@Danoff "But if a child needs something in order to survive - because of an established likelihood of suicide - I don't see how anyone could oppose gender affirmation surgery to save the life of a child. "
Of all the ridiculous things and things I've said included. THis statement of yours still stands out as the most ridiculous of them all. There's probably a reason that is. And common sense is truly not common any more. This Woke nonsense persists. Time to throw out all the old ways in favor of the "new and improved"... it's always worked perfectly....nothing bad has ever come from the new and improved. Everyone's way happier now than 30 years ago (1993) ....all thanks to the new and improved! Don't like it? too bad. We're here to stay!
Example: Girl doesn't like her body, because she was bullied to feel ugly in school? And those thoughts persist so she wants surgery or she'll die? Don't do anything about it (the thoughts), instead just get some doctors or whatever to affirm her, tell her yes, make her pay thousands upon thousands of dollars to remove her genitals or breasts. Yeah that'll do it.
Physical fixes for a mental problem.
Therapy and the entire field of psychology was made to fix the many mental ruts like this. Are teens/young adults not capable of thinking things through? Are their brains not developed enough or some other crap excuse? And why is it that when people are getting a vasectomy, they are repeatedly questioned and told not to go through with it... the resistance is substantial, yet for GAC, there is little to no resistance for these young and foolish people making such big life choices.. yeah that doesn't smell fishy at all. Gateway drugs. Gateway drugs. I tell ya someone's getting paid by the crapton for this ingenious load of crap. Wish I were in the field in all honesty, this might as well be the next goldrush for the lucky coalition that capitalized and lobbied this thing into existence
Just doesn't seem right to me even though there "are not rights or wrongs" one can still have an inclination to dislike something new and see it as alien, forbidden, unethical and wrong. Nothing is "right or wrong" but human feelings are their own language from logic. The two do not have to agree or make sense for a human to be merry on his way, to survive. Every person is a walking contradiction, of split thoughts and split feelings, because well, that's just humanity.
Much like it is easier to consistently be a parasite and bully someone psychologically and get away with it than bully them normally (physical assault/violence) and leave a physical "paper trail"... it is apparently now too difficult to simply give people the appropriate mental tools to fix a
mental problem. There's nothing wrong with her body, two perfectly healthy breasts and healthy genitalia, let's mutilate it anyways, we won't say no, we don't want negative publicity, she paid us to do so, we need your money, we love your money, we love your money, we love your money, we desire your money, we will kill for money, we want nothing more than to empty your pockets and get you in debt, this is the way. She's just a number on the list, plenty more where that came from, we love the money, we'll gladly "help" her. Hell let's convert the entire 8 billion for fun. Trans for all. Money, money, money. Everyone's happier when they've transitioned. Everyone needs to transition. Because Money.
This is the new and improved circumcision. Except Religion hasn't convinced you to go through with it, you've convinced yourself. Well that's just my view then, and that's not going to change now is it?
