It's also depressing that, as usual, those areas blame the bogeyman groups that they collectively refer to as "The Left," and act like these situations - even if true - are recent upheavals caused by upstarts. 20-25 years ago, during the decline of Mainstream Media's anti-liberal bias (yes, kids, the MSM was squarely in the right'd favour at one time!), i once saw a news special on growing decorative disfigurement trends in transhumanism (note that transhumanism has literally nothing to do with LGBTQIA+). There was a man who tatoo'd tiger stripes all over his body, cut slits at the corners of his eyes, wore feline-eye contacts, disfigured his lip clefts and filed his teeth into points. He even wore whiskers. That guy wasn't transexual or transgender (afaik), so it goes to show that human dysmorphia, odd behaviours and disfigurement are NOT attributed to sexual orientation or gender ID. It's independent. So even us normies are prone to identifying as fucking tigers.

However, let's say we did take the left's solution and put it into practice. Transgender kids are given the information early enough to express themselves and get onto puberty blockers. That means that when they compete in teen sports, they're at a disadvantage compared to their cisgender peers; because their cisgender peers have gone through puberty and they haven't due to the blockers.

The fact that this guy used the "uterus removal" example really proves how out of touch these people are. I'm nearly 30 and haven't been able to find a Dr who would even allow me to get my tubes tied, much less a hysterectomy.

Took me 15 years- with massive medical issue due to my uterus. The pain was debilitating, hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills, no insurance because I had trouble working, an absolute MISERY. Fight for what you need. Talk to different doctors. If one isn’t supportive of something- go to another. Life is too precious to spend in crying in misery, wishing that the offending organ be removed. I woke up from surgery needing no pain meds- even tho it was a hip to hip cut (like a c section). I didn’t need any meds. I could have sex without pain. I wasn’t spending days in bed, unable to move, weeping. Support these trans kids & adults. Often, their very lives depend on it. And we should be a society that accepts & includes differences, especially ones that are personal & ARENT EVEN AFFECTING THE PEOPLE FIGHTING AGAINST THEM! When half of any population is considering suicide- it’s time to make some GD choices. Better choices. And John Oliver is right on the joy- everyone should be able to pursue their joy!

Can we talk about Schreier accidentally saying that Trans kids are "building a world that is so healthy..." Accidentally said the quiet part out loud, didn't she?

My partner is going through a rough situation and was talking to his mom today. We were on a call because he wanted to bounce messages off of me so he doesn't get disowned by his mom too, but in one of his mom's messages, she referred to him as her son. That was the first time she had done that. The pure joy in his voice almost brought me to tears

Bearded dragon owner here. I have one named Frank after my favorite architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Bearded dragons are omnivores. I typically feed him crickets and mealworms for meat, lettuce and kale for hydration and greens, and blueberries and strawberries. I especially love it when he eats blueberries because it looks like he's wearing lipstick. When he's not chilling on his hammock in his enclosure, I let him climb onto me and up to my shoulders. When it's hot out, I bring another enclosure and take him outside. I let him explore the grass (though he doesn't exactly move much), and when he's done, I place in a different enclosure so he doesn't move anywhere. His indoor enclosure is right next to a window and he loves to birdwatch from his hammock.

ROGD is a made-up term by conservative parents, mainly used as a sort of "intellectual reasoning" as to why their child "suddenly became trans." i know you don't actually understand what it's like to even be in the presence of a trans person to hear their story, let alone step into their shoes, but my conservative parents thought I had it. that it was "just a phase," that "it was brought on so suddenly," and that "they'd never seen the signs." i came out at 14, but lest i forget being as young as 6- far before getting access to the internet and far before my parents started watching conspiracy theory cable news- and wearing towels like dresses after bath time because it made me feel pretty. you asking for sources was just incredibly ironic to me, as throughout your entire tirade through this comment section over the last few months, and over 1000 comments later, I actually haven't seen you cite a single source that wasn't from a blatant anti-trans, far-right activist who's "evidence" was either completely false, had no weight to it whatsoever, or was skewed by the fact that they picked obvious anti-trans demographics to coax their "research" into being swayed in their direction. let me ask you a question. do you have the same favorite color as when you were, say, 10? what about your favorite food? your favorite type of music? do you realize that the human brain evolves over time? and do you realize that as the idea of being trans becomes more mainstream and more accepted, more people are starting to come out as trans, solely because the idea is becoming less stigmatized, and their thoughts and feelings are actually starting to be validated? maybe you've seen the study of what percent of people are left handed, from 1900-today. back before the 1960s, left handed people were forced to write with their right hand because being left handed was unnatural. now, today, once people stopped giving a fuck about what hand you wrote with, the percentage of left handed people skyrocketed in the following couple decades, and then plateaued, because while still uncommon, left handed people were allowed to be their fucking selves, and write with their left hand. and as soon as people like you stop ostricizing trans people and invalidating their feelings, making them feel like they have no purpose in the world simply because they don't feel like what they were born as, the percentage of LGBTQ+ people is going to skyrocket, and then plateau. because once the LGBTQ+ community can start being themselves, and not have to worry about fucktards like you contributing to trans suicide and self-harm by constantly bashing them and telling them "sorry you had to castrate yourself to feel better," maybe it'll start being safer to come out as trans, just like it became safer to write with your left fucking hand.

My youngest daughter questioned her identity as she was in her teens, she felt more or less "gender fluid" and she explored that part of herself in her own way. I always tried to help her feel comfortable to talk about it if she wanted to and I let her know that I would always love her no matter what. She has become a very caring and compassionate person and I am very proud of how she deals with this crazy thing we call life. Peace to you all.

As a trans adult who didn't get the support they needed growing up, thank you for cheering up my evening. Progress comes in baby steps across generations, so thank you for being one of those baby steps.

Clearly you've failed your daughter in how you raised her. And now you're trying to rationalize your failure. Nice.

thank you for supporting her. You have no idea how much this might have helped or even saved her. I wish you both so much happiness

Quit feeding her delusions

That Game of Thrones darkness cut and HBO Max pause button cut hit extremely hard

I love John Oliver! He is just all the good things a person should be, and hilarious. ❤

Vicki, this is not the kind stance on gender ideology. In several states they put male grapists in women's prisons and mutilate and sterilize children. As a woman you should object to males in your spaces. You need to know if the person next to you has a penis for safeguarding reasons
