@libsoftiktok @CivilRights It's not, and when it gets challenged in court it'll get thrown out.

@DTuned99180 @DeathGo26129104 @JLTAsphaltPoet @washingtonpost The current paradigm of drugs, surgery, name and fashion changes : that is the opposite of real treatment. It is nothing more than running away from who a person really is and attempting to live in a fantasy. Ultimately, reality catches up with everyone. Better to face it.

@DTuned99180 @DeathGo26129104 @JLTAsphaltPoet @washingtonpost I never said anything about not treating those with dysphoric related conditions.

You don't treat DID by leaning into personas. You don't treat OCD by leaning into the compulsions. Much in the same, you don't treat dysphoria by leaning into the misplaced identity.

[Ed @EdJustEd1]

@DTuned99180 @DeathGo26129104 @JLTAsphaltPoet @washingtonpost I spent over a decade dealing with those with Dissociative Identity Disorder. The issues there are a lot more complex than someone with dysphoria. You don't treat avoiding themselves by accepting their delusions of being someone else. That's abuse.

@DTuned99180 @DeathGo26129104 @JLTAsphaltPoet @washingtonpost Cis is not a scientific term. So, you're not going to a logical point of view until you come back to that which is concrete. We know XX and XY. There are some extremely rare aberrations. Trans and cis? Those are invented, political terms. Not science, friend.

[Ed @EdJustEd1]

@DTuned99180 @DeathGo26129104 @JLTAsphaltPoet @washingtonpost The results of that 'study' are laughable, and and specifically left out the results of ~ 45% of the participants.
The fact is the only reason the classification and treatment for Gender Identity Disorder changed was due to concerns over negative stigma. Not science, friend.

@NancyMace Excellent news.

[Ed @EdJustEd1]

@xanicCain @JLTAsphaltPoet @washingtonpost I appreciate the perspective and while it a topic worthy of discussion it is beyond the scope of what I have time for at the moment.

[Ed @EdJustEd1]

@DTuned99180 @DeathGo26129104 @JLTAsphaltPoet @washingtonpost I don't recall stating anything about treatment.

Deciding what the end goal of that treatment should be will define what kind of treatment is administered.

[Ed @EdJustEd1]

@xanicCain @JLTAsphaltPoet @washingtonpost Everyone has the right to decide how they react to such things, and are also free to make the same types of judgements of others.

[Ed @EdJustEd1]

@xanicCain @JLTAsphaltPoet @washingtonpost I don't recall mentioning anything about restricting a person from changing their body.

How others perceive and judge us is never up to us. If we choose to be social with others, they are free to critique and/or criticize us - our appearance, our speech, our choices.

[Ed @EdJustEd1]

@xanicCain @JLTAsphaltPoet @washingtonpost Unless you believe homosexuality has some relevance to people's assertion of being trans, it's not pertinent to this discussion.

[Ed @EdJustEd1]

@xanicCain @JLTAsphaltPoet @washingtonpost Objective truth is what it is. The avenue that's laid out before us all is to dispel our own falsehoods and illusions in d our ways of thinking, and learn how to accept things as they actually are. It's a sobering voyage, but ultimately a necessary one.

[Ed @EdJustEd1]

@JLTAsphaltPoet @washingtonpost You either can't comprehend my previous posts or are simply being an idiot on purpose.

Either way, you've run your course and now it's time for you to move on.

@stevxrse It's called Mary Sue.

@TicTocTick Facts.

@Nancy_NB_713 You call that a beating?

You're soft.

[Ed @EdJustEd1]

@Luheah Should have put both of those young men in the hospital.

@tayylorrmaee

[Ed @EdJustEd1]

@xanicCain @JLTAsphaltPoet @washingtonpost Hence, there's nothing absolute or concrete about 'feeling' trans. It's an illusion, a malady of the mind. Its not a crime, but it's also not real, concrete identification of human.
