  • 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.

Non-binary means that a person is so confused that they dont even know if they have a penis or a vagina.
Why do you opine when you do not understand?

IMO, it is an egotistical point of view to believe you understand a man you have never met better than his own mother and father.
Do you have kids?

Parents don't always understand their children well.

Funny. I can GUARANTEE that I understand my wife FAR better than her father ever did.

You think that being a parent automatically imbibes you full knowledge and understanding of your children?
Incorrect.

ESPECIALLY if you think that empathy is a problematic.

Sometimes they do actually.
So? On those rare occasions, let the doctors decide. Until then, a child's biological sex/gender can be assigned at birth. Heck, it can be known before birth with an ultrasound.

I understand more about reality that a non-binary person. At least I know what men and women are and how to define them.

And what about when those doctors get it wrong? Because for those intersexed kids, they sometimes do.

Oh I bet. Going back on topic, I am sure Robinson's gay lover knew more about him and his hard leftist ideological tendencies and motivations than his parents. Why? Because Robinson kept them hidden from them.

DNA tests are pretty accurate dont you think? Kinda hard to get it wrong. But again, on those rare occasions, the doctor will make the decision based on a medical diagnosis, not because how the child was feeling that day. Now, back to reality.

No. It is not.. Thanks for showing another aspect of the debate you are unfamiliar with

Most of these on the surface provide any clear indication of gender (some do....but it is not as "simple" as that)...to say nothing of the other DOZENS of internal physical sex markers or other types of intersex that exist that are not necessarily chromosomal.

Isn't it interesting that we assign an intersex kid at birth and sometimes they still manage to "feel" a certain gender; even if it's the one they weren't "assigned".

Because the government is a provider of health insurance to a lot of people and lots of cosmetic corrective procedures are covered by insurance.

Gender surgery isnt one of them. You cant fix a mental health issue with cosmetic surgery.
What about cleft palate correction? That’s cosmetic, too.

What abiut what about what about. Are you going to start what about every possible cosmetic surgery and determine if its necessary and why? Not going to participate in that. You dont fix mental illness with cosmetic surgery.
The only reason they didn’t have the chance to kill anybody is because some doors were barricaded and once they were breached and the woman at the vanguard took a bullet, the rest got the hint.
So you say. What YOU think might have happened is irrelevant. It didn't.

I mean, let's pretend doctors didn't know what to do and they came to you for answers....
We don't need to pretend. They don't know what to do. Thats why they turned to WPATH for answers and now we know what a corrupt and fake organization that is. We have research done now by plenty of countries who have shown it's not effective in solving the problems. And there is NO research that proves it is.

They need mental health care to work through the issues and cope with the problems that come with the condition, providing they are REALLY trans and not suffering from other problems or trauma that has led them down the trans pathway. They may just be autogynaphelia.

Can you not follow your own argument to its logical conclusion?

You're the one complaining about the government paying for cosmetic surgery. As an insurer, the government either pays for all cosmetic surgeries; it pays for none of them; or it pays for some of them. Which is it? You obviously don't want it to pay for all of them. What I'm trying to determine is whether you think it should pay for some or none. If it's none, then okay, end of discussion. But if it's some, then what are the criteria for determining which ones get covered and which ones don't?

Oh look, look at that, here we are, examining "every possible cosmetic surgery and determin[ing] if its necessary and why"

You dont fix mental illness with cosmetic surgery.
Thank you for your expert medical opinion.

IT's 100% possible yes. But it's also possible he just hid a certain part of it from them.
