Doing the opposite of Trump has consequences

I can tell you. Unequivocally l, th

marv you have not responded to my question. Why the spike during woke? A massive spike. I can tell you unequivocally that LGBTQ is lauded at some woke schools. My 13 yr old goes to one. That it’s embraced and celebrated. So what impact does that have on impressionable kids at an impressionable station in life? And what role did that play in the spike
Woke hasn't spiked. Misuse of the word by conservative propaganda has spiked.
 
Just to be clear, if the law in question were to pass, it would ban not only medical treatment, but also gender-affirming counseling and mental care?
The people wanting abortions can carpool to another state with people that want gender affirming care
 
And Ohio would have made that illegal and you have yet to say that is government overreach by the Dream Team cult.
It’s complicated. My daughter has a friend that hasn’t come out as identifying as a boy but dresses like a boy has a boy’s haircut and my daughter says she’s thinking about switching. She has two moms. One is the main nurse at the school. I’m a good judge of people and kids. I carpool her etc. of all of my daughter’s crowd this kid is the smartest. But at 23 she’s still so so young. They’re still babies even tho they’re technically adolescents. They cry when things go wrong. Struggle to manage emotions. On and on and on. Have you spent time with adolescents? I know you’re old and I don’t say it to challenge you but perhaps you forget how young they are still
 
I think I’m okay with blockers but would need to think more about it. See my response above as to why
It isn't just blockers, you tout Washington but that is gender affirming. That would be illegal in Ohio when that override happens. Other states may well ban it already. So wouldn't shutting that down be wrong?

I want a public school all feel welcome and allowed to be who they are. If they are a rabid conservative, fine. If they are gay, fine. Straight, fine. Black, fine. White, fine.

Sometimes we misconstrue celebrating gay as being accepting. Gays should not have to hide who they are any more than you or I.

As to your question, look at Matt's post. I have known 2 people who came out as gay as adults after being married. Back in the day we beat the crap out of gay kids, gays played the game and lived the lie. Is that what we want?

Being comfortable being gay and dressing how you want us a far cry from medical intervention with children

I have seen multiple sites say exactly that

Gender affirming care and puberty blockers is also a far cry from permanent surgery as well but don't let that get in the way of a good rant
 
Sounds like the suicide rate is similar with or without op...just flawed mentally due to whatever.


I know one "trans kid" personally. Daughter and her were playmates at Gymboree, and even played soccer together at 4 in Dallas. She now calls herself a he/him and dresses like one of those emo kids in black with blue hair and the cat-lady glasses. No surgery yet, not sure about hormones.

Kid's dad (Purdue guy) came out as gay when she was about 6. Parents got divorced. Dad now bangs dudes. Mom's been married 2 times since then...so the girl's had like 3 different "families" as her mom runs through her dudes...and she's 13.

So...yeah...in this case, probably more of an emotional reaction caused by a fuxked up childhood.

But then again, I'm not an "expert"...not a "pediatrician" that makes money cutting off teenagers racks. I'm just spit-balling.
Thank you for playing the game and providing data. See, if there is much more data like this (one study is always iffy), then it seems there is not a need for that type of care.

Yes the woke cult. You keep changing the subject. Explain the spike. How many times do you need to be asked?
I explained the spike, you are too angry to read. We stopped beating the crap out of gays so more identify as gay. I said I knew a couple people who married women then came out as adults in their 30s. Matt had a similar tale. You start adding that back in and the spike is far lower. I don't see good numbers for adults coming out the first time.

More adults identify as gay today than ever. Everyone laughed at the Kinsey 10% value. Maybe he was right. Right now 7.1% of adults say they are gay. These aren't 15 year olds wanting to look cool, adults. Maybe the number was always 10% and people lied about who they were not to be beaten, fired, etc.

What? So that’s how you explain more than 50 percent rise in KIDS? I’m not talking about adults. And Marv I’m not angry in the least. I’m doing multiple things and have a minion on fire

Yes it does, we undercounted before because people were terrified of finding out they were gay. If 1/2 the gays were scared to admit to being gay and are not now, where is the rise?

Do you think there was a time that is not something many would admit to?

What I think is that a significant portion of this 50-60 percent rise have cultist parents foisting it upon them. I think it’s the current milieu in woke culture. I think the rise is orchestrated not organic

But your answer does not address the rise in adults and mine does. We have always undercounted. Kinsey knew more than many gave him credit for.

