Lionel Shriver on Corinna Cohn & trans children - The Week in 60 Minutes | SpectatorTV 

Many young women, having been surgically and hormonally masculinized, who now identify as "gay men", are all over gay men's dating aps and in gay men's recreational clubs. They are so confused, and hurt when they are not met with acceptance and enthusiasm by the gay men who use these spaces.

all they see is $$ - - billing insurers six figures at a time.... it is unethically gross and unfortunately, it has been normalized

The medical professionals care about the coin, and the parents care about virtue signalling and attention.

Doesn’t ever work for adults either.

@@marysteven6347 medical malpractice lawsuits from adults are the next step.

@pjsb4047 Remember the lobby groups already had the WHO declare being trans not a mental disorder. Medical professionals just chase the coin rather than speak the truth.

Verbally - yes. Prosodically - not so much. In British English, as in many languages, the prosody helps interpretation. American English is EXTREMELY monotone and lacks "melody".

​@@beverly9 Ha, listen and you'll find it's not.

Melody is overrated.@@mademoiselledusfonctionell1609

We absolutely cannot fall into the trap of using their language. This is one of the main (subtle) tactics employed by these monstrous ideologists, in their fake crusade of "care".

There is a group that call themselves that. The Deutsche Demokratische Republik called itself democratic. Most referred to it as "East Germany" - a fairly neutral term. If there is some preferably simple and neutral term to use for kids who call themselves transsexual, I'd be all for it. However, in order to talk about them we have to call them something, and "trans children" seems to be the current term.

Medical evidence says otherwise

What book starts, "They call me Ishmael..."? (P.S. I love the name Ishmael!)

​@kaylakurucz7214 another example of poorly educated Americans.

Political Ponerology: A Science on the Nature of Evil Adjusted for Political Purposes by Andrzej Lobaczewski. “if an individual in a position of political power is a psychopath, he or she can create an epidemic of psychopathology in people who are not, essentially, psychopathic.”

moot

Agreed.

Couldn’t agree more.

Spectrum thing is an unnecessary quibble or distraction from the main point of argument, which stands fine by itself, without descending into medicine like the opposition. You're splitting hairs.

@@robleahy5759 Disagree. The majority of those arguing for sparing children but allowing adults bodmod freedom accept 18 as the child/adult demarcation line. If however they're willing to consider placing mature adulthood's real start later, my point is that they shouldn't choose 21 or even 25. Since autism is possibly the most common trans-identity comorbidity, knowing that autists' minds take longer to mature is important where reasoned decision-making's concerned. But thanks for the tip.

The fact that being dysphoric (which means "uncomfortable") with your body and which sex you are, is a very common experience of puberty. Its insideous that children are led to believe feeling this way is an illness and not an expected symptom of puberty but also of any major biological life change. ie: pregnancy, post natally, and during menopause, for women. Growing teenage boys, and middle age men also often experience dysphoria around their sexed bodies. More severe dysmorphia around sex, is also a common symptom of having experienced sexual abuse and/ or exposure to pornography.

Dr. Moreau, more like.

If you think the Nazis would have supported the LGBT mafia, you should probably look up the list of books they burned. They were primarily concerned with removing the pedo elite from their society. But the pedo elite won that war and lied about the entire thing.

When the kids grow up and realise they've been mutilated I hope they take the physicians responsible to court for compensation and not the state and therefore taxpayers for compensation.

@@garyc7464 Apparently there is a very short time after the surgery when you can go to court against the doctor. About 3 years. Within that time, due to the drugs administered the kids feel ok. It is later when they realize they 've been duped.....

...and I wish I didn't 🤬

sure you do Jan.

Just remember you are using force to arrest my doctor, prevent her from practicing, and forcibly blocking known treatment to be given to those who are suffering especially youth. Force needs to be met with an equal force to combat it. If we lose our appeals, it's on. If you think we will walk away, we will not. We will not run from genocide; we confront it head on. The loss of jobs and careers for people who legislate this should be the least of their concerns.

@AutumnAarilyn I mean the radical lobby groups already had WHO declare being trans not a mental disorder. Which is as illogical as saying addiction is the same as a common cold.

@@DorianPaige00there is no empirical criteria for establishing if a child is “actually” trans. Would you have them all fast tracked onto meds & surgery without this information? 60-80% of kids grow out of gender dysphoria. So how are you going to figure out which ones do and which ones don’t?

@@DiodeMom If there is no empirical data for depression, then will you not treat it? There's standards of care that WPATH set forth with minimum time lines that should not be ignored. If a person wants to be the other gender, a psychologist has to get to the root of it. If it is to escape gender roles, abuse, or trauma, then the patient will be likely unsatisfied with transition and it's not a valid reason for transition because the patient is trying to escape and not live. If a person is stunting their growth so they don't physically get the secondary sex characteristics of their natal sex and want to live in a body as an adult that isn't in line with their natal sex, then they are a prime candidate for transition. However, they need to be in therapy during transition with all appointments kept. Progress needs to be monitored with reassurance that if they want to reverse course, they can. Personally I didn't want the body of a man and this was in the early 90's when I sought help. I was refused 6 times even later in life from psychologists who were not clear whether or not they were even WPATH affiliated. I didn't know that was a question to ask at 14. However, I got what I wanted as anorexia does a damn good job of stunting growth. You just have to stay the same weight for 5 years and you'll stop growing and secondary sex characteristics will be minimized especially to the skeletal structure. Puberty blockers without estrogen for males is a nightmare situation where patient will be 3-6 inches than if male puberty played out. I didn't know that until about 6 months but hey, WE'RE ALL EXPERTS HERE. Go legislate someone else.

@@DorianPaige00 sounds like you needed intensive inpatient therapy for a few years. There’s a huge difference between therapy and meds for depression and meds for transitioning kids- which 98% of the time lead to cross sex hormones and then fast-tracked to surgical mutilation. Don’t know what country you’re in, but in the US kids are being shuttled through the system and having healthy breasts removed as minors. You’re ok with that. What a sick person.

Because of an elite minority we can never mention without having our lives and careers destroyed.

I was hoping for some insight into the food aspect..... but yeah, it's going on in many dimensions of our lives.@@quigglyz

There is an excellent old book called 'Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds' which documents many strange historical fads that came and went. From witch trials to tulip mania to duelling etc etc. People are weird and most are not actually rational individuals at all. Youth in particular are prone to this herd like behaviour and a need to belong. Mods, Rockers, Teddy boys, Hippies, Punks, New Romantics, Goths, Emos and son on. So many of them wanting desperately to belong to a group and also to be seen as individuals. Luckily most of them don't require surgery.

I wonder if endocrine disruptors in the food helping some things along@@Hereford1642

oooh... that s a good one!
