I think this is an important distinction to make. Euthanasia implies no agency on the part of the person making the exit. Assisted death is totally under the control of the person making the exit.

Nor could I tell if you were a poet, a dreamer or a psychopath, but they exist It's brain function that determines your identity

The question is - why won't you believe them? Anyway, there is a plethora of evidence to the contrary. Here's a couple of scientific finds related to two concepts: "diachronic unity" and "alexithymia." Diachronic unity describes a stable sense of self over time. It is a sense of self-continuity, wherein memories linked to an internal narrative are able to say – “That was me then, this is me know.” You’d think that undergoing transgender transition would disrupt diachronic unity, but the opposite is true. Transition restores and strengthens diachronic unity, makes them feel less alienated from themselves. They are able to develop a coherent internal narrative. Some summarized scientific results: … transgender participants rate memories from after coming-out with higher phenomenological quality than memories from before coming-out, and that these changes relate to well-being — i.e., coming-out/transitioned periods are experienced as more connected to the current self, supporting phenomenological continuity Autobiographical memory phenomenology in transgender and cisgender individuals … qualitative literature showing that gender dysphoria often produces alienation from one’s life narrative and body prior to transition, and that many respondents describe transition and affirmation as restoring coherence and ownership of their life story. (Qualitative evidence that transition often repairs disrupted self-continuity.) The phenomenology of gender dysphoria in adults … participants narrate transition as a process of re-emplotment of life events; many describe the post-transition narrative as the one that best fits their autobiographical story — again, consistent with increased diachronic unity after transition. Exploring trans people’s narratives of transition The second aspect of self-identity I want to mention is something called alexithymia – which is difficulty with interpreting the signals that the body sends to the brain. The ability to connect the body’s internal signals to the brain is called interoception, and then those signals must be interpreted – meaning made out of them. For transgender persons, this is often a confused process, which results in a feeling of disembodiment. But gender-affirming care often restores the connection: “Alexithymia changes were found after gender-affirming hormone therapy for transgender women in both fantasizing and identifying … These findings suggest a considerable influence of estrogen administration and androgen suppression on brain networks implicated in interoception, own-body perception and higher-level cognition.”

Of course environmental stimuli affect us after birth. But how the stimuli is interpreted and responded to depends on the brain we developed in utero.

I didn't read all your Bible quotes because I have a greater authority engraved in my heart.

What experience do you have with MAID? It begins with 3 separate interviews with 3 different doctors to determine not only your physical health but your state of mind. Then follow a sequence of phone calls with the medical professionals, over a period of months during which the person requesting it is asked to continually verify their decision. And even on the day it happens, the doctor who comes to administer it says, "You can change your mind. Do you want us to proceed?" And the person answers, "Proceed." So take your ignorant opinion and shove it.

The only person with the agency to make MAID happen is the person requesting it

There have been studies done to provide a biological basis for why gender identity could diverge from genital sex: During the intrauterine period a testosterone surge masculinizes the fetal brain, whereas the absence of such a surge results in a feminine brain. As sexual differentiation of the brain takes place at a much later stage in development than sexual differentiation of the genitals, these two processes can be influenced independently of each other. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0091302211000252?utm_source=chatgpt.com Most of the anatomical, physiological and neurochemical gender-related differences in the brain occur prenatally. The sexual differences in the brain are affected by sex steroid hormones, which play important roles in the differentiation of neuroendocrine system and behavior. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24592097/ … our gender identity (the conviction of belonging to the male or female gender) and sexual orientation are programmed into our brain structures when we are still in the womb … There is no proof that social environment after birth has an effect on gender identity or sexual orientation. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19403051/ The scientific evidence overwhelmingly refutes that transgenderism is a mental disorder.

Displaying your ignorance again, I see. History is full of transgender persons. Read a bit, will you? From the 3,200 year old story of the Tale of two Brothers, in which the character Bata removes his penis and tells his wife "I am a woman just like you" - to the Galli priests of ancient Rome - who wore feminine clothes, referred to themselves as women, and often castrated themselves - (do you think eunuchs were forced?) - to the Two-Spirit Indigenous Peoples. Read about Marina the Monk - Try to get it into your pea-sized brain that the human species is full of variation, and gender-identity is not an exception to this rule. Yes, recent dogma has stifled this truth. But truth will win out in the end. The brain develops its sex during the third trimester of pregnancy, in a separate process from the sexual differentiation of the body (ovaries or testes) during the first trimester of pregnancy. In some cases, these processes take different paths and the body develops a sex different from the brain. But the brain, barring unrelated problems, develops to function normally. Just in an opposite sex from the body.

Lol! Says you The person who killed Kirk was a white dude from a red state whose parents are Trump supporters Says you. The transgender identity is a complicated one, but it is not a delusion. that is well established scientifically.

You really are out of touch with anything outside of your little right-wing bubble. You are spreading false facts. Overwhelmingly, mass shooters are white cisgender males four widely cited examples out of the 3,561 shootings translates to 0.11% being perpetrated by someone who is not cisgender — a very low number relative to the number of mass shootings total. https://ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/ap-top-news/2023/03/30/fact-focus-no-incredible-rise-in-transgender-shooters So, since about 1% of the population is transgender, they are actually underrepresented in mass shootings. https://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/publications/trans-adults-united-states/ What policies? Easy. A transgender identity is something produced by your brain, in your brain. But a transgender female would still have a male body, and therefore an unfair advantage in female sprots.

Do you wear your blinders to bed, too?

You asked for demonstrations of hate, I gave them to you, and then you say, "So what?" Do you understand that transgender persons are fearing for their lives? No-one is pushing anything on you. The most you have to put up with is the nuisance of pronouns, lol. You have a very ignorant position on the trans identity, and can only process it in terms that centre around you. People who understand that that transgenderism is not a delusion but a state of being.

