Gender Expert: Teens Are Trying to Be Transgender Because It’s Trendy

I'm not sure you understand my reasoning on either issue. The EPA for example mandates solutions to problems they decide exist to business in every single regulation they turn out. They will not just use regulations however for valid concerns, but also use regulations to push political goals, like for example, pushing regulations that are purposely too costly for industry to afford to incentivize them towards technologies the EPA agrees with. A recent example of this was stopped by an EO by Trump that was designed to push car companies to electronic cars by making producing and selling fuel powered cars too expensive. This kind of behavior I consider a violation of human rights and an abuse of government power.

Furthermore, I do not believe the commerce clause was designed to control economic behavior of private individuals, but was instead designed to stop states from blocking trade from other states. Therefore, I believe that EPA is unconstitutional and should be done away with. There is also the matter that I believe regulations are in fact laws, and since the EPA is not congress they do not have the constitutional authority to make law.

SMH. We have those agencies to protect people from greed, misrepresentations, fraud, illegal dumping, tainted food, quackery, etc. Are they perfect? No, but that is how functioning governments work. They give it their best shot to protect the greatest number of people from things like selling old meat or dumping mercury into a river.

One reason Libertarian philosophy is dumb is actually what you are discovering at the bar. No one will protect you from being hustled.

We can have a functioning government and not have an overbearing government.

I will. :shrug: If I know the dude is a dude and I think you don't know you can safely put money on me outing the individual to safe you from their deception. Also, bars are terrible places in general. Meeting people at bars is just asking for bull****. The bar being a terrible place to meet people has a been a fact of life well before the trans treatment issue.

Sure. The only question is where to draw the line.

As is your right.

Not if you're looking for someone who likes to drink and live on the wild side.
 
Funny how everything that was once considered a fetish is now considered a gender.

I was unaware that knife play and hot wax play were now genders.

I think that they all come under the bracket of 'used to be considered icky and, I can't believe that people now just openly talk about this stuff like it's just human nature or something!'.

We got over the gay thing and we've all got gay friends and relatives now. Once we're over the trans thing they'll find some other artificial barrier to set up around some other consenting human activity, it's what they do.
 
Ethics you could argue is subjective, but since you have provided no case to support your beliefs, I will stick with mine for now.

I have shown exactly why the procedures we are discussing are entirely ethical. You can certainly believe what you want, but it has no bearing on what actually IS ethical from a medical standpoint.
 
Again, the research says no such thing. I'm not going to repeat myself on why that is the case.

Again, the research conclusively says exactly what I claim... and I have posted the research that shows it. You have nothing to repeat since you've never once supported your position with anything legitimate.
 
Never suggested there isn't other factors, but only suggested that personal gain is a rather large motivation and a key motivation in economic growth and societal prosperity.

No, you've been pretty clear about economic gain being the factor in this issue. But, now if you are backing off, you STILL can't prove your position. Perhaps it is true for you, but you cannot prove that it is true for others.
 
I have altered no definitions. They still have the condition and the effects are present in the patient, so again, all that changed is their feelings towards themselves in terms of happiness.

Of course you have altered the definition. It's what you do. The condition is no longer present. GDD is resolved and it's effects are gone. Disorder cured.
 
You should learn biology. The majority of the body developed as it should have except the brain, which developed to be comparable to the opposite sexes brain due to hormonal imbalance in the womb. Again, claiming body parts like the penis or vagina are biologically wrong when the problem is the brain is biologically false.

Incorrect. As often you do with your black and white thinking, you ignore context. The body parts are biologically wrong in the context of the brain's biology.
 
When you are being deceived you can be doing everything right in terms of your own responsibilities. You would think that would be obvious.

Being deceived is your perception and your behavior in light of that perception is your responsibility and not a given. You consistently have difficulty taking responsibility for your behaviors.
