You give ricka too much credit. He’s never based an injection on science, whether for this, climate change, or anything . His argument here stems from his dismissal of gays and lesbians (they aren’t natural, being allowed to be married is wrong, etc.)

His lack of concern over the bill I mentioned is also linked to his rabid devotion to the modern authoritarian qop: go back and read his defenses of the trump motivated attack on the Capitol (the attackers didn’t have weapons, it was not an attempt to disrupt the government, and more). If the right proposes anything it’s fine with him.

Os, in the end, it’s very safe to attribute his objection to bigotry – history supports that.

I’ve met and spoken with detransitioners who have said they were rushed into transitioning, with no counseling to determine if or how their own sexual histories may have led them to decide that they were transgender. And they can’t restore the parts of their bodies that were removed, they have to live with it.

There is growing evidence that many kids who are gay are being steered towards transitioning, and also evidence that without “affirming” treatment, they resolve their issues. Many parents report that their children desisted once their access to the internet was restricted, so there must be more study.

There are too many bills threatening parents with prison either for not affirming their child’s gender, or for affirming it, and it’s a huge question that needs better answers before we send parents who are confused about this to prison for trying to do the right thing.

NHS is now reviewing the practice of therapists prescribing blockers off-label, and is now placing a policy that they may only be prescribed as part of strict-protocol studies. You may object that this article is in the Telegraph, but that would be poisoning the well. It is an accure description of what Dr. Cass is uncovering.

If nothing else, it’s better to take a “wait and see” and demeaning Rick may be your hobby, but I agree with him here. Our sex is determined by our genetics, and gender is a social structure. According to Dennis Kavanaugh, too many gay and lesbian kids are being steered towards medical treatment for symptoms that merely are contrary to the gender expectations that we have for males and females. That’s one of the reasons that Tavistock was shut down.

There is no settled science on this.

As usual, you have no clue, and your bigoted notions are just crap.

60 – 80% remit or desist. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8596152/

So minors should not be allowed to make this decision, especially against the wishes of the parents. Even if the parents are ok with surgery or puberty blockers, they should be properly educated that they are sterilizing their children and permanently cutting off parts of their bodies (although you would think they would know that).

What parent would allow surgery or chemical castration, knowing 80% will want to reverse it later in life? Bad parents – that is who.

The UK just came out with a sane policy against surgery or puberty blockers for minors – and I couldn’t agree more.

Only a crazy person (or a democrat or dean) would allow a minor to make a life changing decision which will sterilize them – because of a social contagion and fad. That is just nuts. I hope every state makes it illegal for minors to get surgery or hormone blockers and makes it illegal for any third party to try to persuade a minor they are “born in the wrong body”.

The fact that teachers and schools are conspiring to do this behind parents backs is truly a crime. That adults would do this to children is on par with priests raping children – truly a massive betrayal. Morally wrong.

If an adult wants to chemically castrate themselves, sterilize themselves and undergo irreversible surgery – I say go for it. But to try to influence a child to do this or even to permit it is truly evil.

Kids – wait until you are adults and 80% of you will be happy you waited.

By the way – A large swath of the trans kids are merely gay or lesbian. Nobody is born into the wrong body – that is just bull.

When is the last time you have answered a poll? It has been decades for me. I screen my landline calls and only answer if I recognize the number. My phone alerts me to potential spam calls and I usually do the same as with my landline.

If I do accidently answer the phone and a computer is talking I hang up.

My point is that nobody answers the pollsters anymore. They must be getting a very very skewed sample if they aren’t making it all up in the first place.

So I wouldn’t worry to much. The polls will no doubt turn out to be very wrong again.

I really hope you are wrong here and people need to work to make sure this doesn’t happen.
