@real_Caroline_K DSM-05, the standard used in courtrooms or other circumstances requiring a legal determination lists gender dysphoria, which is the underlying rationale for anyone to claim transgenderism or pursue physical therapy for transgenderism as a psychological disorder.
@FloraLuzz_ Yes, the logic is obvious and it’s the right thing to do. We live in an attention economy where contrarianism is capital and minority perspectives garner attention. This leads to promotion of the absurd at scale.
Any legal system has to be within the constraints of the constitution, which allows Congress to pass laws which means it also has to be within the limits of federal statutes. The constitution empowered the states to formulate its own laws to cover circumstances beyond federal purview via the tenth amendment so any framework for governance must also be in compliance with state constitution and state statutes. The states allow municipalities to make their own ordinances for circumstances not covered by state or federal regulations so any framework for governance must also be in compliance with the municipal charter and ordinances. Not much room left for a legitimate implementation of sharia law as things are, but a formal declaration doesn’t hurt anything.
@2600Hz_ Sometimes when evaluating a situation one must ask himself, “if an advanced alien were to visit earth and witness this behavior, how would that affect his report to the overlords?”.
