Do you have a problem with Tennessee's "curbs [for] trans treatment and drag for children"?

[Harpy Eagle]

Your false equivalency fallacy is noted.

Let me know when they start mutilating children for insomnia.

That was lame AF, btw.

You are the one stuck on the notion that something being in the DSM-5 being a big deal.

I have already stated many times I am against anything being done like that to anyone not legally trusted to drink a beer.

The term “transgender” refers to a person whose sex assigned at birth (i.e. the sex assigned at birth, usually based on external genitalia) does not align their gender identity (i.e., one’s psychological sense of their gender). Some people who are transgender will experience “gender dysphoria,” which refers to psychological distress that results from an incongruence between one’s sex assigned at birth and one’s gender identity. Though gender dysphoria often begins in childhood, some people may not experience it until after puberty or much later.

That is an excerpt from the same people who you want to cosplay being in solidarity with. I don't mind at all you using them as a reference because when the very people you turn to smack you down that helps show you to be the moron you are.

You seem to be missing the word 'psychological distress' in your own example when referring to gender dysphoria.

Mental disorder. Say it nice and slow so that you can get it in there nice and solid.

If it's in the DSM it is a mental disorder. Simple fact.

 

[Curried Goats]

I dont think you are sincere

But nevertheless based on what you wrote I gave it a thumbs up

I am sincere. In order to improve care we not only have to discuss the successes but the failures.

You seem to be missing the fact that the very people you are trying to cosplay being in league with don't classify gender dysphoria as a mental disorder.

Only to simple morons.

 

[SmokeALib]

Who's ignoring her? I'm interested in how the law suit plays out because I'm interested in improving care for these teens.

Maybe they're not teens. Maybe they're goats dressed up as teens. That way they can walk into any teens locker room and watch them get dressed and undressed.
I always thought goats were kinda nasty. Especially the curried ones...

 

[Fueri]

Only to simple morons.

And psychiatrists, apparently.

I'm citing the DSM V, not cosplaying anything, whatever that means, and I know many don't classify gender dysphoria as a mental disorder, but it is they who are scientifically incorrect, and clearly so.

 

[Curried Goats]

Not the psychiatrists you're referring to.

 

[Fueri]

lol. Sure. I guess not the ones in your quote either then.

Stick those fingers in your ears harder.

Here's some more from that same except from the same people who release the DSM -5.

It is important to note that gender identity is different from gender expression. Whereas gender identity refers to one’s psychological sense of their gender, gender expression refers to the way in which one presents to the world in a gendered way. For example, in much of the U.S., wearing a dress is considered a “feminine” gender expression, and wearing a tuxedo is considered a “masculine” gender expression. Such expectations are culturally defined and vary across time and culture. One’s gender expression does not necessarily align with their gender identity. Diverse gender expressions, much like diverse gender identities, are not indications of a mental disorder.


Its right there you Short Bus riding fucktard. Can't you READ!

The problem is you do not really know what that means

 

[martybegan]

The law prevents anyone under the age of 18 from receiving gender affirming care including puberty blockers hormones and surgery. Now you and I both know, and you've already conceded that science shows that teens who are suffering from gender dysphoria and receive puberty blockers and hormones show significant mental health improvements compared to their counterparts who were denied that care. This bill will literal cost the lives of trans teens.

Cherry picked data from fraudulent studies.

 

[Jessica-stormlover]

Every study and medical journal in this country supports the need for these kids to get this help. It is pure evil to remove treatment.

Of course, I am talking to people that literally would abolish most surgeries and treatments regardless. Sick religious fucks. Some of them would even let their kids die then admit to it. Child abuse I'd say. Who are you to say that they don't suffer from this and need this treatment?

 

[Fueri]

Yeah, Ok. That's what it is.

They never defined that in my nueropsych class, I guess.

Not all, and only ones that cherry pick suspect data to push an agenda.

The only child abuse is pumping kids full of blockers and hormones and even THINKING about any surgery before they are 18.

I did not concede significant mental health improvements. I conceded a small amount. I don't really know the whole entire law word for word and I doubt you do either. I'm ok with care for 18 or older or maybe 14 and older with parent's permission. But I don't give it carte blanche as in forcing insurance companies to cover it.

Because you're a bitch but the study showed significant improvement.

Pubertal Suppression for Transgender Youth and Risk of Suicidal Ideation

Retreat retreat retreat. Teens who are denied gender affirming care are being put at risk. That's what the science says. You can either be on the side of science or you can be on the side of ignorant morons. Straddling the fence just makes you an assclown.

Do you have a problem with Tennessee's "curbs [for] trans treatment and drag for children"?​

Nope. Let Tennessee govern Tennessee.
The taxpayer does not exist to validate the mental illness of others.

Apparently the taxpayer D0ES exist to validate the fear, paranoia and prejudices of the Republican voter. All of these things qualify as mental illness in my books. Especially when you ignore real pedophilia and child sexual abuse by straight males to vilify people who are N0T a danger to children.

Tennesee: #38 out of 50 states in education. #3 in violent crime; #12 highest rates of poverty in the nation. Their biggest concerns???? Drag Queen story hour.
