It seems that every community takes anything said about gender dysphoria that isn’t calling it great and beautiful and awesome, as transphobia, and the mods delete comments.

I’m wondering if there is a community for people dealing with dysphoric children that don’t get offended if something is said in honest questioning and honest debate, that doesn’t toe the politically correct line?

It’s impossible to find real help online because everyone wants to make it political. It may be political in the macro, but the micro isn’t political, and there should be room for all opinions and debate, especially when the goal is to help the person afflicted and the family to grow and be healthy in their relationships.

    What does “the politically correct line” mean to you though? That’s a very loaded phrase and you seem to be indicating that you want to say stuff that is “controversial” without expressing any of it.

    Like, Gender Dysphoria is a nuanced topic and can be felt in cis people, but there is a strong, STRONG anti-Trans effort to point at that and say “ah hah! See!” as if it somehow invalidates trans experiences.

    That’s why moderation is so harsh, because often the nuance becomes a tiny crack that actual bigots will pounce on, and argue in bad faith. I mean this sincerely, I’m an audience of one but if you are sincerely just having questions I’d be happy to speak via DM.

    But if the “politically incorrect” feeling is “I don’t think my kid is really dysphoric just confused”, that is a large part why spaces stop such discussion. Note i am not saying this is you, but as an example. This example focuses on invalidating how the child feels and dismissing it as something else. Which can be very dangerous.

    Anyways, my offer to talk stands.
