    Don’t know what the standards are for this science page, but unless there’s no rules here, this doesn’t fit the bill. Not science. It’s an anecdote, and one posted on fox news nonetheless. I expect a sub like this for the most part to discuss peer reviewed works.

      It’s also basically a laundry list of every talking point transphobes use. I feel very bad for the adult (not a child, as they try to paint him) here, but this is an anecdote being spun into a dishonest propaganda piece.

    Isn’t it weird how knee replacement surgery has a dissatisfactory rate 100x that of gender transition surgery but Fox News doesn’t write any articles about the millions of people that are dissatisfied with their new knees?

      Yeah it seems like there’s been a big influx. I wish they’d just go live on Truth Social or something. I don’t want to see that crap here.

    Why is this here?
    It is:

    1. Not science
    2. From a source that is the exact opposite of trustworthy.
    3. Disgusting that they’re exploiting this man…

    Wild that he blames “gender ideology” for this. “Gender ideology” didn’t make him hate himself for being an effeminate gay man. A culture of homophobia and toxic masculinity did. He thought transitioning would help him escape the toxicity of that culture and it didn’t and that’s a tragedy. But he was pressured to be something he’s not, not by “gender ideology,” because that seeks to affirm the rights of individuals to be whomever they want, but by the overbearing traditionalists who wrecked his mental health trying to make him fit into a neat gender confirming role.

      Let’s make sure we don’t just automatically believe this is real, until it is verified in some way. It would be very easy to entirely fake this, and Fox has a history of running plenty of unverified everything.
