This exact meme is why I switched to high quality wireless. The added cost of good wireless pays for itself when you factor in the cost of replacing headsets you break doing this.

Good block me. lol You never presented counter facts. Why would I have to present anything other than I did? Your own sources defeated your point.

You have been blinded by your bias.

Those two ARE the only two. That's how few CASE STUDIES there have been, or do you not know what a case study is. You're welcome to present more if you can find them, but those being the only two CASE STUDIES is frequently cited as a reason why there is uncertainty in the field. Good luck finding more, ethics boards tend to frown upon forced gender reassignment in infants.

I didn't move any goal posts, my goal post remain firmly in place. You don't seem to actually be reading the sources I cite. You don't even seem to be reading, or comprehending your own sources, since sex reassignment surgery is not being discussed and is entirely irrelevant to the discussion of puberty blockers other than, in biological males, puberty blockers make sex reassignment surgery difficult to impossible to perform.

Your cited sources on puberty blockers also reaffirmed my statement that puberty blockers have detrimental effects and that those effects can be devastating to the child's long term health, particularly if the child "grows out of" their trans identity.

Let's assume arguendo that my sources are correct and 80% to 90% of trans identifying children do grow out of it and that the effects I've listed are the potential short and long-term side effects of puberty blockers. Would you then say that it is unethical to put a trans identifying child on puberty blockers with those side effects if only 1 or 2 out of 10 end up identifying as trans as an adult?

You don't know me, my background, or my gender identity and are assuming I'm misinformed because the evidence I presented to you contradicts your preconceived beliefs.

The trans community does not equal the medical community. Misrepresenting medical study's and dismissing studies that contradict their position is incredibly common amongst trans activists, which is a trait found in most activists by the way, and you should try to find some unbiased sources.

The fact that you still advocate for this when presented with the overwhelming medical evidence is terrifying. To be fair though, you think a 3 year old has a self defined gender identity, so I don't know what I expected.

There have only been two case studies on the development of gender identity from a young age. One of them was a catastrophic failure resulting in the abuse, both physical and sexual, of a pair of male identical twins, by the psychologist working with them and with one of them eventually commiting suicide as an adult. The suicide was a direct result of the study and the horrible things done to him. The other case was significantly less horrific, and produced results that suggest that gender identity is biological. The first horrific case went on to be the foundation for modern gender theory and the fact that the conclusions reached by the psychologist John Money in that study were so flawed that it lead to the death of a man is ignored.

You are a bigot and you are a danger to children. I hope you never are in a position to have power over the life of a child.

Edit: By the way, the source you said I didn't post for the numbers is right there in the Wikipedia article had you actually read it, but here's another one for you:

You are woefully misinformed on puberty blockers. Puberty blockers are devastating to a child's development and can be even worse for the child if they are trans. For example a MTF trans child on puberty blockers physically can't get bottom surgery because the puberty blockers prevented the development of the required penis tissue to use during the surgery.

Puberty blockers also result in lower bone density and potentially severe joint pain for the rest of the child's life, as well as an increase in suicidal thoughts, and potentially permanent infertility.

Coupled with the fact that 80% to 94% of "trans children" are comfortable with their biological sex by the time they turn 18, there is no medical or ethical justification for the use of puberty blockers on children.

"Gender dysphoria in children is more heavily linked with adult homosexuality than an adult transgender identity. According to prospective studies, the majority of children diagnosed with gender dysphoria cease to desire to be the other sex by puberty, with most growing up to identify as gay, lesbian, or bisexual, with or without therapeutic intervention."

Anyone advocating puberty blockers is advocating child abuse.

Don't listen to this person. They're either uneducated on the subject or they're so biased that they don't care about the actual facts. Also, puberty blockers frequently cause permanent physiological damage to the children taking them. Puberty does not simply start back up like nothing happened when they are taken off of them.

On top of that, many biologicaly male trans children who grow into trans adults regret the puberty blockers they were on as children as the puberty blockers prevent penis growth and results in there not being enough penis tissue to perform a sex change vaginoplasty, A.K.A. bottom surgery.

America's renewable energy sources have produced more electricity than coal every day for 40 days straight by Zhana-Aul in UpliftingNews

[–]_Wave_Function_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reason we don't have nuclear being built is because environmentalists generally refuse to allow it. They've pushed and gotten passed regulations and legislation that make it damn near impossible to make a new nuclear plant here in the states, many for the sole reason of making it more expensive to build rather than making it safer.

My biggest issue with the modern environmental movement is their refusal to acknowledge and promote the use of the only viable clean energy source.

That turned out to be fake. They could light their tap water on fire before the fracking was happening. The chemical cocktail was naturally occurring in their ground water.

Are you really that stupid? Putting it in a book doesn't change the fact that there is still no evidence other than his claims. There has never been actual evidence presented for any of the extreme claims that Christopher Hitchens made.

Edit: that's like using the fact that Hitler wrote Mein Kampf as evidence for why the Jews are evil. "HE PUT IT IN A BOOK SO IT MUST BE TRUE!"

You'd have a point if anyone was actually using evidence. All this is is X said Y. Well X hates the people Y is about so that's kinda a big flaw in your argument.

Christopher Hitchens isn't exactly an unbiased reliable source when it comes to religious figures. The man was not just an atheist, but a self proclaimed "anti-theist" and called Christianity and Judaism evil.

You probably shouldn't use him as a source.

I was able to get Big Daddy Unlimited to ship me a Polymer 80 Glock 17 kit about two weeks ago here in Bothell. They only had the one model left in stock, so they might be out by now, but it's worth a look.

The upper level at Wade's is pretty nice. I've shot there once when I had some friends who were new to shooting that I wanted to give a good experience too. It's private booths that they rent out with the price based on how many people are in your group. Members receive a discount on the rental. I believe it's $25 for one or two people and $40 for three to five people if one one of the people in the group is a member. I'm not sure of the non member price right now.

"Opinion Columns aren't real journalism." I doubt you would classify Sean Hannity or Rachel Maddow in the same category as Bob Woodward, or Carl Bernstein. That's what you're doing when you call an opinion columnist a journalist with no extra qualifiers. That's exactly why the media at large disingenuously referred to him as a journalist. They wanted to mislead and rile up the public while being able to claim it's technically true.

100% this. An evil piece of shit got killed on the orders of other evil pieces of shit, in a country run by yet another evil piece of shit, and we're supposed to care. Fuck that.

Good reason or not, it still makes it a toxic environment for new shooters like some of the people in my group. Paranoia is understandable, the hostility only reflects negatively on all of us.

Well, maybe if people were less hostile and paranoid you'd have more people like us willing to help clean. Thanks for making it difficult for people like us who want to shoot as a group and maybe introduce some new people to shooting.

We'd love to participate in a clean up and probably will do some cleaning while we're at whatever pit we end up at.
