So you think it's okay that he wasted a bundle of taxpayer money on what amounted to a "prank" as understood by a sociopath?
If DeSantis wins
- Thread starter CastletonSnob
- Start date
And Florida is forcibly detransitioning trans teens already on hormones and puberty blockers, because bureaucrats know more than doctors
But if they're not a monolith and "hispanics" is not a real thing, why should they feel solidarity? Why have that expectation in the first place? I think just expecting them to have solidarity is in itself racist and it leads to them failing to meet this expectation and being seen as some sort of traitor to "their people" which is even more racist.
And yes, they most likely vote this way to pay less in taxes and more fundamentally to preserve the economic system they think they are thriving due to, not because of hatred.
Never said any of that. You make shit up dude.
Probably. Though if any of them cheered on the Martha's Vineyard stunt, then yeah, they probably have some issues with other brown people.
yeah. This is absolute nonsense trash. This combined with your anti-grain shit I can probably tell WHICH fitness influencers you're getting your info from. And you should stop it.
If our criteria for people (ALL people) getting surgeries covered is that it's medically necessary, then why is some other group getting special treatment? It's not about denying people things, it's about staying consistent in the rules. if something like LASIK was covered, then trans stuff should be covered because that's staying consistent in the rules. The way things are now, surgeries have to be medically necessary to be covered by insurance, that's just the way it is.
Your argument was literally we've eaten sugar before and it wasn't poison. We've eaten fat before and it wasn't poison so why would you think fat is poison? That's what the official health associations have been saying for 50+ years.
The plane was a political stunt, what does that have to do with trans people?
If you would've read the article, the judge dismissed the voter fraud case because the prosecutor didn't have jurisdiction vs them actually being wrong. Whereas the vaccine mandate cases are the judges saying there's no proof that the mandates will do anything. Funny how when something like these vaccine mandates have to win in a forum that requires like, you know, evidence and logic and all that, they always fail to prove their case.
I don't participate in social media. You guys are constantly posting stuff from social media figures. When have I ever posted any info from like Twitter or anything? You can literally look up everything I've said with regards to nutrition, it will all check out. I even know stuff like you're arteries technically don't ever get clogged, it's the walls that expand from cholesterol fixing holes caused by inflammation. And guess what causes inflammation?
And that is more money wasted than other politicians who also waste money on political agendas?
Other more progressive countries have reached the same conclusions based on, you know, actual science. You don't mess with kids until you know something is safe, that's so very basic.
Have you actually looked into why breakfast became a thing? It's because workers would have to work so long and continuous that they needed to eat before work to actually eat enough food for the day. There's no reason to break your fast (hence why it's called breakfast) until you're actually hungry. Breaking your fast just to fill in some meal you're told you must eat literally makes no nutritional sense. Ideally, you only want to eat food during like a 4 hour or so window so doing lunch and an early dinner is very doable for social purposes (eating with others and such). So you can do breakfast if your eating window for the day is breakfast-lunch (and skip dinner) but that doesn't fit in socially nearly as much, the 3 meal standard is not at all aligned with any nutritional science. It's really just a bunch of common sense and following what your body is telling you. I recently switched to doing early dinners because I noticed when I got home from work I was hungry and wanted to snack so a month or so back I just did dinner at that time instead and basically cut out that snack of extra food I really didn't need at all. And then before, it would be like 8-9pm and I would like force myself to eat dinner as I wasn't really even hungry because having a snack when I got home. It's not really hard, it's just paying attention mainly. You're acting like I'm saying the earth is flat or something.

That's a yes, you do think that was a worthwhile use of taxpayer money.
For future reference, whenever I ask you a yes or no question like that, any response you give that is not an unequivocal "NO" will be taken as a "YES."
Horseshit. All your info comes from youtubers. You've just somehow convinced yourself that once a source is linked in a tweet it becomes less reliable than "shit that a knob with a camera said for money".
I have looked it up when I was studying sports nutrition.
So, they *are* medically necessary, and the idea that trans people are getting special treatment is fucking hilarious

Answers to common questions about getting coverage for transition-related health care.

