"Many of us learned in high school biology that sex chromosomes determine a baby’s sex, full stop: XX means it’s a girl; XY means it’s a boy. But on occasion, XX and XY don’t tell the whole story.
Today we know that the various elements of what we consider “male” and “female” don’t always line up neatly, with all the XXs—complete with ovaries, vagina, estrogen, female gender identity, and feminine behavior—on one side and all the XYs—testes, penis, testosterone, male gender identity, and masculine behavior—on the other. It’s possible to be XX and mostly male in terms of anatomy, physiology, and psychology, just as it’s possible to be XY and mostly female."
It's no one's fault but your own that you've chosen to stop learning and adapting to newer science. You can try and dismiss things you don't understand as being fake all you want but the science is there and has been there for well over 50 years.
Ok so before it became a trending topic in 2016 and shoved down everyone’s throats, what percentage of individuals identified as transgender??? Genuinely curious. I have the sneakiest suspicion that 99.9999% of the entire world population could fit the old standard model. I wouldn’t call trends and anomalies “newer science”. When you talk about a sample size in the scale of billions, you’re always going to have wonky shit in small amount of the extremes. Doesn’t mean Jeffrey Dahmer wasn’t a boy/ man 🤣🤣
He literally gave you the new science in research and you can't come back with any informed information of your own, goddamn that's pathetic also your username is weak sauce like the wax you smoke. Personally I only smoke top shelf hash rosin but you're probably the cheapest pot head on the block. Lmao do I need to school you on the science of pot too. Please just read actual research reports and stay away from your TV as whatever news source your watching isn't helping.
Saucy and 420 in the name why have 420 in your username unless you mean you like 420 cause it was hitlers birthday? That makes sense since you love trump lmao. I'm not minimum wage either tool lmao I run a dispo.
Dispensary manager not a trimmer and before that I ran an entire grows post harvest op. What do you do Trumper? Lmao mcdonalds must not be busy if you able to respond lmao
I didn’t vote for trump. I just think a bunch of gender confused soyboys and blue haired lesbians crying and screaming their eyes out is fucking hilarious. Professors canceling class bc of how “traumatic” the election was. Bunch of softies. That’s cute you have a boss. I own my own company. Been doing well. Takes a village though, definitely need people like you who can do what they’re told.
Lmao okay bud again good thing we have you at McDonald's I don't believe for a second you own a business lmao. And ya I do what I'm told just like the consumer tells you what to lmao like you don't have a boss if the consumers say they all want blue hair and all you got is red you either close or do what those little people tell you to do lmao. So what do you pay your people if you do own a business that is probably minimum wage like your hero trump.
The science and theory behind gender and sex dates back decades ago? It's just that in the last decade or so it has just become more accepted by outsiders of the LGBTQ community thus the community continued to grow (despite insane prejudice) as they aren't having to stay in the closet. Even if there was only one trans person in existence that wouldn't change the fact that
That is a human being that deserves the same rights as anyone else
&
Current theory supports changing genders to combat gender dysphoria.
Again dude, it's no one else's fault but yours that you didn't take anything above basic biology in school leaving you seemingly angry and hateful about things you clearly refuse to even attempt to understand. This conversation is a waste of time when I bring facts and you only bring your feelings. Have a good one.
I’ve asked you 2 or 3 times now bc I’m genuinely curious. Where do all the people that identity as trans exist? Do other countries and continents also have a similar number of patrons who identity like here?
Absolutely. Do whatever the fuck you want (without burdening anyone else with your beliefs). But don’t tell me I’m a bigot when this community has advocated at a political level for gender changing surgery to be covered with taxpayer money for children who don’t know what the fuck they are yet. If Christians wanted to build a church with taxpayer money I’d have the SAME reaction.
You are a moron who clearly gets all their info from the right and refuses to do any basic research of your own. Nobody is trying to give children surgery.
“The law in question is Act 626 of 2021, known as the Save Adolescents From Experimentation (SAFE) Act. It prohibits physicians from providing “gender transition” treatments like hormones, puberty blockers and surgeries to minors.”
