You think you are not anti trans. But it is clear by the way you describe what you 'think' is the process by which these treatments are facilitated that you either aren't aware of your ignorance to the truth or not. One can be excused. The other cannot. You feel it is as easy as going to a doctor and getting prescribed medication. It isn't. That you are so blatantly dishonest is my point. You try to pass it off as fact and they are the furthest from fact that you can be. The process of transitioning is long or at least not as quick as you try to convince people that it is. It involves counseling and consultations and repeated visits to monitor progress and then medication(that DOES NOT STERILIZE ANYONE) which again requires repeated visits to monitor hormone levels, then potentially surgery if all agree it is warranted. A hammer to a nail, it is not. I'm sorry that you were convinced of an obvious lie. But you were. And you are now trying to pass it along as truth. I am just trying to inform you of that fact and you are unwilling or unable to understand. It is your blatant refusal to understand the truth that makes you anti trans and makes what you say anti trans. If you were just mistaken, it may be understood. But on a number of occasions you refuse to consider that you are wrong and that anyone else could possibly have differing or more accurate information than you. And I do. Because I want to. I seek it out. That you're scared to learn is not my problem. Cause celebre, is sticking up for a marginalized group that conservatives use as a boogeyman to demonize and castigate as the reason for immorality in the united states and reason to pass bathroom bills and keep kids from playing sports on a nontraditional team or restrict abortion or use tax dollars to pay for church services. Conservatives don't punch up. Its always at a group that has much less power or influence. Why do you think that is? Because you have no other ideas. Just keep people scared and voting. Restricting transgender kids: when has a knee jerk reaction like this, to a new thing ever benefitted that group in the long run? I don't care how uncomfortable you are with the group or those that support them. You are wrong. Its tough to hear and I'll bet in a few years when you finally come around, tougher to admit. They are here. The are human and they deserve everything that everyone else gets by default. Restricting anything is inhumane and cruel and you should be ashamed to even suggest that things be restricted because you feel icky about it. NEW RESTRICTIONS. Can you even hear yourself? That's all you want. Keep things as they are right now, forever. WHY? What are you so afraid of? Its pretty obvious its something, what is it? Must be terrifying living in your head. Scared of everything the great leader tells you to be afraid of. Would much rather think for myself.

45 will likely as not be dead in a few years. based on health and consumption of diet coke and mcd's. Not a huge fan of the people that will likely try to carry on the policies and ideas that 45 inspired. 45 is just a hateful bigoted person. Not one to be emulated or revered. Just a grifter. Why celebrate it either way? agreed.

I can tell you are emotionally triggered. So lets just explore cowardice for a second and what it means to beg someone to ban me because you can't handle a topic that YOU BROUGHT UP! I never mentioned your kids or if you had any. I was perfectly happy to remain ignorant to that fact. But needing to add an emotional element to the conversation you volunteered some info that you probably regret. I get that. Sucks. Can't unring that bell. But don't you dare try to claim that I had anything to do with it. Now I just feel bad. That based on the transphobic comments you've made that it probably doesn't stop there. Likely as not there are other topics that have wide support from science and medicine that you feel isn't moral or right or just icky and so you will ignore it or actively oppose them. Or you have opinions of groups that do not comport with reality and will pass those along to friends and acquaintances and thus perpetuate the cycle of otherising and hating other humans for the curse of being different than you. Or you just not caring enough to learn that your opinions are and have always been wrong. You're a bigot and I just feel bad.

Getting better ideas? What ideas? Ban abortion, exactly what I said 45 would try to do. Great plan. That will kill the GOP. Would love to see them fizzle and die as a party but not at the cost of countless women and families that will be ruined. Doesn't seem to me you care too much about that, huh. Lots of compassion and sympathy for those with less means. Inflation Reduction- where is inflation at today vs 3 years ago? Chips Act - Bringing manufacturing back to USA. Insulin capped at $35/month - Do you even understand how important that is to most people that need it? Lowest unemployment in decades - Stock market hitting records - Rebuilding infrastructure - what was the last one's plan? was there one? NOPE Gun reduction legislation - Fight against Russian invasion - where as someone else would welcome them in, who do you think I'm referring to? Changing classification of marijuana - so now it can be studied for potential benefits instead of being a racist policy Not to mention all the things that will happen when dems get 51 members in the senate to break the filibuster and really get some things moving. That'll be a great day! Open borders is such a nebulous term. If you mean the parts of the border that do not have fence or are not regularly patrolled because they are so remote. Yes, those areas are open. But where people can and do cross and are patrolled and guarded. The border is NOT OPEN. There is a process. I'm sorry if you don't like that its too easy(in your opinion) to gain entry if they know the process but that's too bad. But it is not 'open'. But if you have evidence to prove me wrong, please include it in a rebuttal? Prices likely won't come down because corporations are in the business of making money and they don't feel the need to trim their profits right now. Is that fair or patriotic of them? No. Should there be laws put in place to keep it from happening in the future? I'm glad we can both agree on that. The economy is doing great. Probably the best in the world at this point in the recovery. That you don't want to believe it based on the facts of reality is on you.

