The Real timschochet

It’s very striking how the attitudes in this thread have changed. A couple of days ago it was argued that Native Americans didn’t care at all about stuff like this, only virtue signaling white libs like myself. Now that it turns out that some Native Americans really do find this offensive they get attacked too. Which leads to the question: is a desire for freedom truly at the heart of the anti-woke movement? Or is it resentment that our society is in the process of trying to move away from the white supremacy that has dominated our entire history? I strongly suspect the latter.

The fact that they used the phrase “cultural appropriation” should instruct us that they are clearly against what the kid did. Not a stretch at all IMO.

It’s really not a conspiracy. America received pretty accurate reports of the attacks on Pearl Harbor and 9/11 well beforehand and we dismissed them as far-fetched. I’m guessing 99% of the reports warning of attacks we receive ARE far-fetched and the same goes for Israel.

Hopefully this story is nothing to concern us. But there WILL almost for sure be another very serious public heath emergency in our lifetimes, in which the key to survival of our society will be to follow the guidance of those medical experts who have spent their entire lives trying to prepare for this in order to save us- and given what happened in 2020, I honestly don’t know if we’re capable of that.

I enjoyed this a lot more when I use Daffy Duck’s voice.

I linked that article because I thought it was good writing. But you’re wrong; the amount of experts on my side of this issue are overwhelming. Yale School of Medicine: https://medicine.yale.edu/news-article/when-the-standard-of-gender-affirming-care-becomes-illegal-its-everyones-problem/ Fenway Health: https://fenwayhealth.org/new-study-undercuts-the-rapid-onset-gender-dysphoria-hypothesis/ The American Psychiatric Association: https://www.psychiatry.org/patients-families/gender-dysphoria/what-is-gender-dysphoria Columbia University Department of Psychiatry: https://www.columbiapsychiatry.org/news/gender-affirming-care-saves-lives I could go on and on. That’s just the tip of iceberg. As I wrote the overwhelming majority of experts are on my side- or, to be more accurate, I’m on their side.

I could quote you doctors and the American Medical Association and countless other medical associations around the world who do not believe this is a choice that teenagers can be talked into. Would it do any good? I trust their judgment. No offense but I seem to be having the same arguments with the same people. On this issue I trust the majority of doctors. When Covid happened I trusted the public health experts. On the issue of climate change I trust the vast majority of scientists. On the subject of the 2020 election, I trusted the reporting of the mainstream media who told me that Biden won. On each of these issues conservatives begin with skepticism and distrust of the experts. Do they do this out of a healthy skepticism? Or is it because in each case, the outcome that reality demands is displeasing to them? I suspect the latter.

I really don’t think so. But I’m very sorry about your niece. That’s terrible.

Since the Trump era began, conservatives have gotten more and more anti-intellectual. Fox News is just an embarrassment. The stupidity is really off the charts.

I’d be embarrassed to appear with Sean Hannity anywhere, so it’s possible. (Although from what I watched earlier Hannity is a genius compared to Jesse Watters. God what a moron.)

If Trump was involved, eff him. If Clinton was involved, eff him.

Not coincidence. They find each other. I’m glad of that. The ones who don’t find others are the ones who commit suicide.

Is it? I’m not even watching anymore but there’s no chance that DeSantis could ever win a debate so I doubt it. At least Newsom’s views are the right ones even if he isn’t the greatest messenger of them.

Of course they don’t approve. Because it’s racist. Thats been clear from the beginning of this discussion. It’s cultural appropriation.

You’re being misled, and lied to. It’s not a choice: https://ourtransitionallife.com/being-transgender-not-choice/

And most doctors. And the AMA.

No buddy I don’t roll that way, I don’t spend time obsessing about it either.

No that proves that more are willing to admit it, that’s all. The same numbers were always there,

You can’t talk anyone into being gay either.

This is so awful already. And Hannity is such a fraud. Not sure I can watch this for very long.

Also there is no such thing as a “trans groomer”. You cannot talk anyone into becoming a transsexual. Sorry but it’s not possible.

Then most of us will be in our wrong mind. Hopefully you too eventually.

Can’t believe anyone is cheering this guy on. He may be brilliant but what an a$$hole.

And hopefully in far less than 30 years, offensive treatment of Native Americans by sports teams, along with all other expressions of white supremacy, will be banished as part of our history, never to return.

No it really isn’t. In 30 years hopefully nobody will care about transgenderism, it will just be something that 1% or less of the public do and they will be accepted by the rest of us and treated with dignity and respect.
