I wonder who first pretended that they suddenly have no idea what racism means. The 700 IQ tactic of pretending to be stupid really has caught on amongst conservatives.
Thank you so much for bringing to light the some of medical issues related to transgender/intersex persons. I don’t think the vast majority of people, let alone Christians, understand any of this. I didn’t understand most of the medical science until recently (still working on it). This post has led me to learn some more this morning (one of the few perks of waking up 2 hours early is having time to quietly read). It’s nice to move away from slogans and partisan positions and have actual facts with which one can inform their conscience. The psychological aspects remain as mystifying as ever (as with those who are gay). Hopefully, bit by bit, researchers will better understand of all the contours of these complex issues.More than 20 percent of trans youth lost access to gender-affirming care under new state laws (msn.com)
This is going to go so well. /s
Roughly 75000 transgender kids lost access to previously provided care. The Trevor project estimated roughly 45% of transgender youth attempted suicide last year. Yes, talk is going to get us out of this.
BTW, I have been working with a family with a transgender child in Utah. For several years, this child has stated they are a boy. By every anatomical study, including ultrasounds and puberty, they are female. They have been ridiculed and criticized. As you can imagine, this child has attempted suicide several times in the past. Just a week ago, they got the results of a whole genome sequence study. Turns out he is XY.
For all the deniers out there, I want you to wrap your brain around that one. An anatomical female with XY chromosomes. This child has a menstraul cycle and has ovaries, in other words, he can get pregnant. I helped analyze the genome and I have a perfectly logical medical explanation by the way. But go ahead and try, I would love to see some people's brain cells explode a little trying to work this one out.
This family got all the sham stupid answers. "Oh, he's watching Tik Tok too much." "His friends are doing it, therefore, he has to as well." "Counseling will fix this" "He will grow out of it" "You guys are woke" "The Bible says otherwise"
I told this child's mom, you are welcome to rub the results of this study in as many faces as you feel it necessary, because this is the exact reason why gender affirming care exists. This child was not, and clearly not, intersex at birth. However, their genetics clearly scream otherwise. Guess what, there are a lot more kids like this than we think. So, how many more kids do we feel like losing before people's minds are changed?
By the way, the crisis is already starting and it isn't even a month out. Medical and mental health professionals have already changed their practices. Insurance companies are also denying coverage for gender affirming health care.

I guess guns are good and should be used for self defense. I wonder who is responsible for most deaths of trans people?Tiresome Tucker is now shocked, SHOCKED that NPR is reporting that queer people are arming themselves so they'll be prepared to defend themselves against his audience. Like we WANT to have to defend ourselves against his deranged fanbase. "NPR says guns are BAD, but they're GOOD for trans people for self-defense", he says, without a hint of self-awareness, while lambasting NPR for not having self-awareness.
You are.I guess guns are good and should be used for self defense. I wonder who is responsible for most deaths of trans people?

Who knew P&N could actually be useful 😉.
You're definitely much braver than I am IMO, speaking at events out where you are, compared to where I am (where you can scarcely even run errands without encountering a few trans people).I am glad I can at least be somewhat useful.It is definitely a rough road for sure. We face decades of various degrees of education. Most of the older generation will have some identification with the discovery of DNA with watson and crick in 1953. Sex chromosomes were discovered in 1905. The human genome project started in 1990 and finished in 2003 with the first human genome sequences performed. We subsequently went from billions of dollars expended on that project alone to getting your genome sequenced for $500 now. In 2008, the "1000 genomes project" was started to initiate tracking of genomes and variants. That finished in 2015, a mere 8 years ago. This explosion of understanding of our genetics has kinda turned our basic understanding of genetics upside down a bit. Most people have not had a chance to catch up.
We have seen an explosion of understanding of gestational and pubertal development, and, really, we are only at the beginning. It used to be we suspected there were millions of genes that made up the human genome. Turns out it is only 20000. We have identified all of the genes, now comes the understanding of how variants and epigenetics work.
I am a physician. I love reading the literature about this. It helps me appreciate and have compassion, not just for LGBTQ, but for developmental delay and autism. we are looking at seizures and heart disease differently. We see potential therapeutic interventions that are designed to help an individual and not just a group. It's amazingly cool.
In the meantime, I have been called a murderer, stupid, slow, a pedophile and threatened. Some of this is because I'm a physician, others because I'm transgender. I promised myself, after a certain patient encounter, I would not sit idle with staying silent. I have spoken at several events now and I will continue to do so.
I’ll lump in non right leaning gun nutters also. All are sorry excuse for human beings for being such selfish pricks to value guns over human lives.Republicans are all jackasses. If you are still a Republican count yourself one
Step 1: Buy wife lots of pantsInteresting. So can I collect $5000 anytime I see a woman wearing pants? Imagine a state dictating fashion styles.
And the list will continue to expand. First they came...If you're a drag queen in Texas you better watch out. You might have a bounty on you if this law passes.

Texas Lawmakers Turn Abortion Bounty Hunter Scheme on Drag Queens
A Texas bill would allow anyone to sue people who perform in drag where minors are present—or sue someone who hosts such a performance—and collect $5,000 in damages plus attorneys fees, whether or not a minor was brought to the performance by their parent or guardian.

Hello. How are you?Bud Light has cans with rainbows and pronouns on them, and the anti-woke snowflake mob is triggered AF. Famed fake redneck Kid Rock gave them some free publicity by shooting up a case of it.
