Dude, a vague tweet from Biden and some images of trans people totally means the left is the one amplifying this very important and relevant issue!Got your fainting couch handy, church lady?
Believing it indecent to treat people we don’t know or understand decently is bigotry.
Feel free to address what’s in the article. Or not. Do you think those post op regret kids re lyingIs there one or is there an op-ed from a right wing idiot with an agenda?
Asking because you've posted the latter, not the former.
A fucking butcherI like how the "public square" guy is also concerned about online activists radicalizing kids in to transgenderism, facilitated by a nefarious school "counselor" (his air quotes), running roughshod over the parents so that a doctor can get rich
that is a deeply perverse portrayal of this issue
my son's best friend's mom is a surgeon who specializes in this line of work. I have spoken to her about this multiple times. your point about the numbers at work here is extremely relevant, but it's also important to point out that absolutely none of what grapedrink is implying, even when we strip the hyperbole and caricature away, aligns with how this actually goes down
I think the inference is both comically hysterical in its characterization and simultaneously kind of disgusting in the myriad implicit bigotries on display
I think it's all testimonials. Whoopdeefkndoo.Feel free to address what’s in the article. Or not. Do you think those post op regret kids re lying![]()
you got the pointI respect the rights of those people to do what they do online, as sick and misguided as they are, so I’m not getting your point here![]()
are you two?Yeah- it’s pretty gross what’s going on
It’s a private procedure. I’m sure there are ethical providers who screen their clients just like there are some who don’t.
YOUR ENTIRE CHARACTERIZATIONPlease point out what’s bigotedAre you denying that there are no activists online and at schools who push confused kids into procedures? Again- there is an NYT article pointing out that this is happening at ***some*** level. There is also data that a significant portion of young girls who want to transition are on the autism spectrum, which should give everyone some pause as to whether these patients are able to properly to articulate their feelings and intentions.
Funny how you have no problem with the bad faith actors on the activist side who regularly use bullying, coercion and emotional blackmail to push their agenda, who have succeeded in paying at least some people into irreversible medical interventions that probably didn’t need it. If those types weren’t so aggressive in pushing their message on everyone, and if they were willing to have an honest discussion without resorting to those tactics, then I wouldn’t be making here types of posts in the first place.
All it does is prolong it. Then, when they have a festering sh!t hole where their dick used to be, or a large part of their arm missing which has been turned into a non-functional phallus, they realize mutilating themselves didn't make them feel better, and the rainy day 12 gauge happens againEvery one of these kids sounds like they were a rainy day from blowing a 12-gauge. I am not against banning irreversible chemical/surgical procedures on minors but if the post-op suicide rate is lower than the pre-op one I'd rather have the option open.
Ok, now do offshore surgeriesayayayaya QUOTESTACKS
you got the point
are you two?
do you know you are but what am I, also?

YOUR ENTIRE CHARACTERIZATION
bad external forces tricking the kid, the dig at the educational system, the dig at the parents, the dig at the doctor
jesus christ
are you really trying to defend that fkn cartoon as a rational argument against....transgenders? against the medical establishment? against school counselors? against gender affirming surgery?
let's zoom out a little bit and revisit the numbers, since we're so concerned with this scourge sweeping the nation, consuming our precious babies...
.
A total of 48 019 patients who underwent GAS were identified, including 25 099 (52.3%) who were aged 19 to 30 years. The most common procedures were breast and chest procedures, which occurred in 27 187 patients (56.6%), followed by genital reconstruction (16 872 [35.1%]) and other facial and cosmetic procedures (6669 [13.9%]). The absolute number of GAS procedures rose from 4552 in 2016 to a peak of 13 011 in 2019 and then declined slightly to 12 818 in 2020. Overall, 25 099 patients (52.3%) were aged 19 to 30 years, 10 476 (21.8%) were aged 31 to 40, and 3678 (7.7%) were aged12 to 18 years. When stratified by the type of procedure performed, breast and chest procedures made up a greater percentage of the surgical interventions in younger patients, while genital surgical procedures were greater in older patients
3,678. over five years. with only one third of those receiving bottom surgery
a medical procedure, by the way, that the hospital vets thoroughly with psychological screens and extensive prior work-up procedures
Oh okay so the parents get more time with their kids by that logic. Sounds like a clear-cut improvement over status quo to me.All it does is prolong it. Then, when they have a festering sh!t hole where their dick used to be, or a large part of their arm missing which has been turned into a non-functional phallus, they realize mutilating themselves didn't make them feel better, and the rainy day 12 gauge happens again
I have it on good authority Russia amputating Ukraine's Donetsk, Luhansk, and Crimea is not our problem.Ok, now do offshore surgeries
And I've heard the vetting is anything but thorough
Yes- of people who regret transitioning and how they were pushed into it. Which is my whole fookin point- there are manipulators and manipulated on both sides.I think it's all testimonials. Whoopdeefkndoo.
Thanks for pointing out the link to mental health! Are we back to calling it dysphoria nowEvery one of these kids sounds like they were a rainy day from blowing a 12-gauge. I am not against banning irreversible chemical/surgical procedures on minors but if the post-op suicide rate is lower than the pre-op one I'd rather have the option open.
Again- who is creating new holidays and appointing crossdressing luggage thieves to made up cabinet positions? Which ilk is going along with the madness and calling everyone who disagrees a bigot1. It's literally nothing in the grand scheme of things.
2. It's the right making this a big deal.
So your evidence is someone who does this for a living, in the private sector and probably for big bucks, telling you there are no issues or ethical concerns? Shocker!ayayayaya QUOTESTACKS

What cartoon are we talking about here?are you really trying to defend that fkn cartoon as a rational argument against....transgenders? against the medical establishment? against school counselors? against gender affirming surgery?
I am very clear with all of my posts that the activist community, many of whom are not trans, who are the problem. Not the trans people themselves.Transpeople are just a convenient outgroup for fascists to hate on.
There's always been crossdressing thieves. GiulianiAndTrump.jpeg There's a day for everything.Yes- of people who regret transitioning and how they were pushed into it. Which is my whole fookin point- there are manipulators and manipulated on both sides.

The reason why there is so much discussion around trans is because the gay rights activists were out of a job roughly a decade ago. They decided to make it the new cause celeb.
you people are absolute fkn morons sometimesA fucking butcher
What a terrible person

I've been through major medical procedures, I know what they put you through before performing elective surgery. you do not.
