But you still won’t party with Neo Alec.
Never ever.

Yeah that’s old news.
This is how a SJW rationalizes liking something they believe would otherwise be beneath them
They cloak it in virtue that exposes their narcissism.
You are amongst the worst people to ever post at this site.
Another Taiso post that goes straight to the sig.
As you said, trans people are a tiny minority, so naturally there's a lot of ignorance when it comes to the subject. The whole sports debate is one of the major ways in which that ignorance manifests. Pretty much all of the sports-related "advantages" provided by testosterone evaporate after a couple years of HRT, so that's really a non-issue in the vast majority of cases. HRT just needs to be made a requirement for trans athletes to participate in the appropriate gender category. The few remaining issues can easily be addressed via dividing athletes into weight/height classes.I see Biden has decided to elevate gender identity above sex.
Can women's sport survive long term under these pressures?
Can women survive long term under these pressures, come to think of it?
How are such a tiny minority group effecting so much sweeping change?
Seems to be working out well so far actually. Thankfully, most people understand that civil rights are civil rights, and that number just keeps growing.Yeah, this is no different than the end of slavery. Have fun arguing that.
Civil rights are civil rights, but there are fucking levels to things. Comparing those two is like the idiots comparing mandatory masks to the Jews being forced to wear gold stars in nazi-occupied Europe.Seems to be working out well so far actually.

In case it wasn't obvious, I wasn't equating any of those things. I was comparing the reactions and excuses people were making against social progress and civil rights. The mask thing isn't even in the same universe, since that isn't discrimination based on an inherent trait. The only thing being anti-mask has in common with anything else I mentioned is that there's no logical argument to support it, like how there's no logical argument for being anti-LGBT or anti-desegregation or anti-suffrage.Civil rights are civil rights, but there are fucking levels to things.

I think it might have something to do with all the unjust discrimination that they still have to endure. But I do agree that banning stevenk might serve as an important first step in the right direction.Then why are they (them?) taking up so much intellectual bandwidth in society? Roughly 1/200 US adults identify as trans. So this issue is approximately 1/200th as important as issues that affect everyone. So basically, stop wasting my bandwidth with this crap!
Ban stevenk plz.
Oh, no big reason honestly. I was just looking through the last few pages of threads since I don't browse the forums as often as I used to. I was bored and this thread caught my eye, so I figured "eh, why the hell not?".I’m just curious what prompted the bump by Poison Sama.
Now,
One of our good friends has decided their daughter is now a "they". "they" is not even a teenager, and now this topic has become real. They was definitely not a traditional feminine girl. Where im conflicted is how this child came to this conclusion. was it coached, or is this child really struggling with identity?... I question certain aspects when she is advertising this on social media with her 12 yr old child. Maybe she's proud, or maybe it's an agenda. That is not my business i guess, but I struggle with the biology when these same children are being given drugs for off-label use of stopping puberty.
What are the professional medical organizations saying and or recommending with regard to the use of hormone based drugs (HRT, etc) in children?
What are the ethics of this?
I am aware of the medical diagnosis of gender-dysphoria, does that still play a factor or is it a diagnosis that will be phased out?
Exactly, and I tend to wonder if all of this is stemming from the nativity on the child's part, social media facilitating a like-minded acceptance group, coupled with the parent's willingness to give in to pressure due to how they themselves may be judged or labeled. If it proves easier to medicate your child with hormones rather than stand up publicly and look out for their well-being until they are actually able to make a life changing decision, these "parents" are akin to Munchausen syndrome by proxy.But kids are still developing physically, hormonally and mentally.
With this topic and others, I tend to remain silent because there is no path to discussion. It's one sided. either you agree or you are a bigot.
