So, to you, stating facts that people often don't understand, misunderstand or misuse is "talking down to those who disagree"?
Do you or do you not understand the professor's argument, or the facts she cites about biological sex?
No, I want you to respond to my arguments.
Not what I have done even once. Respond to my arguments.
Also false. You repeatedly questioned my reading comprehension, called me a liar and said I was foolish.
Stop with these desperate histrionics. I explained my argument multiple times. Is the...

Stop pretending you're anti-authoritarian when you have a history of explicitly authoritarian positions, such as denying compensation to victims of excessive...
Republicans: "We are the party of the working class, and we're sick of these wealthy elites taking advantage of good, hard-working, blue-collar Americans."
Biden: "Cool. Here's a bit of legislation that will significantly benefit working-class and blue-collar Americans at the cost of wealthy...
TH once argued in another thread that people who were victims of excessive police violence shouldn't be entitled to compensation, as it was their fault they gave the a police a "reason to be excessive".
I think we can say the non-authoritarian mask has slipped quite far.
Unless the root cause is not having hormone therapy and surgery. This is what you fail to understand.
Would you use this logic to argue that, say, we shouldn't be giving antidepressants to kids? Because we should "solve the root trauma" first? What if the root trauma isn't something that can be...
Ladies and gentlemen, may a present a case study in how to argue with "totally good faith, reason, logic and science" demonstrated by Mr Horse.
"Oh, you've presented a five-point takedown explaining in detail why my sources don't effectively support my point? Well, you don't understand science...
Uh huh. He says, proving sources from explicitly anti-trans websites.
For those of your reading along this thread, I want you to notice how completely unwilling Mr Horse is to answer a basic challenge regarding his sources, and why all of his supposedly rational, science based arguments are...
It's very telling that you point out me giving a perfectly straight-forward answer to a simple question as being rightly "honest" and then immediately begin spinning my answer to add your dishonest framing to it.
I wanted to read this thread about jazz, but I find it so difficult to read the posts that nobody is posting.
This jazz-related joke comes to you courtesy of the 1950s.
It can be started after, and most often is, but there are certain biological changes after puberty that can't be entirely reversed by hormone replacement alone after you've finished a natural puberty, I believe.
Let's make this super easy for you:
A) "I don't believe children should receive any (non-psychological) treatment for gender dysphoria or for any mental health-related issues relating to the desire to transition genders."
B) "I don't believe children should receive any (non-psychological)...
I'm sorry that your very poor choice of words has lead you into a position where you have to keep calling me foolish and a liar rather than address the actual point I am making, which is that if you choose to believe there should be no medical care for children seeking transition or suffering...
Stop insisting I'm putting words in your mouth and instead explain your position better, because right now what you're essentially arguing is no different to arguing that children shouldn't receive any treatment of any kind for any other reason. You need to explain why gender affirmative care...
No, I did not. It's what you wrote. I'm not lying.
Here are your words.
I asked:
"So, what forms of treatment would you suggest are appropriate for children considering transition?"
You said:
"I don't believe it should be done at all
So, I don't suggest any treatment to young kids"
If your...
