Aside from the falsehood there is the immaturity of all this. Any limitation of any kind is oppression. If you deny my right to identify as something I am not and never can be, it’s no different from mass murder.

If you don’t use my magic pronouns when I am not there to hear them, I’ll get you fired.

We need to push back on all this, and push back hard.

"Aside from the falsehood there is the immaturity of all this. Any limitation of any kind is oppression. "

This part doesn't get spoken about enough. Pure childish narcissism.

Thank You, Sir Chris.

I still believe lawsuits are the best response. Where feasible.

A few successful lawsuits and insurance will stop funding the clinics. Not many kids will get sliced at those prices.

The UK is very far in advance of us here on this side-a the pond. In this regard, among other things.

I wonder how DSM 5 even hppened without insurance companies making some phone calls and stopping it. Under DSM 4 the "trans" cult would have nothing. No hormones or surgery before 18, a year living as the opposite set before any cutting.

It would still be called a disorder.

IIRC, they said they didn't wanna call it a disorder so it would be treated medically. I guess to avoid any stigma. Personally, I donno about the DSMs.

We're talking about a psychiatric condition in which people feel uncomfortable in their healthy bodies, and if the "trans" are to be believed, uncomfortable enough to kill themslves.

But we mustn't call it a "disorder."

That would be ℎ𝑢𝑟𝑡𝑓𝑢𝑙.

Christ, I despise these people.

I have to admit, they challenge my universal humanist tendencies. I do get the sense that some of these types are "workin' it" if you know what I mean.

For me it began with "they." I really hate the use of "they" as a singular, going back more thn 50 years. I noticed the sudden increase in its use and then I started hearing that nonsense about "inclusion."

All I knew about gender-bendery was my coming out in a city loaded with transvestites, who are the most useless people on the planet,and a few figures from Silence of the Lambs. Then I did some reading and realized that this new "trans" thing was fake, that there were a thousand times as many making the claim as medical ststistics predicted. That's when I started getting pissed off.

A few YouTube videos of spoiled brats whining about "misgendering" and "deadnames" and reading about people getting fired for using the "wrong" pronouns, then I realized I was seeing 𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 cult, MAGA in a mirror, built atop a foundation of lies. Science is out the window, truth is as insignicant as it is for the Trump crowd.

The scariest part of all this is the Democrats' buy-in. If I had kids who were on social media I'd be really scared that they would walk in one even and announce they're "trans." AT which point their phones would become splinters and they would never leave the house except for school until 18. But in a lot of states CPS would side with them.

So lifelong Democrats are going to vote GOP to protect their kids from the surgeons.

Tavistock, formerly the UK's most prominent gender reassignment clinic, is getting sued by over a thousand people & families. The NHS has shut them down.

TY. Yeah, Sweden Finland and France have also cut most-a it out. It's funny how people in the U.S. sometimes don't know this is an *experimental* procedure. And there hasn't been much good quality research in the area. Or *good* quality research. Figures.

We drag our ass on everything. Would taken us longer to abolish slavery if Europe hadn't bugged us about it.
