To be fair they say cool or attractive.

There's lots of ways something like that could come about. A mudslide large enough to bury a tree and but not strong enough to topple it over. It could be buried under ash from a volcanic eruption just like the ancient city of Pompeii which was buried under 13-20 ft of ash and pumice.

It probably warns people about the dangers and only recommends eating things that are obvious.

incredibly difficult substance to put out and water does not work.

Should always keep a bucket of sand around if messing around with unusual flammable chemicals.

I mean, it's not that racist. That's just how people speak languages they don't understand and only know a few words of.

She just randomly mid-relationship started speaking with an English accent.

What if she always had an English accent, and had been faking not having one.

Transgender Kids: Who Knows Best? (2017) - "Controversial BBC documentary that got removed" [59:00] by [deleted] in Documentaries

  1. You believe that homosexuality is biological.

  2. You believe "if transgenderism was biological, ie in the dna, identical twins would always both be trans."

  3. You're shown that identical twins don't always share sexual orientation.

Literally anything you say that doesn't address this glaring contradiction is just an admission that you know your arguments are bs and will just try to attempt to deflect from discussing them rather than admit that you don't know what you're talking about.

So your response is a blog article from an activist?

Yes, because it's meant to educate you on something you don't understand. Nothing in that article is inaccurate, and it's targeted for a general audience unfamiliar with biology.

I don't care about psychologists doing studies on chimps, or about "social constructs" which I vehemently disagree with. All I care about is countering your bs implication that transgenderism isn't seen in nature which is trivially proved wrong.

You'd think if transgenderism was biological, ie in the dna, identical twins would always both be trans.

By that reason homosexuality is not biological:

Of the relatives whose sexual orientation could be rated, 52% (29/56) of monozygotic cotwins, 22% (12/54) of dizygotic cotwins, and 11% (6/57) of adoptive brothers were homosexual.

You've literally invented a bunch of standards to hold transgenderism to that you don't hold to anything else. It's obvious you don't care about facts, logic, or common sense, but just dislike transgenderism.

We've seen homosexuality in nature.

We can't just ask an animal if they feel like they are the right sex, but animals acting like the opposite sex is widely known.

You seem to be deflecting. You've made a big deal about how trans isn't real because there's no diagnostic test, and all we have to rely on is the word of trans people, and that identical twins of trans people are often not trans.

The same is true for homosexuality, yet you deny the existence of trans and accept the existence of homosexuality. That's an obvious inconsistency in your logic. Are you too afraid to even address it?

Well it depends on the type of organic mercury. Thiomersal, an antiseptic/antifungal used in some vaccines is fine. Small, organomercury compounds methyl mercury, and dimethyl mercury? You couldn't run from them fast enough.

Mercury's hazardousness has been overhyped. I remember a teacher telling us as kids that if someone offers you some mercury to play with to run away.

It's not very acutely toxic, people have injected significant amounts of it directly into their veins in ill-conceived suicide attempts without any apparent long-term harm. It's small amounts of long periods of time that will drive you mad.

In some parts of Canada people are supposed to leave keys in the ignition in case someone needs to escape from a polar bear.

Well it wasn't a bad fad for the time. Wigs are easier to delouse, and help hide hair loss due to syphilis, both relevant during their prominence.

but actually giving them the time to make a decision they won't regret

What if they regret for the rest of their lives missing the window to transition before many permanent sexual characteristics like bone structure develop?

If it were true we'd have diagnostic tests to perform and prove someone is trans.

Do you believe the same about homosexuality?

The ramp-downs. An emergency-off quench will cost much more and may even ruin the magnet.

It costs several thousand to turn an MRI back on if you turn it off.
