Judge calls DeSantis ban on transgender care unconstitutional

[Pommer]

No. Gender does not exist.

Neither does money, (nor time, for that matter), but we use both, extensively, as if they did.

 

[Pommer]

For reference, nere’s a link to the law that was struck down. You’re welcome.

 

[Laodicean60]

Professional medical societies disagree. Your 'second opinion' carries no weight.

Because it's a money-making gig. I'm sure there are tremendous costs for the surgeries and the pharmaceuticals need to change someone's biology.

No, those things exist. Gender does not.

 

[Pommer]

No, those things exist. Gender does not.

Money is an idea that we use but there is no intrinsic value to the paper notes that we hand back-and-forth to one another.

I think you are confusing gender with gender roles. Gender roles exist - but gender does not.

 

[Hank77]

Gender and sex are not the same thing - so I'm told.

Are intersex surgeries necessary?

 

[Belk]

I think you are confusing gender with gender roles. Gender roles exist - but gender does not.

If gender does not exist then we can drop it and just say "roles exist". If we need a modifier to talk about specific roles and gender is that modifier then it seems it exists.

 

[Zaha Torte]

Are intersex surgeries necessary?

Yes - and you don't want to pull this thread. It doesn't help you case.

No, that does not make sense - because engendered things have always existed - such as words and roles.

It is people that have no "gender" - which is why the phony concept of "gender" invented in the 50's does not actually exist.

 

[Belk]

No, that does not make sense - because engendered things have always existed - such as words and roles.

So gender exists.

It is people that have no "gender" - which is why the phony concept of "gender" invented in the 50's does not actually exist.

I have no gender? Contrary to all belief I am not, in point of fact, masculine?

 

[Zaha Torte]

So gender exists.

No - not as described by the "gender" activists.

I have no gender? Contrary to all belief I am not, in point of fact, masculine?

Masculinity refers to qualities associated with men and boys.

A woman who displays more masculine qualities does not have a "masculine gender".

 

[Belk]

No - not as described by the "gender" activists.

Very well. Tell me how it is described by '"gender" activists' and why you feel it is incorrect

Masculinity refers to qualities associated with men and boys.

A woman who displays more masculine qualities does not have a "masculine gender".

So masculinity does not denote gender roles?

 

[BCP1928]

No - not as described by the "gender" activists.

Masculinity refers to qualities associated with men and boys.

A woman who displays more masculine qualities does not have a "masculine gender".

But she may well function better in society if she lives as a man and there is no good reason not to let her.

 

[Hank77]

"Sex-reassignment" surgery or any "gender-affirming" procedures are never "medically appropriate" - even for adults.

Are intersex surgeries necessary?

This is a perfectly responsable question to what you wrote above.

Yes - and you don't want to pull this thread. It doesn't help you case.

Your answer of "Yes" is also a reasonable answer.

However, I don't understand the rest of what appears to me to be a snarky answer. Why? And just what do you think my "Case" is?

 

[RileyG]

There is no push to perform it on children. This is literally a boogeyman invented to get people who don’t know any better upset.

Oh really? What about Jazz (Jared) Jennings? They got their penis cut off when they were 17.

 

[RileyG]

But she may well function better in society if she lives as a man and there is no good reason not to let her.

A woman literally can’t live as a man because they’re women and don’t know what it’s like to be men. Just because they are tomboys or more masculine means they should suddenly live as men.

With all due respect, I’m scratching my head on this one.

 

[RileyG]

Gender and sex are not the same thing - so I'm told.

Biology and chromosomes says they are

 

[RileyG]

Texas. Title is hyperbole, but subject matter is related.

Texas has outlawed circumcision!!

TEXAS LAW PROHIBITS CIRCUMCISION! PEDIATRICIANS MUST REPORT PARENTS REQUESTING CIRCUMCISION TO CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES TO BE INVESTIGATED FOR CHILD ABUSE! PARENTS MUST REPORT PHYSICIANS WHO SUGGEST OR PERFORM CIRCUMCISION! FAILING TO REPORT CHILD...

Ohhhh this is wild. What about Jews and Muslims that consider it a religious rite? Plus, doesn’t it help prevent infections? I know it was the norm for western male babies until relatively recently.

The young lady in the video I posted was 15 when she had a double mastectomy. She's very unhappy about it.
