So you simply think transgender identity is a mental illness, would that be fair?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.
How in the world is your Youtube channel not linked in your signature?I have a couple of sermons on my youtube channel.
Proof or just your pretend world?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.
1. Child protection laws don’t apply to adults.How is it possible for there to be legitimate trans adults, but no legitimate trans kids?
Some so interpret conversion therapy laws. Don’t know which ones off hand.What jurisdictions?
Okay, so is it fair to say that you think it is wrong to limit these therapists in this way? If so, why?Some so interpret conversion therapy laws. Don’t know which ones off hand.
Here are 2 takes on Washington's law. Yes, I fully admit I find calling a trans child an abomination not the job of a counselor. Van as a pastor can.Some so interpret conversion therapy laws. Don’t know which ones off hand.
Claiming to be a different sex is more likely than not a self-perception issue. Anorexia is a better analogy than being homosexual. The DSM V has a diagnostic guide for gender dysphoria. Excessive self-centeredness is a proper subject for therapy.Okay, so is it fair to say that you think it is wrong to limit these therapists in this way? If so, why?

Would you like me to spoon-feed the answer?I noticed you didn't answer the question(s).
Don't be a dick. Are you willing to answer the question or not? The question was about what you personally believe. Being straight about that isn't spoon-feeding, it's just being honest.Would you like me to spoon-feed the answer?
#129 is the best I can do.Don't be a dick. Are you willing to answer the question or not? The question was about what you personally believe. Being straight about that isn't spoon-feeding, it's just being honest.
Can someone point me back to the thread about immigration?
Can someone point me back to the thread about immigration?
****kkkkkkk yes. I’ll take an entire country of guats if it means warmer weatherHere is a return to immigration, why not a northern wall? We just had a massive influx of very unwanted Arctic air. A 16,000 foot wall from Minnesota to the Pacific should really put a dent on illegal Canadian air
Common sense is neither. Its a phrase used by the ignorant to describe accidental or intuitive deductive reasoning or logic. It's never been common nor is it a sense.At one time trained professionals swore to the efficacy of lobotomies and bloodletting.
At some point, you have to use common sense, Marv.
you didn’t need to tell us you lack common sense. We knowCommon sense is neither. Its a phrase used by the ignorant to describe accidental or intuitive deductive reasoning or logic. It's never been common nor is it a sense.
Disappointing.
First point is true. Your second is certainly questionable given the posts written on this board.1. Child protection laws don’t apply to adults.
2. Adults have fully developed brains .
I love the academy of pediatrics position. In short we support developmentally appropriate care including surgeries and encourage insurance companies participation1. Child protection laws don’t apply to adults.

So the cost of reassignment can run north of 100k approaching 150k. But we are going to repose our trust “in the doctors.” Shit 4-5 surgeries a year and they are off and running meeting their “nut”
So many of our liberals live in fantasy land. Doctors are motivated by money like many others. They aren’t running a charity. Their practices are expensive as hell to maintain. They spend a fortune to get through college and med school and make peanuts as residents. What’s more MBAs have taken over care. We talk about healthcare reform but do you think the cost of service isn’t exorbitant for a reason? Don’t be naive. Healthcare is a business and in part why we will never have it nationalized. Doctors aren’t taking pay cuts. Why do you think so many don’t take Medicaid? Wake upSo many of our conservatives are absolutely certain everyone will rip off anyone for money. It makes me wonder what their morality is, are they just thinking, "that's what I would do."

The quality of doctors imo would fall. It’s a business like anything else. They go through hell. A significant portion won’t bother if there’s no financial reward.So let's just nationalize healthcare and get those evil scoundrels corraled? If they are ripping us off so much, doctors must take Medicaid rates for everyone.
And for the record I was a Dem. I prefer Clinton/Obama to Reagan/bush. I was totally fine with Biden winning. The far left progressive bs has turned many of us offSo many of our conservatives are absolutely certain everyone will rip off anyone for money. It makes me wonder what their morality is, are they just thinking, "that's what I would do."
How so?Disappointing.
Disappointing because you can't simply answer a question. Two questions, really, but one of them was yes/no.How so?
I said GD is analogous to anorexia which is psychological self image problem.
I said there is a DSM diagnostic criteria for GD
I said excessive self -centeredness is appropriate for therapy . . .
And you still wonder if I think MH therapy is appropriate for GD?
I can’t help you.

I don’t get your Medicaid comment. Practices aren’t required to take Medicaid. It’s part of the exchange that’s bullshit
They don’t want Medicaid bc Medicaid has shit reimbursement rates. So eliminate that you reduce the appeal and maybe the best and the brightest become engineers instead.Aren't there laws on performing unnecessary procedures? Why don't we tighten that up? Certainly you aren't in favor of other unnecessary surgeries. Let's boot them out of Medicine.
The Medicaid comment was to require doctors to accept the Medicaid (or even Medicare) rate for procedures. That would eliminate a lot of the money incentive.

The best and brightest already aren't going into medicine. I've known a lot of the overachievers, perfect GPA, perfect SAT, and Wall Street is where they want to be. We WAY overpay business majors. Inventing a new derivative may not have near the value of the next gen battery to humanity but it pays a heck of a lot more. So medicine is already down the pecking list. The good news, AI will soon diagnose. Heck, AThey don’t want Medicaid bc Medicaid has shit reimbursement rates.

Unnecessary is too amorphous. Hysterectomies, back surgeries - the list of surgeries that are subjective and judgment calls is too long. You want a standard that isn’t practicable
The majors thing and over paying predicated on same is difficult to say. Joe Biden’s America is a new order where the avg home is 500 k and a car 50. What do I tell my kids. By all means son study history for your enrichment and edification. I know you’re passionate about helping people my dear definitely pick up an msw.The best and brightest already aren't going into medicine.

On this particular surgery, I mentioned several times it should require multiple doctors approval. Heck, we are already at the point that AI could be asked to weigh in. It won't make more money.
Code for white male overachievers?The best and brightest already aren't going into medicine.
I think somebody should do a study on wealth and child gender dysphoria. I’m willing to bet a six pack that there is more gender dysphoria among children of high achieving high income parents.So many of our conservatives are absolutely certain everyone will rip off anyone for money. It makes me wonder what their morality is, are they just thinking, "that's what I would do."

Females and POC’s in medicine have gone up as compensation has come down.
Sombody in the care business believes and told me diversity has depressed income. There is a point there.
