1. The first was based on a quick google search. I knew the evidence was out there, I was just looking for a link. I had no idea they were a group with an agenda, which is why I even bothered looking a second time. 2. If you want to just disagree for the sake of it, fine, but you can't counter a study with "I don't like it" and then pretend your worldview is completely 100% correct and everyone should follow it. EDIT: And if there's all this counter-evidence, provide it or fuck off. Otherwise your argument is based on nothing but your own vapid sense of self-importance. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

It was some whack job that got a confused patient, misidentified the problem, and then 'cured' it. If you happen to have some kind of cross-examination of the schizo study I'd love to see it, because I have no problem updating my opinions based on new science. I also don't expect to change your mind, nor would I want to, as you're free to believe you are whatever you think. Internet validation isn't going to give you warm fuzzies, but it also won't give you a functional womb. As for your last point, if you want to offer a counter-study that isolates for those conditions feel free to provide one. I've provided evidence and at this point it's not my job to provide a perpetual stream of studies you're just going to ignore. In a real debate, when faced with real evidence, you either debunk it directly, or provide something of equal or greater validity. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

You can believe what you want about yourself, but your existence alone does not overcome evidence simply because you will it. I was referring to studies that show that a mtf brain is objectively not the same as a woman's brain, as well as the study that showed (again, small sample size) that schizophrenia medication completely eliminates a person's desire to transition. I also alluded to the 40% suicide rate, of which there are many studies, and which still stays an order of magnitude above the national average even if only looking at "passing" individuals. As for her lived experiences, her telling me that she is a woman because she says so contradicts the evidence. Her personal experience having a good transition is also not evidence that the 40% suicide rate would go away if we all just "accepted it" and it certainly doesn't turn valid science into flat earth nonsense. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

s0nicfan 08/23/17 5:47:52 PM #238 | Medussa posted... darkjedilink posted...It's literally wrong to say 'boy body, girl brain.' I'll do it for him: https://www.acpeds.org/the-college-speaks/position-statements/gender-dysphoria-in-children This means that at least 72 percent of what accounts for transsexualism in one twin and not in the other occurs after birth and is not biological. Such a high discordance rate among identical twins proves that no one is born pre-determined to have gender dysphoria let alone pre-determined to identify as transgender or transsexual. This is consistent with the dramatic rates of resolution of gender dysphoria documented among children when they are not encouraged to impersonate the opposite sex. The low concordance rate also supports the theory that persistent GD is dues predominantly to the impact of non-shared environmental influences upon certain biologically vulnerable children. To be clear, twin studies alone establish that the “alternative perspective” of an “innate gender identity” arising from prenatally “feminized” or “masculinized” brains trapped in the wrong body is in fact an ideological belief that has no basis in rigorous science. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

I have no problem admitting 0.3% of the population is trans, and that's its a real condition. What I DO dislike is being told it's normal, we should celebrate it, and rather than continue to research treatment methods we should just assume the suicide rate is due entirely to social stigma (even though it doesn't go down in passing individuals) and will "go away" if we all believe hard enough. I'm sick of being told the left is the party of science while at the same time being told by the same people that we should make sweeping changes as a society when the science isn't there. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

But teaching kids that what they are is something they aren't IS a negative. The study doesn't affirm that a mtf kid is a "girl brain in a boy body", but all the reporting on that study implied that was the case. All the study confirms is that a mtf brain is aberrant. I'm not suggesting you teach kids they're a freak or anything, but you don't tell a kid in a wheelchair they're the same as every other kid and then not build any ramps. You tell them that it's okay to be different, because they already know they're different, and then find ways to help them fit into society. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

s0nicfan 08/23/17 5:14:52 PM #28 | Yes, because intent matters. That's why we have manslaughter, second degree murder, and first degree murder. When it comes time to look at punishment, you need to consider whether someone who just committed a crime against someone is likely to do so again, and if the whole basis of the crime was "that person was <race>" then the liklihood is higher. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
