It is possible to be concerned about the direction the left is taking society, and to still engage with them respectfully.
If you feel they donβt return the favor, turn the other cheek. Some will, some wonβt. #StayHuman#BeKind
I forget this sometimes myself.
@chris_jack18 @LonVarnadore1@LoriMills4CA42@genie4ss @honestSTs @tedcruz Especially compared to your lived experience, but it was a real struggle for our family, and illustrates our concern about the current social movements to sort of "shove" everyone in a certain direction and particularly how it affects our kids.
@chris_jack18 @LonVarnadore1@LoriMills4CA42@genie4ss @honestSTs @tedcruz Put her in a difficult spot. I worry that, had she had more liberal parents, she'd be walking around on a slew of gender-altering medications, trying to date women, and struggling to this day with her mental health. It doesn't sound like a very dramatic story(cont)
@LonVarnadore1 @chris_jack18 @LoriMills4CA42@genie4ss @honestSTs @tedcruz I'll be honest I have to mull on that. I think maybe I should believe what I believe without treating things like the apocalypse, and seek out those who are open to genuine conversations.
@chris_jack18 @LonVarnadore1@LoriMills4CA42@genie4ss @honestSTs @tedcruz Room to respectfully discuss the idea that perhaps some GD is affected by a multitude of social, emotional, and developmental factors at early stages, and there should be some path for health treatment other than affirming transition? I hope that makes sense (end.)
@chris_jack18 @LonVarnadore1@LoriMills4CA42@genie4ss @honestSTs @tedcruz Default best case outcome seems to be assumed as transition or the eventual assumption of a trans identity. As I noted, adults can adult so I won't question those that have. However, Gender Dysphoria had previously been considered a disorder, a mental health issue. Is there(cont)
@chris_jack18 @LonVarnadore1@LoriMills4CA42@genie4ss @honestSTs @tedcruz I should note that I have bad twitter etiquette and continued the thread that you responded to without numbering.
@chris_jack18 @LonVarnadore1@LoriMills4CA42@genie4ss @honestSTs @tedcruz I recognize Iβm kind of mixing the gender dysphoria and social concept of gender discussion, I just am frustrated that one feels like a barrier to the other. Either way, I appreciate your thoughts and am sorry for being so argumentative.
@chris_jack18 @LonVarnadore1@LoriMills4CA42@genie4ss @honestSTs @tedcruz On safe treatments. Basically once people are adults I donβt worry about legislating their lives. Itβs another principle. I do feel that certain topics have been thrown way off course by academic studies that arenβt really relevant to daily life.
