How gender medicine set itself up for disaster

At a closed-door meeting in 2021, ACLU attorney Chase Strangio declared, "If we take away these health care options, kids are going to die." The scrappy litigator uttered this dire proclamation in an address at the biennial conference of USPATH, the US branch of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, or WPATH. Strangio has played a pivotal role in the transgender movement's general refusal to offer concessions on the chief principles animating its cause. Most central, and controversial, has been the demand that minors identifying as transgender have access to gender-transition treatments, including puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries. Speaking to USPATH, Strangio entreated attendees to infuse legal and political advocacy into their work as doctors and mental-health providers. This battle cry was tempered with a foreboding vision

Given that Donald Trump is setting the stage for another coup in a few months, I find these sorts of discussions trivial. You are offensive because you are shallow.

In this next coup, unless we are all incredibly blessed, a lot more than five people will die.

Hey, one or two of them might be transgender. That should make you happy.

Why do right-wingers hate transgender people?

What have these people done to be so hated and persecuted?

Whatever happened to the American concept of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?

Canada has it.

Ottawa is helping transgender people with life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

People like BELL fancy themselves post-American. There's a new age out there somewhere, and by God they are going to wade through their own emotional filth to find it at the expense of as many people as they can.

As for school shooters, it's the number of kills that measures success.

All of a sudden the sex-obsessed rightwing is, "Oh, the children."

What percentage of American children and families is affected by this issue?

Want to care about something? Get off the BoazLola kick and do poverty, war, education, environment, and preventive health for all Americans.

"Transgender" or "two-spirit persons" have been around a lot longer than US liberals have. Or the US for that matter. Or Christianity.

Two-spirit persons appear in cultures that white Europeans/Americans have tried to demolish for centuries.

America would be a better place if everyone regardless of party was involved in lifting people up regardless of who they are, rather than demeaning them for what they are.

According to the drudge.com stats page when you click BELLRINGER, the name of this offender appears to be Tim Marcio.

Why is this hatemonger referred to as "Jeff?"

He used the screen name JeffJ before he was banned for denying global warming.

As these misanthropes do, he came back with a new name.

He used to talk about a few things like a normal person does -- his family, his hobbies, especially smoking meat.

Now he only ever talks about how great life is in the Trump Cult.

It's a sad, self inflicted, slow motion suicide that we all get to watch.

Hi Snoofy:

So, his handle was "JeffJ" but his real name is Tim Marcio.

As you could see, all of this mishegoss transpired B.C.E.

Not a single on topic comment. I know none of you read the article. It's very long and is about the trans medical profession not transgenderism itself.

And of course, Zed immediately talks about Trump because it's a singular term session for him.

I'm a borderline Hall of Fame troll, Alexandrite. I easily elicit multiple responses with a single post. And it doesn't take any effort.

Made it to third paragraph, second sentence

"Today, bans of gender-transition interventions for minors blanket more than half of US states."

Not gender TRANSITION- Gender AFFIRMING

Not interventions- HEALTH CARE

When you have to lie to make an argument you lose

How come a transgender minor cannot receive the EXACT SAME HEALTHCARE as a cis-gender individual?

"Why do right-wingers hate transgender people?"

Without a group of people to hate, they can't feel good about themselves.

Morality is a zero sum game for them. There must always be an Evil force threatening is all with Impending Doom. They don't have any other way of understanding the world we live in.

You think maybe JeffyBelle is secretly trans?

Not that there's anything wrong with that!

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?

How can you say to your brother, Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?

You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye." - JC speaking in Matt 7, 1

Just a troll. Trans, guns, Jeebus... works every time.

No. I think he hates himself for not having the courage to be trans. So he attacks trans people every time he thinks about it. Which is all the time, as we see here.

Secretly?
He's openly sexually aroused by trans women.
He just doesn't realize it.

No jeff is a lying piece of shit troll. He posts trans threads because he is a piece of shit troll. He lacks basic human decency because he is a piece of shit troll

No further analysis need be done.

I can always tell when my insults hit home with jeff, because he tries to respond with something reminiscent of what I say about him.

Pathetic actually
