How is this science?

Well said. That comment was clearly from a triggered troll 😂 Edit- This isn't a talk about science 😂😂😂

Yes , you are correct!

Where would you look for that research?

​@@pooheadloui know right!? 😂😂 This person is just a triggered troll.

Same here. What are your symptoms?

@@Iliketurtlezz Brain pain and burning sensations. Agitation irritation. Detached. Muscle ache nerves difficulty walking. Weak, fatigue. Cognitively. Your symptoms?

yeah that was weird. The should have just said "the recent climate change" so as to be distinct. The website linked says "Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. Such shifts can be natural, due to changes in the sun’s activity or large volcanic eruptions. But since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas."

My first reaction was that they were referring to recent climate change as the other person mentioned.

​@Mtnshell56 that seems pretty obvious

"More similar than different". If they weren't clearly differentiated in function, we would not have sexual reproduction. same thing across the animal kingdom and same thing with plants, male and female coalesce to form new life. Trying to redefine "gender" is such nonsense. NO ONE shares some exact "experience" of being a man or a woman, that is why we define a woman as an adult FEMALE, they are all of the same sex, that is what defines them. "Man" or "woman" are not some moral judgement or evaluation of how masculine or feminine they feel or present, it's simply about having a term to describe any adult human male and any adult human female. This obsession that the "trans" community has with redefining the terms to reflect how they feel etc. is totally pointless. There are no people who truly feel 100% comfortable all of the time, the idea of labelling people "cis" or "trans" is completely unnecessary, there is no "cis" experience and there is no "trans" experience, people are individuals, and as a whole the community fails to come up with any coherent explanation to define their redefinition of "woman" because you cannot come up with a definition that caters to every possibility. That is why the terms "man" and "woman" being rooted in physical reality is the only thing that makes sense, if there are no clear parameters for a definition then it cannot function as a definition. If anyone can identify as a grablar, and the only definition of being a grablar, is feeling like identifying as one, then you haven't defined grablar as anything at all. This is why it is also an obsession with creating more and more boxes. The terms "man" and "woman" encompass every possible personality, within physical boundaries, any man or woman is free to act, think, look, behave however they want, that they as individuals are labelled as men or women is purely about the physical - saying a man is an adult human male, and a woman an adult human female does not restrict anyone's self-expression, not wanting to acknowledge one's physical reality is a fool's errand, the sex someone is doesn't change based on how anyone feels or dresses - so it is the "trans" side that 100% is creating this false narrative that acknowledging a person's sex is somehow restrictive, they are the side saying men or women behave like this or that. I mean if they weren't doing that, then they would agree that the umbrella terms based on sex, man and woman, were perfectly fine - but they don't! They say no no, if someone doesn't FEEL like the sex they are, they can't be it, though they cannot explain what "feeling cis" even really means, because NO ONE shares the exact same experiences emotionally. What "they" are trying to do is swap a definition that has a physical basis, for a definition that is entirely rooted in feelings and often in validating sexist stereotypes associated with either sex. This "woman is a social construct" thing IS the part that validates and perpetuates sexist stereotypes - woman isn't a social construct in that sense, it is a word society has chosen yes, but to describe a PHYSICAL state of being, not anyone's emotional states or where they fall on some spectrum of masculinity or femininity. There is a fundamental misunderstanding here of what the definition of man and woman means. The notion that people need to live up to sexist stereotypes of what "real men" or "real women" are, is complete fantasy. The fact that many people act as if sexist stereotypes were valid ways of measuring "real men" or real women" is a problem with the individual and their sexist bias, not with the terms themselves, as the terms themselves have none of the expectational baggage that people who internalise sexist stereotypes associate with them.

No one can be "born in the wrong body", our brains ARE our body just as much as any other part of it. We are the sex we are, regardless of what our personal relationship is with the sexist stereotypes in society. "Trans" ideology, is regressive and sexist, as there is no "correct way" of being a boy or girl, man or woman, all those terms do is indicate sex and stage of maturity - decoupling sex and gender and trying to make gender into this ludicrous concoction of personality and sexist stereotypes is beyond regressive - it actively harms people who buy into it - the idea that there is something wrong with a kid's body that needs to be chemically altered because they believe living up to sexist stereotypes is some real measure of whether they are a boy or a girl (and man or woman for adults obviously), is insanity. I have asked hundreds of "activists" and "allies" to explain what they are measuring themselves against to determine that they have a need to transition - NOT ONE person has been able to articulate what that is - not one person is able to distance themselves sufficiently to realise that THEY are the ones with a regressively sexist idea of what it means to be a boy/girl or man/woman and that that is the issue causing all the problems - their own misunderstanding and severely limited perspective/sexist misunderstanding of what sexist stereotypes/"gender norms" actually entail - they are not rules, they are not real boundaries, they are regressive ideas and generalisations - no one needs to live up to any such utter nonsense or feel comfortable with those stereotypes to be a boy/girl/man/woman - all those terms represent, and all they should represent, is sex and stage of maturity - by creating this whole "gender identity" nonsense, THAT IS WHAT CAUSES ALL THE DISTRESS, THIS FABRICATION OF A FRAMEWORK WHICH DISTORTS REALITY. No one - NO ONE - in the movement has been able to explain or articulate what this supposed "womanly essence" or "manly essence" is that they feel/know/need to transition in order to represent etc. actually is - yet you all actively believe in it and push for it to be accepted. That is ludicrous.

Based on your res​ponse here, I am not sure you could hear their response. I am curious what is going on that makes you so frustrated? For me it's a child that is trying to make their way in this world and is not fairly represented but met with talking and not listening. Check out this video above please and then be willing to share your thoughts about a more nuanced perspective. It's not great for talking points but good for an honest appraisal of the issue at present. It sounds like the DOC here is behind on some best practices literatur. @@ambientjohnny

@@robertstuckey6575 Curious how you have NOTHING to say about any of the points I raised beyond just dismissing everything. You don't understand the power of perspective and attention, and how a faulty perspective can lead to suffering.

@@ambientjohnny I might answer your questions just not sure they are in good faith. If they were, you would probably be able to describe the points for me and then discuss what is difficult for you. I think the literature is pretty clear about how complex the issue is and not privy to a back and forth on KZbin. I am just disappointed in most of the conversations around this topic being had. There is a vitrial that is not gracious and open to understanding the human experience. I wish you well in your gathering of knowledge and hope if nothing else you will come to realize how excruciating this process is for very vulnerable persons (even that has variation also to show the complexity). Video I posted. He does a good job clarifying the issues at hand.
