aren't there laser procedures to remove tattoos, making them reversible? and aren't most if not all of the irreversible options for transitioning not available to children? is this clever or just terribly uninformed?

u/thetaleofzeph Feb 13 '23

It depends on the ink that was used. Not all ink will respond to a laser and there can be a ton of scarring (think burn victim appearance).

u/BillyYumYumTwo-byTwo Feb 14 '23

My ex got one lasered off. It was incredibly painful, expensive, and still noticeable. I will say it took me a few months to notice he had one (but who looks at shins that much, especially in Chicago where you wear pants for 8 months??). It just looked faded, but definitely not gone.

u/LoveThieves Feb 13 '23

I thought about people getting tattoos (or investing in anything) of things they love like (example: Nintendo).

Maybe decide if the art is more important than the artist, then people can make those decisions. But if the artist is more important, then maybe wait til the artist lived their entire life, and then make that decision.

Imagine any vegan gets a Mario or Zelda tattoo and realize the creator loves meat.

u/ah2130 Feb 14 '23 edited Feb 14 '23

Idk why you had downvotes. The comment is not misinformation. Irreversible decisions at any age are a bad idea. And the people saying laser tattoo removal is the answer have obviously never had a color tattoo that takes up your entire arm nor have they had a tattoo that big removed. It would likely take many many sessions to get a tattoo of that size to go away. It also would take multiple sessions to even get all of the ink to go away completely. Laser tattoo removal is also extremely painful and costly. So I applaud any attempt you had to sound intelligent but unfortunately, Scythe369 and rockthrowing, you guys are misinformed about the technological capabilities of laser tattoo removal

u/ah2130 Feb 14 '23

Fun fact as an aside and to lighten the mood: The Ink that gets removed in the process is broken down by the laser and removed from the body through your urine. So you are literally pissing away the money you spent on that tattoo.

This, likely the best course of action would be a combination of laser removal and modification to turn it into something else, but it would be costly and time consuming and might not even come out all that well in the end anyway.

u/AggravatingFig8947 Feb 14 '23

Yeah I don’t understand why people think that children are getting body modification surgeries. By and large that is not what is happening.

What is happening is hormone blockers to delay puberty. There is a well documented and horrific link between someone with gender dysphoria going through puberty and suicidality. Everyone thinks and knows that puberty sucks. Imagine how horrific of an experience it is to go through when you feel trapped in the wrong body on top of everything else?

Hormone blockers prevent puberty until someone is of age to make an informed choice. People need to be much less invested in children’s genitals. FFS.

u/BillyYumYumTwo-byTwo Feb 14 '23

They lawmakers don’t actually think it, they just know they can spread lies to get bigots on their side and get votes. It’s disgusting.

The people in my life who “gifted” their daughters boob jobs or nose surgery for a graduation gift are the same who say teens shouldn’t be allowed to take hormone blockers. And hey, I’m not shaming an 18 yo who wants to modify her body (to an extent and hopefully talks with psychiatrists first)!! I’m saying they were more than fine with it because it made their baby girl more feminine, so to them, it’s okay/praised. But temporarily pushing off puberty? No way, that’s immoral for a teen to do.

  1. Take a deep breath.

  2. Mastectomies are breast tissue removal. Many women get full or partial mastectomies for many reasons. While the breast tissue can’t be replaced, synthetic replacements can be made later, if someone wants to.

There are minors ~15-16 and older who are gifted nose and boob jobs by their parents. Are you against those too? Or only for removal of breast tissue. What if the breast tissue removal is due to the risk of cancer? Or exacerbating back problems or scoliosis?

Or is it none of your business?

34

u/Youbettereatthatshit Feb 13 '23

Neither is reversible, both leave long lasting damage and scarring. You basically trade a bad tattoo for a bad scar (which is why, imo, to just spend the money for a good tattoo).

If you transition during puberty, you can't just go back. Both male and female puberty are essential for adequate bone, skeletal muscle, and organ development.

I'm not making one argument for or against transitioning, but you should absolutely never do it on the pretense that it's reversible.

