Enrico_sw Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 10 hours ago, Michael* said: it's equally unanimous in admitting to only having a rudimentary understanding of how genetics, hormones and environment factor into brain development. They know biology is a big part of it though, and biology doesn't always cleanly divide people into two sexes. Nothing in what you say suggests that a 3 year old can make life changing decisions, which is the main point. Biology clearly defines the 2 sexes, with very rare exceptions, like intersex (e.g. XXY or other kind, that are 0.0x% of the population). If you talk about brain development, fair enough, but that still doesn't mean that a 3 year old is fit for big decisions and when people have few knowledge of stuff (like in sociology) the best approach is to be careful with these things. They plead rudimentary knowledge (not all of the PC pundits do it BTW) and yet they use this little knowledge to make big changes in real life. One shouldn't make "social engineering" without extreme prudence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One shouldn't make "social engineering" without extreme prudence. I didn't say anything pertaining to the Theron case at all, as that wasn't really the question I was asked. But regarding the main point, there seems to be a widespread belief on here, and I'm not sure why, that the decision is an irreversible one, when nothing could be further from the truth. If the whole thing turns out to be a phase, the kid can just go back to being a boy. I don't see what the problem is. Much of this discussion has already devolved into assumptions of "they're giving hormones to kids" and statements like "leave his penis unchopped", which completely ignore the reality of the situation. Nobody gives hormones to kids, and even puberty blockers aren't typically prescribed until much later. By which time, I think it's safe to say whether the adolescent knows if they are transgender or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does it have anything to do with our initial discussion? Why caricaturing? 17 minutes ago, Michael* said: statements like "leave his penis unchopped" SuperG. Girl said that. It was one statement and... I think it was satirical and not to be taken literally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, I'm aware that nobody used the word "hormones". That was what I believed was being implied from the tone of the discussion and the referencing of irreversible life changing decisions, but I should have asked for clarification. However if my initial reaction was indeed wide of the mark, and the discussion we're having is literally only about a little boy who professes to feel more like a girl, then I still don't see a problem with letting them do what makes them happy. As I said, if the whole thing turns out to be a phase, the kid can just go back to being a boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They know biology is a big part of it though, and biology doesn't always cleanly divide people into two sexes. Academia is biased and can't report their case studies truthfully because of fears of certain groups that harass, call for their funding to be cut, them to be fired, etc just because it doesn't fit their narrative. I've read that certain academics are afraid to publish their case studies for the reasons I listed above. I'm all about truth not being shut down because they'll hurt feelings.

What's yours? They actually sound quite good! Nice to see they also use the gear The Beatles actually used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead end discussion. I told you what I think in my first message. And, you quoted me to basically say what you already said in your original message about Charlize & her child. I personally think she is doing nothing wrong. And I like you too Charlize can do the whatever the fuck she wants with her kids. Just don't think the kid has the maturity to make that kind of decision at that age without being able to comprehend all the factors that go into that decision.
