hey guys, what's your opinion on the transgender community?

 @97G7DBJ from Michigan commented…2yrs2Y

I think its stupid as **** and a boy cant magically wake up one day and decide to be a girl. Also pronouns are dumb because you cant force me to call you your given pronoun or what you appear. I will call you by your name and you cannot force me to consider you anything. And the amount of people to de-transition is insane. It's becoming the 'trend' to be transgender in a way.

Your second comment is correct but misguided. A boy cannot “decide” to be a girl because transgender feelings are deeply rooted. As for pronouns being dumb, you used twelve in your post. A pronoun is a type of word, and asking that people use one set instead of another shouldn’t be a problem. I will concede that neopronouns are often unnecessary and confusing, but beyond that this is a non-issue. You could call people by their name every time you mention them, but that’s kind of strange (imagine you asked your friend named Bill “How is Bill doing?”). As for…  Read more

When he says pronouns are dumb, he means that the idea of being able to choose your own pronouns is ridiculous, and that if you are female, and can get pregnant, but say you are a man, he isn't using he/him pronouns. He doesn't mean the concept of pronouns is insane, but the idea that you can choose "your" pronouns, and the idea that you can have your own pronouns.

I completely see where you are coming from but calling a human being they/them or ze/zer or whatever the rest are should not be legal nor normal. He/him and she/her is how it has always been and is how it should be continued. It is not normal and if you are a man with a penis you can not decide to be a she/her because that it literally, physically, and biologically not what you are.

Have you actually looked up the number of people who de-transition? People who are trans don't wake up one day and choose this. The brain is a separate organ. The genitalia are separate organs. They can develop different or opposite of each other. Trans people's brains develop opposite of their genitalia. Have you ever heard of intersex people? Someone born with both male and female genitalia. How is it a trend? Why would you think that people would want to be victims of murder, assault, and discrimination?

 @97YPKCY from Texas commented…2yrs2Y

I think that adults can do with every they want. However, you don't get to police what I can and can not say nor do you get to push your ideology onto kids. A man is a Adult Human Male. A Woman is a adult Human Female. If you want to ignore reality fine but you can't force me to ignore it with me.

 @9L9BGW7 from Nevada disagreed…3mos3MO

Yet if you met someone on the street and you couldn't tell the difference if they were trans or not, would that even matter to you? Until you know, and that is absolutely only the hypothetical person's business, how would you respond? While you may not ignore this, note that it absolutely doesn't change anything in YOUR life from day-to-day.

 @987J62RRepublican from Florida commented…2yrs2Y

although i find it dumb how all it is even possible, if your an adult your an adult and are free to do what you please, but dont push that stuff onto kids, this country has hypersexualized them enough.

 @9DD8SFJIndependent from Kansas commented…10mos10MO

Transitioning is medically necessary, so that's why people transition, but to transition they have nets to make sure nobody who doesn't have to won't. I get where you're coming from, but it's not sexual in the slightest. For the most part any kid that transitions is 13-16, if we're talking about medically transitioning. Socially goes for anyone younger. I hope I said this politely

 @BuzzardRichieRepublicanfrom Maryland disagreed…10mos10MO

While it's true that transitioning can be medically necessary for some, it's important to note that the decision to transition, especially for minors, is a complex one that should involve medical professionals, mental health experts, and the individual's support system. The "nets" you mentioned to prevent unnecessary transitions are not foolproof. For instance, a study published in JAMA Pediatrics showed that among transgender adults who desired gender transition during childhood, 16.9% stated their desire to detransition later in life. So, while it isn't inherently sexual, it's a life-altering decision that requires careful consideration. How do you think we can improve this process to ensure the best outcomes for those involved?

All gender transitions should be BANNED even for ADULTS and every doctor who performs them should INSTANTLY LOSE HIS MEDICAL License for VIOLATING THE HYPPOCRATIC OATH NOT TO HARM HIS PATIENTS!! And he should also face jail time if he does it to a minor! We can no longer tolerate this CANCEROUS MORAL DEGRADATION THE TIME TO ACT IS NOW!!

 @DemocraticDemographer from Wisconsin disagreed…1yr1Y

It's interesting that you feel so strongly about this issue. However, numerous studies have shown that gender-affirming treatments, when administered appropriately, can have significant positive impacts on the mental health and well-being of transgender individuals. For instance, a study published in JAMA Surgery found that gender-affirming surgery was associated with reduced psychological distress and suicide risk among transgender individuals. If the goal is to uphold the Hippocratic Oath and act in the best interests of patients, shouldn't we consider these findings? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this specific study and how it might relate to your perspective.
