  • 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.

You have misspoken. If gender is all that was at issue, there would have been no need for sex change operations. But yet sex change operations was promised as the cure for transgenderism. That’s because gender is considered linked to the sex your body presents. Sorry to burst your bubble.
What is it like to know that there are people who suffer from a condition that has good outcomes from treatments that you would like to have banned?

It seems the individual patients, and their doctors, disagree with your medical assessment here. Maybe, just maybe, they know their specific needs and the best medical course of treatment better than you do.

But yet sex change operations was promised as the cure for transgenderism. That’s because gender is considered linked to the sex your body presents. Sorry to burst your bubble.
Yes, gender and sex are linked. But that doesn't mean they're the same thing. And the scientific consensus in all related scientific fields, from biology to sociology to psychology and medicine, etc. agree. No bubbles here, burst or otherwise.

A new study claims internet searches for "vitamin A" measles peaked in March 2025 — around the same time Robert F. Kennedy Jr. promoted the nutrient

Remember boys and girls, this is the guy running our current health department:

"COVID-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese."
