In this case it was a student calling her by the wrong name, which is something that would be corrected in every other situation.

yea but the "correction" was a punishment. and the girl simply made a mistake. it wasn't fair

So it safe to assume you agree children should not be forced to attend religious services to prevent indoctrination into religion?

certain types of parents are overjoyed when their kid is trans. they celebrate it and show the world how progressive parents they are. I bet there are some parents out there that wish their kids were trans and are bitter they aren't

K, good for staying on message. Too many hypocrites support one and oppose the other. While I disagree with you on some points, I can respect that

lolwut

he posted that same thing 5 times in another topic, and ignored me every time i called bullshit. until the last time, when I used his own defense of said bullshit to rip the claim to shreds. and yet, I'm not even slightly surprised he's posting it again, and will continue to post it for as long as the mods allow him to.

Your 'ripping the claim to shreds' was literally 'no it's not!!!!’ over and over again.

Gender dysphoria doesn't present until puberty, and almost every case self-corrects.

Now, if being transgender requires gender dysphoria, and gender dysphoria doesn't present until puberty, how do kids become transgender?

They can't.


at first. then I kept asking you to support your claim. your response was "science". then, someone else tried to support your claim for you, and you agreed with it. a study stating a large percentage of kids stop showing signs of being trans as they age (which I still find flawed, for the record). but, again, your claim is absolute. no trans kids, full goddamn stop. but if there are no trans kids, then the desistance rate should be 100%. so, yet again: BULLSHIT.

1) being trans doesn't require dysphoria. it's super common, but not 100%
2) yes, it can absolutely manifest before puberty.
3) there are literally trans kids out there. there are literally trans people out there who knew as kids. there are literally trans people here who knew as kids (hi, by the way. not at all nice to meet you)

You have sourced exactly none of this. Ever.

My level of intelligence is greater than the typical teachers. My morals are superior to administrations who would support this. If I didn't have to be at work so often, they would already be educated at home. If you think that recognizing someone to be a gender that they aren't is acceptable, I'm afraid the joke is on you. My kids pray for their friends and invite them to church. I think they will be just fine. Thanks for your concern though.

The world outside of the internet is full of heterosexual people, confident of their birth gender, who enjoy performing activities like playing football, basketball, and baseball while making jokes about people like you. Sadly, this seems to come as a shocker to many of you.

I'm heterosexual. I'm fine with my penis, testicles and scrotum. I haven't played baseball in years, but I did enjoy it. Basketball? I don't like playing defense, but I enjoy shooting. Football? Never played. I enjoy watching all of them as well as hockey, if that is relevant. What about me are such people making jokes about? Many of whom would be shocked? Please provide more context.

Edit: sorry, forgot to include that said penis, testicles and scrotum are all stuff I was born with.

I didn't call them terrible. I called them fucking ridiculous, because they pray and invite people to church. That is asinine.

You are incorrect on my position, so as wonderful as reasoning may be, you are at best mediocre at it.

It depends on how the girl reacted to the update on her friend. If she reacted in such a way to convey she wasn't aware and showed willingness to move forward using the new name the kid wanted to be called, the school is absolutely in the wrong. If she didn't really understand what was happening, a friendly and non-punitive conversation should have taken place with her and her parents and anyone else involved. If she had reacted negatively or in any bully-esque way, then and only then would the school have been in the right.

It sounds like they blew things way the fuck out of proportion. I just don't care that much. I have absolutely no plans whatsoever to ever be in a position where "things that happen in schools" have any relevance to me whatsoever. If I did, I'd have a strong opinion as opposed to a casual one.

1) your claim is that no trans kids exist. that it is actually impossible for kids to be trans.
2) you refuse to support that claim, but accept this study, posted by another user, as support: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2697020/
3) that study includes the clinical diagnostic used to determine when kids are trans. if kids cannot be trans, such a diagnostic tool shouldn't exist.
4) the study claims that 80-97.5% of kids who seem to be trans stop seeming so later. (I find the methodology used to reach these numbers seriously flawed, but let's assume it's the right number.) 97.5% isn't 100%. what the hell are the rest of those kids?

so, for what I hope (but don't expect) to be the last time: BULLSHIT.

ITP - 'seeming so' = 'is, irrefutably so.'

Again, bullshit.

Again, 'less than 1 percent of kids' present with some sort of gender confusion. On top of that, a minimum of 80 percent of those grow out of it by adulthood. Your solution is to FEED this delusional behavior?

I have no problem with children going to church if they choose. I DO have a problem with the idea that society will label me as the bad guy for not following along with that child's delusion.

At what point do I have to be more than simply polite in entertaining your interpretation of yourself? I'm fine with people doing what makes them happy, but I'm not about to feel guilty for calling a person as I see them by their outward appearance. At least in the first couple of interactions. I honestly can't be bothered with such trivial issues.

Yeah, I agree. If someone politely corrects me, that's fine and I will respect it. If someone gets all fucking bent out of shape and is all "how dare u call me that how dare you not automatically know what I like to be called!" Well, then I one-up them at overreacting.

there is no delusion. trans people, including kids, know who they are.

How can you say that, when at least 4 in 5, and some estimates say almost 98% grow out of it?

That suggests that they likely aren't trans.

Except for the 98% that think they know who they are and then grow out of it. Imagine if we started advocating for immediate hormone therapy at that age because it "helps transition." You'd be fucking over 98% of the kids that grow out of it because you want that 2% to have it slightly easier.

Did this actually happen? Because last I heard, there weren't any sources or anything like that.

that goes back to my issues with the methodology. they aren't just counting kids who say they're trans. they're also counting any kid who shows any gender non-conforming behavior. those kids were never trans in the first place, and are only being counted in order to dupe people like you into thinking the actual trans kids should get the help and respect they deserve.

the kids who do say they are trans at 4, and still do at 5, and still do at 6 don't stop saying they are at 13, or 18.

and the ultimate issue is, there is no harm is believing the kids who say they are trans. nothing at that age is permanent. the only risk is a few embarrassing memories.

but none of that is relevant to this point. stop calling trans people delusional. that word has a meaning, and it simply doesn't apply to us. we are fully, painfully, aware of our situations.

imagine we fuck with the kids' brains to make them conform to their sex because "that's who they really are"


imagine if we stopped using slippery slope arguments.

What? There's no slippery slope. If 98% of kids that associate with being trans grow out of it, then ANYTHING done to kids before that "grow out" period has an extremely high chance of doing damage at a significantly higher rate than it helps the kids who don't grow out of it. There's no slope at all. I'm talking directly to the statistic.

EDIT: But hypothetically let's talk to your point, too. In this imaginary world we either treat every kid that claims to be trans as soon as possible, or we "make them conform to their sex" as you say. In this scenario, treating them has a 98% false positive rate. In your scenario, "fixing" them has a 2% false positive rate. Anyone that's not completely insane would choose the former because it does far, FAR less harm.
