There is also a percentage of young people who are doing it because they are confused or they just want the attention. It's the cool thing to do for some high schoolers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TimHauck 2,620 Posted April 21 18 hours ago, Voltaire said: No to the economy and war but trans issues are massively motivating. Reasonable people can disagree about climate/energy policy or foreign policy issues like Ukraine or such, I could see voting one way or the other on candidates over such things. But trans is a killer issuer with a glaring red line. People who support it are morally bankrupt and I will never vote for a trans-advocate for any position anywhere ever. What is a “trans advocate”? I thought the main issue was protecting the kids? Is it moving to not being accepting of trans adults either? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
avoiding injuries 1,510 Posted April 21 I remember when kids turned to goth and painted their fingernails black when they needed attention. Now they’re cutting off their genitalia. It’s a lot easier to scrub with nail polish remover… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is no such thing as being transexual in reality. Transexual is just another term for mentally ill. Sexual dysphoria brought to the extremes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The public does NOT support Trump’s methods, especially deportation without due process and rounding up non-violent criminals. In fact it’s going 80-20 the other way. 2. Liberals oppose defunding the police nearly 80-20 as well. 3. Depends on the specifics. 4. Not an issue that most people care about. 5. Probably true but as the economy continues to crater nobody will give a damn. 6. Depends on the specific. 7. Like #1, simply wrong on this one. As you will discover the next time there is an election. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I view trans as something I don't really care about as long as the person deciding to be trans is not impacting anyone else. If my neighbor is a cross dresser and likes to put on womens clothes and go out on friday night, cool. Good for him. If my neighbor decides he is trans and wans to get breast implants, cut off his junk, start taking hormones, etc... I really don't care. I could pretty much say the same thing about any hobby someone has.... Is trans a mental illness? ... are people who like to have sex with people dressed as furry animals mentally ill? Or is it just a weird fetish? I don't know and I really don't care. the problem with trans is that a group of people (mainly liberals) have decided to make it everyone elses problem. They always need a new group to be marginalized and scream for ________ rights, and trans became one of them. I dont hear anyone yelling about cross dressers rights or furries rights. And it obviously goes hand in hand with men in womens sports. So when you have Brendan deciding he is now Brenda and deserves to play on the female collegiate golf team, now you're bothering other people and pushing your agenda onto others. Now we have to bring science and biology into the equation when it could have just been Brandan's personal hobby to be a woman. So yeah, it's about the trans adults as well.... since those are the ones trying to play sports or the ones going around baiting restaurant employees into calling them the wrong pronoun while filming their fake outrage, etc. 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Libs are calling it Transphobia so that they can make it a "Republican's are evil" agenda when it's purely a women's rights / child welfare issue. They can't allow that to be the issue because then they can't make the trans community a victimhood and capitalize on it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
