  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

That, plus GOP big government interfering with people's medical treatments. Where will they interfere next?
Mutilating children isn't medical treatment.

Seems off topic - the thread is about big-govrenment GOP trying to interfere with medical treatments. It's right there in the first sentence of the op - "medical care".
Try reading the title. Sex change surgeries are mutilations.

Weird you'd think I didn't read it when I quoted from the post in question. I wonder where that misunderstanding came from. Or if it is just an attempt to avoid addressing what I wrote by making up something about me. Pretty sure the mods here have issues with that sort of thing.

I wonder how much teen suicide will increase because of this action.

"Gender-affirming surgeries were associated with a 42% reduction in psychological distress and a 44% reduction in suicidal ideation when compared with transgender and gender-diverse people who had not had gender-affirming surgery but wanted it, according to the findings. "


Hm... who is the most reliable? Peer reviewed research from Harvard or a 50 second YouTube clip by renowned substance abuser who is currently under sanction from College of Psychologists of Ontario? Who aim to pull his practicing license for his recent unprofessional behaviour for which an Ontario court has recently upheld the regulatory body's order that he undergo social media training or potentially lose his licence to practice.

It's a real puzzler.

Even if that means the suicide rate is higher? Surely lower suicide rates are better?

Seems a bold stance to take to take steps that result in higher rates in suicidality among young people.

What's being said is children have been committing suicide over this for ages, and cosmetically surgically altering them is the only way to save their lives. Which puts bizarre on a whole new level.

Probably in the next harmful medical/surgical procedure prescribed for children the DNC wants done.

Probably far less than when mutilated kids become adults.
Far right big government blanket legislation based on guesses like this sure is better than letting doctors use medical research to guide their decision on a patient by patient basis.
