Agreed with the call for resignation. I take issue with any claim that D is better concerning different behaviors.

Fetterman, whose net worth is somehow ~$2M while living off his daddy's income into his 40s and bought a ~240K condo from his sister for $1, is the leading critic. The party of hard work, right? The party of Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi, and Brandon Biden... The party that earns their money the ethical way, right?

They are in Nebraska. https://trib.al/IOuvpn3

Nobody who runs on the open statement that abortion is murder will win the presidency. Right-sided women joined the left with their pro-choice votes in right-leaning states like Kansas. Trump won the right by kicking the abortion choice back to the state powers, and he is now mitigating the left's attack with his updated pro-choice type statements with regards to 'weeks' and compromise.

Is it safe to say that social media has greatly spread social contagion?

Yes in that specific situation, anyone involved would be accountable. Please decrypt the second comment about inmate comments. I'm not aware of that discussion. Without a way to prove a taboo topic... I wager that millions believe that abortion is sometimes situationally murder. This puts them in an uncomfortable position because everyone knows someone who has had an abortion... To acknowledge that family/friends/coworkers have... will rip the fabric of relationships. Turning a blind eye is the safest approach for security purposes.

https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0202330 Lisa Littman, then an adjunct assistant professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, became interested in the possible role of social contagion in gender dysphoria among adolescents and young adults after noticing a few teenagers in the same friend group that began identifying as transgender. Based on parental feedback in 256 cases, parents described that the onset of gender dysphoria seemed to occur in the context of belonging to a peer group where one, multiple, or even all of the friends have become gender dysphoric and transgender-identified during the same timeframe. Parents also report that their children exhibited an increase in social media/internet use prior to the disclosure of a transgender identity. "Rapid-onset gender dysphoria" (or ROGD) is a term used to describe "a hypothesized new clinical subgroup of transgender youth, which would be characterized by coming out as transgender out of the blue in adolescence or early adulthood." In 2022, Littman stood by the core claims she made in her study, adding that ROGD "does not apply to all cases of gender dysphoria" and "doesn't imply that nobody benefits from transition".

There is nuance with homicide. Justifiable homicide may be when a person kills in self-defense or similar circumstances. It is not a legal charge but a classification used by police in cases where no crime was committed. https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/homicide If the homicide is classified as 'murder,' then yes. Both the client and the hitman are charged. The nuance is in when homicide is classified as murder, which is a complex topic. Example: A 28-year-old mother who aborts her 5-month-old unborn because she wants to focus on her career? Yes, I think she hired a hitman to murder her unborn. This is worse than a DUI and there should be accountability; e.g. doctor loses their license. There is a legal abortion compromise that isn't full-term and zero-term abortion; there is nuance and diplomacy needed.

Not everyone qualifies for LASIK, but PRK could be an option for you. Read the post again; both my comments about the obvious visual evidence of social influence, and the articles themself. The inferred evidence is strong.

Homicide is the killing of one human being by another. When a physician terminates the unborn, this is homicide. When the unborn is putting the mother's life at risk, and the physician performs a medical procedure to save the woman's life, and the unfortunate outcome is that the unborn is killed... that's still homicide. Not all homicide deserves 'charges.'

@Ban Basketball Here was the immediate post to your question for evidence. (page 1)

There are situations where I agree with "medical procedures" and am thankful for the physician services, and there are situations where the doctor's action fulfills a selfish mother's choice. The latter is ethically wrong from both the mother and physician... and I vote locally accordingly.

Well, so far in this post... because of your use of 'absolutes'... the scientific articles have your statements wrong on the increasing number of gender dysphoria diagnosis the social causes that influence the increased diagnoses of gender dysphoria that genital surgery has occurred for trans youth You are correct that most of society does not understand the difference between sex and gender. Again, what does Christopher Rufo say in that video that is wrong? I'm currently nodding in agreement and have open ears to better understand a different perspective.

Everything is situational. Be very specific and I'll give an opinion.

Abortion is homicide. And yes, child genital cutting is occurring (rarely) to children.

Do you know what genital surgery is frequently performed on children's genitals without the child's consent? Circumcision. WTF!

Abortions have occurred after birth. It's documented. Castrations have occurred to kids. It's documented. But why is this discussed... unless some crazy folks are talking about making it common and legal to do... or perhaps transitioning without parental permission?

Yaz and Taylor would beat the pudgy, uninspired Sadulaev we just saw at 86 kg. A fit and inspired Sad beats everyone.

What does Christopher Rufo say that is wrong?

There is a reason that Schools and Churches want to 'educate' children when they too young to think critically...

Who cares about this guy? He is sometimes clever but has a sleazy untrustworthy vibe.

Based on my life experience, exposure plus social / peer pressure is the most likely contributor. Examples are plenty: ice bucket challenge, one chip challenge, the cinnamon challenge, the pass out challenge, the contagion of suicidal behavior in location clusters (NLoM link), TikTok dances, sexified tween clothing, boys expecting pornstars in bed, girls kissing based on dares and drugs, drugs, rap video influence on drug usage... Okay. Now, I'm researching and am not finding many studies on the sudden increase in gender dysphoria. Still, these two seem relevant: 1,655 cases (article one - Diaz/Bailey) and 256 cases (article 2 - Littman) support the rapid onset gender dysphoria (ROGD) hypothesis.
