    Do Extreme Interventions for Trans Youths Save Lives?

    I wholeheartedly agree. I will have to actually go through and read the article a bit more thoroughly in order to respond to this, I’ll admit that I kind of skimmed it the first time round And again stress my position/education on this topic is that of a layman. So I will do my best to cypher...

    Do Extreme Interventions for Trans Youths Save Lives?

    I think we can both agree that is a worthwhile goal Now I googled Manhattan Institute. Please note this is only my initial reaction The results all tell me that it is a Conservative Think Tank. Red flag to me right away. And I say that as someone from outside the US (and would say the same if...

    Do Extreme Interventions for Trans Youths Save Lives?

    I was curious so I tried googling “Chemical castration as a medical means.” It came up with various results that basically said that it was used to reduce libido, in the past used as a way to punish multiple sex crimes (not anymore though?) and to treat certain forms of cancer. So I did another...

    Do Extreme Interventions for Trans Youths Save Lives?

    Fair enough I mean, to be fair, Trans care is fairly recent in (Western) medical science. It was studied upon early in the 20th century, but we lost all that information. Thanks Nazis!!! (Not even kidding, that’s what books they burnt. Among others.) Scientists will constantly question what...

    Teacher and 4 others charged in forcing a special needs student to eat his own vomit.

    Do Extreme Interventions for Trans Youths Save Lives?

    To be quite honest, that sounds more like an American concern (not saying it’s only an American thing, obviously. That happens everywhere.) The rest of the world doesn’t really question medical associations to such a degree because….well our medicine is largely bought by our government. In my...

    Students Are Pushing Back Against Gender Ideology In Their Schools

    Oh I actually agree with you here. Trans is about transitioning to better fit into their gender identity. No one claims that these individuals are not originally biological male/female. Hence the surgery to begin with Interestingly bans on medical care that is typically performed on trans...

    Students Are Pushing Back Against Gender Ideology In Their Schools

    Whilst I agree I mean, that is typical but it doesn’t always occur in that specific way, right. Like for example a person can be born with XX Male syndrome. Which may even be underreported Does that make the individual less of a male? Biologically speaking? (Idk, I’m not a geneticist lol) And...

    American Medical Bill

    And this is why, despite the longer wait times and clearly overworked doctors, I will never ever complain about our Medicare system here. And indeed the government wants to constantly chip away at it and adopt a more US style approach, since they make a fraction of what the US does in terms of...

    Perhaps. History is hard to truly shake, after all I do remember an old joke we had. In America, someone getting their head blown off is just a PG. But dare to show a nipple and it instantly becomes an R. This is years ago now, so I don’t know if that’s still true. Especially post internet and...

    Because the common criticism of homosexuality was that it was a “sinful lifestyle.” I realise that my sarcasm doesn’t always translate well in text form, due to the lack of tonal inflections. And I apologise for that. I kind of figured such a criticism was in the “minds of the mainstream enough”...

    Ahh so straight is a lifestyle then? Okay, describe your lifestyle. I’ll bet we have some differing lifestyles. Almost like people are more than just who they err like to end up in bed with, eh?;) :grimacing: Or maybe that’s all who we are, idk

    That…:I’m not going to lie, worries me. Because, imo, in order to have a good and healthy relationship with sex, you have to tackle it head on. So to speak.

    Lol reminds me of our cultural celebrations Usually we want to rid our overcrowded fridges of overflowing food. But if it’s food gained during a religious festival, it’s considered “sinful” to throw it away. So I just take it all to work. If they throw it out, that’s their business, not mine...

    On the showing of the “pride flag, and appropriate activism.

    Whilst I agree. I mean. It is kind of a “vital” part of a lot of people’s lives. So it will be a natural talking point among friends I will say, the US has a kind of an odd hang up about it. Like I grew up on nudity, sex talks, frank sex education ect. That doesn’t seem to be the experience...

    On the showing of the “pride flag, and appropriate activism.

    I know. It’s just that all I want to do in life is just have a drink and geek out about stupid stuff. Gay, straight, male female. I don’t care. I see the animosity towards or in between such groups as ultimately useless stupid idiocy. My naive dream is to just drunkenly game with folks as we...

    Agreed. Seems to cross barriers, apparently Le sigh Why can’t we just all get along and drink together? (Or eat, if someone doesn’t want a drink.)

    I mean to be completely fair, I’ve heard similar sentiments from heterosexual men. Usually towards women
