Yes. Seems like the leftists here just happen to be attracted to other targets than I am. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
Simply existing in drag or trans in front of children is not grooming or problematic. The people at the pride parade are guilty of doing the same thing cheerleaders, ballerinas, dancers, gymnasts, etc. have done for ages without a problem.
Existing sure, no issue with that. Pole dancing and spreading legs in a sexual kind of way, no thanks.
I saw some figures about trans related mastectomies and genital surgery in the US (18 and under) and the number of procedures was pretty low. Something like fewer than a couple hundred per year. Not sure if I believe the data. I'm curious if anyone knows of any sources of info about how prevalent the drug and surgery prescription for minors actually is.
Is this your source? Data seems pretty comprehensive. https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-transyouth-data/ The ultimate step in gender-affirming medical treatment is surgery, which is uncommon in patients under age 18. Some children’s hospitals and gender clinics don’t offer surgery to minors, requiring that they be adults before deciding on procedures that are irreversible and carry a heightened risk of complications. The Komodo analysis of insurance claims found 56 genital surgeries among patients ages 13 to 17 with a prior gender dysphoria diagnosis from 2019 to 2021. Among teens, “top surgery” to remove breasts is more common. In the three years ending in 2021, at least 776 mastectomies were performed in the United States on patients ages 13 to 17 with a gender dysphoria diagnosis, according to Komodo’s data analysis of insurance claims. This tally does not include procedures that were paid for out of pocket. A note on the data Komodo’s analysis draws on full or partial health insurance claims for about 330 million U.S. patients over the five years from 2017 to 2021, including patients covered by private health plans and public insurance like Medicaid. The data include roughly 40 million patients annually, ages 6 through 17, and comprise health insurance claims that document diagnoses and procedures administered by U.S. clinicians and facilities.
Now it will get funny. Leftists' heads will explode because they will be confused about whom to place higher on their virtue-signaling hierarchy of victimhood. Will they attack Muslims as "bigots", like they regularly do with Christians who express concern with LGBTQISVBGHXHGECRG+++ activism? Or will they be "culturally sensitive" towards the Muslims? Leftists are such hypocrites.
Pretty f***ing simple. Head isn't exploding at all. Don't really care who is hating. Hate is hate. I'd think if anyone's head is exploding, it's yours. Your well documented hatred for Muslims now mixes with your well documented hatred for LGBTQ+ people. How do you cope? I've had many good "conversations" with you in regards to European football but I'm having a hard time separating that lately from the absolutely hateful person that you appear to be. I love talking soccer and there aren't many people on this board that can do it intelligently. Just a shame you have this passion for hate against this community.
Why do you think that disagreeing with certain ideologies and activism is "hate"? I will always defend the right of adults to live their lives the way they please. But that doesn't mean I need to agree with their ideology or with everything they do.
The amount of energy you put into posting a huge quantity of antogonistic tweets which you admitted you haven't researched, vetted or verified, comes across as hate-filled. Just an outsider's perspective.
What? You threw in the world "neutral" likely, because you didn't have a strong retort. It wasn't a claim that I made, and your post doesn't address the quantity and lack of research into the tweets you post.
I stand by what I said. The unfounded claims of "hating Muslims" or "hating transgender people" "because you post about it" are evil lies. Disagreeing with Islamist intolerant ideology and disagreeing with woke ideology in all its forms does not equate to hating any people, at all. See the Chappelle quote. You, @FranchiseBlade, are probably reasonable enough to understand the distinction.
Why do crazed leftists have such a weird obsession with kids' sexuality? I don't understand what they get out of this, and what makes them so fanatical about it that they would physically attack parents who disagree with their children being forced to be exposed to their ideology?
My limited understanding of the protest is against the "no notice, no opt-out" policy here. I think there should be an opt-out, especially based on one's religious belief. EDIT: here is the approved LGBTQ inclusive text materials (I urge folks to review them) that some Muslim and Christians want to have an opt-out. Conservative interpretations of Islam consider LGBT individuals as sinful or prohibited based on specific scriptural references. Progressive Muslims argue for a more inclusive and compassionate understanding of Islam that acknowledges the rights and dignity of LGBT individuals. They advocate for interpreting the Quran and Hadith in a manner that embraces the principles of justice, love, and acceptance for all individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Many countries have anti-LGBT laws based on Islamic law. These include Iran, where same-sex activities can be punishable by death. In Saudi Arabia, same-sex activities are illegal, and individuals can face imprisonment and corporal punishment. Similarly, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and other countries also have laws against LGBT individuals. The GOP's attitude against transgender individuals rights are almost as extreme as that of many Islamic countries. Much of it is also based on a very conservative interpretation of Christianity.