BTW, numbers are up around the world and the numbers match Kinsey's 10%


And if there is nothing wrong with being gay, what difference does it make that numbers are up? I don't care if someone is gay or straight any more than I care if they are left-handed or right. Once we stopped persecuting left-handers I suspect the number of left-handers went up

I don’t see what connection you’re trying to make. I don’t care about adults. What’s more a rise in adults may correlate to exactly what I hypothesized re a rise in imputing care prematurely to kids. Kids rose nearly 60 percent in the two years of woke hysteria

How am I not explaining this well enough. It became socially acceptable to tell someone one is gay, so numbers went up. In the old days many gays waited until they could no longer lead the lie to come out. There is far less pressure to lie so more kids AND more adults come out and overall numbers go up. If we go back to firing people for being gay, adult numbers will go down.

I don’t know that answer. I do know that in some jurisdictions, a provider can be subject to suspension for counseling against transitioning.
 
In the midst of Trump’s aggressive immigration enforcement and deportations, Denver was among the first to respond to Trump by enacting sanctuary city laws and presenting itself as a welcoming city.

In the first days of his term, Biden did a 180 on Trump’s immigration policy by ending remain in Mexico, ending the wall, ending the agreements with the Northern Triangle countries, and restarting catch and release. He also stopped enforcing the public charge rules about immigration. This is after promising during the campaign to provide health care and other benefits to illegal immigrants.

We now have millions of poorly educated, unskilled and dependent immigrants. The Democrat mantra during the Trump era that immigration is a net benefit to the United States seems like a bad joke.

Well, how does the Biden/Democrat immigration policy look now? In Denver it’s a disaster. Other cities are similar.

The Denver Budget is a wreck. It’s getting worse. Democrat officials are pleading for federal help, meaning federal money. Not federal efforts to stop the flow or send them back. (That request would be illegal under the sanctuary ordinances.). Leading Democrats have even commented that being a welcoming city has consequences.

This whole thing is a disaster at every level of government. A massive failure of policy. A failed policy based on TDS. The damage looks to be irreparable. Trump is no angel. But he had immigration right.

The sad story is in the link. Read the whole thing.

We need to cut off the freebies because WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY!

And I believe feeling safe played A part but I also believe that the current celebratory environment and purple haired crazies push some kids and absent extreme circumstances I would limit care to counseling and education until they’re adults and I would outright ban surgeries. Cognizant of Matt’s stats above
 
Which cult is that, I hear Republicans bring this up far more than Democrats

I don't get changing children's sex as well. I really don't. But if the parents say that is what the child needs and multiple trained professionals say that is what the child needs, it seems pretty arrogant to say I, as one who never met the child, knows better.
There is no such thing as crazy parents? There aren't women out there who had a son but really wanted a daughter and now feels their desires are warranted and ethical? You can talk kids into things as an adult. It's why pedophiles are sick.

So because you may be able to find some sick parents, it is ok then to punish all legitimate trans kids?

Your what if also requires a failure in a Dr performing said procedure. Let's not forget that in the debate. Your fear setting requires multiple points of failure

I don't believe there are legitimate trans kids. If an adult wants to make that decision then that is one thing, but not kids. Some Doctors will perform all kinds of procedures which are not good for people. Look at these women who look horrendous after they get too much plastic surgery. Did any of those doctors say, "It is my advice that you should not get this done"? No, they take the money.

Sermon is already done. I just missed a great opportunity. You know from a pastoral perspective my heart aches for people who don't accept themselves. The suicide rate for trans people is that 40% attempt it. This is whether they get surgery or not. So the real issue is far deeper. These people were created by God to be male or female at birth. They weren't assigned their gender/sex. They were created in the womb to be one or the other. The fact they can't accept themselves is very tragic. But chopping off body parts and taking drugs that changes their bodies and also their moods is not the answer.

Neither are legitimate in that they are doing the right thing. But at least the adults can be held responsible for their choices. I don't see how a 12 yr old can be. And who is going to pick up the pieces when these kids who are allowed to make life changing decisions regret it? How do you come back from chopping off body parts or taking hormones that forever changes things for your reproductive health. And don't tell me that if they get off the hormones they will go completely back to normal. That is a bunch of bunk because they have not done long term studies where it happens.
