  6. https://archive.ph/HhfCD “I felt so detached from my body, and the way it was developing felt hostile to me,” Powell told me. It was classic gender dysphoria, a feeling of discomfort with your sex. Reading about transgender people online, Powell believed that the reason she didn’t feel comfortable in her body was that she was in the wrong body. Transitioning seemed like the obvious solution. The narrative she had heard and absorbed was that if you don’t transition, you’ll kill yourself. “I wish there had been more open conversations,” Powell, now 23 and detransitioned, told me. “But I was told there is one cure and one thing to do if this is your problem, and this will help you.” Many transgender adults are happy with their transitions and, whether they began to transition as adults or adolescents, feel it was life changing, even lifesaving. The small but rapidly growing number of children who express gender dysphoria and who transition at an early age, according to clinicians, is a recent and more controversial phenomenon. Bottom line - kids who transition at young ages as we're now seeing in Canada frequently grow up to regret it, with bodies that can never be repaired. Alberta, sask, pei and any other province is absolutely correct to make sure that teachers are forced to involve parents early on when their children exibit signs of transgender behavior or gender dysphoria and parents are RIGHT to question if this is real or a phase and which treatments are best. It may well be the kid eventually transitions and that's fine but it's not ok to ruin their lives for virtue points.

  7. Newsweek: Tucker Carlson being spotted attending ballet in Moscow Earlier, a ruthless dictator Jong Un led Trump around his finger, with nothing to show for his bombastic claims. Admiring dictator thugs. Spreading their propaganda lies. "Free media" to interview Hitlers. No: you can make no mistakes about what kind of sh*t you're stepping into. The history will record and remember every twitch of every little finger.

  9. Anyone who's raised kids will be keenly aware that they are very naive and easily fooled into doing anything. Heck, they even had to censor cartoons so they wouldn't club each other in the head with a shovel. That's called vulnerable to suggestion. Now, I'ma flood you with information to make you uncertain if you're a boy or a girl. And you will be. I think that's what parents want, the right to change the channel.

  10. Wrong. Some people decided it was the new way, and there was pushback. Pushback isn't the same thing as "started it". Slightly? I think that girls don't want boys/young men in their bathroom. It's odd that the culture that calls everything "rape" would also put men in the girls bathroom. If it was Trump's weird plan to get boys into the girls' bathroom you'd freak out. I dunno what your point was. As a parent I'd always consult with a Dr or counsellor, but if they tried to go behind my back and make a decision with my Gr 3 kid there'd be trouble. hoped that he'd do better. The US doesn't have many reasonable candidates and he was one. I don't know how badly he hurt his future chances. I don't think the media 'reports'. I think they 'narrate'.

  11. People need to realise that there is a difference in the sense that if you follow the media you could be fooled to believe that all this woke and trans-stuff is something completely mainstream but if you actually go out to the real world you very rarely encounter these people. It is a very marginal group of people bigged up by the media.

  12. Correct. The state has deemed itself more worthy of providing moral guidance to youth than parents, once they reach 16. You presume that doctors and educators are neutral parties but parents are not. Why? Their professionalism? You see the ideology dominating our disciplines through their various colleges of certification. Quite simply no one is neutral, but the family unit, which can only be run by the parents, must take precedence over the state. This is basic subsidiarity. Parents know their kids because they’re with them the most and home is the most local society that exists to a child. Quite simply, until a child reaches adulthood, parental guidance and discretion is as sacred as the rights of an individual adult. Child rearing certainly must reside primarily with the parents, not the state’.

  13. What's weird is that you insist on thinking I trust governments in spite of everything I've ever said about not trusting them. This should have you questioning the way you think, especially after beaking off about how everyone else thinks. Like I said you're quite the phenomenon. It makes you both the ball and the player in these discussion. Definitely more the former though. We often comment that people don't care what we say in places like this. That said, if people in the future do study them to get a sense of where our heads were at it'll be the slavish partisan committment to their team that you display that astounds and bewilders them most.

  14. Unfortunately the left has become a death cult that puts the people at the mercy of an overbearing secular state that purports to know what’s best for everyone and crushes dissent through ideology. We’re constantly told to think a way that is not just nihilistic; it’s anti-human. In this vacuum enters the attack on the individual and individual rights, because all needs of the individual must be subsumed to the values of the all-knowing collective state. Even the goal isn’t about humans; it’s fighting climate change. Everyone is included in this fight, no exceptions. But what does this cause advance if not the destruction of humanity? The push to tax and regulate you in order to diminish your carbon footprint is really about the war on humanity, brought to you by A.I. and the Committee For Inclusivity. MAID is just one of its policies. Anything that helps eliminate humanity. Canada’s low birth rate shows you that the policies have been implemented to good effect. This was always about the war on the family too: sexual revolution, birth control, abortion, legal hard drugs, euthanasia, non-traditional and smaller families, lower carbon footprint. These were the big follies of modern life that we embraced as an expression of freedom, but it’s resulting in a society with a negative birth rate attacking its own foundations: settler-colonial, patriarchal, proselytizing. The country needs a restoration. Reconsidering MAID is a good place to start.

