    I saw an interview from a band talking about this problem. They said it was a tough balancing act. The people there live want to hear the classics and don’t want new stuff. But anyone watching remotely or watching the video later already has their favorite versions of the classics and doesn’t want to hear them again, they want new stuff. You have to do both and it’s hard.



  • You’re not a bad guy, but this is kind of a bad faith argument, saying that a 14yo not being comfortable with their gender is just a phase they’ll grow out of (like any other stupid kid / teenager phase). Does it happen? sure, of course it does. But it’s not ‘just a phase’ for the VAST majority of trans pre adults. If you’re scared that someone will change their mind and keep them from doing anything until 18, then they get hit with full wrong gender puberty and change their bodies in ways they can’t undo. Most of the older trans women I know transitioned in adulthood, and it sucks to say but they still sound like a dude talking. They hate it. They wish so bad they could have been allowed to do this as early as possible. They knew exactly what was going on, but had to wait. It’s up to parents to know their kids and say are you sure? are you SURE? REALLY? yeah? ok cool let’s do this then. Why make them suffer longer?
