transcoderx's comments

I meant to say puberty blockers, not hormone blockers. Which should have been quite obvious from the context.

Vanishingly small numbers? There are hundreds of teens who get surgeries and thousands who get drugs.

Your claim that it all only happens because of these kids agencies is unsubstantiated.

How do you explain the doubling of numbers of kids who say they are trans?

And you claim nobody ever regrets transitioning, which is a lie.

There is nothing to counter. May look for studies next week when I have a notebook and not just a phone.

You want a list of names, or what are you asking?

Is that being taught at school?

The people pushing transitioning as a solution for kids emotional issues.

If all indications you have seen for the topic being pushed on kids are my comments, you are in extreme denial.

How do you evaluate the oppression of a group?

Sorry I think it is all just scientism, fueled by socialist subversion theory.

The whole approach of blaming everything on oppression is a receipt for failure.

In a country that had a black president not long ago, too.

What statistical rule do you mean? Mumbling "systemic oppression" is not statistics.

By selecting to live in an attractive location, you mean? Makes sense.

I never said "totalistic", what do you even mean by that?

I think "systemic" is just a way to sound somewhat deep without actually saying anything real, though. A magical explanation for everything.

Survivor bias?

I never mentioned any specific laws or senators, you did.

But I have seen videos of such drag shows with kids, and examples of the debated books.

So stop bullshitting me. It is absolutely about sexualization and pornographic content. That other examples may exist is besides the point. Specific laws may be badly written, but the intent is certainly not to make Ms Doubtfire illegal.

And even Anne Frank may not be appropriate for children of all ages. Afaik it does contain passages about sex.

The first study is a survey of surgeons, which seems rather useless. What warrants the assumptions that they would learn about the long term outcomes of their surgeries?

The second claims to have looked into several studies, which might include ones like the first one. Would be nice to have an actually useful direct study, especially for young people.

As for cosmetic surgery, you brought that up. I don't think it is as worrying, as many of them are reversible, and they don't sterilize the recipients. Somebody regretting to get a nose job is hardly in the same category as someone regretting they cut off their penis.

Yeah you can say that, but then you just signal that you don't want to be taken seriously.

Not sure how you manage to live in so much denial, but if you can truly pull it off, congratulations! May it work out well for you!

You just assume most black people would feel oppressed? And how would you disentangle that opinion from them being taught they are oppressed in school?

Would you say it absolutely doesn't matter how black people feel about it? Wouldn't that make the whole subject somewhat ridiculous?

And of course a black lawyer is a data point against the claims of systemic oppression.

What got deleted, and what am I supposedly?

Your comment also says a lot about you.

I don't feel ashamed for worrying about the unwarranted mutilation of children.

What is your excuse?

That appears to be one single case.

And yet she is a black lawyer, despite of all the assumed systemic oppression. Maybe she knows more about the actual challenges of black people than the CRT theoreticians?

So is the mass hysteria now the belief that there is a mass hysteria against trans people, or the belief that there is a mass hysteria of kids being pushed to transition?
