Still MAGA terrorist Zeets?

Ready to admit how stupid you were?

And of course you do nothing but lie as I've said nothing to kill Democrats. I've said to imprison billionaires and media for their crimes in some cases (Maddow) execution would do the world well.

This resistance to flag lowering is one of those silly own goals I can’t stress enough needs to be eliminated by the Democrats going forward. Just let the damn people mourn someone without making your flag a political story.

Flags at half staff are typically reserved for important political figures. I mean I could care less. I'd personally fly it upside down at half staff. That makes a better statement than not flying it at half mast.

On contrary, I have and will describe every teenager as having a punchable face. The unbridled optimism as I suffer through the throes of 50 hour work weeks with two young kids is triggering.

As the father of two teenage girls who are far too attractive for their own good, I find most male faces between the ages of 14 and 50 to be infinitely punchable. Especially the older guys ogling my 14 year old.

I still find this chilling from a civil liberties perspective. There is no good data suggesting a national security risk is presented by the continuance of care for trans adults, and no current medical evidence strongly suggesting this isn’t the best course of care. Why should the federal government be able to tell a consenting adult they cannot get care as prescribed by the doctor? Which medical care should we let the government decide is wrong?

I won’t try to convince you the science is right, but on a practical level, where is the line?

As I said, I don’t think it’s government’s problem to handle, but I wish something would happen to make it better. There don’t seem to be any better indicators of someone with violent mental illness than being transgender at the moment. The percentage who hurt either themselves or others is multiples of the general population, and affirming it doesn’t seem to be making it better.

I looked all of this up months ago when I got frustrated with one of the LLMs not answering my questions about it, but those browser tabs are long gone now.

I’d consider this to be a bit of an oversimplification. While I agree with your general point that there’s a link, and that may be true in terms of what we can see at a bird’s eye view, there are more reliable indicators in the form of behaviors, which is what we should actually be using as indicators for the purposes of treating severe mental illness. While I largely trust your intent here, I don’t trust the entire country to understand the difference between a correlation of gender dysphoria and profound mental illness and direct causation.

A trans person can be profoundly mentally ill in ways that lead to violence, or they can be a sitting member of Congress who by basically any measure is living a healthy and productive life. The same cannot really be said for other forms of the type of mental disorders that typically lead to these kinds of outcomes without effective treatment. Someone with schizophrenia cannot effectively manage their illness without treatment. So if we completely deny gender affirming care as valid treatment, either the public safety threat of gender dysphoria is not as significant as some are making it out to be, or gender affirming care can be an effective treatment for it. Might there be better options? Sure! I don’t want any of these kids to die just because we give up on finding a complete answer, but it *is* working for some if they’re out there living happy and normal lives.

On the contrary, there are always things that can be done. I’m simply urging an approach to that solution that does not see happy, productive members of society sent to asylums because a fraction of a percent of people with traits they share have committed unspeakable acts of violence. I promise you there’s a lot of room left for action even if you take that one option off the table.
