  1. Scott would be fun. It would be a good chance to see the tolerant and inclusive left show what they are made of. It wouldn’t be pretty, that’s for damn sure.
  2. I didn’t ignore it. I stated that it would be better to treat these people prior to irreversibly changing their bodies rather than after. There’s no getting around the fact that attempted suicide rates are much higher post-surgery. From your “only 1% regret transitioning” article that you obviously did not bother to digest: The issue here is that neither of these extremes are reliable estimates of regret. The 30 percent figure obviously does not map onto regret. Many people stop using their parent or partner’s health care for reasons completely unrelated to transition regret (i.e., divorce). And the studies of surgery in the review are mostly surgeons following up with their own patients, with quite high dropout rates. It’s not surprising that only 1 percent of people report to a surgeon who did an operation that they regret it! There’s also a problem here about how we define “regret.” One of the biggest studies on transition-related regret was on the Amsterdam gender clinic, including nearly 7,000 people over 43 years. These authors defined “regret” as a patient who came back to the clinic after surgery to access hormones that would reverse their gender transition (and who had this noted in their records). By this definition, less than 1 percent of people regretted their surgery. But this is obviously not a particularly useful definition, because it will miss all of the people who regretted their procedures but went elsewhere for their follow-up care, or simply never got back to the original clinic about their regret. Perhaps the most useful way to examine regret is to look at the proportion of people who cease their transition and go back to the gender they were originally. A large national study found that 13.1 percent of transgender people participating in the U.S. Transgender Survey reported detransitioning at some point in their lives. I think that’s a fairly reasonable estimate of the rate of people experiencing somemeasure of regret around their transition experience.
  3. Yet teens are 12x more likely to attempt suicide after irreversibly changing their bodies. You are absolutely free to champion that.
  4. Of his many qualities, President Brandon is also modest to a fault. He refuses to show his incredible strength, forcefulness, and decisiveness on the public stage. That would be showing off. Best to keep it all behind the curtain.
  5. Maybe L Ron can weigh in on if Biden was lying here or just making things up. I have a hard time differentiating.
  6. Some you win (not you necessarily), some you lose.
  7. Perhaps pre-transition care would be more suitable. Lobotomies used to be en vogue for mental illness. Now it’s chopping off body parts. Sad.
  8. Maybe we will finally learn if you and billsy are correct with your beliefs the laptop was tampered with. How exciting! https://www.cbsnews.com/news/hunter-biden-laptop-data-analysis/ Data from a laptop that the lawyer for a Delaware computer repair shop owner says was left by Hunter Biden in 2019 – and which the shop owner later provided to the FBI under subpoena – shows no evidence of tampering or fabrication, according to an independent review commissioned by CBS News.
  9. Do you think this will be discussed in court over the next few days? Seems like it could be important.
  10. If the DJIA was at 31200 at the end of the Orange Presidency and it is now at 38800 how, exactly, has it doubled?
  11. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11063965/ Everyone is opposed to teen suicide. Yet you are “pro-trans” as you recently indicated. A juxtaposition for sure.
  12. Even LGBTQ2SIA+ people are offended by the gayness of this post.
  13. It’s clear that he won’t answer but there’s really no harm in bringing it up on occasion. Or bringing it up regularly for that matter!
  14. 4/21/21 - the date vaccine was opened to anyone over age 16. Even those 16 yo’s that weren’t sickly fatties. No one is saying that you shouldn’t keep defending Biden with the “it wasn’t widely available until summer” routine if it somehow works for you. Seems a little weird though.
  15. So what you are saying is that it wasn’t widely available until summer? Who knew 200 million by April, with an unknown quantity ready to go didn’t qualify as widely available? It was probably considered rare even!
  16. So 200 million in April was only enough to cover those contingencies? Sure, bro.
  17. You stated it wasn’t widely available until summer and now you say it depends. The cute old man stated 200 million doses were administered by mid-April. How many doses had been manufactured and awaiting a willing arm on that date? Bottom line, bro - your earlier claim is crap.
  18. To get back to the matter at hand - do you believe 200 million doses of vaccine in April, whether it went to a number less than 200 million people or not, was truly “not widely available until summer” as you stated earlier? Bro, please!
  19. Are you and your team sticking with the natural origin story? It’s ok to say so.
  20. Aren’t you a little long in the tooth to be going with “bro”? Maybe I have that wrong but assumed you to be a geezer when you were opining that Megyn Kelly is not dowdy enough for your tastes.
