gender affirming care

A polite euphemism for the mutilation and sterilisation of people with healthy bodies but a broad range of psychological problems, many of whom are children. As advocated by useful idiots and the genuinely psychotic denizens of the entertainment industry.

Usually accompanied by specious arguments about how late-stage cancer drugs are perfectly ok to give to kids "off-licence" (as if we'd give someone chemotherapy for a cold) or myths about high rates of suicide that are supposedly being prevented by this form of eugenics.

Absolute loon: "Protect trans kids by giving them gender affirming care!"
Sane rational person: "Why are you chopping healthy breasts and genitals off kids?"
Absolute loon: "Because otherwise they'll all commit suicide. FACT (which it must be because I WROTE IT IN CAPS!!)"
Sane rational person: "Do you have any evidence to back up this specious claim on which your argument rests?"
Absolute loon: "You're an abusive Terf Nazi bigot who wants to genocide all trans people!"
Sane rational person: "I'll take that as a 'no' then"

educate yourself

An instruction to people on the Internet (and occasionally in real life if you're into being slapped) to go away and read unspecified literature until such time as they agree with your point of view entirely.

Normal person: "Israel isn't racist, men can't be women, curriculums don't need 'decolonizing'"
Critical social justice loon: "educate yourself you fascist"