Did you think about it for a beat or just throw the question? I apologies. Perhaps you did. Seems evident to force people fleeing for their lives to fight, anyone, let alone professional fighters seems pretty obviously a psychopath's fever dream. So, ya its a bit dehumanizing.

Couldn't that be sad for conservatives?(minus the buffoons bit, not gonna name-call right outta the gate) Seems like your otherising a group you don't like. Making it easier to dismiss their ideas and thoughts. Could that be detrimental to getting better ideas or opinions on a topic? I guess the caveat would be not having all the knowable info on a topic already. Perhaps you do.

Not 'how'. It is. That's it. It just is. Coming from the former president of the US. Its a horrible thing to think let alone say out loud.

I'm sorry. But i'm a little late to this party. What is the problem? Can anyone tell me why anything happening at .0000012%(one millionth of one percent) is worth addressing at any higher level than is already? Can anyone give me an example of a thing that happens at this rate that we care about at all? ANYTHING? The Heritage Foundation, which is pretty conservative has 1513 cases of voter fraud going back to 1982ish. Let me repeat that. 1513. If we count just the presidential elections since then. Roughly 1.251 BILLION votes have been cast. That comes out to .0000012%. That's just the presidential elections. Which, from looking at a few of the cases, were not from presidential elections. THIS IS A SOLUTION IN SEARCH OF A PROBLEM. Keep it simple. Get better ideas and more people will vote for you.

I hope you find peace.

Many things are happening. Why, in your mind, is the occurrence of this phenomenon important? And I don't believe you. As I recall you failed to prove that 'porn' appeared anywhere, just that 'I saw it myself'. Which counts for fu.. all. What you think is compelling evidence, isn't. Each time you try to prove relevance of something by appealing to the least likely occurrence of a phenomenon and try to paint it as a regular thing, you show your a$$. And let us know how little you understand 'compelling evidence' or how low your bar really is.

Have better opinions of how to be a good steward to those you are responsible for.

Are you trying to convince us that the exception is the rule? Nice try tho. Near miss. Justice system is not perfect. Tell me something I don't know?

Still trying to thread that needle huh? Not as much of an applause line as you think. If you had anything to say you wouldn't try(and I do mean try, because you fail every time) to shut down a conversation by saying something stupid like...(pointing at your post)

News at nine. Conservatives try to make the exception the rule and this is no different. Abortion at 9 months: doesn't happen Immigrants cause more crime than citizens: not true. Trickle down economics actually works: nope. Socialism is communism: wrong. Btw, you live in a socialist society. Examples, public schools, fire/police department, HERE ARE MORE, Y'all are so afraid of your own shadow its embarrassing. Not to you apparently.

Yes. You're still racist. The President has changed their mind on those topics. Can you? Have you? Ever? Sorry but there's no there there. You have nothing. Your preferred candidate is a bigger racist. I win. 45 lost two popular votes. Will be a third and will be the most humiliating one yet.

I know that you have no idea what you are talking about and the arrogance you display by trying(and failing) to convince us that you know everything about these incredibly nuanced topics tells me that you need as much help as possible. So yes. If I were you, I would get some help from medical professionals if you find yourself in that situation. For the sake of your kids. I'm just here. Looking out for the best interest of your kids. Especially when you refuse to. Happy Pride!

Did you make as big a stink when SCOTUS decided tax money needed to be available so churches could resurface their playgrounds or pay for the maintenance of a giant cross in Maryland or public school money could go to, mostly rich families, to pay for private, usually religious schools? You tell me you have half a sh.. about this stuff than an EO that you don't really care about that tries to help a problem you were screaming about but now you're screaming about HOW its being fixed and by WHOM. Your alligator tears are so obvious. Statesmen. The President's role, in the constitution, is mostly foreign policy.

Your post, as usual, was a waste of time. You are a coward and liar. You are scared to answer any question or make and defend any point. Just throwing insults is the only thing you have the courage to do. Congrats, you're a 3rd grader. And not a very smart one. And I do live rent free in your head because when I'm gone all you do is pine for my return. Keep chasing that dopamine.

Did. Copy and paste into a 'text-to-read' app if you can't read.

