Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

MODERATORS
No, just trying to have a conversation.
You guys get to share your opinions and thoughts, even though you aren't doctors.
You're claiming something is flat out not medically necessary when you clearly do not have the knowledge to make that call. Your opinions cost people their lives.
My opinions cost nobody their life?
I said it's not medically necessary because there's not a physical imbalance that needs to be fixed, like the syndrome the person I was responding to used as a comparison.
A person with gender dysphoria will not have physical problems, like the people with the syndrome mentioned would.
That's all I was getting at. Whether you consider medically necessary to include their distress over a mental disorder, was something I wasn't touching on.
My only opinion that's really relevant is that I don't think minors should be allowed to transition. At no point did I say trans folk should be harmed or berated in the street or whatever else I'm being accused of.
yikes
I've done nothing except share words online. You need to get over yourself.
Take your own advice and stop being so worried about the genitals of strangers.
Do you not see how egregiously you are overstepping boundaries here?
