There’s an amendment on the ballot here in Missouri to ban non-citizens from voting this year. Also to ban ever adopting ranked choice voting, but it’s really about that non-citizen thing. Totally not ballot candy to do something undemocratic.
If you’re in Missouri, vote no on amendment 7 please.
Bodybuilding and powerlifting would like a word.
Four wheels and a motor. How much more simple do you want?
I mean, now that you say it. A little bit.
Then you get to participate in game night and be a disturbing anecdote.
Not all of them. Some will commit suicide by five shots to the back of the head.
That’s fair and I would agree, and further guess that I’m reading too far.
That if smells of capitulation without agreement, but thank you in any case. I hope you have a nice day.
Context clues and elementary understanding of language. They stated, prior to mod removal, that they had seen doctors force transitioning. Present tense. This would imply that the person was alive in the 60s/70s (reasonable, though Lemmy’s demographics make that unusual). The more likely, and unprovable on the internet, truth is that the person is regurgitating misinformation.
A quote from someone that quoted the person (incompletely it seems): “seen doctors force sex change to children that lead to the child killing themselves in adulthood”.
This also does not address the inherent misleading portion of it, which is the thing that merits the outrage: cases from half a century ago are not a basis on which to inform people of wrongdoing in modern healthcare. Granted, I didn’t explicitly state that as a goal from the outset, but we’re cuddling up next to bad faith to assert that as unreasonable.
Was. It was common practice. It is not relevant because the person above asserted that it is currently common practice. My goalposts are stationary and your evidence only provides historical context.
Disinformation merits hostility. I’ll yield when I’m wrong.
Because this case ended it, it is no longer true that doctors force transitioning, thus proving my assertion that the person above is full of shit. Show me a relevant case and I’ll be happy to change my mind. Some case in which a doctor forced transitioning and was not prosecuted or sued over it within the last decade. I’m flexible on the date.
They are not referring to detransitioning (which is real though a minority to my understanding). They are referring to the blatant lie that doctors force patients to transition.
Edit: He -> They. Feels really inappropriate to assume gender given the context.
One case in the 60s/70s? That’s bad evidence. I assume you are clarifying and not supporting the person above.
Big claims need big evidence. Source.
Bullshit. Source or it didn’t happen.
Checks which community I’m in. Yeah that checks out.
Yeah, without that edit, I was immediately in “burn the bootlicker” mode. You make a valid consideration.
It does seem oddly specific enough to be true, but I hate that I put it out there like it was fact.
This. You can dislike someone and still recognize that a thing is sad, and that the people who loved them are suffering.
Not touching the extremist “everyone aligned with the state should die” argument. I have enough things to make me angry in my life, I don’t need to pull out a broad generalization that’ll anger me whenever I speak to my mailman.
And to trick them into banning ranked choice voting.
Edit: spelling
