How about just addressing the argument rather than attacking someone's race, color, sex, religion, and/or national origin? Thought you guys understood how that all worked. . .

O.K., I suppose you might point out that Jews are a race but then it's not universal and blood is the color red so that fit's too and boys are a sex, I suppose, so you win there and all parties involved surely have some national origin so that's another hit for team butt sore about religion.

So when you said you'll be "traveling the world, seeing new things, meeting new people and just trying to enjoy my life" you meant that you'd be post whoring all day long within minutes of a post notification, without actually addressing arguments?

Well that's an obvious case of deliberate child abuse. I'm sure parents that decided to send their kid through gender re-assignment surgery felt they were doing what's best in the interest of the child, just as parents that sent their kids to Jesus Camp felt they were doing what's best. People here tend to be a bit hyperbolic and have referred to both as "child abuse," and tho that may not necessarily be the case, it doesn't negate the underlying danger they're trying to point out.

That wasn't what I was discussing. It was presented as being child abuse. I reacted to that since Winsor belongs to a tribe that forces actual child abuse as part of their culture. Any decision made in conjunction with or for a child may not be in their best interest. You are a parent, I am sure you understand there is a very fine line between being supportive AND acting in the best interest of the child. When to seek out professional help, etc. Each situation and each child is different. I certainly wouldn't agree that each child that wants to transition should transition, nor do I agree that no child should ever be allowed to transition. All the more reason to allow conversation, dialogue, communication and a network of experts to work through these things. Not just blanket prohibition. Kind of like how we deal with circumcision as a society, just to bring it full circle. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kind of like how we deal with circumcision as a society, just to bring it full circle. I wasn't involved with any of the Mitzvot regarding foreskins, and really don't get the fixation during the Bronze Age. The Tanakh mentions collecting foreskins of slain adversaries, which I agree is beyond icky. Left ears are bad enough. There are Mitzvot regarding the care and feeding of slaves as well. Since I find the institution personally abhorrent, I freed all of my slaves years ago and gave each one $1.7 million and a great employment reference. There are many way fucked up practices in various cultures, and I agree that 'respecting' them reflexively is lame. The Children of Israel are, by any standard, one big, dysfunctional family - but you knew that already. By no means does this make the vivisection of children okay. If you turn 18 and want to pierce your eyeballs and have your penis split up the middle and have hieroglyphics tattooed over every inch of your skin, knock yourself out. Jews are still kinda touchy about little kids being subjected to 'experiments' by licensed MDs some time back, but switching back and forth between 'male' and 'female' on the basis of a pubescent identity crisis is not okay by any means. YMMV. BSBD, Winsor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
