““All modern science concurs that the mental disorder is only able to be treated by transitioning.””

Actually, modern science does not support this. While yes, some places have found findings that all transgender people have gender dysphoria (I wonder why this correlation exists, /sarcasm) this is not an effective cure. Many people have expressed continued problems after their transitions. While some are happy and make it past, some are not. I agree that it is a mental disorder. However, many people who tried a therapeutic route also expressed positive results. It is not factual to state that all modern science concurs, it actually does not, nor that the only treatment is transitioning. In…  Read more

your argument rests on an appeal to the authority of grifter with no credential or credibility in gender science, biology, or even actual psychological science (hes a jungian therapist). you have no idea what youre talking about and are just another malinformed bigot pretending to care about people while actively poisoning the discourse.

“You have no idea what you’re talking about”. They provided real life examples and their OPINION and you say that along with calling them a bigot. Do YOU even know what you’re talking about? A bigot is a person who is unwilling to listen/ learn from someone with an opposing view point. That is EXACTLY what you are doing. We can disagree without name calling and hypocrisy.

@Ars-Gratia-Artis is actually making a valid and well explained point. He is not hating on transgender people, but instead suggesting that there are other treatment options for gender dysphoria than changing genders. He does say that teenagers are one of the most mentally unstable demographics and that is why they should wait until they are older, but he does see transitioning as an option for adults (he literally said, "I'm not saying transitioning isn't an option.") Also, how is he a bigot, and how is he "actively poisoning the discourse"? Allowing different…  Read more

I'm not a professional or expert on this subject, but I am a transgender female with many trans friends who have officially transitioned and from what I've seen, been told, and even experienced is that transitioning will never be a magic cure to end your dysphoria. The goal should never be to cure your dysphoria but to soften the blow of it so your life is actually bearable. I agree with you, but I just wanted to give an actual trans person's perspective on it.

Biden will issue a pardon of his son Hunter Biden

President Joe Biden has decided to issue a pardon for his son Hunter and is expected to announce it Sunday night, according to a senior White House official with direct knowledge of the decision.The decision marks a reversal for the president, who has repeatedly said he would not use his executive authority to pardon his son or commute his sentence. The pardon comes ahead of Hunter Biden’s Dec. 12 sentencing for his conviction on federal gun charges. Hunter Biden also is set to be sentenced in a separate criminal case on Dec. 16, after pleading guilty in September on federal tax evasion charges.The pardon is expected to cover both Hunter Biden’s gun charges conviction and guilty plea.The senior White House official said Biden decided over this weekend to grant his son a pardon and began to inform his senior aides on Sunday. Using his pardon power to assure Hunter Biden does not spend time in jail comes as the 82-year-old president is near the end of his term in the White House and has no future election to face. In recent months Biden has said he would not pardon his son or commute his sentence.“I will not pardon him,” the president said of his son in June after a jury found him guilty on three federal gun charges.President Biden has discussed issuing a pardon for his son with some of his closest aides since at least Hunter Biden’s conviction in June, two people with direct knowledge of the discussions about the matter said. They said a decision was made at the time for the president to publicly say he would not pardon his son even though doing so remained on the table.White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters earlier this month that the president’s position has not changed.