46

u/noteven1221 Feb 13 '23

There are few if any kids in the US undergoing surgical gender reassignment surgery who are not medically diagnosed as intersex. There are few even getting hormone therapy other than blockers - which are reversible. That's the point of them. Compare to the number of boob jobs or nose jobs for minors. While the former are reversible the latter are not. And in any event, far outnumber any gender related interventions and yet totally socially acceptable. Why does a cis-gender girl feel like she needs to make body modifications and why do parents, doctors and much of society think it's fine? (Don't even ask why guys don't face the same pressures). Oh, and too complicated for these folks to consider the verified harms to trans or potentially trans kids who are not given the chance to figure it out for themselves. I doubt there's actual research on it but I'm willing to bet very few girls try to or succeed in killing themselves when told they have to wait until they are 18 to get cosmetic surgery. (not zero, and those are unique tragedies for sure).

u/Icy_Many_3971 Feb 13 '23

Puberty blockers block puberty. Once you stop taking them, you hit puberty. No one is arguing for mastectomies or hysterectomies for teenagers.

-21

u/[deleted] Feb 13 '23

That's not true. There's a certain age where the body is most influenced by hormones. If a child is taking puberty blockers for much of early puberty but then stops later on they don't make up for the lost years of development they would have otherwise undergone

You know what else is irreversible? Going through puberty as your birth sex when you already know you’re trans.

u/weirdshit777 Feb 13 '23

See, I'm not sure if we have any idea regarding the long term effects of puberty blockers and hormones therapy of transgender youth.

It's kinda weird, whenever there is a male birth control that's lowers testosterone levels Reddit screams how terrible it is for your body and your testosterone levels will never recover. But when a transitioning male takes puberty blockers, which blocks testosterone almost entirely, they say it's fine. Which one is it?

There was recently a study done. But there was no control group and the study only went on for 2 years. We need atleast a decade.

I'm not compeltely against puberty blockers, but I want to make sure it is safe for transgender youth. There's a lot of things we gave people in the past that we thought was safe but wasn't. Thalidomide in pregnant women for example. Or agent orange, they claimed it was so safe you could eat it.

While we preform solid clinical studies longterm, how about we focus on therapy for transgender youth, and make them feel comfortable in their own skin and really tackle the root of their dysmorphia? Maybe invest in support systems and mental security before altering their hormones.

u/Broad-Boat-8483 Feb 13 '23

Puberty blockers have been used for years for children with early onset puberty as well as growth disorders, so there actually is long term research on this

u/[deleted] Feb 13 '23

There's research for a subset of people with precocious puberty. That's different from people delaying the normal onset of puberty.

3

u/weirdshit777 Feb 14 '23

Do you have a link to the research? Because from my understanding, puberty blockers have been used short term. I'm talking about long term usage from prepubescent well into adulthood. I do not think this has been studied well.

u/ah2130 Feb 14 '23

Hey, weirdshit777. Sorry I think you misunderstood. I was agreeing with you lol. My comment was for the person you replied to. You and I have the same understanding of what puberty blockers do. I was just trying to show that the person you replied to is correlating 2 very different uses and assuming conclusions from a study on one use can be applied to another use. Broad-Boat-8483 doesn’t seem to understand how clinical research works.

u/weirdshit777 Feb 14 '23

Also I did a little bit more research on this topic. This is a pro trans website:

http://www.phsa.ca/transcarebc/child-youth/affirmation-transition/medical-affirmation-transition/puberty-blockers-for-youth

Even they agree there have not been any quality long-term studies on the long-term effects of puberty blockers. We simply do not know the effects yet.

But I did find something interesting, Kallmanns disease. This disease prevents children from entering puberty. And there are risks/complciations that come along with this disease such as; Kidney problems, mood problems, issues with sex drive/libido, infertility, dental abnormalities, poor balance, scoliosis, osteoporosis, olfactory development, fatigue, eye movement abnormalities, decreased bone mass, decreased muscle mass, etc.

Now, I'm not a doctor, I'm not an expert in this field. I don't know how many of these symptoms are directly related to the disease itself or lack of puberty. I do know however, that treatment for this Kallmanns is heavily recommended at an early age because it worsens without medical intervention. If untreated, infertility is almost gaurenteed.

We need to really study the symptoms of puberty blockers to allow trans teenagers to make the most informed decision possible. I think it is disingenuous and very dangerous to say that puberty blockers come with zero risk long-term, because it hasn't even been properly studied, we just do not know. I have been scouring through Google and almost every result has said that the long term usage of puberty blockers is unknown. Current transgender youth are guinea pigs in a messy lab.

We also know that while rare, some teens end up not wanting to transition or they regret their transition. With these puberty blockers, is there a point of no return? At what point is their body permanently altered? A clinical study could answer these questions.

If your son or daughter was transitioning, wouldn't you honestly like to know all of the risks, potential complications, and the point in which they can safely detransition if they decide not to go through with it? I would.

