Current Affairs 2024 POTUS race

Why is the suicide rate with them sky high though? Nobody ever seems to ask the question of why this is, because it isn't because of lack of medical intervention, it didn't have the same rates 10 years ago but surely just as many kids we're trans then? What changed? Unless medical intervention is seen as a magic solution to kids without the real understanding of what the impact of that is. Perhaps it is based on living an alternative life online that they think works in real life? After all kids also self diagnose mental illness as well and live that online. I have an issue with a kid saying something and adults going along with it. Yet on another million and one subjects, you would never trust a kids input because, well they are kids.

Suppose point I'm making is maybe the issue isn't face value yet it's treated as such. There is a lot to it that often gets ignored by people, or witheld by the media, almost like the American medical system would benefit from kids convinced they need medical intervention?

10 years ago transgender people weren’t a massive target in the culture war. They weren’t being told daily that they are a problem and that most of them just want to invade women’s sports for a sporting advantage. Or bathrooms and jails just so that they can perve on people or rape them. Or that schools are performing transition surgery on them when they go to school.

Do you think that children under the age of 18 can realise they are gay? If so then why can’t a child under 18 realise they are transgender?

Being transgender is not a new thing at all. The vitriol and weaponising it is.

Some states in the US you can buy a gun before a lottery ticket!
As for

why do you like him? After everything he has done and said and despite having zero affiliation with the USA - you suck him off, hard!

Why??

If he was peaceful and decent I’d understand but he’s a bigot

This is where I'm lost too.
So many normal decent people who seem to turn on a dime and start screaming about TDS and MSM and how this guy who's clearly obviously scum of the earth is being hard done by.
I can only assume these people have really bad expensive life assurance. House paint that will last forever, the pinalli pen and a couple of encyclopedia sets in their living room and subscriptions to countless magazines they never read.

The strangest bit for me is that every single person in this current affairs forum who supports Trump isn't American.

Yes

What if the parents disagree and wish to prevent him/her doing so mate?

Parents don't decide on "legally marry, drink, vote, give consent for sex or even legally change their own name", the law does, so why does the parent decide on the outcome of their gender wishes?

Clue “stop the boats”

They have this common

 

[WA Toffee]

By you, i meant the pack in general.

1 person disagrees, or has a difference in opinion. ATTACK!!!

By definition, it's barely a forum.

I haven't been unreasonable. I've simply pointed out the insane levels of bias and tried to offer a counter. It's clearly not wanted, unless the opinions always align with the pack.

Pointless.

Enjoy your insane Trump Deranged echo chamber.

Really. You post a link to a youtube video and expect to be taken seriously. (or was that inentional? post a stupid link to try and prove your point?)

If someone had posted an article from the Guardian it would be met with the same response.

Try harder.

 

[Kever10]

@Kever10 why do you like rapists mate? I assume the middle finger means you endorse them? Always the ones you least suspect isn't it!

Oh, i thought that was just how you said hello.

I do apologise.

I can only speak from experience of working with some of the young people I have who want to transition… I can’t explain the how’s and whys .. it’s beyond my skill set by far… but I do know that when a young person knows they are in the wrong body they just know … it’s as simple as that. But it’s not easy and it doesn’t happen overnight, it’s a very long and very hard process even to be considered for any medical intervention, and even then the process takes years before any kind of surgery takes place.

That's just how I respond to people who support rapists pal. Why do you like rapists?

You show me where he was convicted of being a racist, and ill apologise and leave the forum.

Do you genuinely feel that a kid should cannot legally marry, drink, vote, give consent for sex or even legally change their own name should be able to decide they are a gender they are biologically not and make the choice to start the process for gender reassignment?

I said is that it is a process. A process individualized to the patient. They don't walk into a doctors office (or a school) and walk out the same day having had surgery or even receiving medication. Again, the first step is an psychological evaluation followed by counseling/therapy. There are full fledge evidenced-based guidelines (both medical and mental health) on how to care for people with gender dysphoria of all ages - only a small portion of any of it has to do with gender reassignment.

But if you want a "gotcha" moment, yes I believe kids, adolescents, adults struggling with their identity deserve care, support, counseling and interventions deemed appropriate and desired by the patient, relevant family and their physicians. I do not believe outsiders belong in that decision making process. Mind your own damn business!


But I'm done with this here. This is an election thread and this has little to do with the election at this point.

He's a rapist. You don't need to leave the forum, nobody asked you to do that, because everyone knows he wasn't convicted. That doesn't mean he wasn't a rapist. And that doesn't mean you don't support a rapist. Let that sink in.

Gender isn't biological
