I mean, to answer their question, yes.

I suspect they were well aware of that and were being tongue-in-cheek.

Well, I'm glad you at least recognize that your solution to bigotry is not practical. I agree that it's a moral ideal, but morality to my mind depends at least as much on effect as intention, which is where practicality comes in, and the fact that showing "unearned compassion" to bigots, at least in the way I typically seem to see that interpreted, just emboldens them and makes life worse for everyone else. The most extreme example of this is, as alluded to, Chamberlain's appeasement of Hitler, but we see the same thing play out on a smaller scale frequently.

Most people who discuss morality with any frequency will probably tell you that whether or not you know the outcome of an action ahead of time does impact its morality. So I would argue, because we know that showing bigots "unearned compassion" rather than societally refusing to tolerate their behavior invariably has a net negative impact on those who are the targets of their bigotry, that would render it not the moral ideal we might like it to be.

Please observe the paradox of tolerance.

Good call. Yeah, as far as I know, FSA doesn't have that problem right now, but still, any way somebody might hear about it.

Wait, did I misunderstand you the whole time? Are you actually saying that the problem with puberty blockers is that they block puberty? Did you somehow miss where that's literally the entire point of them?

Also, repeating the same claim you just made again while ignoring the authoritative source I just provided that contradicts it is some shit I see creationists doing. Not a good look. If you support trans people, like you say in your next comment, then why are you arguing this in the same way someone who doesn't support trans people would?

They're more reversible than suicide.

But sure, I hear you, that doesn't actually answer the question. So here's an authoritative source on the matter. To drastically hyper-over-simplify, they basically are.

Well, I'm no medical professional, but medical professionals have been prescribing puberty blockers for other things for decades, and if they were as dangerous as all that, then you'd think the FDA would have banned that by now.

Besides which, access to treatments like those ones are documented to reduce rates of self-harm, including suicide, among kids with gender dysphoria. And if your metric is the body turning out like it would have without these treatments, well, I hope I don't need to fill in the blank for you.

I can find no sources on this that aren't just Elon tweeting about it, and Elon's tweets are about as reliable as a gingerbread space station. If his tweets are enough for you to believe it, then no wonder you're also wrong about everything else you've said.

Fuckin do it, Elon. Double dog dare ya.

It's not Chrome, and it does everything I want.

If their jobs were that easy to automate, do you really think the automakers would just be threatening it? Do you know literally a single thing about economics?

polyjuice potion does change your voice though, when harry and ron turn into crabbe and goyle in book 2 they specifically speak in their voices

Then don't start shit you can't finish.
