Would you agree that those who say otherwise are "science deniers?" I've heard from the political Left that to be a "science denier" is really a bad thing. ;)

I am not stooping to name calling, but males are men and females are women and biological science is extremely clear on this issue.

You know, I never knew anything about the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps before. I had to look it up.

United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps - Wikipedia

Very interesting. So they're modeled after the Navy/Coast Guard. And the Surgeon General is actually a vice admiral. Huh. Well, congratulations to Levine on getting that fourth star.

It's the U.S. Public Health Services Commissioned Corps. Not an actual branch, or affiliated to a branch of the military to my knowledge. For whatever reason, the government feels the need to give them ranks.

It might be a way of control, because the President is the Commander and Chief.

It wasn't for want of an insulting term that I asked that question. I was asking about the meaning of the term--which, yes, is often used in a smug fashion. We often hear liberals say that the great unwashed masses, i. e. the rest of society, are science deniers for not agreeing to Global Warming or some of their other pet projects.

In reality, the shoe seems to be on the other foot as when traditionalists are called by that term for knowing that DNA doesn't change, no matter what clothing and hair styles the person adopts, and, also, that "My body, My decision" sounds good, but the unborn child is a different person. All of that is just science.

Your gonna be waiting awhile.
Probably. Just goes to show how desperate the right is, that their best shot at criticising the current administration is that they dont like one of the people being employed, and they cant even tell you what that person has done wrong, only that they disagree with the persons general existence.

That sounds rather haughty and superior. Even dismissive. And that would be discriminatory. Which in turn would be racist (which is a term that no longer has any necessary connection to race. It's just bad.).

:smarty:
Asking for compassion might not be haughty, but it sure is superior to what some people in this thread are doing.

If you imagine that this is the only foul-up or disastrous mistake made by Joe Biden, you not only have not read the list of failures that moderates of both parties--as well as conservatives--have referred to numerous times.

Even the usually liberal news services have begun criticizing him for his failures, and the majority of the American people are now saying that he is incompetent.

I don't know what you are referring to with that last part about what some people are doing, but asking for compassion is never haughty. What had been said by another poster in the rest of the sentence in question sounded that note, however.

The fact that he has a severe mental disorder is reason enough that he shouldn't be practicing any form of medicine at the present time.
I had no idea you were a mental health professional and that you could evaluate a patient’s mental fitness without having ever met with them. That’s an incredible ability you have there.

I dont think so. I dont see how having gender disphoria impacts her ability to make the decisions neccessary for the job. I would love to see any actual faults on her part.
Well, he doesn’t understand basic biology. That’s a start.

Why not? The dress wearing part seemed to be such an important distinction that you brought up but somehow gender specific clothing doesn’t seem to matter to you in other situations. That’s called a double standard, I believe. You’re not applying the same rule evenly to every similar situation.