  15. What a f'ing weasel. He's trying to claim victory for both sides at the same time. Trudeau: "Look, I doubled the paycheque to the terrorist org today!" One minute later... Trudeau: "Look, I put a stop-payment on the terrorist org's next paycheque!" Every Canadian with an IQ below 60: "That's why I always vote Liberal, except for the times I vote NDP or Green."

  17. I think it should end because it will always be dubious morally at best, lead to unintended deaths, and take the place of effective healthcare that heals and treats people. It’s the deep dive into dystopia. It’s possibly being expanded to the mentally ill and children. What was once hard to justify for people in grave pain suffering from terminal illness asking to be put out of their misery is now a ritual of release where you can pick your playlist for your own death when the going gets tough and check out of life. Any society that normalizes this is committing mass suicide.

  19. The real problem i have with this type is the argument "well we did the best we could at the time" followed by "we shoudlnt' talk about what happened or how to do it better in the future, it's in the past and we should leave it there" Most honest people might buy the first one and accept that covid happened quickly and we had not had these conversations before and people kind of panicked and politicians did what they thought would keep them safe politically. And in fairness many politicans were destroyed by covid and the public's reaction. But now IS the time to have that conversation. Because as a society we did some pretty serious violating of people's rights and a discussion about whether that was justified or not AND how far we'd take that in the future is warranted. When is it ok or not ok to violate someone's rights in the name of the greater good? But I think some people just know what we did was wrrong. But they don't care that it was wrong, so they just want to ignore it and not talk about it again.

  20. I see you writing it now. It's like if I just admitted that Harper isn't the PM anymore, when most people already knew that in 2015. Leftards were acting like no one was getting sick, and like they should be allowed special privileges in society because the vax prevented them from spreading covid. That was you, pretending to see the emperor's clothes for a full year. You didn't know that. You were one of the most credulous vaxtards here. You thought that the vax was so successful and so safe that you advocated for young people to be forced to take it. You pretended that the stories about young kids being injured by the vax were all fake, and that young people needed it for their own protection. With the benefit of hindsight we all know that literally everything that you ever said about the jab was complete drivel and it's not surprising to see that your head is still up your ass. Congrats on finally admitting that the vax isn't "a bilyun persent efectuv", and that it does injure some young people. You've come a long way from just a few weeks ago.

  21. Bingo: unfortunately the case that the UN has become a massive 3rd world dominated bureaucracy funded by first world nations. In the case of Gaza/Palestine the thousands of UN employees that prop the place up could not possibly avoid employing some very hard line Paleo/Hamas supporters. To find only 12 is total BS. By the same token showing the total ineffectuality of the UN: the two state solution has faltered horribly with Israeli "settlers" taking over the West Bank. To think a sea of Jews is somehow going to tolerate two islands of people brought up to hate their very existence is naive in the extreme.

  22. Its a wonder why people want to virtue signal on a technology that is still very green (no pun intended), in terms of the long term reliability (and cost of ownership) that is still a question mark. In uncertain times, people naturally will gravitate to things that give them certainty. No surprise hybrids have been more popular. ICEs. Negative 40, I can fuel my car in less than a minute. To 100%. I don't need to plan around the 15 to 30 minute wait, and only charge up to 80%, because of course am only going to use to super charger.

  23. A veto, without any form of public voting or representation? Sounds un-democratic and unconstitutional. Sounds like political virtue signalling, given out for political points despite knowing that it will fail if challenged. Crown land belongs to the crown, in other words under purview of the federalis.

  26. As a parent who raised three kids, from both genders, I am absolutely against giving them autonomy to make decisions that will affect the rest of their lives before they are mature enough to understand. The role of government and lawyers, or medical boards goes too far if they think they have the right to interact privately with my child without my knowledge. I am their legal guardian. Not some committee or chivatto in a federal office. That is crossing the line.

  27. I hope this is genuine and if so I would be very close to a full agreement. We can have differences. We can discuss them and try to come to understanding and seek solutions. But once it becomes the cult game: my version of truth against yours, my Idol is greater than yours there's no chance for any meaningful conversation and any solutions. It's a dean blind end, as dead and blind as can be.

  29. I was thinking this way too, until I read up on the legal background. The justice system and medical community have decided that maturity to make decisions over one's own body is variable. That is to say it doesn't happen at any specific age. The doctor can assess the patient and decide if they have domain. Underage children can have abortions without their parents knowledge, I think. Also therapies fall into this category.