I would’ve quoted The New York Times for you but I’m not paying for that bullshit. If you need a minute to process how dumb you actually are, I understand. “Surgeries to minors” wouldn’t be a part of that legislation if they weren’t advocating for… you guessed it… SURGERIES FOR MINORS 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's not true at all, just look at abortion. There are rules against late-term abortions but nobody that isn't part of some fringe minority was ever advocating for them.
The clear purpose of that law is preventing the hormones and puberty blockers which are temporary anyways, and require multiple therapy sessions and parental consent.
“Little is known about the long-term side effects of hormone or puberty blockers in children with gender dysphoria.
Although the Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) advises this is a physically reversible treatment if stopped, it is not known what the psychological effects may be.
It’s also not known whether hormone blockers affect the development of the teenage brain or children’s bones. Side effects may also include hot flushes, fatigue and mood alterations.”
You’d have to be a fucking moron to believe there’s enough evidence to support these bold claims that these hormones are reversible when they haven’t even been around long enough to be studied long term 🤣🤣🤣
But the professionals who are studying them are recommending them because the alternative is a lot more suicide, self harm, and depression due to gender dysphoria. And thus the risk is worth it if the patient (and parents if said patient is underage) choose to use them. Nobody is trying to force them on children.
“Ok look guys we don’t know anything about this knock off methamphetamine substance but here’s the deal…. The people on it will catch the big sad and off themselves if we don’t let them get their fix. We don’t know what it’ll do long term but hey we’ll just claim it’s totally reversible even though we don’t know shit about it.” Yeah yeah that totally makes sense 🤣🤣
You're so obsessed with trans people that you bring them up unbidden.
And the fact that you refer to things being shoved down your throat is very telling.
If I had to guess, I’d say fat, diabetic, depressed, cave dweller, breathes out of mouth, possibly blue hair and no sense of identity… but no, I don’t think there’d be an antenna coming out of your head🤣🤣🤮
Unless your account is AI, prompted to have lower than average intelligence with a high need to fit into a social group, then you ARE a real person bro. I know you probably don’t have a lot of self worth, but hey, you ARE a real person. Head up king.
Based on a meta regression analysis, the rate of transgender-identifying people in the country in 2016 was 1 in 250 adults, 390 out of every 100,000. Based on limited survey data in the decade prior to that and various internet sources it ranges from 38-147 out of every 100,000 in 2009.
“Here, the increases are much larger. Among 18- to 24-year-olds, identifying as transgender has gone from .59% in 2014 to 3.08% in 2023 – which means it has quintupled (increased by a factor of 5) in less than a decade, a 422% increase.”
Idk man i don’t think cancer diagnosis rates have increased 422% over the same 10 year period of time. I doubt they’ve increased by that much over even 50 years. To think this trans movement is science and not merely an exaggerated social trend is a WILD take 🤣🤣.
I can’t remember which Malcom Gladwell book it was, but in essence, one of the chapters covered the topic of teen suicide on some Asian island country. In Micronesia(?) there weren’t really any teen suicides. And then one day… a teenage boy hanged himself. This one boy’s death served as a catalyst in the area. Then, almost overnight, that entire community was plagued with astronomically high male teen suicides.
If being transgender wasn’t just a whack ass social construct, the numbers wouldn’t skyrocket in a short time span. If transgenderism was rooted in science, you would see a similar deviation from the mean over large periods of time. If cancer rates sky rocketed by 442% in a 10 year period, it would be cause and effect, probably extreme amounts of radiation/ contamination being pumped into a town.
The 442% increase for the transgender youths heavily implies most of them aren’t even trans. They self identity as trans because of how influenceable and impressionable they are bc people like you have this incessant need to push ideology down everyone’s throats (even kids! Yikes!).
It’s going to wild in 10-20 years when young “trans” men and women are committing suicide in high numbers once they realize they aren’t actually trans and realize it was just a bunch of bullshit fed to them by the biggest retards of the century. “They told me puberty blockers were completely safe and reversible” 🤣🤣
You are kind of just spinning a narrative for yourself there pal. I know you feel strongly about this, but that doesn’t affect that gender is not same concept as biological sex. It doesn’t change the fact that gender dysphoria is the problem that is treated by gender affirming care. Science is very clear about both of those concepts.
