You rely on controversial and highly disputed data as well, and I could go find plenty of people on the interwebs that say to medically trans any kid who says they are trans. I don't get your point.

Are you still in the hospital?

Another support of "we" is, when discussing the game, it seems that myself and the folks I'm talking to generally use "we/us" for our team and "they/them" for the other team. Something like, "they played good defense, but we had plenty of scoring opportunities."

That's not hate speech.

Wow, that's tiny! Ours is at least 20 pounds, bigger than a lot of dogs I see around here.

I know... also I just read that if they get this overturned, the 15 week ban goes into place. That was a law passed 10 years ago, but which oddly says that it doesn't supersede the 1864 law. People blame our state supreme court, but they were just doing their job. This is for the legislature to figure out, like SCOTUS wanted. Also, this saddens me: But it looks like it should pass the Senate and I'm glad Hobbs said she'd sign it. I was afraid she'd find a way to nix it, because if the 1864 law is in place, the "abortion until birth" constitutional amendment would almost definitely pass. https://www.aol.com/arizona-takes-major-step-toward-222100680.html

Hopefully the Senate can get it passed and we can put in a reasonable law.

If they end up indicting Trump here, that would be a big mistake for Team Blue, as it would likely launch him into winning the state. Should be interesting to watch, though.

Well, not exactly. I did some googling. You can find websites like GLAAD that link to all of the 3- and 4-letter lobbying/administrative medical groups like the AMA who strongly oppose state laws preventing evidence-based gender care (understandable, since they share your view that a one-size-fits-all law is bad and prevents them from practicing medicine). These groups are basically like union heads protecting the rights of their constituents. The AMA (run by an openly LGBTQ man btw) further points to a clinical guide by the Endocrine Society (Endocrine = hormones) "supporting" such care. But from the guide: https://www.endocrine.org/clinical-practice-guidelines/gender-dysphoria-gender-incongruence What you don't understand Tim, and I've said this before: the more advanced the degree, the more the person presumes (1) that everyone in their field is diligent and responsible, and (2) that they absolutely completely defer to people in adjacent field. So in this case, the Endocrine Society, along with saying a big NO to hormone treatment for pre-pubescence, is presuming an expert multi-disciplinary team has thoroughly vetted the patient, and continues to manage it through the experience. Endocrinology's job is to safely and effectively administer the hormones, not to worry about the other stuff. So IMO this is not far off from where we started. I'm open to continuing how things were before the social contagion and woke acceptance of self-diagnosis took over. If they do the things laid out above, I do not object to it. But they aren't, and that's the problem.

Thanks. I've seen summaries, but I don't think I've read the full report.

Sorry, I can't do that until the American trans health community learns from Europe that they went too far, that medical interventions for children should be extremely rare and only in the most severe and thoroughly analyzed cases.

But we don't know upon first meeting. I feel like I'm in an Abbott and Costello skit. And for the record, for the two people who identified as trans that I knew in my daughter's HS, I used their preferred names and pronouns du jour. (I say du jour because at least one later changed back to a boy. He came from a crap home life. Reference our earlier scientific discussion about experience/environment influencing gender). My concern, like Jordan Peterson's in Canada when he first rose to fame, is that this devolves into "hate speech" legislation, when we've just established that there is no way to pre-identify what a person wishes to be called.
