Im sure you’ve read the APAs journal on it then?
apa org/practice/guidelines/transgender.pdf
A quick excerpt:
“Psycholo-gists are strongly encouraged to be cautious before deter-
mining that gender nonconformity or dysphoria is due to an
underlying psychotic process, as this type of causal rela-
tionship is rare.”
Clearly, because you’re still here whining like you’re at all relevant.
Except they were not ignored at all! They were in front of congress testifying, they were on the news, they were in the news papers, they were at the school board meetings.
They were driving school policy, laws, and led to the creation of the Ratings boards we have today. Those “self regulation rating boards” exist because of those right wing “karens”. So do the labeling laws.
I feel like some people either have rose colored glasses on, or have only read a very slanted version of events.
…exactly.
It wasn’t okay then, it’s not okay now. What are you not getting?
they got to say their piece. and when they were finished speaking, their ideas were discarded.
compared to today where dissent isnt even allowed to be voiced. THAT is the issue.
Yes this 571 post thread is everyone agreeing with each other and shaking hands respectfully
Their ideas are the basis of the ESRB and Parental Advisory labels. There are banned books from libraries and schools literally right now.
Their ideas were NOT discarded. Their ideas became the restrictive laws and labels that exist right now that you are complaining about! They are why WoW is rated. Why the game, and player conduct has to be regulated.
The entire ecosystem of ratings and rules you protest against are the direct result of those right wing “karens”. Their ideas were made into regulations and laws. Their ideas are why people sue over language and companies are risk adverse.
correct me if i am wrong, and i may well be on this one, but arent those groups unofficial, created and maintained by the industries themselves to placate the vocal minority? while the rest of us ignored them for the most part
Quite sad when it’s actually the OP doing the
My husband and I accidentally discovered this feature. We died laughing at first then played around with it to see what would get a trigger warning and what wouldn’t.
Turns out when the correct scientific term for the body type one gamete transfering pipette is mentioned a warning is triggered. However when he used correct term for the body type 2 gamete receptacle canal there was no warning. So he could refer to body type 2 part as he wished but when I referred to the body type1 body part I got censored.
Seems fair! I’m curious if others have the same experience.
If you are pro mental health then you would know that for some people the process of transitioning is recommended. In fact it was found that people that are approved and opt for that end up leading normal lives. I did a whole deep dive on this so I could be informed on the topic. And my deep dive I mean medical journals and the such.
Brother the reason is literally right above you.
Alot of people just either didnt care enough to put in the work, or didn’t put in the work and just reported to forget.
You know why GM island had the chair in the dimly light room inside gm island? specifically for things like this. They would teleport you there before things changed to just be done in whispers, and then changed again for them to have the information they needed and you just got an email saying you were suspended, why, and how to appeal if you think it’s wrong.
Before they had the tools, we had to do the work. A lot of players didn’t do the work so GMs did it for them by personally talking to you.
Now, they don’t have to do that, your chat addons and the games tech do the work that lazy players used to not do for the gms, they have your chat timestamped and know when you called someone a slur, and how many times you said it, they also know the context because your entire chat is logged and not just the snippet someone chooses to report anymore.
The industry “self regulated” to prevent the government from doing it for them. Those vocal minority folks had a lot of money and power in politics. If industry had not agreed to regulate themselves and put warnings all over things, the Govt would have done it for them. That was the “peace agreement” that came out of it.
If you think those vocal minority were discarded you are so very very wrong. It is the root of what you are upset about in WoW today.
and im not allowed to contest your assertion. which, obviously, means you must be right and i am evil. despite, you know, actually caring about the individuals who suffer, rather than the virtue signallers and surgeons profiting off of them
It is a published set of guidelines by an expert non profit with case studies used as reference with over 5 million journals. It is widely regarded as the source for modern understanding of the topic.
You don’t have the knowledge or background to contest his assertion. You are not a psychologist nor have you studied the issue in a controlled setting.
Instead of you attacking trans folks, just let them exist and work things out between their doc and themselves. I don’t have to understand something to leave it alone and let people live their lives.
Women used to be put in mental asylums for protesting, for wanting to vote, for wanting to wear pants, for wanting to work at “men’s jobs”.
So there is a lot of precedent for society not being accurate when sorting out what is reasonable on a spectrum of behavior vs what is a “disorder”.
you have no idea who i am or what i know.
You are welcome to provide peer reviewed studies that contest the assertion.
I disagree that there has been a flip flop.
The church or govt hasn’t had an uptick in censorship. the church has always been heavy handed on it.
the censorship that has grown, is typically about targeting bigotry, slurs, threats. which I feel you are saying is ok to censor. generally speaking.
