You give yourself away, despite your trying to fake it.

This is all just straw man. Get with the program.

Why do others claiming their rights push you? Don't force your reality onto other's reality.

Only educated people? Lol.

Your lack of comprehension could win you awards. Transgender persons do not transition in order to "present themselves" but to BE. That maybe you should pay attention to the people this actually affects. It sounds like you're judging instead of understanding.

Why are you so obsessed with this? I hope you look inside and find some answers.

How would you know? That is only your opinion, and it is prejudiced and ignorant. I've tried to explain this before, but I will try again. Your identity is not in your body, but in your brain/mind. If your leg is amputated, are you still you? I belong to another forum and on it, just today, I read an autobiographical except from a transgender person who underwent the surgery, and they described the euphoria of finally being in the "right" body. I've asked this before, but I will ask again (try to answer thoughtfully, not knee-jerk): To all cisgender males - imagine you have all the same thought processes and feelings, the same motivations, interpretations of the world, the same reactions to things, the same identity - but you have breasts and a vagina. How would that mess you up? To all cisgender females - imagine you have all the same thought processes and feelings, the same motivations, interpretations of the world, the same reactions to things, the same identity - but you have a penis. How would that mess you up?

And how is that exactly? How should a man act? Is there a book "How to Act Like a Man"? Don't colour outside the lines? It's attitudes like yours in society that drives transgender persons to despair. When I read this, I thought of other identifiable groups in the past who had to fight for their rights, and I imagine they too faced this kind of ignorance. I think you are the threat, not them.

What you are referring to is the narrow-minded, restrictive Western-Christian tradition. There's a whole lot of human history you apparently know nothing about. Transgenderism is as old as the human species. You can read a little bit about it here: https://www.hrc.org/resources/seven-things-about-transgender-people-that-you-didnt-know No, not everything is about you.

Respectfully, I disagree. I think any transgender person who undergoes transition does it to be their authentic self.

The Right wholesale rejects elites - like for example scientists - anyone who they think wants to lord over them. They are highly skeptical of educated people, and will even say some are evil and pernicious. Their treatment of Fauci kind of confirms that. Do they really? They think they know everything? Or they just disagree with you on some points?

His influence with killing the budget bill last week cannot be ignored. Trump followed him on that. Trump and Musk are the masters of propaganda. No-one even comes close. You know you have just described Trump's side here?

But the right-wing influencers are controlling the narrative right now, including Trumps' biggest influencer, Musk

I don't watch TV. It's all stupid. I get all my news by print. I subscribe to The Washington Post, The Economist, the Atlantic, Scientific American, etc. etc. And I read a lot of nonfiction books.

Kennedy has been very vocal in his opposition to vaccine mandates, comparing it to totalitarianism. At rallies, he has even said that Anne Frank had a better chance with the Nazis. (Side note – there is no US law mandating children get vaccinated, but they can’t enroll in a school without the vaccines.) Vaccines have eliminated many diseases that used to kill a lot – millions and millions – of children. So the obvious question is – why does Kennedy not want to prevent these deaths? Well, which parents are the most likely to have vaccine hesitancy? As it turns out, religious reasons account for the majority of total vaccine refusal. So, apparently, Kennedy wants to do some population control on religious people.

The major concern is that that study was done only with parent interviews, and did not involve any contact with the transgender youth.

I never said that.

But it is not a mental disorder. Transgenderism does not interfere with the functioning of the brain. Their brains work fine, they are just the opposite sex of the body. Male and female brains have differences. For example, I real long ago that there are more neuronal connections between the "emotion centres" and the "communication centres" in females than there are in males. So, this might be used to explain why men have such a hard time talking about their feelings. And during our evolution, we needed men to be fearless and tough, brave hunters, so this makes sense from an evolutionary standpoint. There's some really exciting science going on now - using AI to identify female and male brains: This model demonstrated superior performance compared with those in previous studies, in part because it used a deep neural network that analyzes dynamic MRI scans. This approach captures the intricate interplay among different brain regions. When the researchers tested the model on around 1,500 brain scans, it could almost always tell if the scan came from a woman or a man... The findings indicate that functional brain characteristics varying between sexes have significant behavioral implications. https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2024/02/men-women-brain-organization-patterns.html This theory has been totally dismissed. There is zero evidence for it, despite its being studied. Zero, Nada, nilch. You can read about all the evidence showing it's wrong here: All the Evidence Against Transgender Social Contagion "Social contagion" is actually called a "zombie theory" - a scientific theory that has been disproved, attempts to prove it have failed, but some (usually with an agenda) continue to present it as a viable theory.

No, that is the point. What are you suggesting - a mass delusion? I don't see how. There is a biological pathway that makes transgenderism possible. There is not a biological pathway to making a person think they are a cat.

Uh, why would they lie? If someone tells you who they are, believe them. Well, this has nothing to do with the identity of a living person... This is such a ridiculous question, it does not deserve an answer.

Both our bodies and our brains are dimorphic (differentiate to male or female). But the developmental processes that differentiate a body and differentiate a brain are two different processes. In the first trimester of pregnancy, the body sexually differentiates under the influence of genes – and either testes or ovaries develop. During the last trimester of pregnancy, the brain sexually differentiates under the influence of genes and hormones – and either a male or female brain develops. Usually, these two processes are coincident – (male body + male brain or female body + female brain) and a cisgender person is born. But sometimes, the brain develops the opposite gender from the body – (male body + female brain or female body + male brain) and a transgender person is born. You can read about this online for free in the chapter The Biological Basis of Gender Incongruence in the book Human Sexuality

What I disagreed with is that it was coined only to protect feelings. it is an accurate term. The science.

I need to stop you right there. I am not a leftie. I just recognize deceit when I see it. This represents a lot of unfounded assumptions on your part. Passionately? Please, what - did he make a fevered speech from a balcony? The trial was in New York because that is where the crimes occurred. The Constitution entitles you to a jury of your peers - not a jury of your peers that agrees with your politics. No, we can separate charges from trial. This ignores the fact that Trump did break laws, and Democrats didn't. Your misunderstanding. I'm willing to learn from past great minds. There's a lot to be learned there. Sorry, not sorry, if it intimidates you. I think it fits very well with the Right. They think they are the sole exemplars of righteousness. This is weak. I expected better from you. It's like you grab the "Hitler" thing when you're flailing. It is patently absurd to think that Trump won the 2020 election. Yeah, Breitbart and OAN told them so.

false. What you don't understand is scary, isn't it? Ah, there it is. You're feeling threatened. That the brain and the body sexually differentiate in separate and distinct processes is well established science. Who you are is in your brain, not your body.

"That'll be 5 cents please," said CdnFox Your posting history screams otherwise.
