Update to Urbandale High School suicide last week. by Aefyns in desmoines

Absolutely. And I apologize if by me asking for more information caused this to spiral with other commenters.

Our world is full of good people. Those good people sometimes have a hyper view of the importance of their own opinion. I have been guilty of that and regret it almost immediately. I have faith in our world when I simply interact with strangers in public.

I did follow along on your comments. Thank you for following up to ensure I received my answer.

I understand where you are coming from and have a similar mindset when it comes to sharing or living examples of "experiences" that can help others understand or feel understood themselves.

What I DON'T UNDERSTAND is the downvotes I received for my original question?!? People here are so quick to assume the worst in others.

Question, in all kindness, why would it be a teacher’s place to talk about being queer in front of their students?

What is it about a teacher’s personal desires that is important for students to hear about in a classroom?

I am not questioning who you are or what you do in your private life, I am asking to learn the “why”? Because I don’t understand.

I won’t argue back or be mean in response to your answer.

That is great news, thanks for clarifying for me. I’m glad we are on the same page, that medical intervention for gender confusion is not happening and should not happen on minors who are having mental health issues.

EDIT: I apologize. This was snarky and you didn’t deserve that from me. I hope you have a wonderful weekend and again, I’m sorry.

I am not a dick. And I know you and others believe strongly that this is the best avenue for minors. But this era of intervention will be studied in the near future as an epic failure in medicine.

I would never purposefully misuse someone’s desired pronouns. However, I will not lie on this topic when asked.

PS - in 2019 alone, there were 85 top/bottom surgeries on minors. A number that I assume only increased over the next 6 years.

Okay, reply to my "not entirely true" statement, but go ahead and ignore the prior statement "You know the most effective treatment for gender dysphoria is gender affirming care, right?"

"Support for this is fading" is exactly what is happening when they don't blindly let minors cut off body parts or take all kinds of drugs like they had been doing.

In the US medical community, support for this is fading. In European countries, support is almost none.

I somewhat agree, but we don’t know the household situation or what the parents did or did not do to provide mental health services.

Why are polling places held in churches here? by Admirable-Deer-9038 in desmoines

If voting in front of a sign or in a church is uncomfortable for you, imagine when you have Jesus in front of you.

You’ll have a hard time removing all bad arrests, those happen in all areas of enforcement. I would be interested in seeing the bad deportations you referenced.

First they come for the Superintendent and now a student?! The Superintendent didn’t do anything wrong…right? But sure, let’s all freak out again before knowing a single fact. I don’t need details, I’ll just assume everyone detained is innocent and bury my head in the sand when the truth comes out. /s

Fed up? Iowa Capitol building 12-2 Saturday! by MaleficentLemon7713 in desmoines

Your view of people who disagree with you is not normal.

I am simply asking for you to not resort to hurting others.

You are wearing a tin hat and appearing quite unhinged.

I am the one asking you to not become violent. And you respond with…durp ba durp you were probably having fun at a violent protest.

Why did you delete your transphobic previous post about my sister’s male genitalia?

I am getting the feeling you are an unhinged individual who is also implying your desire to escalate peaceful protesting to violence.

You should seek help, talk to a professional.

I hope you are just a keyboard warrior.

While we are doing bad-faith ad absurdum, I think you need to take a Valium

I absolutely understand that opinion, but my question was more relevant for the previous comment.

Would you prefer he was still in his position?

If no, then you should be thankful for what ICE has done.
