    And the day you provide links to posts where you've raged about people receiving knee surgeries and cleft lip surgeries is the day I start thinking of you as a principled individual and not a shitty little transphobe. :async:
    And the day you provide links to posts where you've raged about people receiving neurosurgery for the exact same reason is the day I start thinking of you as a principled individual and not a shitty little transphobe. :async:

    Are you literally retarded? Republicans care enough about it to ban those name changes for trans people. :brood:
    And the day you provide links to posts where you've raged about married women and adoptees changing their legal names to help "validate their identities" is the day I start thinking of you as a principled individual and not a shitty little transphobe.

    And yet your outrage towards the politicians attempting to block them from doing just that seems to be almost non-existent. :chris:

    And yet you seem less upset about their choice than private citizens that want to get their names changed. :brood:
    And the day you provide links to posts where you've raged about people receiving knee surgeries and cleft lip surgeries is the day I start thinking of you as a principled individual and not a shitty little transphobe. :async:

    I have a friend that was born with a cleft lip, they had surgery performed on them as a baby. It wouldn't have killed them to wait until they were 18, but it would likely have been damaging for their mental health to walk around like that. Where was your outrage then?

    Minors have knee surgery regularly. They won't die if they wait until they're 18, but those surgeries happen regularly in the hopes of improving their quality of life. Where was your outrage then?
    You know there's a whole bunch of states where minors are allowed to have sex as young as 13 and 14 so long as it's with someone fairly close to their own age, right? And a whole bunch of states where minors are allowed to have sex as young as 16 with anyone of any age, with no restriction on whether or not that person is in a position of authority over them? Where's your outrage over that? Where's your principled analysis concluding that trans kids in Ohio should be legally allowed to consent to surgeries at the age of 13 since their classmates are legally allowed to fuck each other all they want at the same age? Or should they have to wait until they're 16, and have surgery while their classmates are legally fucking anyone they want to so long as their partner isn't in a position of authority over them?

    Your outrage is extremely selective here. :marathon:

    You have to forgive him, the Youtube video UA watched to get his blood all angried up didn't cover all that other stuff.
    I'm sure it was because of time limitations, and not that the Youtuber is a transphobe.

    Speaking of shameless - "here, let me make up a thing you didn't say and rage about you saying it because I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about."

    Are you splitting hairs, here? 17 year olds are still kids.

    MINORS moron, as I've said repeatedly, MINORS don't get GRS for gender transition.

    Still no. To all of it.

    Funny that you never bitched about it or apparently even knew about it before today. Because those manipulating your opinion never told you to. Oh, and when an amendment was introduced to the health care ban bills to ban "all of it" - Republicans voted it down unanimously. So the people with actual power to fuck us don't agree with you about "all of it.

    You would have to ask "them." My reason is I will not be forced to affirm something I do not believe.

    No one ask you to "affirm" it - question is, given it doesn't fucking concern you, why are you all in a rage about it. Just live your life and stop trying to supervise what the people that you look down on are doing with theirs. We don't need your fucking affirmation.

    No elective medical procedures of any kind performed on juveniles to "affirm their gender"? None at all? Bullshit.
    Which is not what I said, but hey, what's a little putting-words-in-mouths if it backs up my rant?

    Again, slower: IT'S NONE OF YOUR GODDAMN BUSINESS. Move along.

    My personal opinion is that juveniles should not be getting cosmetic surgery.

    Sing it with me: IT'S NONE OF YOUR GODDAMN BUSINESS. My cousin, in high school, got a nose job in 1979. No one thought anything horrifying about it. Minors, with parental consent, get elective surgery - some of it cosmetic - literally every fucking business day of the week and you've never said a mumbling word on your decade plus of showing your ass here - but were supposed to believe that while the anti-trans eliminationist campaign blows up all around us JUST NOW it occurred to you to take a noble stand against elective surgery for minors?

    Yeah. We're not as gullible as you and FF are.
    And fuck off with that "cis" horseshit.

    No.
    When you can direct me to your previous rants about how being called "hetero" is offensive, you can get back to me on this because it is functionally the exact same form of speech. You don't get to decide.

    Your feelings do not dictate reality.

    Interesting take from someone who thinks the world is supposed to respect his intense feelings of disapproval about behavior that is NONE OF HIS GODDAMN BUSINESS.

    You are arguing that someone mutilating themself and becoming a life-long pharmaceutical customer based on a feeling, is vital to their mental health.

    Says he has no idea who right wing chuds are - then literally recites the central tenet of their religion verbatim.

    Again, haven't been that gullible since I was a toddler chief.

    How are you supposed to know that any of your assertions about necessity or lack thereof have any relevance?
    Upon what objective knowledge do you make your claims?

    None, it just makes you feel icky when trans-pork makes your pencil stiff and that pisses you off. How do I know this? The same way you know what is and is not necessary for a trans person's mental well being and pursuit of happiness.

    My claim is exactly as solid as yours.

    And yet, among all those who have done so, you can count the known cases of expressed regret in the low double digits.

    Grown folks getting knee replacement express regret at a rate of about 20%, trans folks who have medically transitioned - no matter the age of the cohort - regret the choice at a rate something less than 2% which is true of almost no other surgical procedure for which we have data.

    So how is it that YOU, in your profound ignorance know them better than they apparently know themselves?

    Because you FEEEEEEEEL like your opinion MUST be right because reasons?

    Nothing so distinguishes the heart of a chud like the passionate refusal to admit they were wrong about anything - "it's not me, it must be the people who actually know something about the topic who have it wrong"

    This? This is what you're hanging your hat on? Some generic dude arguing that boys are boys and girls are girls?



    Yes, you CAN define "woman". It's two X chromisomes and female reproductive organs in an adult human. True for 99+% of cases, true enough for casual conversation.

    In what way are they remotely similar? Where did I mention mass shootings or blackmail? Is everything just reduced to "unquestioning, unconditional support" vs "you must answer for everyone who opposes any part of it, AND everything they ever said"?

    Actually, he's the dude that said just last week that he believes medical professionals who provide gender-affirming care (and he did NOT specify "for kids") should be convicted of a capital crime and executed.

    Among, like, a few thousand other monstrous things.

    I can show you an abstract about a case where a baby is born with an entirely typical femaple phenotype (look it up)
    This person grows up and gives birth to a baby with an entirely female phenotype.

    Both individuals have a Y chromosome.

    They are very much not a one-in-a-million outlier.

    So...you were saying?


    (there's a great deal more on chromosomes but it's quite late for working tomorrow)

    What's your point? That minority outliers exist? Granted. But that does not negate the reality of most human biology, and does exactly fuckall to defend the position that anyone is obligated to refer to a boy as a girl because they say so.

    "Genetic abnormalities exist, therefore I am what I say I am and you're a bigot if you don't validate it."
    Fuck completely off with that nonsense.

    So, I saw a review on "The Turner Diaries" a bit back.
    The bit with "the day of the rope" happens where the Nazis all over the country hang everybody.
    And since it's indiscriminate, they hang a bunch of their own people too.
    Their logic is "they should WANT to die for the cause, and if they don't, then they deserve to die".
    That pops in my head whenever an Albert type lazily hand-waves away someone's liberty and safety.
    "They should WANT to die".
    Yes, I really think the righties are as far gone as the "Turner Diaries" characters at this point.

    The Republican bills make that impossible.
    Unless "go about your business" means "get all the way back in the closet, freak".
