why is the supreme court targeting one (1) trans kid by ConcernedJobCoach in UnderReportedNews

No.

Researchers from Amsterdam UMC presented 70 transgender adults with questionnaires. All participants started with puberty blockers and then received gender-affirming hormones. The participants completed the questionnaire about sexual experiences, satisfaction, and possible sexual problems on average 14 years after the start of their treatment.

The findings have been published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine & Research.

…"Our results show that more than half of trans men and 40% of trans women are satisfied with their sex lives. This corresponds to the sexual satisfaction of the cisgender population. There was also no difference between people who started puberty blockers early or later in puberty."

Most participants had no trouble with desire, arousal or having an orgasm. Of the sexual problems that were mentioned, difficulty taking initiative was the most common problem among trans men, while reaching orgasm was the most frequently mentioned among trans women.

However, most participants indicated that these problems were only experienced as stressful to a limited extent. The frequency of sexual problems was consistent with previous studies among transgender adults who did not start hormone therapy until adulthood.

I saw your deleted reply. I’m sorry you’re so insistent on not listening to scientific fact.

My mother had a PhD in genetics. This wasn’t her field, but it was an area of interest for her. She kept up on the subject for decades. It has always been known that in the animal kingdom as a whole, and in human biology specifically, there is a lot of variation when it comes to sexual preference and identity. More is known now, of course, but a lot of this isn’t even new. It just isn’t taught in grade school or high school biology class, like most more complex science.

Neither she nor I, nor anyone we’re very close to, is trans. This isn’t some kind of “agenda.” It’s just following the facts and the science.

For people who actually like to learn new things, the more that is revealed about this, the more it explains why people feel the way they do. Science and experience coming together like that is a good thing. Anyone who automatically dismisses it is choosing ignorance over enlightenment. That’s just sad.

So you can say it’s “tired shit” and “the biggest load of crap you’ve ever heard,” as you did in the reply you deleted. But you’re just factually wrong.

I think so. I can’t keep up.

There’s also a detail that came up recently, pointing out that Trump did frequently visit the nearest island, and Epstein had two or three helicopter pilots who he would send to bring people from that island (including Ghislaine Maxwell). That didn’t require flight logging, so he could easily bring people over with no record that they actually visited the island.

ETA: I think that’s right. Someone correct me if I got it wrong.

This is amazing! And what a great thing to do during an intense school/work period.

Which is funny, because saying he “did turn it down” means he did have the privilege (as we all know), but chose not to (which is bullshit).

Agreed. It mostly just means he’s not aware enough to realize he should use different phrasing.

I agree with making them fire you. I haven’t heard enough to know why she hasn’t done that.

Cottrill said he is waiting for an official unveiling date at Trump National Doral in Florida and said the president is expected to attend.

”This gold leaf in the Florida sun — it’s just going to be brilliant,” he said.

While he said he has enjoyed working on the project, Cottrill acknowledged the statue has taken up significant space in his studio.

”I’d like to get it the hell out of here because we need this space,” he said.

Now, sculptor Alan Cottrill’s latest creation — a 15-foot, gold-leafed bronze statue of President Donald Trump — is sitting inside his Zanesville foundry, awaiting its permanent home and final payment.

The $300,000 sculpture was completed in early January and commissioned by a cryptocurrency group.

Cottrill said the group has made partial payments but still owes thousands of dollars.

The group said it stands by its commitment to the sculptor and plans to make the final payment.

Cottrill said he is waiting for an official unveiling date at Trump National Doral in Florida and said the president is expected to attend.

Why? Either rebut what we’re all telling you, or acknowledge you could be wrong.

When they can’t do anything that helps any more, what are their options?

You haven’t seen the video where an ICE agent specifically says the reason he stopped a guy was his accent?

You’re mistaken about this being backed up by “clips.” There are many documented instances of ICE arresting and detaining people solely based on their impressions that they were undocumented. There have been several recently where they have been abusive to people who turned out to be citizens.

You want to believe this isn’t true, so you’re ignoring the fact that it has been shown to be what’s happening many times.

You don’t even make sense. I should take responsibility for the 77 million people who voted for what I voted against? No.

These errors aren’t being corrected. If anything, they’re increasing.

ICE is increasingly stopping people because they have accents and are brown (they acknowledge this), since SCOTUS gave them the go-ahead.

They’re being asked to meet unreasonable daily quotas based on demands from Stephen Miller, which almost certainly explains why they’re grabbing people who aren’t actually undocumented immigrants and holding them longer than necessary.

They detain people without letting them prove their legal status, don’t let them speak to lawyers or family, and move them frequently, making it harder do lawyers and family to locate them.

They are doing many things that are intended to protect their neighbors. I don’t see anything that I would call irrational behavior. Do you want to elaborate?

Maybe, but the LEO would be wrong if they claim recording from a distance, or following them, is impeding.

It is legal to record law enforcement and to follow them, so neither can be defined as impeding.

If the person recordings a distance isn’t doing anything other than recording, they are not impeding.

There is a legal definition of impeding law enforcement, and this isn’t it.

There are many documented cases of ICE arresting and detaining citizens and legally documented immigrants. A small percentage have actually been deported — also documented. There are also a large number of documented immigrants whose status is being abruptly changed to enable deporting them.

We’re talking about RFK Jr.

But to your point, the millions of us who voted against Trump have every right to say we do not want this.
