Parents let 7 year old boy believe he's a girl.

So I take it you can't find the studies yourself? Fair enough. The information I linked would have been the foundation for my counter. But since the counter needed the definition of "transgender" in the study, nothing more can be said until you found the study in question.

 

in a Muslim Family such crazy things do not appear!

 

Like I said, nothing within your information contradicted a thing, I or the Dr said. It not really a "counter" if you dont dispute anything.

 

You should probably read up on Iran. Iran is # 2 in the world for # of sex reassignment surgeries.

 

this are Shias.

I said Muslim, not Shia.

 

The counter is saying your source can't be trusted. Think of it like this, if I said that Conservatives are all idiots and had a "study" done to show it, you would demand for proof. If I gave you an article with people agreeing to it but without any actual way of finding out more about the study, you would think it would be difficult to believe as well.

 

Yes, the Sunnis usually kill them

 

Ah, so the copy and paste complete with links was just superfluous info having nothing to do with your claim or mine.

 

No. That was the ground work to a potential counter. Since you didn't come through with the study, there was no need to continue developing it. Also in part because it needed the study to justify the premises.

 

You would need something that contradicted the info provided in order to be a counter.

 

You're right. I would need something to contradict the information.

 

usually the Sunnis expell such people from family. we declare them death, burn their pictures, and any what reminds on them and never speak about them.

 

If a boy claims to be a girl, he needs to be put on medication.

 

Bud, face it, you will never be on the same page you are trying to convince us that your definition works..no scientific studies, no research, and no sense..

 

There is something to be said for the environment having an impact on a person choosing to be transgender. Don't believe me, take a little trip to a place called Pattaya, Thailand.

 

Why would I need scientific facts when I have logic and reason to support my theory? I know that if I were to come up with some facts that say that Gender identity is biological or that it's unchangable, you would laugh at it, and say it's the result of a liberal bias. Likewise how I look at Dixon's study and say that it's lacking something rather important to it. Logic and reason can't be argued against, except by logic and reason. In the end, the better argument will be the one that uses that.

 

sometimes ya just gotta take it on faith. If everything needs to be proven to you, you may have a long life, but it will be filled with small things that really don't matter. Honestly..no insult intended

 

Fair enough. I'm just tired from a relatively short but filled week. I need the weekend. Just some time to sleep in properly. I'm going to bed now, so goodnight!

 

I hate these parents. I hate this culture of perverts. I strongly believe that the Government should take care of every child in the country and protect them of their parents abuse and stupidity... They must be punished. It is like a one-way ticket for an innocent boy. Every choice should be wise and reasonable. Not of 7 years child..

 

What logic or reason do you imagine to be missing from the two studies cited? And are you ever going to get around to actually disputing anything they claim?

 

1. I did. I said you didn't do your job as a source provider, thus the studies in question do not have credibility. Thus no reason to believe them.
2. Equivocation.

 

Questioning the source isn't disputing the information. And you've provided no information that even suggests the information is not correct. Attack the messenger because you cant dispute the message.

 

OH so you were making a phony comparison then.................gothca.

 

When you dispute a source, you're saying it can not be trusted for a reason. Lack of credibility is one such reason that can work. I'm saying that you haven't given me enough information to say I should trust the source. So in the end, I don't need to attack how true it is, simply it's lack of credibility. Think of it like this, would you trust economic advice from a bum on the street or a banker who spent years in his craft? The bum could be right, but his information is not going to be well trusted.

 

No, you are applying adult concepts to a child.
