It’s amazing how much damage you guys are comfortable to virtue signal over 0.0001 of the population.

That’s the thing. I don’t accept that teaching kids about gender does any damage to them. In fact, all evidence suggests the opposite.

As far as I’m concerned, this argument is as logically flawed as the idea that gay marriage would destroy heterosexual marriage, or that black people in the military would destroy the Army.

I don’t care how you feel, I am just correcting your hyperbole.

So again - what Tommy said:

(snip quote)

It’s easy to toss away all political principles, when you build yourself an emotional enough boogeyman.

Now, if this law passes in Ohio, when a kid wants to play sports, any other parent can now legally challenge them, and they’ll need to get a doctor’s note describing their genitals if they want to play.

So again – what I said:

@Guvnah

Libs push insanity, and when some entity acts to oppose it, the response becomes the problem for libs.

[DougBH]

Ok. That law is obviously geared to resolve a situation where someone is pretending to be a sex other than the sex they are.
Don’t recall that being an issue when I was in school.

When idiots and the insane get their way in demanding others participate in their crazy…

… or what Happens when the Left eats their own.

“Ellingsen’s charges are centered around her questioning why FRI promoted the belief that men could be lesbians. While police are still investigating, if she is found guilty, Ellingsen could face a prison sentence of up to three years.”

That’s what they want here too.

A Norwegian feminist could be facing up to three years in prison for allegedly “hateful” tweets directed at a male who claims to be a lesbian woman.

^^^^^^^^^ the perfect example ^^^^^^^^^^^^

It potentially adds confusion to something that isn’t confused and could be very damaging to them. The fact that you’re not in tune to this simply adds fuel to this possible fire.

I disagree. I’ve seen absolutely no evidence that any of this is true.

I was raised knowing all about gay people and trans people. So were most of the people I know. We all turned out alright.

More importantly, out of the trans people I know, the few who were accepted and supported by their families, schools and friends lived led infinitely better childhoods than the ones who were abused and rejected for being trans.

I’m not an expert but when I consider the suicide rate of transgenders, gays and heterosexuals…especially at this young age, it puts clarity to the potential damage being done. The majority of “transgenders” is environmental, not genetics and it’s introduced by confused adults in their lives.

Yeah even cross-dressers weren’t treated. . .great back in the day. To put it mildly.

@Smyrna

Then consider the suicide rate of transgender, gays and heterosexuals and it should clarify the potential damage being done.

The suicide rate of trans people who aren’t abused or rejected by their families, and instead supported - is more than 10x lower than the suicide rate of trans people who are instead rejected by their families and friends.

It’s not being trans that makes them suicidal - it’s the alienation and discrimination they face, and the lack of support that’s causing them to commit suicide.

We are well aware.

This is all nonsense. Talk to a trans person.

It’s really that simple.

Then regulate those procedures based on age.

I probably would have been labeled a boy in a girl’s body in today’s standards.

I rejected all that was “Girley” and beat to my own drum.

If climbing a tree was fun, that was where I’d be. If learning tap dancing was fun, that was where I’d be.

I do believe that folks don’t understand that people are individuals and everyone is unique.

Why is everyone trying to pigeon hole a person so that they are confused on their identity?

No…it isn’t simple and your take is shared by many who have no clue to the damage being done because all they can see is the fake “V” on their foreheads when they look at themselves in the mirror. This is very dangerous to our children and positively shameful there are so many fools among us.

[DMK]

@zantax

If those decisions include things like cutting off their breasts or making them infertile with hormone therapy, damn straight. Real question there is how anyone has gotten away with it in the first place.

Yeah, that is something that can not be reversed. There are going to be a lot of kids who were wronged. IMO, anyone who wants to do this to a person under the age of consent is a pervert.

[DMK]

@tnt

Then regulate those procedures based on age.

If they are currently legal with consent of parents, what right does the government have investigating anyone partaking of those services?

Welp, for one it is abuse. Do you think that parent’s who consent to this are in their right minds?

[DMK]

@tnt

The sudden increase more likely indicates an acceptance of a previously hidden reality.

No, it really does not.

My take is shared by most people who, in their lives, know and care about trans people.

It is no different than homophobia or racism - the fastest and most effective cure for either is experience. Racism and homophobia both become difficult to maintain when you have friends you care about who are of other races or gay. The same is true here.

Dick Cheney and his family are perfect examples of this.

Remove the ignorance, remove the prejudice.