How does this effect you? Why do you care? The person in charge is trying to fix a problem in the way they feel is the best at the time. Why is that bad? Could the bill that was scuttled a few weeks ago do a better job? Perhaps. Why aren't you upset about that if you are truly worried about a dictatorial tyrant? "Hey GOP lets stop doing exactly what everyone thinks we're going to do, which is break the ship then complain that its broken. So we can be put in charge of fixing it(which we have already shown we are not qualified to do)." Do you think its convenient that GOPers only get worked up over the simplest of concepts? The ones that are easiest to misinterpret and can be tied around your emotions? Taxes: the freedom to do what you want when and how you want it. You already have that. Everyone does. Just don't hurt anyone. How much more freedom do you want or can you possibly have? What it really is is coveting. You see others doing well or better and you can't stand it. You want it for yourself. How will you get it? Either keep more for yourself, forsaking those with less than you. Or taking it from them so at least they can't have it. Immigration: goes back to coveting. Others will come in and take what you have made for yourself. Time and time again it has been proven that THAT doesn't happen. They don't cause any more crime than naturalized citizens do but y'all are convinced they do. Why? Because its emotional and it gets you whipped up. Is it true? No. But when you're in church and everyone is whoopin and hollerin and the dopamine is coursing through your veins, you don't care why it feels good you just like THAT it feels good. Is it true? No. But you're too far gone to care anymore and to question it might destroy your drug addicted brain. Othering: making 'them' your enemy. Allowing you to feel morally superior. That's the big one. Are we all pretty much the same? Yes. Imperfect people that are trying to navigate the world. But for conservatives there are roughly 50% of the population that are now their enemies in that venture and must be defeated. Conservative politicians actually, in 2024, say there are DEMONS inhabiting their political opponents. How is that not illegal? As a believer, what wouldn't you do to keep a DEMON from gaining power and influence in government? Hurt or possibly kill that person or persons? Its happened before. If that is not a call for violence I don't know what could be. I understand that you disagree with my perspective. And perhaps you have similar examples of Democratic representatives doing bad things and I would very much enjoy to discuss those examples. But those are just a few of the dumb arguments that keep coming up and from the party that wants to defund public school and give money to church. They are trying to make us all dumber. Because they know their ideas are crap and that the only ones that will vote for them either are dumb themselves or have a financial stake in winning. Am I wrong? If yes, how?

Nothing, you're just a jerk. Talk to your doctor about the effects it will have on someone you, supposedly, care for and how much trauma you will passively and actively inflict on them depending your decision. You are wrong at every step. Just not, purposefully, being a jerk is the answer to all these questions. But it seems that is too inconvenient for you and that THAT is enough of a reason to be an a$$h0l3. I'm sorry you can't be bothered with the needs of others. But hey, its better than being a sissy, bleeding heart, that... cares about people. Touche.

Wants some cheese with your whine? 'But but but but you're the real party of racists!' From the party of the person sued in the 70's for being racist. Every accusation is a confession. Are you trying to what-about racism? Your side owns racism! Flaunts it. Goes home and gargles with it. You all love it because it gives your silent minority a little bit more relevance to influence the country. If you didn't have racism you'd need ideas and you don't have those either. You are all just sad, lonely, racist people wondering why no one wants to sit next to you at Indigenous People's Day.

Was the line 'very fine people on both sides'? Because you're answering a question that no one asked.

Seeing as you never raise a point or evidence to support them other than 'I just don't like it when people who don't look or worship like me succeed in an way' If you did, we might be able to talk but you don't/can't. Every accusation is a confession.

If you were to answer any of the questions instead of whining, I'll bet its just habit at this point, you could come to the conclusion that the right is part of the problem and not the solution. But since they dislike the same people that you dislike and your trauma response is to wish others the same harm that was visited upon you at one point, you're ok with that. Therapy is a real thing and it helps. https://www.whitehouse.gov/cea/written-materials/2024/04/08/the-economics-of-administration-action-on-student-debt/ There's an expert. Weight: lots of tons. Since its more than one ton then I am correct in saying tons. I wasn't specific as to how many so as long as I hit the criteria I am correct. But thanks for holding me to a high standard. You are making me and everyone a better person when you whine about semantics and not address any of the questions I asked in the post. But they weren't to you so I can understand how you would just find one nonesense thing to cry about. Because you don't have anything meaningful to say. But again, thanks. https://www.morningstar.com/news/marketwatch/2024042340/heres-who-really-benefits-from-bidens-153-billion-in-student-debt-cancellation Expert. Weight: unknown https://www.investopedia.com/the-impact-of-cancelling-student-debt-5101053 Expert: Yes. Weight: Unknown 'Canceling student debt could be of particular benefit to lower-income borrowers, especially women and people of color. An academic paper in 2020 maintained that the “median wealth for Black households overall, not just borrowers, would instantly increase by 42% with $75,000 in student debt forgiveness and around 34% with $50,000 in forgiveness.”9 Those are higher amounts than President Biden has suggested, but would be in keeping with his administration’s initiatives to address racial equity. ' Would you rather lower-income borrowers especially women and people of color were yolked to their debt or rather able to make use of the schooling and advance in their lives and careers? If you want to go back and answer any of the questions, honestly, from the original post. I would welcome that too. But I imagine you're too afraid to do that.
