The surprising thing here isn't that Goo appears to believe that women are unhappy because they dark to think they can choose to have a career instead of pumping out babies and being submissive to a potential husband.
Hilarious that you think that college is a place for a person getting paid to teach is a place to promote their political views. I always told her that, for the most part, you shouldn't be able to tell a professors political affiliation if s/he is a good professor.
Women are unhappy. Google that phrase and you will get hundreds of articles explaining why. Get off the first page and you start getting past Google's filters on why they think that should be.
Suicide rates of transgenders is astronomical. Probably because they are mentally ill.
Lulu pants are gay. But Fabletics pants are a better deal so they are fine. It really comes down to cost.
Lose an argument, change the definition. Again, there is no truth, no facts, nothing. Recession isn't quite what it used to be either. Illegal alien, nope. Feelings are the new "facts". Again, it's all so weak and sad.
People like to say transgenders are people whose minds are different from their bodies. So the therapy is to change their bodies with knives and chemicals. Think about that.
Do you really not see the possibility that a society that implicitly and explicitly tells people that they're freaks and defective could have a negative effect on mental health and make a marginalized community more prone to suicide?
Mike Lindell's Cargo pants are the shit ! They just make you feel special. And made in Merika.
I don't care about your guess. Your guess represents your feelings on the subject, imo. Facts don't care about your feelings. The fact is transgenders rate of attempted suicide is astronomical. There is not another group of people that have a higher rate of attempted suicide.
Isn’t a society that accepts altering physically healthy human beings with knives, drugs, and chemicals saying those people are freaks and defective?
The irony of your second paragraph is palpable. Talk about feelings.

I don't think it does any more than a society that accepts balding men with hair transplants. It doesn't mean they're defective, it's a cosmetic procedure to make them feel more comfortable with their bodies.
Seems much more likely the trans people were unhappy, so they made a change. When they realized they were still unhappy after the change...The irony of your second paragraph is palpable. Talk about feelings.
If only there were research on the issue?
For trans people, family rejection tied to suicide attempts, substance abuse
For transgender or gender non-conforming individuals, as rejection from family members increases, so does their likelihood of suicide attempts or substance abuse, according to a new study.

Intervenable factors associated with suicide risk in transgender persons: a respondent driven sampling study in Ontario, Canada - BMC Public Health
Background Across Europe, Canada, and the United States, 22–43 % of transgender (trans) people report a history of suicide attempts. We aimed to identify intervenable factors (related to social inclusion, transphobia, or sex/gender transition) associated with reduced risk of past-year suicide...
I wasn't specially saying that you were or did that but it from things you've said it sounded like you'd be okay with doing it. Besides that you don't have to weave it in.... just make off-handed remarks. I could easily make a remark about Biden or Trump in an off-handed way to make a political point. By the way, neither one would get a positive remark.
My wife deals with suicidal kids. The number one reason she hears for considering suicide is parental rejection. That's before any treatment or procedure.
It's an interesting comparison. I think, though, that most bald men would say they don't care about being comfortable with their bodies as much as comfortable with how they believe people perceive them. Everyone wants to be both loved and loveable.

I might be changing my opinion on them competing in sports if we get more videos like this.
Are the few all here? There are several people in this thread who object to providing love and acceptance.
It's interesting that your first instinct is that the source of any unhappiness women may have is having choices.
1) Minors, those under 18, can already legally have sex in just about every state in the Union.
No, I think the source of unhappiness is the choices they make, not the choices they have.
Maybe I’m reading them wrong, but I’m assuming everyone here believes trans kids should be loved and disagree about what should and shouldn’t be accepted (the person vs. the thoughts/behavior/“illness”) and what that would look like.
Tell me what you know about the choices they make.
Not sure how to square that with what you originally wrote, but appreciate the sentiment. It seems to me the "acceptance" you're suggesting here would make the term pretty meaningless.
I'm not vexed. It isn't my problem for the most part, I am happily married and don't have to deal with the mess out there for the most part. That being said, 50% of white liberal women in this country report suffering from some form of mental illness. They aren't more happy since feminism kicked in back in the late 60's and earlier 70's. That doesn't seem healthy for society does it? And as you have noted, they have far more options than their mothers and grandmothers did. So why the lack of fulfillment? Why do you think they are unhappy?
Maybe a better example be like if you hypothetically had a penile implant surgery? You were suffering through some real interpersonal issues dealing with feelings of self worth after so many years of being made fun of and laughed at in locker rooms and bed rooms and made it hard to take with such a fragile ego. So you made the leap and gained some confidence, good for you! Does that mean your original was defective? Nah, it was a good size and it's the motion of the ocean not the size of the ship that matters. But it made you feel better about yourself and you're not rejecting God by going through with such a life-altering procedure.
I’m trying to see where both sides are coming from. Maybe I’m not capturing it correctly.
