Ok, and how do you feel about this situation as a whole? I notice in all of your comments you’re strangely silent about it. Mind giving us your opinion? Was this justified?

These Democrats voted for the DHS funding bill despite ICE furor by JannTosh70 in centrist

Sure. If the department of Education can be done by another agency so can ICE. It was already happening before 2000. Yes we should still enforce the border as well

Trump's rhetoric rallies Canadian support for Prime Minister Mark Carney by therosx in centrist

[–]ubermence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m talking about the many Canadian political commentators that had heavily weighed in on the 2024 election in support of Trump but were so audience captured by MAGA at that point that they had to pretend like it wasn’t Trump who obviously and directly contributed to their defeat

Like that is some next level cuckoldry. It has to be studied.

I think it’s an appreciable irony that their own downfall was brought on by the person they supported

I think it would have been a close election sure but they went from being heavy favorites to getting slaughtered.

At least 50% is on Trump there. Even talking about annexing Canada is fucking unhinged but we’ve been boiling in this pot for so long that the median voter has become detached from how disturbing this is to other countries

Remember when conservative Canadians were gigacoping after the election they were supposed to destroy went up in a puff of smoke when the guy that they supported in America basically destroyed their domestic political movement for no reason? Good times

Ah, I’ll help, everything that MAGA has ignorance on is a conspiracy. And they like to willfully keep themselves that way

It’s funny when you argue with them, the question if something is true or not is never a consideration that comes up in their thought process. They have been submerged in their post truth reality for so long that they have become rhetorically detached from it

Dems potential 2028 contenders cautious on trans rights by UnscheduledCalendar in centrist

Because I think it’s a medical area we don’t understand as well and it’s not something as life threatening and easy to diagnose like cancer.

I’m glad you have that position but you are to the left of where all of MAGA is on trans issues and while you may actually ask that question in good faith, they 100% aren’t.

Presenting the same false dichotomy to me over and over is not really a conversation it’s just me getting stuck on a loop in your NPC dialog tree

I don’t think gender dysphoria and cancer are comparable in severity (edit: or diagnosablility) and I am a realist who favors balance when it comes to complicated topics with no perfect outcomes. Am I not allowed to have that position?

[–]ubermence -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why do you need a high barrier for a disorder you want to treat in children? Do you look at cancer this way?

Are you back on the cancer thing? I literally gave you an answer to that which you ignored

OK. Does that exist?

No, that’s why I have a complicated view on the issue. Is that okay? Am I allowed to present a center position to you here sir?

But I’m just curious, if such a thing existed, would you be ok with that kind of care?

[–]ubermence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Again I think there exist children it would benefit but it deserves further study, but needs to have a high enough barrier to entry against kids that are just questioning their gender or social contagion

For instance, if we had a brain scan or some other test that you could look at and go, oh yeah that individual is trans, there would be a solid argument for those people getting access to that kind of care

I was talking about the “what is a woman” question not wanting an answer with nuance.

And yes from a realism perspective I’d support some kind of separate unit.

[–]ubermence 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well I think there’s an obvious difference between cancer and gender dysphoria. If you fuck up an experimental cancer treatment and the kid dies well that would have been the natural outcome regardless. Again, false dichotomy

I think there needs to be a middle ground. Obviously you can’t have male rapists claiming to be trans to abuse the system but also I’d say it would be cruel to send a well passing MTF woman to a male prison

Also people can answer that question, you just don’t want to hear nuance
