And here we have the emotional dominant brain. See how it skips the whole argument and focuses in on a point that has nothing to do with the content?

Fascinating creatures you are.

You state that I’m clueless about the topic yet I’ve had not 1 but 2 seperate friends who I’ve been with through their ENTIRE transition one from 13 the other 19 both M>F

The first one was put on pb as well as a litany of other medications and supplements. The second i only recall estrogen and t blockers. Now fast forward about 10 years. 19 is now 29, and she is still one of my best friends. The 13? 23 now and absolutely regrets the decision and constantly posts Healthcare slam posts and self harm.

So please, tell me how to educate myself more you uninformed twat.

Ah yes, I’m a shit person for presenting an ideology different from yours. But please, bring up some semantics to break down my point, see how that works for you.

My comment is to drive home the point that if you’re a small enough minority, you shouldn’t expect the rest of the population to bend to your ideology. I carry no prejudice whatsoever, trans people can be as trans as they want.

My point isn’t that “trans people don’t exist” like you and many others just infer. My point is that un-fully developed children should not be permitted to cease that development because of an emotional feeling.

If you disagree fantastic, that’s why this is a point of contention. But to demonize and vilifiy those who disagree with you is childish and leads me to believe you haven’t fully developed yourself.

I like this comment. You put the argument into reasonable perspective and have genuinely shifted my beliefs a bit. The reality is I will never willingly vote against any of these things in general election because in all honesty it doesn’t affect me.

But I do agree, growth development is variable, like how you’ve got that one guy in your freshman year bio class who has a full beard and chops. My only hangup is if you don’t make a decision is like the trolly problem. The growth is already on a set course, if you don’t intervene, is that really making a choice? Or because you’re actively NOT doing something is THAT the choice?

Alot of these issues be it trans/gay/illegal/whatever seem to be hung up more on semantics and word association than the actual issues which is stupid, and gets the movements nowhere.

I apologize again for coming off as ignorant, I’m logic dominant brain so alot of my arguments hit people the wrong way even if it’s correct.

Lash out in anger? I’m stating an opinion on a public forum. I very much understand these things exist, if you read my actual comment you’d realize that I have personal “lived experience” as you guys so loving claim. Get a grip and realize that just because people don’t agree with you doesn’t mean they’re wrong.

Anomoly noun

1. Deviation or departure from THE NORMAL or COMMON order, form, or rule.

I understand your sentiment and I dont want to come off as just “transbasher” because i have close both male and female friends who after college decided they wanted to transition. I don’t agree with their thought process but I don’t tell them or put them down for their choice because it’s their choice as an adult.

On the subject of intersex births, I find the 1 in 1700 to be very generous. Having a mother who has worked labor and delivery for the past 30 years in a large hospital, she has only ever had 2 instances where the baby was born intersex. And that’s out of tens of thousands of deliveries. In those fringe cases I think sure we can allow those to be allowed to transition because there is a biological reason evident from birth. But if you just have a hormone imbalance that doesn’t mean you need to block the natural course of growth to see “what you’d prefer”. Just let the body do it’s thing and when it’s done developing then mess around with it.

Could you explain to me how biologically this isn’t factual? The baby doesn’t pop out with a penis and the doctor go “congratulations! It’s a girl with a penis!”

Fucking delusional, you want to shift your hormones and swap sexy bits as an adult? More power to you. Wanna let undeveloped children cause irreversible damage to their body because they had a phase where they liked to cross dress? Get fucked, it’s absurd we let 18 year olds even apply to college or vote.

Will check them out, just want to make sure they’re not like what the askthedonald became where it’s another echo chamber. I like perspective, but I loathe the virtue padded safe spaces.

It’s all down to the instance owners political compass. However they ‘feel’ is how the rules are made. They’re treading a very dangerous line given how this platform is still in its infancy and we all just migrated from reddit after their owner decided to do the same.

I’m confused, what does free speech have to do with where the instance is based? This is the internet, what country is going to extradite a US citizen for making a comment on a defederated social platform?

The overreach is insane.

The rear neighbors are also the type of people to be out on a Tuesday afternoon day drinking and listening to overly loud music from a culture I’m not too hot on; so more noise barrier was necessary.

Texas suburban cul-de-sac, one side is road facing with tree/shrub coverage so it’s not obstrusive from the roadway.

The yard also sits probably a foot down from the main ground level so it doesn’t look out of place, the alternative would have been a 6/8 ft fence with like 2 ft vine trellace

Funny that you think they’re accurate now. Doesn’t matter WHO is in office, the feds tell you what they want you to hear.

Had similar scenario this summer at new house. Solution? We built a 10 ft fence.

Just add more wall when needed.

So in this situation who is the film crew pushing us off the cliff?

Exactly, if you want a good product, have the developers make what “they” want. Usually works out.

This. My mother is has ptsd just from witnessing me and my siblings choke on stupid shit.

I really recommend people learn how to perform a tracheostomy in the event that the subject can’t dislodge the object. Heimlich maneuver first and CPR if they lose consciousness, but if all else fails, sharp tube object, and spike the divot above the sternum.

Why on earth would they add a drop shadow while also having a semi white background? I want to find the original designer and squeeze a tube of super glue up their nostrils
