If they grow up an have these same feelings and as an adult do that’s okay. 2. Sign them up to play girls sports. I couldn’t imagine going to a girls volleyball game and watch my son, who identifies as a girl, spike volleyballs on girls heads. It’s just not cool. it doesn’t mean I don’t support and love my kid.

So I’m sorry if some of this has already been discussed. I don’t have a dog in this fight, but to me, on the surface, this seems like common sense. But then if you think about it more… You say you believe that gender dysmorphia is real. That would mean that in this hypothetical, your kid truly identifies as a female. Now I’m not saying that all cases are the same and should be treated as such, but wouldn’t forcing them to live as a male until they were 18 doing them some sort of harm, as well? We’ve heard stories about how psychologically damaging it was for some homosexuals to live in the closet, I’d assume that not all kids would have the mental fortitude to wait until they were of age. Again, not saying that you should automatically give in and let them make the decision either, but I would think there should be more thought put into the process. As far a letting trans play in sports. Wouldn’t it come down to how much transition has already taken place? Most trans take hormone blockers either for estrogen or testosterone depending on male or female and then the corresponding hormones based on the sex. So a male transitioning to female would take testosterone blockers and then add estrogen. At least that’s how I think it works. Now if they aren’t doing hormone treatment, then no, they probably shouldn’t be allowed to play with the girls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cept kids shouldn’t be at any stage of a transition as far as medical procedures go. Key word: Kid. Wanna wear a dress? Knock yourself out. Stay out of the girls room and the girls locker room. Want to chop off your junk? You gotta wait. Do whatever you want when you’re of age. Don’t demand others play along. Also, they can’t menstruate. Science!!

The whole gender bullshat is just one prong of the overall progressive ideology and push for socialism. Pushing gender ideology on young people is no more than a mechanism to fracture the family unit, which is the greatest obstacle to socialism. Is it accident that some state legislators are pushing to make denying a kids gender ID child abuse? The progressives want young people to derive all morals and values from the establishment, not the family unit. Inch by inch, it's happening before our eyes.

I could care less if said people dress how they want, have sex with who they want. If it gives them happiness and they find their way and peace so be it. I am not “against Trans Folks”. However leave the pre pubescent kids alone man. Fock. And while gender dysphoria is real the downside for them is they can’t play sports in the other gender. While it may suck for them, it’s a downside of having said issue and common sense and logic have to rule the day. The fact this is even debatable is crazy to me. Yup all they have to do is leave the kids out of it but the freaks can’t control themselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we go to extremes, farthest right is fascism and farthest left is communism. Both of those extremes are highly unlikely to favor some social changes that have happened in America in the past few decades. BLM, gay marriage, transgender rights, etc. These are not right or left issues. IMO, they are forward or backward issues. Forward - more rights, backwards - fewer rights. Capitalism is strengthening, so if we look at it in the terms of socialism vs capitalism, one could argue we’re moving right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Based on recent actions by Republicans, is that really true? Abortion is completely banned in over a dozen states. No longer is it a decision between a woman and her doctor. This is one of the biggest government intrusions into personal lives in the past 50 years. Have a transgender kid? Texas state employees are coming to your house to investigate you for child abuse. Run a social media site? Republican laws will tell you how to moderate its content. Republicans even used to push for tax breaks for corporations. But if a corporation does something they don’t like, they will take that away… like with Disney. It seems to be more a question of what kind of government control you want in your life.

I did find a Huff Po reporter who called it "Qanon friendly" tho. Saying Eric Trump hosted it seems like a stretch, but perhaps you've researched it and can confirm. Sounds like he was a speaker at the pro-Trump rally. Quote The two-day "ReAwaken America" rally also featured speeches by Eric Trump, Michael Flynn, Roger Stone, and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell. Mathias, who attended the event, said on Twitter that the conference was Christian nationalist and "QAnon-friendly." https://www.businessinsider.com/pro-trump-rally-speaker-angel-of-death-lindsey-graham-democrats-2022-10 Perhaps you conflate pro-Trump with Qanon?