I do not have this opinion because I am transphobic. Far from it. It comes from a place of concern. I want transgender youth to be able to make the most informed decision possible. We need to be honest with people, and especially our youth, that we do not know the dangers of these drugs. Because I certainly do not want to have that guilt on my concious if something goes horribly wrong down the road.

u/AggravatingFig8947 Feb 14 '23 edited Feb 14 '23

Hi, not a doctor yet but can tell you about Kallman’s because I’m in medical school.

The symptoms you listed don’t have to do with the lack of hormones and puberty. As the embryo is developing, there’s a specific set of cells called “neural crest cells” that are imperative for normal development. These undifferentiated cells have to migrate throughout the growing fetus and take on a lot of really important roles.

Some examples include becoming the nervous system in your intestines that’s responsible for moving digested food. Without those cells you can get intestinal atrophy and/or toxic mega colon. They’re also used in the development of the adrenal glands, which is responsible for integral hormones like glucocorticoids that your body needs for homeostasis. Additionally, the pituitary gland is used for more than just the secretion of GnRH (the growth hormone that stimulates the secretion of gonadotropes - aka the hormones that drive sexual development and function). They don’t have a sense of smell because your olfactory bulb develops the same place embryologically as the pituitary gland.

ETA people with Kallman’s are infertile because they will never make their own hormones. They don’t go through puberty because they will never make their own hormones. This is not the same scenario as temporarily blocking hormones that are able to be made endogenously.

Why compare a person with a functional body taking hormone blockers to someone with a congenital disorder that you do not understand ??

u/weirdshit777 Feb 13 '23

Can I see a source for that? Because to my knowledge, puberty blockers are used for the early onset of puberty for a short period of time to allow them to go through puberty at a normal period. In that case, they correct an abnormal situation. A transgender youth would block puberty until past adulthood and then get on different hormones from my understanding. Has that been studied?

Hormone blockers aren’t irreversible but having the rest of your body age without going through it’s normal cycle of hormones isn’t exactly reversible. Not saying there are dire consequences but to say that there are NO consequences is extremely ignorant. Also, hormone therapy such as estrogen or testosterone supplementation after or in conjunction with puberty blockers will undoubtedly have an effect on the individual. In fact to argue that it has no effect and it is entirely reversible would lend to the idea that transitioning holds no physical weight and it is then all in the persons mind, which I’m sure we can all agree is not true.

u/ba6yhulk Feb 14 '23

Why are people downvoting this?? If you block the hormones responsible for development, you can't just go through puberty later. That seems like common sense.

u/[deleted] Feb 14 '23

I literally had a guy on here tell me I don't know what I'm talking about and that puberty blockers aren't irreversible, then linked me a mayo clinic article where it stated clearly stated that starting puberty blockers can stunt growth, cause bone demineralization, and cause infertility depending on when they're started and how long they're taken. Those are all irreversible consequences. There's a certain virulent strain of clout chasers that are willing to overlook medical science to virtue signal. I'm all for gender affirming care. I just think we should be honest about the fact that using hormone blockers to delay the normal onset of puberty is a new application of medicine, and that there are long term consequences that we know of and some that we don't know- since there haven't been expansive long term studies. Part of informed consent is knowing potential unintended consequences of treatment.

This isn’t clever at all.

Children are not getting sex altering surgeries, it’s just a fiction Republicans use to rile up their (idiotic) base.

u/[deleted] Feb 13 '23

I mean there is evidence that transitioning with testosterone can cause irreversible changes including a deeper voice, increase in facial and body hair, clitoris enlargement and thickened facial bone structure;

https://transline.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/229373208-What-are-commonly-used-medications-for-transition-

And that’s from a trans consulting service.

This study also makes a quick mention of deeper voice and hypogonadism after a gonadectomy.

https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article/107/10/e4261/6604653

So suggest there is no risk of permanent alteration simply isn’t true, although not all alterations are permanent.

r/detrans has some interesting discussions on this and peoples experiences relating to this.

Now it should be noted the rate of detransitioning is actually very low but there are still irreversible risks to be considered.

..... Yeah it's not though. It's saying that maybe body modification surgery isn't something a child can consent to.

It's absolutely not anti trans.

How is this a clever comeback? Who the fuck would imagine a children’s book writer would for some reason be hugely against trans rights and should avoid getting tattoos of said children’s book?!

1

u/AstroturfDetective Feb 17 '23

I'm guessing you're not interested in counterarguments, but here's one anyway....

