    California AB 957 authorizes courts to take transgender kids away from parents.

    Define long term. We have both 5 and 10 year studies. Both meet the "long term" requirement. Unless your "long term" is something nigh untestable like 50 years. I'm still going through the last one but this one is not a study at all. It is from a political organization whose core statement is...

    California AB 957 authorizes courts to take transgender kids away from parents.

    I won't because that isn't permanent either. In fact its often used in cancer treatment.

    California AB 957 authorizes courts to take transgender kids away from parents.

    They still haven't had the choice of choosing their doctor taken away from them though? Is the point I'm talking about. And the bigot response was specific to "trans women not going into women's healthcare" comment not to women choosing their healthcare providers. I will read this in more...

    Hunter Biden indicted today on 3 federal gun charges

    Good?

    California AB 957 authorizes courts to take transgender kids away from parents.

    I don't believe it is zero sum. Especially since treating trans people with respect doesn't cost anyone anything. No loss what so ever for anyone except their bigotry. I recognize the differences between race and gender and how they are not directly comparable. But you do realize that these are...

    Thats okay. Feel free to go back and re-read it.

    I just clarified this point in excruciating detail for you. Did you miss it? Otherwise I can copy paste old responses and we can go in a circle for a bit. I stand by my comments as they were not contradictory. You also know this as well. If you feel they are contradictory please feel free to...

    California AB 957 authorizes courts to take transgender kids away from parents.

    I feel this and that are different things. I can't really discuss or debate the hypothetical feelings in this scenario. What is the proposition for addressing these feelings? That is like saying reducing cancer risks and saving lives from cancer is different. I don't see in what way bad men...

    Fascism - Why...

    In the case that one extrapolates self evident conclusions from the other? "I picked up groceries" and "I went to the grocery store" are two different statements but they say say the same thing. "I picked up groceries" would be impossible without going to the grocery store. Therefore saying "I...

    California AB 957 authorizes courts to take transgender kids away from parents.

    I can provide any number of studies that show positive improvement in the mental health outcomes from trans youth yes. Extrapolate from that if it was life saving or not. Sure. And they likely would have that right. Though I don't think I have ever come across a time where I thought a man was...

    I do not think they are different. One statement extrapolates self evident conclusions from the other but they are the same.

    If you are saying one is independent of the other please go for it.

    California AB 957 authorizes courts to take transgender kids away from parents.

    My thoughts overall are yes I think we should have better healthcare and access to healthcare. For sure. However the lack of healthcare that we currently have feels like a poor excuse to further remove healthcare from those that do receive it. I haven't seen strong evidence that kids are just...

    Fascism - Why...

    Except it doesn't. Seeing as homosexuality is an intrinsic quality and someone disagrees with homosexuality then it logically follows that a fundamental aspect of a whole group of people at the core of who they are is being disagreed with. If I draw the line between these two any clearer I will...

    My current guess is that they are attempting to make a semantic argument. I am curious to see what it rounds back too. I think I know where its going and hopefully I'm wrong.

    Let the Impeachment Shenanigans Begin

    I'm sorry I still can't get over how funny it is that the last name of the guy who is doing this is literally McCarthy. If this were in a book I would have though it was too on the nose.

    Fascism - Why...

    Except it is in every single instance of fascism we have ever seen. There are "undesirables" in casts that are down a rung in these societies and the actions of a fascist are justified in their own minds because anything in the name of upholding the What does it mean to disagree with...

    Cool. What is the point beyond that. Anything you'd like to extrapolate and share with the class?

    No "singular" gay gene. But go off. Do you have a point to make after this or are you done?
  20. Friend of Mara

    Fascism - Why...

    No you did not. There is no strait gene. There is no gay gene. The current theory on how sexuality is presented is not by a purely gentic representation of phenotypes. Much like a whole host of other human conditions and experiences are not linked to direct genes either even well after we have...
