Not in the least. I produce research that is reproducible and peer reviewed. You produce links to research that is easily taken apart and refuted.

My problem is that you lied about my position regarding the existence of 'god'. The further problem is that you are now trying to evade what you said. Your problem is that you are not taking responsibility for your blatant lie and it destroys your integrity as a poster.

So, back up your claim that, '...After all, you declare, without a single shred of proof, that god does not exist...'

You wouldn't say it unless you had evidence for it would you?

You can clear it all up right now by simply saying you admit that no one can know if gods exist or not. Hence, gods existing is a possiblty.

Say that. And, I'll apologize for being wrong. Refuse to say it, and you owe me an apology because that then proves that what I've said about your stance in those threads was indeed correct.

I do not agree with that statement, but I will take it into consideration and google around a bit. I am under the impression that the research you refer to is flawed and can has been exposed as biased wishful thinking.

I've posted the information many times. It's been reproduced, consistently, since the early 2000's... or the late 1990's.

But wait... is this the crack in the armor that often happens with you after a couple of weeks of you getting pounded in this debate? I've seen this before. It's about time for you to back off. Getting tired, calamity?

No. I just need to look at the critique of those studies again. As I stated repeatedly, the studies you presented have been shown to be either subjective (the self-reported satisfaction rates) or draw conclusions which do not hold up (brain scans which supposedly prove biological roots to trans). But, I'll review the analysis of each again, just to be sure.

I should have time later today. I'm hoping for a slow day.

Prove your claim. You can't because I haven't said that in any exchanges with you. Weasel words and evasion will not change a lie.

All you have to do is restate your position here and now on whether or not you know God exists or not. Simple. That you refuse to say whether gods are possible or not proves me right.

You've done this before: act all indignant when I point out a position you've had in the past. Instead of firmly stating that is not your position and then stating the position you hold in no uncertain terms, you try getting me to comb through a bunch of old threads which is pointless anyway. I have to assume it's your schtick.

As stated in the other thread, studies show promise, but there is nothing conclusive.

Overall the weight of these studies and others points strongly toward a biological basis for gender dysphoria. But given the variety of transgender people and the variation in the brains of men and women generally, it will be a long time, if ever, before a doctor can do a brain scan on a child and say, “Yes, this child is trans.”

No, all you have to do is prove your assertion and stop trying to evade the lie like a liar.

One more evasion should seal the deal that you are a proven liar. Here is your assertion, now back it up...

'...After all, you declare, without a single shred of proof, that god does not exist...'
