    More like the people who can't support themselves in life and keep having children they raise on welfare

    but this discussion is not about welfare it is about people who know nothing about medical science hamstringing medical practitioners with unnecessary legislation

    You already know that I have zero respect for so-called medical professionals who encourage confused children to seek the so-called gender transformation.

    These children need counseling and therapy to come to terms with the facts about reality and what they are...... Not what they think they are and wish they are.

    If you can become a different gender then why can't you just become a different race or a different species?

    It isn't really about grooming. It is about denying you a way to escape politics. this is why woke stupidity has infected everything. it's why ESPN and football things that aren't political at all were taken over by the taliwokeban. It is about denying you peace. You must boycott all of us must it is the only hope to force these businesses to abandon this trash. It is working. the NFL abandoned it in the wake of their clown show. Disney is dying because they can't make anything good.

    “Gender affirming care” does include counselling :roll: it is done by a team not an individual. What you do not seem to understand is how incredibly complex sex determination is.
    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5866176/

    1.7% of the population have one or more abnormal sexual development characteristics. Would you deny a child born with, say a micropenis to have the necessary surgery to affirm his masculinity? How about the child with CAIS whose cells do not recognise testosterone? He will never develop secondary male characteristics because that depends on testosterone. This is a hugely complex issue. But let’s say a child has been sucked into an online forum/internet group convincing them that they are transgender - and it does take that much to “groom” a child it cannot be done by one book on gay penguins - then the team should be able to determine that and more importantly follow back to the forum/ internet group to investigate and stop the pressures - just as they did with eating disorders. There alread is mechanisms in place to deal with medical malpractice - why legislate on this?

    What percentage of those who " transition" do you think have any conditions like you first mentioned? Is there any actual data on that?

    I have no idea what that question would have to do with anything. I wouldn't date a man that doesn't mean I'm against gay people dating. So even if I answered no, what does that have to do with anything?

    Really, there are people out there right now who are advocating that teachers not tell their students that there are conservative people out there?

    Care to share the details?

    First, please keep it civil, as "tranny" is derogatory. But I have indeed dated a trans woman. I do not know where it would have gone since she ended up moving out of the area for a better job. As to marry, as long as my other spouses, wanted her in the marriage also, I don't see why not. Keep in mind that does not necessarily apply to any random given trans woman. For example, Mulvaney would be right out. There has to be all the other factors that are part of my attractions, including personality and such. But being transgender in and of itself will never be a limiting factor.

    That’s not up for you to decide. I don’t think anyone who lets a kid believe they can change their sex deserves to be parents. But…. That’s not up for me to decide either.

    That there are all kinds of variations beyond the statistical norms of XX and XY. In addition, we also have situations where the SRY gene on the Y chromosome can go missing from said chromosome resulting in a female phenotype, as well as a stray SRY gene attaching to an X chromosome resulting in a male phenotype. We also have other conditions that result in the phenotype being opposite of the chromosome combination. Additionally, due to unexpected activation of genes when they shouldn't, or not activating when they should, or the results not fully being realized, we do have partial structures. We have seen in brain scans where both homosexuals and transgenders have brain structures (albeit different parts of the brain for each) that are closer to the opposite biological sex (although not the same), than of their own biological sex per their chromosomes. This is before we look at the possibility of a human chimera that comes from a male/female fraternal twin pair.

    Now most likely you are going to cry exceptions and abnormalities. But homosexuality and transgenderism are already exceptions and abnormalities. So duh! Homosexuality is no more of an abnormality that needs correction than being left handed is. And transgenderize is no more of abnormality that needs a medical correction than a club foot or a cleft lip is.

    Final Fantasy is considered an RPG. Developing imagination from Star Wars? Wow.. this is like having a conversation that thinks it’s better to read fiction rather than non fiction.

    Very well, let me make the distinction. Table top RPG's. D&D, GURPS, Rifts, not to mention all the various systems based on various franchises. That is the type of game that I was citing with the RPG industry. Video game RPG's still fall under video games. Honestly, I can't see the video game ones being "role playing". Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the games where you can customize stats and all, but it's nowhere near the same as what you do with the pen and paper RPG's. But I guess that's a whole thread of it's own.

    Where did you get Star Wars from?

    There is a Star Wars game I was reading about being an RPG. It was a blast out of loud thinking I suppose.

    That you are ok with books on animal / human relationships in books and film as well as heterosexual relationships and interracial relationships and non-human / human relationships and likely relationships by minors leading to suicide show this isn’t about the kids.

    OK. There is a Star Wars TTRPG out there, along with several other franchises, such as Star Trek, Firefly, Fallout, Dr Who, and so much more.

    I was wondering if you had confused things since I mentioned the board game Before They Were Stars as one that stimulates imagination. In it you get key words drawn at random from a card pile, and have to make up a legend/myth along the lines of stories of how the constellations came to be in the sky. But even so, the TTRPG's do stimulate the imagination a lot more than the video game counterparts. You have to imagine the surroundings, or as DM come up with well descriptive narratives, as well as trying to imagine how the character you are playing will act.
