News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I meant to say puberty blockers, not hormone blockers. Which should have been quite obvious from the context.
Vanishingly small numbers? There are hundreds of teens who get surgeries and thousands who get drugs.

Your claim that it all only happens because of these kids agencies is unsubstantiated.

How do you explain the doubling of numbers of kids who say they are trans?

And you claim nobody ever regrets transitioning, which is a lie.

There is nothing to counter. May look for studies next week when I have a notebook and not just a phone.
You want a list of names, or what are you asking?

Is that being taught at school?
The people pushing transitioning as a solution for kids emotional issues.
If all indications you have seen for the topic being pushed on kids are my comments, you are in extreme denial.

How do you evaluate the oppression of a group?

Sorry I think it is all just scientism, fueled by socialist subversion theory.

The whole approach of blaming everything on oppression is a receipt for failure.

In a country that had a black president not long ago, too.

What statistical rule do you mean? Mumbling "systemic oppression" is not statistics.

By selecting to live in an attractive location, you mean? Makes sense.

I never said "totalistic", what do you even mean by that?

I think "systemic" is just a way to sound somewhat deep without actually saying anything real, though. A magical explanation for everything.

Survivor bias?
I never mentioned any specific laws or senators, you did.

But I have seen videos of such drag shows with kids, and examples of the debated books.

So stop bullshitting me. It is absolutely about sexualization and pornographic content. That other examples may exist is besides the point. Specific laws may be badly written, but the intent is certainly not to make Ms Doubtfire illegal.

And even Anne Frank may not be appropriate for children of all ages. Afaik it does contain passages about sex.

The first study is a survey of surgeons, which seems rather useless. What warrants the assumptions that they would learn about the long term outcomes of their surgeries?

The second claims to have looked into several studies, which might include ones like the first one. Would be nice to have an actually useful direct study, especially for young people.

As for cosmetic surgery, you brought that up. I don't think it is as worrying, as many of them are reversible, and they don't sterilize the recipients. Somebody regretting to get a nose job is hardly in the same category as someone regretting they cut off their penis.

Yeah you can say that, but then you just signal that you don't want to be taken seriously.

Not sure how you manage to live in so much denial, but if you can truly pull it off, congratulations! May it work out well for you!

You just assume most black people would feel oppressed? And how would you disentangle that opinion from them being taught they are oppressed in school?

Would you say it absolutely doesn't matter how black people feel about it? Wouldn't that make the whole subject somewhat ridiculous?

And of course a black lawyer is a data point against the claims of systemic oppression.

MY fantasies? It is a possible side effect of the transitioning methods. You seem completely unaware of any actual facts regarding the whole topic.
The only evidence YOU have given is "x is transphobic", and I gave you arguments why that isn't even true.

Can you give any actual arguments against Biggs criticism?

My comments being flagged is merely a good indicator for what the real mass hysteria is. Ironic, given that "they ban books" is one of the most prominent arguments by the trans ideology crowd.

What got deleted, and what am I supposedly?

Your comment also says a lot about you.

I don't feel ashamed for worrying about the unwarranted mutilation of children.

What is your excuse?

That appears to be one single case.

And yet she is a black lawyer, despite of all the assumed systemic oppression. Maybe she knows more about the actual challenges of black people than the CRT theoreticians?
So is the mass hysteria now the belief that there is a mass hysteria against trans people, or the belief that there is a mass hysteria of kids being pushed to transition?
Sociologists seem perfectly suited to that kind of study.

What makes Biggs a "known transphobe"? Sounds like mere ad hominem.

Peer review doesn't automatically mean much.

Even I can immediately spot a flaw in the study: they made a survey with self-selected respondents, and asked about suicidal ideation. That way, they missed people who already committed suicide, or who may be too depressed to respond.

I've never heard demons and imps as an argument.

Can you explain to me why children need to see drag shows, which are about sexual attraction, and why they need porn in the classroom?

The correct word would have been puberty blockers (which presumably are also hormones).

Most people who believe they are trans actually grow out of it. Puberty blockers (and also testosterone) have severe side effects (or main effects). Therefore more harm is done by overprescribing them.

There is not even scientific evidence yet that trans people actually exist (as in somebody born in the wrong body somehow).

"Ah it is said" - yeah in the same way that "it is said" that withholding puberty blockers causes harm and whatever else you claim.

The issue is kids being transitioned, in whatever way. The pills build up towards surgery.
Are you saying doctors routinely overprescripe Tylenol, but they never err when they prescribe puberty blockers? Because of science?
Citations? If you look into the actual studies, the picture may not be so clear cut. For example a lot if results actually only taje older people into account (who transitioned when they were older).

What analogy do you see to the satanic cult thing? Children were told they had been abused, and many caregivers were being sentenced. Who is being told what in the trans hype? Children are falsely being told they are not trans? Then they falsely believe they are not trans and accuse their doctors? Or how does the analogy work?

The dysphoria actually dissolves in most cases, not just in a few cases. And the hormone blockers allegedly also prevent the dysphoria from dissolving in many cases.Hormone blockers also have severe side effects, even possible sterilisation.

Since most people end up not actually being trans, more people are now hurt by pushing transitioning as the solution for everything.

And you absolutely can not deny that it is being pushed.

Several hundred mutilated teens per year, without a solid medical basis. There is no medical test to diagnose that somebody is trans.

And you don't know how many are pushed into surgeries later by the hormone blockers, which already have irreversible effects themselves.

And numbers also haven't tripled in a few years just because society is more accepting or whatever (while we supposedly have a moral panic against it, too).