This past summer, Skydance acquired Paramount Global. Paramount owns CBS. The deal required federal approval. Then, “anti-woke” crusader Bari Weiss was put in as editor-in-chief of 60 Minutes. A 60 Minutes story critical of the Trump administration is killed. You connect the dots.

several individual Baptist ministers have publicly called for the death penalty for transgender people and the broader LGBTQ+ community in their sermons and on social media: Grayson Fritts, a pastor and former detective in Tennessee, stated in a sermon that LGBTQ+ people were "freaks" and "worthy of death". Steven Falco and other leaders at the Sure Foundation Baptist Church in Indianapolis have made repeated calls for the LGBTQ+ community to face the death penalty, stating they should be executed by the government. Dillon Awes, a pastor at a church in Watauga, Texas, and later an employee in Oklahoma City, called for gay people and those who support them to "get the death penalty". Pastor Tom Haskell of Grace Baptist Church in Florida has also suggested that being gay should be a crime and appeared to support capital punishment for homosexual acts, citing biblical passages. Pastor Gabriel Graber from Spokane, Washington, called for the execution of parents who allow their children to undergo gender-affirming care, suggesting they be "shot in the back of the head". Then there is the recent speech made at Turning Point’s (founded by Charlie Kirk, now run by his widow Erica) Americafest. The angry man in the video below cites Charlie as a martyr, then delivers his warped version of Christianity. His chilling speech earned him a standing ovation. “The person who pulled the trigger (on Charlie) is part of the demonic transgender ideology that warps the minds of our young children, that poisons them, that is antithetical to creation itself … God doesn’t make mistakes. Transgenderism is a lie from the pit of hell … and I’m sick of seeing transgender violence and murderers in my country … what a horrid and wretched ideology … it’s time to kick in doors, come on FBI, do some door-kicking, round them up.” https://www.instagram.com/reel/DSi3WJiEewU/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== You don't have to pretend a thing, but why should others pretend they are who they are not for your benefit? Besides, you can be pro-transgender without condoning men in women's sports

The Trump admin is exchanging favourable regulatory outcomes for favorable news coverage. That is corrupt

Trump's DoJ is in big trouble with their botched release, including the charge that only a tiny fraction was released. Bondi continues with her lies, saying "the Trump administration is the most transparent in history." Clinton has made a statement to "release all the files" - indicating he is quite sure of his innocence in the matter

More of the dog-and-pony-show - "They'll be the fastest, the biggest, and by far 100 times more powerful than any battleship ever built," Trump said. Ha, ha, ha

Both Greenland and Denmark have very forcefully told Trump and the USA that this is a non-starter. They have replied with a very firm "No." So any attempt to pursue this idea by the USA must be considered hostile. I think Trump is resurrecting this idea now to distract from the Epstein files.

This 60 Minutes segment on CECOT - describing brutal and tortuous conditions - was livestreamed (by Global) in Canada for a while before it was taken down. But it is out there now. Truth can not long stay buried. Read some of the comments made by the inmates about human rights abuses at this link: https://www.theguardian.com/media/2025/dec/23/60-minutes-cecot-appears-online In 2023, a state department report cited "torture and life-threatening prison conditions" About the same prison, Trump has this to say “But this year, during a meeting with President Bukele at the White House, President Trump expressed admiration for El Salvador’s prison system,” before airing footage of Trump saying: “They make great facilities. Very strong facilities. They don’t play games.”

One of Trump's biggest cons is to promote himself as the "president of peace." Consider his involvement in the Israel-Gaza situation. Stopping the war there has only one purpose for him - and it's self-enrichment. Remember back in February when Trump, at a news conference alongside Netanyahu, declared that the US intended to “take over” and “own” the Gaza strip? Trump suggested that Palestinians might be relocated and that Gaza could become something he later called the “Riviera of the Middle East.” Remember the bizarre AI video showing how Trump could develop Gaza, centered with a gold statue of himself? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/yH8NbKfTMH4 And the Right said, “He’s just trolling the Left.” Well, this week the plan – labeled Project Sunrise - has gone public. A US proposal to rebuild war-torn Gaza into a high-tech, luxurious coastal destination over the next two decades has been pitched to possible donor countries. A slide show has been put together: Project Sunrise is being crafted by Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and a private investor with deep connections to Gulf capital, and Steve Witkoff, a U.S. special envoy and longtime developer: The pitch deck reportedly being shown to potential donor countries is full of the language of investment and return, of asset optimization and tourist revenues. There is talk of monetizing up to 70 percent of Gaza’s coastline, of turning the economy into something attractive to global capital. What is notably absent from many of these slides is a clear accounting of the nearly 2 million displaced Palestinians, where they fit into this vision, and how their lived experience is supposed to intersect with a glittering future built on their shattered homeland. The project is estimated to cost $112 billion over the first ten years. The US government would commit to “anchor” the project by providing $60 billion Why do you think Trump will not recognize Palestinians’ right to their own state?

I don't think that word means what you think it means. How about this, below. Is this state censorship? The Trump administration has signaled to the Smithsonian Institution that the White House could withhold federal funding from the museum organization if it does not comply with the administration’s unprecedented, sweeping review. In a Thursday letter to Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie Bunch III, White House officials said funds are available only “for use in a manner consistent” with President Donald Trump’s executive order from March, which tasked aides with rooting out “ideological indoctrination or divisive narratives” within the organization.

I know, eh? That's why it's so strange that people believe Trump when he says the borders were open.

It's in the OP. Weiss is not a journalist - she is a political placement sent to kill 60 Minutes. Why do you think she killed the CECOT expose? Truth is fast disappearing in the US.