A) I will not argue in defense of an opinion you've hallucinated for me or on behalf of arguments you've hallucinated for other people
Just gauging how many people it has to effect to upgrade from harmful stunt to an actually bad thing
Pick a country you claim has done that, then send me a $20 eshop card when I point out they still allow trans medical care to minors
Side note, why are you trusting politicians who don't know jack shit about a person's individual circumstances over their personal doctor who's already prescribed them the medication they are already on? Big fan of the government forcing medical decisions on people all of a sudden?
No proof for that I see. You think I'm trying to defend like DeSantis or whoever? I'm not hand waving that plane stunt as not being a bad thing, but overall, how is DeSantis any worse than the average governor (that requires a whole thread about what do we do if DeSantis wins)? Because if you just wanna point out this guy is bad because he did this bad shit; well, your guy did equally bad shit so what's the difference? Why do you guys only feel the need to point out republican bad stuff but not democratic bad stuff?
Yes because a doctor/scientist/professional whatever going over something thoroughly and with nuance is the same as a whatever-character limit tweet commenting on some article? If you put videos of a professor teaching class on Youtube, was what he taught valid before it goes on Youtube and becomes invalid afterward? The reason Twiiter is such garbage because how the character limit removes nuance and most tweets about an article boil it down to something it's really not and when you actually read the thing, you see the tweeter's comment is basically misinformation on what that article actually said. And it seems like nobody around here actually reads the articles. Youtube can be used as a great teaching method (obviously not always or even mostly but it can) whereas Twiiter is never a good teaching method.
Looked up what?
OMG, you just wanna believe what you wanna at this point. Why are you linking to some FAQ page? Give me some actual data saying such. We don't even have a preponderance of evidence saying surgeries even help more than other treatments yet alone they help so much that they are medically necessary. The FAQ included a court case that had nothing to do with surgery in it's "can gender-affirming surgery and/or hormone therapy be considered 'medically necessary'" section.So, they *are* medically necessary, and the idea that trans people are getting special treatment is fucking hilarious

That's literally the argument you made...

Fucking hell, they still think that Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria study is a useful thing, when it's a study about trans people that asks trans people zero questions and is just a survey about when parents first noticed their kid was trans)

I could not invent a better example of the "Thinks he's wicked clever, but is he?" behaviour if I tried.
Jesus... You're meant to read the articles! The tweet isn't the source it's just a link to the source. Like... Man? What the fuck?
What you're talking about.
Well I never post tweets. But equally, post studies rather than a youtuber discussing those studies.
Huh?
And I can keep asking for data all day too. I don't care what anyone says without the data and logic to back it up.I can keep quoting medical organizations all day long.What the Science on Gender-Affirming Care for Transgender Kids Really Shows

I said sugar is poison, you said staple foods we've eaten for a long time aren't poison (paraphrase). I assume you're commenting on the sugar part not the bread/grain part since I didn't say they were poison (just that they were bad to eat constantly like the food pyramid said). Then why would fat be basically poison as the major health organizations have been saying for over 50 years? That's my point because if you wanna go by that logic, then why are you giving these official health organizations all this credence?
Access to hormonal interventions for youth <18 will be tightly restricted. The goal is to administer these interventions in research settings only
How is that not banned? Youth can only get hormones if they are like in a study or something since it's only for research purposes. If Florida did exactly what Sweden did, you'd still be all over them. Doing stuff to kids that we don't know the whole picture is not good. I couldn't care less what an adult does because they are an adult and can do what they want. I only ever posted one link from that site (it popped on the first page of Google results) and the link itself was completely accurate in what they reported on.
How is their take on the actual science (not the "science") wrong in any way? What bias against trans people do they have?
I didn't think that was clever just super plainly said what I said.
And so many times people here have posted tweets and obviously not read the article, that was my point. And even if you do read the article, the tweet's framing is gonna have you reading the article with a preconceived bias. It's why I waited on looking into the Rittenhouse case until they made the videos publicly available, I didn't want anything clouding my perception on it.
About what specifically because sports nutrition and the nutrition for a normal person will say different things. Like people training and playing sports regularly will want many more carbs than someone who is not.
I didn't realize posting a Youtube video of someone that is literally a professional peer reviewer of said studies is a bad source. How is posting long-form Youtube interviews with Paul Offit a bad source?
The governor of Pennsylvania never did anything morally or ethically equivalent to spending taxpayer money on shipping legal asylum seekers to another state in a cheap anti-immigrant political stunt. You make shit up.