  33. I think you are missing the issue people are having with this. You're describing a woman of legal age, choosing to alter her body. Okay, and? Where's the issue? Now, if your post had the age being under 12, and also mentioned her starting birth control due to pregnancies in earlier years, maybe it would have raised a few eyebrows. Using children who made life altering decisions at ages where they change their favorite color every other year, does. Make that child over 18, and this no longer is a problem. Stop teaching kids that gender is "assigned", and this no longer is a problem. Stop confusing kids by pushing gay and trans ideology onto them, at ages where everything they see, is taken literally. IE under 12. Stop lying to people, telling them gender is unlimited. Unfortunately many still have brains and free thought. Once eradicated, society won't have a problem pushing this garbage onto others. Also, if your point was spot on, those that regretted their move would be supported by the trans community. Kind of sounds like social pressure to conform at an age where teens are trying to find their identities. What could go wrong? (again...sarcasm)

  35. Especially when our own MAFIA us to blame for those drug cartels in Mexico and all points south. It was WE Americans who began teaching people to grow drugs instead of food. It was Americas demand for oil that had our brutally efficient oil rigs draining their natural resources, it was American loggers and the Georgia Pacific wood company owned loggers at that cutting down their forests and poisoning their rivers mining their minerals and flushing their toxic mine waste down the rivers which destroyed their fish and fisheries. They come HERE because of US. In fact, because of the large donors to the GOP....the Oil, Wood, and Drug maker industries. They got filthy rich on the backs of these people and by trashing their countries. Despite all this, and the obstacles you GOP have thrown in their way to prevent them coming here, they make UT anyway and you know that takes the kind of Courage and Guts that make fine American families who in their next generation often sign up to defend America and you kniwcwhat? I like that kind of courage and determination better than the hate and gutless cowards I see in the GOP.

  37. Vaxtards are literally THE WORST humans on the planet. They started out by just 'knowing' that HCQ absolutely didn't help before it even went through trials. Maybe it doesn't work, but that's not the point: no one knew that in advance. (side note: it's quite possible that random drugs like nicotine of all things might actually help. Smokers are underrepresented in French covid stats, and nicotine is floated as a possible reason. Some trials have also found ivermectin effective: " Conclusions: Moderate-certainty evidence finds that large reductions in COVID-19 deaths are possible using ivermectin. Using ivermectin early in the clinical course may reduce numbers progressing to severe disease. The apparent safety and low cost suggest that ivermectin is likely to have a significant impact on the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic globally. Then when one hasty study came out in NEJoM and the Lancet, it was "CONCLUSIVE PROOF, DUMMIES!" and that was the absolute end of it. Done like dinner. One study is all you need apparently. The fact that the study had to be retracted made no difference to vaxtards. "Reracted, shmacted". (The same skeptics who universally accepted a single HCQ trial as absolute evidence that HCQ didn't work completely ignored data from Israeli ICUs which showed the jab didn't prevent covid.) Then the vax was pimped as being "safe and effective" in advance, and somehow all the skeptics from ^above^ were credulous believers. Huh? that makes no sense... "You. We're massive skeptics/credulous sheeple. We go all-in on everything well in advance of evidence. Sometimes for, sometimes against, but always with 100% conviction either way." Hmmmmm. The vaxtards all went from "It's a bilyun persnt safe and efectuv" to "Yeah, it hurts some people, it doesn't slow transmission at all, and massive amounts of people still die, BUT IT STILL WORKS!!!!" with realizing that their story was constantly changing, by how much, or what it meant for their credibility. The vaxtards still consider themselves experts with a flawless record of being correct. It's mind-boggling. This is like pidgeon chess on steroids. It's like if Kennedy declared the Bay of Pigs a complete victory, or if Biden called the Afghan withdrawal a success. (wait a sec... 🤣 )

  40. If this is happening then the whole system has failed that one child, from the school board to the police or parents...This issue effects a lot of children, trans or otherwise. If the schools are not protecting our children then there are other routes you can take to prevent all of this....As for some parents being part of the problem, there are solutions for that as well, with many different people trained in what to do if a child is suspected of child abuse.... I think it is trendy, why is it there are more cases of children not happy with their sex than in any other time in history. This is a mental health problem, how could it not be, if some are considering suicide...this has been one of the narratives of the Trans community...It is dangerous, life threatening even...if parents were required approval of any name changes, or different pronouns used...That is a huge red flag that there is a problem and that problem is a mental health issue.,..

  43. We need Alberta’s Parental Rights Bill across Canada. It settles these issues in important ways that ensure sensible, careful consideration is given to major life choices, parents have critical input as guardians of their children, and trans kids are protected from bullying and discrimination without infringing on other rights such as girls competing in girls’ sports. It’s just good policy.

  45. This is the narrative currently seducing young girls and boys. Pushing it socially as trendy, vs the mental health issue that it is, genuinely has people believing you can somehow stop puberty and do other modifications and reverse them if you change your mind. It's even extended to the population as a whole. Question this, you're a murderer. Laugh at things not adding up, and you're a monster. Affirming care, is essentially potentially castrating people who have underlying issues that have nothing to do with gender dysphoria.

  48. Not a sovereign Gaza, a sovereign PALESTINE. Israel had a hand in helping Gaza fall into the hands of Hamas because 20 years ago they figured it would weaken the secular Palestinian Authority, who was Israel’s main counterpart at the time, and also put a more extremist face on the Palestinian people therefore justifying further avoidance of peace talks. Israel assumed that Hamas extremism and terrorism could be “managed” and “contained”. Israel has decades of peace and partnership with Egypt, Jordan amd even covert partnerships with Saudi Arabia which prior to Oct 7 was about to become official and public Peace is possible but the extremists who are currently in control on both sides need to be marginalized amd repudiated. Until then will just be more of the same, which is exactly what the extremists want.
