banning it.

Good point.
But isnât it a reason for disputing the value of the treatment?
Of course, one study does not an argument make. I just wonder if we donât realize the general long-term implications of permanent transgender decisions. What percentage of the population is jumping on the bandwagon and making a short-sighted decision. Even though I personally am not pro-LGBTQ I would still treat people with respect. Our polarized nation has a lot of people pushing a LGBTQ agenda every chance they get, and then there is the far right which is too eager to lash out at something they disagree with. I wish we could meet in the middle, and I was curious what responses this article would generate.

Can you expand on the definition of this?

Not by itself, no. If HRT makes rates of suicide attempts drop from 22% to 15% (ballpark of estimates Iâve seen from surveys), then we may say that HRT is not sufficient by itself but is definitely a valuable treatment.

Can you?
To be treated the same (rights and respect) as cis-gender, heterosexual people. Thatâs what I interpret their agenda to be.

Not at all.
Drawing that conclusion from that study makes zero sense, unless you are inserting some absurd transphobic bias.
Donât you mean, drawing that conclusion from that study makes zero sense, even if you are inserting some absurd transphobic bias?
I think the study is meaningless without knowing the outcomes of untreated people. The reason people undergo sex reassignment is usually because they are miserable. Thereâs an incredibly high suicide rate of transgender people who arenât treated.
Itâs like saying that 10% of people exposed to flu who take tamiflu catch the flu anyway, without asking how many of those exposed who didnât get tamiflu came down with flu.
