    project much?

    To Be or Not To Be: your gender (Vivek R.)

    WHO relies on WPATH and WPATH is corrupt to the bones. This isn't really WHO's fault, nor is it the fault of doctors who follow WPATH's guidelines. Medicine is a HUGE discipline and specialists are frequently relied upon by other doctors. It's just that in this case the "specialists" (WPATH)...

    To Be or Not To Be: your gender (Vivek R.)

    Hey, an honest post! The GAC propaganda would have us believe that we can eat our cake and have it too. We cannot. Hormones are dangerous and have irreversible side effects. So IF, and it's a big, huge, gravel-hauling IF, we could find ways to make social transitioning, and puberty blockers...

    What if it's not? Don't you think we ought to have really rock solid data before we pursue dangerous, irreversible protocols?

    Another bad faith argument, sigh.

    To Be or Not To Be: your gender (Vivek R.)

    I'm inferring from your posts that either you don't understand how healthcare works, or you don't understand statistics, or you don't understand meta-studies. either that or you DO understand those things and you're intentionally misconstruing them. In any case, I'm not going to teach you these...

    To Be or Not To Be: your gender (Vivek R.)

    For those of you reading along this thread, I want you to know that I'm not going to respond to mr. flame for the simple reason that he started his exchange with me by lying about the nature of my posts. In my book, if you have to lie to further your argument, you probably don't have a very good...

    To Be or Not To Be: your gender (Vivek R.)

    Which of those statements do you think are false? Do you really think - given everything we know about childhood cognitive development - that a child can understand adult love and sexuality and society enough to make permanent, life altering decisions, that will cause them a lifetime of...

    To Be or Not To Be: your gender (Vivek R.)

    We're not off to a good start when your first claim is a bald faced lie, but let's proceed anyway and see if things get better... Next, you still haven't defined what "trans" means now, in 2024. And you haven't yet defended your definition of gender. I asked if the one you gave is the one...

    This is the sort of errant pedantry up with which you make us all put :( For KIDS dude. I said "kids" many times in our exchange.

    To Be or Not To Be: your gender (Vivek R.)

    To be clear, is this the definition you're going with? Okay, this is progress, are you agreeing that GD is a mental disorder? How about we discuss this in good faith, ffs. "trans" is a fast-moving term, dictionaries don't really keep up with the latest definitions. So what definition of...

    To Be or Not To Be: your gender (Vivek R.)

    Ah ok. I would say that at this point, ANY use of GAC is premature. Again, it's dangerous, irreversible, and it is not proven to be helpful.

    To Be or Not To Be: your gender (Vivek R.)

    which what? seriously, what are you asking here?

    To Be or Not To Be: your gender (Vivek R.)

    We can start with the meta study done in the Cass report.

    To Be or Not To Be: your gender (Vivek R.)

    Hey, we might agree here! But the thing is that doctors are rushing into GAC without doing all of the things you just listed. To be clear, they "kind of" do them, but the meta studies show that the studies and research so far has provided only low quality evidence, and in the world of medicine...

    To Be or Not To Be: your gender (Vivek R.)

    why would that absolve the doctors? Does that somehow suspend "first, do no harm" ?

    To Be or Not To Be: your gender (Vivek R.)

    Are you willing to provide definitions and then defend them? Until you provide and defend definitions for gender and gender identity, this argument is logically meaningless. While you're at it, can you give us a definition of "transgender"? For example does it include transvestites? None of...

    To Be or Not To Be: your gender (Vivek R.)

    @sunrise, the following isn't really directed at you, but at the posters in general. It strikes me that there is a lot of semantic confusion on this topic, in the world and on this thread. What I'm about to say has been debated before on RF, but that doesn't mean it's been settled: I continue...

    Trump Plan for Ideological Screening of Immigrants

    I agree with your assessment of the book, but I fault him for lying about it.
