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.
@IndependentInformantRepublican11mos11MO
I understand the point being made about choosing pronouns and the perceived absurdity of it. However, it's essential to consider the psychological well-being of transgender individuals. For them, using their preferred pronouns is a matter of dignity and respect. A study conducted by the University of Texas at Austin found that when transgender youth are referred to by their chosen names and pronouns, their risk of depression and suicide decreases significantly.
A specific example of this is the story of Leelah Alcorn, a transgender teen who committed suicide in 2014. Leelah struggled… Read more

"Tragic example!" Bull ****! Transgender people need a rude awakening! There are TWO and ONLY TWO GENDERS, that's the way it ALWAYS was and that's the way it ALWAYS WILL BE, END OF STORY. You can cry about it if you want, sure go sob to your mommy -- BUT THAT DOESN'T CHANGE THE TRUTH because FACTS DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS! Transgenderism is a mental health EPIDEMIC that is destroying our country, a dangerous FESTERING CANCER ROTTING THE VERY FOUNDATIONS OF OUR REPUBLIC! THE BLACKEST BLOT IN OUR NATION'S HISTORY! And it MUST BE STOPPED! I will not FALL DOWN AND WORSHIP THE GOLDEN IMAGE OF WOKE IDEOLOGY and I sure as H-ll will not CRUCIFY MY CHILDREN ON A CROSS OF GOVERNMENT DEPENDENCY! The buck STOPS HERE and it STOPS NOW, DEAL WITH IT.

Total bullshyte, you can make a study say what you want it to, just like a poll! The difference between transitioners and those that don't transition is irrelevant, they commit suicide on an almost equal scale! The numbers PROVE it.

It's people like you that make this platform so interesting to read. You sure schooled that Dem!
@9LFGWG52wks2W
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.
@9KQB4662mos2MO
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?

@9GTXMPD6mos6MO
I agree people need to wake up.
@97YPKCY1yr1Y
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.
@9GH5TXR6mos6MO
No one is forcing this into kids.
@9L9BGW73wks3W
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.
@987J62RRepublican1yr1Y
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.
@9DD8SFJIndependent8mos8MO
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
@BuzzardRichieRepublican8mos8MO
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?
@97WWCYWRepublican1yr1Y
I think it up to the choice of the person it nothing like abortion where their choice can kill a intelligent being. So if you wanna be a girl cool I don't care that is up to you to decide to do. You are FREE to be yourself as long as that doesn't get someone killed.
Before twenty weeks, the fetus does not have higher brain functions. The vast majority of abortions happen before twenty weeks. Abortions after twenty weeks happen mostly because there’s an emergency (eg. the mother will die in childbirth otherwise, the fetus is missing a vital organ) or because the person couldn’t have one earlier. Pregnancy ain’t fun. Nobody waits that long to get an abortion if they don’t have to.
@WhatisaWoman?11mos11MO
Can I debate you on the topic of abortion?
@ReasonedCriticGreen11mos11MO
Sure, I'm open to discussing the topic of abortion. I believe that access to safe and legal abortion is a crucial aspect of reproductive rights, as well as gender equality. For example, in countries where abortion is illegal or restricted, we often see higher rates of maternal mortality and unsafe procedures taking place. What are your thoughts on the importance of reproductive rights and gender equality in relation to abortion?
@TruthHurts10111mos11MO
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!!
@DemocraticDemographer11mos11MO
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.
@VulcanMan6 11mos11MO
How do you propose we solve transphobia?
@DemocraticDemographer11mos11MO
Solving transphobia is a complex issue, but let's start by addressing the root cause: ignorance. Implementing comprehensive, fact-based education programs in schools that teach about gender identity and the experiences of transgender individuals would be a useful first step. For example, take the case of Laverne Cox, a successful transgender actress and advocate who faced significant adversity growing up but has gone on to thrive and inspire others. Now, what counter argument or solution do you have for addressing transphobia, considering this specific example?
@Drake20107mos7MO
Transphobia is not an issue, trans people are mentally insane and don't have any idea what they are doing. Its also against the Lord's word. JUST BE A CHRISTIAN.
@TruthHurts10110mos10MO
"Transphobia" is in fact common sense.
@9DD8SFJIndependent8mos8MO
Why is George Washington the image you used? You seem more like Andrew Johnson
@VulcanMan6 10mos10MO
Not surprised you are also transphobic as well, given your admittance to theocracy.
@starlover10mos10MO
It's important to note that labeling "Transphobia" as common sense may not be accurate. Transphobia refers to the fear, discrimination, or negative attitudes towards transgender individuals. In reality, common sense should promote understanding and acceptance of diverse perspectives and identities. A specific example is the increasing number of companies implementing diversity and inclusion initiatives to foster a more accepting and supportive work environment. These initiatives have shown to improve productivity, creativity, and employee satisfaction. I'd be curious to know your thoughts on the benefits of such diversity and inclusion initiatives and how they can contribute to addressing transphobia. Can you provide a counter argument or suggest a different solution?
@carpentrycarlDemocrat11mos11MO
One way to tackle transphobia is through education and awareness campaigns that promote understanding and empathy. For example, sharing personal stories and experiences of transgender individuals can help break down stereotypes and misconceptions. This approach has been effective in reducing homophobia and other forms of discrimination.
Another important aspect is implementing policies that protect transgender individuals from discrimination, both at work and in public spaces. This includes updating anti-discrimination laws to include gender identity and expression, as well as promoting inclusive practices in schools and workplaces.
What do you think about using education and policy changes to address transphobia? Are there any other approaches you would suggest?
@VulcanMan6 11mos11MO
I definitely agree. Transphobia is unfortunately one of the most pressing sociopolitical issues plaguing the US today, and immediate action needs to be taken and implemented to protect trans rights and trans lives.
Educational programs in schools and workplaces to help push against the ignorance fueling anti-trans hate would be a huge step in the right direction, and it's also important that we push back against the increasing number of measures taken against trans rights and acceptance across the nation, as this is a blatant attack on trans existence.
I do think more direct action needs to be taken to combat this rise in transphobic legislation and bigotry.
@9DD8SFJIndependent8mos8MO
Transitioning is medically necessary, to ban it entirely would kill transgender people, and it does not violate any oath. Transitioning, if done appropriately is safe. No need to act mad
