It's not that hard to figure out. Anything tied to LGBTQ+ stuff gets sidestepped and shoved aside so as not to deal with the people on both sides if the debate. I think what people view as acceptance or support of is often just trying to avoid doing anything about it either way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Therefore no matter how smart you think you are you are wrong. please show me where the deceptive editing has occurred they always show clips of people saying exact words in the story douchebags like you get your deceptive editing from msnbc continually and run with it.

The media has a sordid past of spinning video which has people clearly stating things and telling buffoons stupid enough to believe it that it is somehow 'out of context'. And getting people on video to reveal their true motivations and actions which they lie about publicly is called reporting and is the only real way to expose the mass amount of corruption going on.

Friedman has yet to rule on the defendants' arguments that they should prevail as a matter of law. "This case implicates fundamental First Amendment issues. The folks on my left prefer to ignore that fact," the defendants' lawyer Paul Calli said in a statement. "We will see what the finish line brings." youre the same type of guy who will deny Quid Pro Joe did anything wrong with Ukraine while supporting Trump being impeached over it cause the story ran on Fox Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BuckSwope 654 Posted December 11, 2022 3 hours ago, jonmx said: They all deny they support such barbaric actions, while defending those actions every chance they get. The gymnastics is fun to watch as they scream 'you pedo' every time they are caught in a lie. For you and others, there is 0 middle ground. It feels like it's either full on pedo/grooming, and everything to do with the topic is barbaric. People can disagree with you about all or none of those things, but when they do its right back to the all or nothing view of this. I keep pushing back because I get grouped in there often, but I don't feel your statement is accurate of my postion, and the position of many I encounter on these boards. I think that surgeries before 18 should be a no-go. I am less sure about the puberty blockers, so for me that goes more in the category of being willing to leave that up to the parents and doctors. Regardless, first step should be mental health counseling and going down that road. To me, that is not me saying that I approve of the procedure in the case of puberty blockers, it's that I think people should be able to make that decision on their own. I usually fall back to my philosophy that I don't want people telling me what I can and can't do for myself and my family, so I like to extend that courtesy to others (within reason). Because you think it's all barbaric, you feel justified calling people with my postion evil groomers and wanting it banned. To me there is 0 mental gymnastics needed, and no lying involved. You can disagree, but I feel there is an important distinction between being "for" something, and being for allowing people to make that choice themselves. Where you and others make the mistake is morphing a position like mine as to meaning that I would do those things if given the chance. I honestly don't know here, but it certainly isn't the case for other things we debate like abortion, guns, covid vaccinations, etc. None of the positions I have there reflect how I act or the decisions I make at home. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know. 2. Thanks. I have seen the issues with sterility, when I say reversible I usually mean physical appearance abilty to "pass" as born gender, etc.. I should be specific. I know European countries are cracking down on them more, but hadn't seen the links to cancer. Will definitely look at that more. 3. If people aren't seeking psych help at the same time as a first step, yes - I believe they are doing it wrong. IMO that should be step 1. 4. The suicide stats you and Eternal bring up should be looked at and weighed. 5. Me neither. I've said repeatedly that I have 0 clue how I would proceed if my kid came to me with this besides be open and understanding, seek psych help, and read as much as I possibly could. My point was overall that I don't think it's really that hard to think of reasonable reasons why parents might seek this out as a solution. There is a lot of fear and uncertainty around it, not to mention the stigma that comes with it from both directions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It should be treated similar to other risky procedures we have no problem trusting doctors and parents with making for their children. That's all. That's my starting point for damn near everything, and it has to be pretty extreme for me to move off that position. Just about every site I just glanced at from Mayo Clinic, etc. seemed pretty clear on the risks, that's it's not for every case, etc.. I'm not advocating for it to be used on everybody. I'm not even saying I'd do it with my kid in this situation, as I don't know. All I am saying that I am can understand why a parent could go down this route (that doesn't involve lib brainwashing and virtue signaling), and IMO it should be an option available if doctors are leaning that way and think the benefits outweigh the risks.

There is only one side that has the data and is withholding it, and that is the clinics which rely on preying on these children to stay on business. They want you to think that this is rare, but yet clinics are popping up all over. They want to tell you they don't do surgeries on children under 18, but yet they do. They want you to believe there is some medical diagnosis before they hand out drugs to kids, but there isn't. They want you to believe they clearly disclose all the dangers to the patients, yet they don't. Hell, we even have government produced literature which lie about puberty blockers being full reversible. How do we know all this, because there are dozens of detransitioning people who tell the same story over and over again. There are no doctors involved on any diagnosis, just a gender advocate who questions the patient and provides it to a doctor who could be in a different state. Drugs are immediately prescribed as long as the patient self-identifies. No need to establish that the patient may have other issues which have nothing to do with dysphoria. In the US, theses gender clinics still operate in darkness and enjoy legal protection from lawsuits. In England they have blown the doors off these butcher shops because they did not have legal protections, and their dirty secrets got exposed and these horrendous practices were stopped and every clinic was shutdown for malpractice. But in the US, the butchering and lies are still occurring and tens of thousands of kids are having their healthy bodies destroyed. We need to open up these clinics to lawsuits, which will help straighten out their worst practices in a hurry. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
