But in reality...let us live our lives and you can live yours is what many Conservatives have no issues with.

So please any LGBTQ+...he/she/it/they/me/you/alien/groundhog/sheep/whatever please live your life and stop forcing your life into mine and my families at every opportunity.
Them, their and we are used in almost every conservation. If I used singular pronouns than I would be directing my post to a single person. And I meant to say ours, not yours. What pronouns should I have used instead.

You never answered the question, do you just want all the clinics closed or do you want surgeries stopped.

How can you not see that this is mental illness? Just bc the woke APA has removed it from the DSM doesn’t mean squat. To think you are something that you’re not and feel it so intensely that you pay someone to mutilate you? It’s horrific. And ingesting all sorts of drugs to switch your hormones around. It’s so sick. Call it what you want but people know the truth and that’s why these people kill themselves both before and after surgery.

They already do. I saw a job posting for an accounting internship at PwC and it said you’re eligible if you self-identify as black or Hispanic. Then the typical EOE disclaimer was at the bottom. Seriously cannot make this stuff up.

https://jobs.us.pwc.com/job/phoenix/...32/34129842720

“ Additional Educational Requirements:

To be eligible for While You Work, applicants must self-identify as Black or African-American or Hispanic or Latinx, which are traditionally underrepresented racial and ethnic minority groups within the professional services industry.”


“ All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment at PwC without regard to race; creed; color; religion; national origin; sex; age; disability; sexual orientation; gender identity or expression; genetic predisposition or carrier status; veteran, marital, or citizenship status; or any other status protected by law. PwC is proud to be an affirmative action and equal opportunity employer.”

Or will people began to use logic & reason and realize that this entire trans/gender nonsense is simply LGBT indoctrination, and only became an issue after they began indoctrinating public school children with it.

Keep in mind that the last two generations are being shaped by events. They are, as all of us, a product of their environment.
Will it end? I venture a guess that it will not but may diminish years later when society see the results. History shows that cultural changes go like the pendulum, back and forth. Each side of the spectrum on any societal issue will go back and forth. Example, I share what I have seen in my generation. When I was much younger, people argued so much about being nice to criminals. OK, laws got more strict and harsher. What happened? People pushed too hard on punishing criminals. What happened next? The newer generation kept pushing back to ease up on criminals. What is happening now? Look at the crime rates rising in cities where people push for more lenient laws. Eventually, people will get tired and go back to more strict laws to curve the consequences of being lenient too much.
The same with gender issues and many others. It will take time for people to see the results. Unfortunately, the results will be seen after who know how many people, parents and their children, regret getting swayed by the latest sexual trend.
In some ways, there is nothing we can do about it. It is a cycle that must happen order for people to demand a change. Eventually, more and more voices will scream for change and, here we go again, push the pendulum to the other side. Eventually, that pendulum will go too far, and again, come back.
You have a great day.

You never answered the questions, do you want to ban the surgeries and clinics that assist these parents and children.

Go back and read my post from JAMA and NIH #89 quoting research from universities and medical institutions, but we need to lock this down because?
I did answer your question. Many posts ago.

Why are you in favor of medical experimentation on children? Why are you REFUSING to answer that question?

Explain why a physically healthy child needs to a have healthy breasts/uterus or healthy penis removed. How is that medically necessary?

Were children subjected to mass medical experimentation?

Nope.

Leave the kids alone.

It’s exploded recently while it was very rare previously.

Did you know any kids in your high school or even elementary classroom who identified as trans or non binary? How often did you see men dressed as women in public? Have you ever encountered a man in the women’s restroom? Do you remover hospitals devoted to children advertising gender reassignment surgery being a thing up u til very recently? Do you recall when women started being referred to as birthing people and chestfeeders?

No amount of drugs, hormones and surgery can transform a big strong man into a lovely graceful woman. Or a petite woman into a big rugged man. It cannot be done, it is just stupid to try. Transgenders almost always look like cheap imitations.
Agree with you both.

Some of it is mental illness. Some of it is due to being on the spectrum. Some of it is due to social conditioning and expectations.

This is way more common for kids on the autism spectrum. Some of it is due to ingrained sexism and homophobia. Som kids who might just be gay have a hard time accepting that and instead think they must be the opposite sex. Sometimes girls want to be boys because we live in a sexist society and they see how boys are perceived and treated differently. Some kids don’t fit in or are lonely isolated and depressed and get sucked into social media surrounding gender identity and see this as something they think will solve their problems and uncomfortable feelings and make them feel included.

There is some good info and insight on this site including research from people who detranstioned. https://www.transgendertrend.com/detransition/
