    Except it’s a strawman. Plenty of people are upset about over medication of children. As one of those children, kindly STFU and don’t speak for us.

      As one of those children, have you witnessed fetishising of people who have had puberty blockers? Or is that class of predator rare and without influence?

      Yeah I’m reading this and I’m like “I’m actually very much against both of these examples……” the sports shit with kids in general is insane and it’s just to help them stand out for capitalism reasons, which is also why mainstream people don’t see anything wrong with it, capitalism has footed the bill of normalizing genuinely bad things like turning kids sports from a fun way to make friends to a literal job with overbearing schedules and physically inappropriate levels of activity for young bodies and joints.

      As one of those children

      Hey, just a heads up that admitting you are a minor online isn’t a good idea for lots of reasons, and that a number of lemmy instances will ban you for it (as they’re officially 16 or 18+ by instance rules) rather than accepting having to deal with all the various complicated laws about handling the data of underage users.

        I was one of those children, Einstein. Think about how old I would have to be to be one of the overly medicated ADHD kids when that mostly happened in the 90s and early 2000s.

        Get your white knight ass out of here.

          Don’t come at me for missing context you didn’t include. You said nothing about the over medication of ADHD in your comment.

          It’s right there. You can check it.

          I’m sorry they didn’t hold you back enough for you to learn proper communication or emotional regulation. That must be tough.
