Transgender issues and discussions

Could not finish watching that video. They both drive me crazy. Dumb question and even dumber answer.

Why do people fall for these dumb setups?

Ummm.. I think he made his point pretty easy. Not a setup.

She was complete entrenched in ideology to the point she refused to say a simple yes or "Biological-Males cannot get pregnant." In her own mind, she can think whatever she needs to meet her own ideology. I mean, a person can identify as a woman but be a biological male and therefore, not get pregnant. It is Dr.'s like this that induce fear in parents that these Dr.'s will influence their children.

All she would have had to say was "biological males cannot get pregnant".

Yep. Easy answer to a dumb question. She blew it because she was worried about follow up questions to this. Just bite the bullet and give the obvious answer.

Coupling “Transgender” (T) with LGB and charging the hill of dedicated women’s spaces (sports, prisons, gyms, healthcare, etc.) has got to be one of the biggest strategic mistakes that gay rights proponents have ever made. It’s done way more damage to their cause than anything that conservative/religious opponents could have ever dreamed of doing.

A lot of LGB folks would completely agree and argue that they didn’t ask to be lumped together.

Dave Chappelle's car ride analogy on this is hillarious. Crass, but hillarious.

Dave Chappelle’s bit on the LGBT all driving in the same car hits your statement here perfectly:

Plus, it’s funny as hell.

Yeah, telling a minor "if you don't get this surgery you may commit suicide" is pretty insane. And not backed by any credible evidence.

$2 million isn't enough.

$2 million isn't enough.

No it isn’t and both Dr.’s should lose their license to address their actions.

We are at a tipping point in public perception. Will be interesting see people start to backpedal.

Common sense is beginning to take hold again.

It happens slowly and then all at once. Clearly the right decisions by the medical community. Both morally and legally.

It'll be interesting to see where the culture was goes from here now. Elected Democrats can move away from the more controversial aspects of this and the issue is politically powerless. The GOP can acknowledge the victory and move on as well. The party that continues to make the issue salient will be hurt politically. I have a feeling the most vocal on either side will continue to push it though.

I don't think that we should be doing permanent surgical interventions on children that are transgender, but I'm going to eyeroll and question the presentation by someone when they have to say it like "surgically butchering children."
