Therefore your conclusion doesn't follow your premise. Duh If something is a natural state of affairs, clearly it is "supposed to be" in nature. And if there is no harm then there is no justification for a post-natural civilization to attack that behavior. What definition would you like to invent for "supposed to be."🙄 Quote

Claimed harm 2. Harm 3. WTF? 4. Harm. You don't have even an inkling of how to formulate a logical argument, do you? Quote

In Saskatchewan and Alberta they just passed parental rights legislation where schools are now required to notify parents. Many of the woke activists claim that parents are going to beat up their kids therefore they don't have to tell them. One such group is the Canadian Center for Policy Alternatives a far left woke organization that is mainstream among left wing political parties. https://www.policyalternatives.ca/news-research/saskatchewans-parents-bill-of-rights-is-going-to-hurt-queer-youth/ Here is their argument on why parents should be excluded on trans issues. Of course it's bullshit; beating your child is already illegal regardless of ones gender identity. Yet nonetheless they make the argument. There's also arguments among the left who claim trans should be put into foster care if their parents "misgender" them. Edited yesterday at 09:06 PM by West Quote

Civilization suppresses the savagery of the natural world for mutual benefit. But that was never in question, nor debated. However, to suppress our instincts and appetites justly, one must show that activities produce external harm. Again, homosexuality is both 1) natural, 2) harmless. It is "supposed to be" and there is no justification for discouraging a harmless activity. Quote

There are varying ways society curtails such things through varying degrees of intervention Religion, philosophy, and legislation are some examples. Societal views are another. In some cultures, showing the bottom of your foot is deemed to be disrespectful and you are not supposed to do such a thing, tho not illegal and "harmless".

Probably better to prevent assaults than to say we can always arrest parents afterwards. I think the argument against notifying parents is valid, but it isn't anything to do with medical procedures. The argument for notifying them is justifiable also, but I don't agree with it. Quote Looks like someone has a new patronizing catch phrase ! Michael Hardner

I dont think its valid. Its bigoted against christianity and fear mongering. It's also illogical given that parents are notified about a plethora of other things and the child abuse thing is also address by mandatory reporting legislation. The medical procedures thing is all the same conversation that's been going on over the past five or six years. Don't think I have to go back and find every quote about it.. you can research that yourself. Certainly within some on the left they think a Christians child should be removed from their care to give puberty blockers and is mainstream ndp ideology where I'm from. Add to that place like California using parents views on gender as a determining factor in custody cases... which is disgusting Edited yesterday at 10:10 PM by West Quote

As long as they don't harm others, no problem. But their employers also have the right to set and enforce standards of behavior as a condition of employment, as they should. Quote

Such a thing would fly in the face of the Canadian constitution Quote
