The post you're replying to is very well thought out, and you're just saying that they're "misrepresenting data." Please be more specific than that, because right now you are not very convincing and they are.
Edit: I am positive this thread is being brigaded now, probably with alt accounts from this Amby person. They get upvoted in waves, not gradually like how everyone else has been. Pretty pathetic if you ask me.
I don't really feel compelled to engage with such a bad-faith argument but i'll humor you a bit.
Followed by 2 links that... don't talk about suicidal ideation but instead about no longer feeling dysphoric.
And then the poster goes on to claim that somehow this reduces suicidal ideation in children who may be trans. This entire section does nothing to address the fact that reaffirming a trans child's gender does, in fact reduce suicidal ideation in trans children. Obviously If a child isn't trans, they won't feel suicidal if they're not allowed to transition.
Just because a thought is well worded and lengthy, does not mean it's worth listening to.
But just because you don't think it's worth listening to, doesn't mean it should be banned.
Ban outright spammers and attackers like this - https://lemmy.world/u/darknightfggot (I don't know if his posts are still visible, I blocked him) but don't try to ban ideas just for apparent wrongthink.
If you want to be free to post bigotry as long as you use polite-sounding language and write long posts, Reddit and HN will be glad to have you.
