@miikebates@JakeTbird Also, you literally asked me to explain why academics are plummeting, and when I gave you actual systemic factors, you dismissed them as excuses just because they didn't fit your culture war narrative. If you wanna rant about your opinions, just say so.
@miikebates@JakeTbird Averages hide the massive inequality. Schools in wealthy zip codes are well-funded, while Title I schools in low-income areas deal with severe shortages. Saying "we spend a lot overall" doesn't mean resources are getting to the classrooms that actually need them.
@ChetRusinek I dont agree for one reason, please hear me out.
Do y'all realize how rapists in prison are treated? They don't deserve an easy way out, they deserve to rot in prison.
@th0rnprince@cunnymanttwj Define "normal." Because if normal is defined by the majority, and not normal is bad, then you must also think left handedness is a mental illness.
@Bsbsbsb297566@th0rnprince I care about that, and I also acknowledge that study after study has shown that the most effective treatment is gender affirming care. If you present me with new information, I won't reject it. I'd rather be wrong because then it means I learn something new.
@Bsbsbsb297566@th0rnprince Because you failed to prove my point wrong. I said being trans isn't a mental illness, you pointed to gender dysphoria, and so I pointed out that the AMA and other medical organizations agree that gender dysphoria isn't proof that it's a mental illness.
@SDC_MaVeRiCk_@xemiemiemi@tifagirlx No one said that trans affirming surgery can magically change you completely genetically. The entire point of transgender affirming surgery is to get as close as possible. Why do you care so much if they want to present how it makes them comfortable? Does it personally harm you?
@Bsbsbsb297566@th0rnprince Gender dysphoria is not proof that being transgender is a mental illness the APA AMA and WHO all explicitly say gender dysphoria doesn't mean being trans is a mental illness. Its like trying to say being a teenager makes you mentally ill because so many teenagers suffer from MDD
@th0rnprince Okay well that's your Bible not my Bible. It's sort of like saying that you can't be Christian because a napkin says that you can't and I believe in the napkin. Many bible verses also say to kindly lift people up and to treat everyone with respect but you don't seem to do that
@SDC_MaVeRiCk_@xemiemiemi@tifagirlx Gender dysphoria does not make transgender identity a mental illness. It's a common misconception that I have a feeling you intentionally misconstrued to fit your narrative. And no trans people are trying to change their sex, they're trying to change gender.
@Bsbsbsb297566@th0rnprince No I want to know, because the MA, APA, WHO, and many other sources agree that it's not a mental illness. So what is your source? If you would like to admit that it's just an opinion because you don't like trans people, go ahead and don't respond. Otherwise you need evidence :3
@xemiemiemi@SDC_MaVeRiCk_@tifagirlx Oh my goodness someone who isn't a dumbass on this site!
I completely agree. They say science doesn't agree with you until you prove it does then they say that it's been "bought out by the left" or whatever other conspiracy theory
