No, I haven’t read the thousands but you’re discounting the hundreds of people who regret their decision like it’s ok.
Do you have any actual examples of this occurring, aside from just your belief that it is occurring?
Meanwhile you're discounting the experience of the far, far larger majority of successes, to justify your position that the rug should be pulled out from under them. Literally with appeals to emotion, an irrational position.
If I provide you with examples will you agree with me about the abuse that’s happening with children concerning transgender issues?
No, because taking kids seriously when they report gender dysphoria and receiving proper care which includes counseling and occasionally puberty blockers isn't abuse.
I haven’t discounted anything but there is a point of no return once a person starts down that road, it ends up the only option. I’m sure at some point the hundreds who regret their decision now were part of those who were happy at first, unfortunately for them it’s too late to go back once body parts have been removed.
If your reasoning is that it shouldn't be allowed because some had regrets than that is, indeed, discounting the far, far larger majority of successes.
I can't really agree to something I haven't seen.
No, but it is up to government to put up guard rails for protection. I’m all for parents, doctors for making these decisions and another reason I was not in favor of the Covid Mandates either.So, are we to believe that the state should decide such personal matters and not parents, their children, and the doctors they choose? And this is from "conservatives" who supposedly believe in "small government"?
Oh, my aching back!
So, got some examples?
To a point yes, but the problem is determining where that point is.
And yet we know that masking has saved many lives according to the extensive research on this, therefore you're not even close to being consistent.
If some teachers overstep the boundaries, then it's up to the parents in their local school districts to deal with this with their school boards. That's what "conservatism" looks like.
You don’t know that and there wasn’t conclusive evidence on that
I believe it’s the parents sounding the alarm, pointing out the abuses from teachers and school boards that has caused the government to step in just like in Virginia.
Yeah, we do. I honestly cannot believe that anyone is making such a claim, at this point.
Have masks saved “many” lives? You don’t know that and there are other studies that say there were no difference whether masks or no masks in certain areas.
I just gave you a ton of studies showing that they do save lives and have saved lives during the pandemic. Read and learn. One study doesn't demonstrate much. A collection of studies all pointing to the same conclusion, does.
I do know because I read and reread peer-reviewed studies, which clearly indicate that masking is 40%+ safer than being unmasked. Don't go to the low of quoting Dr. So & So, who does not submit his evidence to be peer reviewed because there are "quacks" in every field, including science.
Nonsense, as this originated as a political stunt as such surgical modifications have been going on for decades now. Same with Critical-Race Theory that goes back for over two decades without controversy and is not taught in public secondary education. And math books???
