No state allowed that. He’s admitting he was a miscreant, and because he chose to abuse his body as a kid, we should allow woke parents to abuse their kids’ bodies to promote the latest woke trend.

No. A child with no gender identity issues needs to be coached and gas-lit by K-12 teachers into wondering whether deciding on their own gender may not really be as simple as they thought.

Coaching words.
Often the word “confused” are added.
It’s now pretty common to hear black students are “uncomfortable, confused, and fearful” to have white people near them . Or this trans version. LGBTQ …they have all learned to recite these words. These are prog words that progs have learned and taught others to recite.

What? So this is merely virtue signaling by conservatives. Not unexpected. At least people are bold enough to confirm it. Thanks. I guess.

Sure. Just like other conditions which are diagnosed based on signs and symptoms. PTSD, depression, anxiety. They all just need coaching. There’s no blood test or imaging study to diagnose those. They just need a strong coach to not be fearful around others or in their daily lives. I guess migraines are the same way. They just need better coaching to not be confused about headaches.
You’ve overplayed your hand… too many "uncomfortable, confused, and fearful” cards being played. It’s obvious they come now from the coaches sleeves.

I actually have been around a child that as an adult was trans. Honestly when she was young she was like any other child. She did however balk at dresses and refused the cute bikini / tankini bathing suits for board shorts and sleeved shirts for the pool. When she was a kid I thought of her as a Tom boy. Once a teenager , she came out as gay and dated girls and was very masculine in her dress, wore her hair short. When she grew up and became an adult. She started seeing a Dr and was trans. She is from a military family and her parents have always been supportive. Now he lives his life as a man and that’s no bodies business other than those he is relationships with. I hear he is happy and succcessful. He did not take puberty blockers as a teen and made all these decisions for himself.

Sure. Whatever makes conservatives feel better. They should be consistent with all the other conditions that have no objective diagnostic criteria. Next time they see someone with PTSD or depression they should suggest better coaching.
That’s great to hear. That is also not the person this is discussing. These are individuals who show consistent gender identity towards that not assigned to them at birth typically beginning at 3-5 years old and persisting into adolescence. It’s not the only path to transgender and isn’t common.
That’s odd. Conservative?
You people have swore up and down that Trump supporters are not conservatives. I’m a diehard Trump supporter. Go look for conservatives under your bed.
The idea that gender identity issues require better coaching is as conservative as it gets. Same as those that think homosexuals can be “converted” or depression is mental weakness.
Interesting ploy… tying your wagon to PTSD and depression. Well… not so interesting. But a ploy nonetheless. How many threads here have “conservatives” denying the legitimacy of PTDS and depression?
Get back to me when a prog president celebrates ptsd or depression in a cabinet member.
Complete nonsense, no such thing as acting like a girl or boy or female and male activity outside of birthing children.

Ploy? How are PTSD and depression true disorders and gender identity isn’t? How do you objectively identify and confirm one but not the others? There is no ploy, just looking for any semblance of consistency. If objective laboratory or imaging diagnosis is needed, PTSD and depression are as “fake” as gender identity issues. They should therefore be treated in kind. Prove otherwise.
Each time I read that it makes less sense. Other than birthing children, boys and girls act the same. Stunning.
My oldest daughter preferred playing with traditionally male toys when she was little, that didn’t make her a boy.

Obviously drinking is not legal in any state, but it’s encouraged by society. Just watch any teen movie or see beer advertising. Tattoos and smoking are not really encouraged, but are still widespread and there is no way of stopping them.
If puberty blockers are made illegal, it will be harder for families to obtain them. But some families definitely will be able to. Shame on anyone who would report those parents to the authorities. Mind your own business.

Miscreant? Okay Ned Flanders, have fun with your life. And being transgendered is not a trend. It’s been going on for thousands of years in many different societies.

Sure…And keep your mouth shut when men beat their wives or parents beat their children. Shame on anyone who would report those parents to the authorities. Mind your own business.
Gender identity isn’t a disorder. It’s a setting on a scale. Gender dysphoria and sexual dysphoria are disorders resulting from false interpretations of reality. The cure is a correct truthful understanding of reality.
