  • NPR had a segment about this the other day.

    Part of the issue with removing the nuts (gonadal tissue?) Is that these people have major issues with bone density and other sex hormone related problems whereas the risk of cancer is similar to any male getting testicular cancer.

    They aren’t given a choice because the surgery happens at a young age, yet they have to bear the medical consequences.














  • I think it’s valid to make these kinds of decisions, in the future if there are more popular instances that end up being defeated but don’t create any obvious issues then maybe it would be best to have a community discussion or at least take into account various opinions. That’s not to say a loud minority should be catered to, and ultimately if that instance is incredibly valuable to that subset of users perhaps they can migrate to said instance or move to another that has not chosen to defederate.
