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.

The newspaper clipping could look like... ---------------------------------------------- A Manhattan, Kansas-based group has achieved an extraordinary feat, setting a new world record for the longest wrestling dual, which stretched an impressive 100 hours and one minute. This remarkable achievement was orchestrated by the Endless Wrestling Foundation, a dedicated organization on a mission to generate funds for charitable causes. The dual commenced on a Thursday morning and concluded at noon on the following Monday, with an ever-rotating roster of 60 passionate wrestlers divided into two formidable teams. Bolstering their efforts were numerous volunteers, along with an essential crew of 60 scorekeepers and 35 referees ensuring the event's smooth operation. These valiant wrestlers were divided into "Team Courage" and "Team Strength," all united in their noble pursuit of raising funds for multiple charitable organizations, including Operation Breakthrough, which aids children in poverty, Children's Mercy Hospital, and the Beat the Streets wrestling non-profit. In a display of unparalleled stamina, wrestlers participated in shifts, each engaging in 33 matches, lasting a total of three hours per wrestler, culminating in an astonishing 1000 matches overall. Notably, participants were confined to designated areas within the school premises, including the gym, locker room, and cafeteria until the monumental dual reached its conclusion. The age range of the wrestlers spanned from 18 to 70, ensuring a diverse and captivating spectacle for attendees. For those in the audience, the experience was more than just a sporting event; it featured live music, food trucks, and a wine and beer garden, providing additional entertainment for the supportive fans who gathered to back this extraordinary endeavor. At the conclusion of this five-day wrestling marathon, Team Courage emerged victorious with a commanding 2738 points, surpassing Team Strength's valiant effort, which tallied 1269 points. The group's overarching goal was to raise $300,000 for their chosen charities, and their commitment to this noble cause persists through a silent auction, allowing them to further contribute to their selected philanthropic organizations.

Some Midwest baseball players recently broke the Guinness World Record for the longest game by playing 100 hours straight while attempting to raise $300,000 for charity. What are some of the longest wrestling matches (Fix/Suriano, Klein/Asikainen)? What would this look like as an endless wrestling dual?

Why is this challenge by Iran lost? That looks like a step out to me in real-time and on playback.