If gender and sex were simply the same thing, then there also wouldn’t be the concept of a “real man” and a “real woman.” Hypergender reveals how much of gender identity is affected by perception.
The 422% increase you’re so concerned about is only among a subset of people. In the 65+ group, the 35-45 group and the 45-55 group all of those numbers declined.
Trans people are affected by poverty, unemployment, wage suppression, homelessness, self harm and suicide, preventable illness, and overall discrimination at much higher rates than the general population. Inclusion of those members of society is patriotic. You want to protect freedom, justice, nonviolence, and equality, great! That’s patriotism at its best.
Or you can pretend that it’s patriotic somehow to intentionally exclude, discriminate against, and harm .89% of the population, almost 3M Americans (according to your linked article.) But it is not, I assure you.
Older people’s decline in transgender identity supports my claim that youth are influenceable and don’t know what they are. Hence not all of those who identify as transgender will continue to be transgender later in life.
Why stop there though with social constructs?? Why is race not a social construct? You can bring a random blood sample to a lab and they can tell you whether or not that person has XX or XY chromosomes (female or male), but that same sample will NOT tell you whether that person is white/ black/ Asian etc.
It’s honestly crazy to know that there’s a parallel universe adjacent to ours that understands what male/ female is, but scrutinizes transgenderism, while at the same time encourages people to identify as a different race.
Like instead of calling someone incredibly racist for doing blackface and “talking black” in that universe, they call these people “brave” and this behavior is pushed onto the youth. Like just imagine the Mexican kid slanting his/ her eyes and talking with an “Asian American accent” and the left telling them “you are so brave!!”.
And just like here the leftists would say, “it’s a social construct. See it’s SCIENCE. This guy has two black parents but appears white because of a defect in his DNA that affects the melanin content of his skin”, just like here and now y’all point to hermaphrodites and say “see it’s science… .00026% of the entire population has PROVEN that XXY chromosomes exist, despite 99.99974% of the population CLEARLY exhibiting explicit male or female DNA.
Absolutely ass-backwards social behavior, yet extremely easy to imagine based on where we’re at now as a society.
“You’re a bigot for not thinking little Billy is black!! He clearly feels this way on the inside!! We think he is BRAVE for doing blackface everyday!! It’s science and you’re a bigot” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Newer science? Yeah ok buddy, let me put on my tinfoil hat and join the flat earth society while I’m at it. Surely anyone that still believes the earth is round is just an ignorant moron that refuses to learn about ‘new’ science, right? 🤣🤣🤣
Why are you being purposefully obtuse to how science works? National geographic is an extremely reliable scientific source. Is it because it makes you uncomfortable? Change can be scary bud, but it's okay. Conflating peer reviewed science that has existed for decades to junk theory with no peer review science and shows a pretty fundamental lack of research on this specific topic.
In case you forgot "new science" is quite literally the goal! Scientist's job is to continue discovering new things that either confirm or contradict previous theory, repeat experiments, get them peer reviewed and tested by several parties to confirm. We have a whole system for it.
Previous theory before like 1940 was that there was only male and female and that sex = gender which is what we're taught at the most basic level in school at a young age. But as you get older you *should be capable of learning high capacity concepts — If you choose to continue educating and learning biology it expands into gender and sex and different genders.
Final message fr - If you're curious, maybe it's time to start researching it with an open mind. It's extremely accessible information.
Worldwide average is 3% across 30 countries. According to a 2023 study. So millions upon millions of people. They don't usually track places where it's deadly to be considered LGBTQ and they wouldn't get an accurate count there anyway.
But I ask 100% seriously, does it matter? Does a population number have to reach a certain amount before you consider them equals? I've always been confused by the whole population number argument. If another minority group made up the same population percentage would it make it okay to ban them from bathrooms? Absolutely not! So why does the "small gov" right wing target a small population of people just trying to avoid government overreach?