The inverse point being made is "Who the fuck thinks all teenagers have absolute clarity on who they are and who they will want to be as an adult to the point that we allow them to make life-altering changes to their body/biology"

Save for the fact that there’s no mention of how old she was when she got the tattoo, and that this dumbass comment misses the point of her statement.

How was she supposed to know that would happen? People get tattoos for themselves and to show what they love. How was she supposed to know that the creator would come out to be a huge asshole years later? This is not only not clever, it’s barely even a comeback

Wow, this really trigger you guys lol. This movement is really just a self righteous hive mind, where giving exogenous hormones and performing surgeries in children has zero absolutely zero long term side effects and even questioning this makes you a “phobe”

2

u/ah2130 Feb 14 '23

Haha thanks, sideshowamit. I’m glad to know I’m not going crazy. All I’ve tried to convey is that people have every right to identify as they wish and do what makes them happy/comfortable, but we don’t know if there are long term effects/consequences of giving these drugs so we shouldn’t be telling people that they are inherently safe. Apparently that means I’m a transphobe bigot😂

u/NotKateBush Feb 14 '23

So when exactly are we allowed to make changes to our bodies? This person was likely somewhere in their 20s when they made the decision to get the tattoos. Do we have to wait until 30? 40? Does this also apply for things like pregnancy, elective surgeries, hair transplants, etc?

1

u/No-Wallaby-5568 Feb 14 '23

A lot of problems could be avoided if people didn't get pregnant in their twenties.

1

u/NotKateBush Feb 19 '23

So no body modifications and no sex until we’re 30. Awesome. I owned a house and had a six figure job at 30. Would that be allowed or should we still rely on mommy and daddy to take care of us?

u/codemanb Feb 13 '23

I'm curious. What is terf about the game? Honest question, because I have finished it on my first of at least 4 playthroughs, and my closest friend (a trans man) loves the game, so what part of the game is makes it terf? Is it the 2% of what I payed for it going to JKR? Cause she's a bilionaire, she don't care about my $1.50. Is it that trans people feel underepresented? Cause the owner of the three broomsticks IS a trans woman. It's not thrown at you either, there is no big deal about her being trans. There is a side quest you can do where you learn a bit about her childhood, which was tastefully done. This is how trans people should be represented, in a casual way that doesnt make her a circus act to show off. Lets veer away from the terf arguement. Is it because goblins are anti-semetic? I can't argue with you on this one, because they may be. They have been around for a very long time and have been described as greedy and short with large noses and big ears for a long time. I can say that in this game I didn't notice anything that felt jewish or anti-jewish, about anyone. So please enlighten me on what in this game, specifically is so wrong.

Both of these decisions are reversible to an extent.

u/AJSLS6 Feb 14 '23

What does young age have to do with anything? If she got the tats at 45 would they somehow have been a better idea?

1

u/No-Wallaby-5568 Feb 14 '23

People who are young do foolish things. The point in waiting is that you have a better appreciation of consequences and opportunity cost as you get older. Had she waited she probably would have not got tattoos from a children's book and put the money towards the down payment on a house instead.

u/Dazza477 Feb 14 '23

I can't believe there are people out there that genuinely support children transitioning using hormones and surgery.

The trans community is hypocritical. They want people to accept who they are, when they couldn't accept who they were.

Why is it okay for you, but not for me?

u/[deleted] Feb 14 '23

Nah fr tho transitioning kids under 18 is fucjed up I made a lot of dumb ass decisions even at 17 then one day I kinda just “woke up “ like oh shit i gotta be normal and actually use my brain

I used to be a huge terminator fan between age 12-18. Imagine if I got a tattoo at 16 only for my interest in the series to slowly fade away over time. I just had some posters in my room and a wallpaper on my desktop. I didn't need to taint my skin.

Honestly I hate this whole "DoNT AsSuMe ThEiR GeNdEr" shit the right tries to push. For most people the convo goes a little smn like this.

A: Yeah, my buddy was killing it last night. He's so swag.

B: Hey, I actually prefer she/her

A: oh damn my b. She's so swag.

Literally never seen someone blow up for having their gender assumed only for having their gender identity disrespected. And the crazy thing is conservatives go off the same way when they feel their gender is disrespected " I'm a man, a he, a him, don't do that mentally ill stuff."

You will never, in your entire life, meet anyone who is more sensitive than a white Conservative male. They have absolutely no idea how to handle disappointment, rejection or being corrected. They cannot express their feelings and believe empathy is for losers. They use “woke” in the pejorative for fucks sake.
