"So Kitten may have been legitimately ignorant on *that* point, but you just pulled the wool away from her or his eyes (not sure what they are, actually)."

Oh yeah, I think people in the trans bubble are legitimately ignorant on lots of points. Child transition, the dangers of puberty blockers, the number cases of sexual assault carried out by "female penises" the fact that they go silent when I show the proof of this stuff (usually after confidently telling me it's not true) shows they probably didn't know.

So yeah, they're not (always) lying when they say ThAt NeVeR hApPeNs!!, they just close their eyes and ears the instant new and potentially challenging information comes along. That's why the word "transphobia" gets so much mileage. It's a handy shorthand to tell everybody else in the bubble, "Don't look at this, it's true and makes us look bad."

Sadly, that means nobody takes it seriously anymore when it's used to point out genuine bigotry.

You will read again and again, over and over, that post-transition regret and detransitioning are both uncommon. The activists will trot out this lie on every quarter hour, that getting body parts sliced off leads to elevated liefelong euphoria.

That's because those who end up regretful or suicidal drop out of contact with the clinics, who do nothing to maintain accurate longterm data. And why should they? It's all about enriching the shareholders. Neutering children is big business.

More on why the data are so stinking lousy:

Yes, people ignore evidence they don't like, the woke are every bit as bad as the science cherry-picking I encountered from fundamentalist Christians back in the day. That other stuff is *illegitimately* ignorant. My point was that for the time being, many in the trans cult are legitimately ignorant now because the systematic evidence reviews out of Europe are only beginning to arrive on our shores, with the medical profession and 'scientific' magazines sloooooowly beginning to acknowledge that maybe it's not, you know, 100% accurate what they've been telling parents and everyone else.

Or even 10%.

But, I will give the tranzies about two more months to remain in their bubble, then I expect them to know this and will no longer call it 'legitimate' ignorance.
