@NaomiSeibt Ok, I'll bite: Busted. 100% busted. Not that controls even put power back into parents' hands, but the fact they try to sell it like that is rich. Every plan hiding true intentions is being exposed as censorship, power-grabs, and self-centered political career building.
@NaomiSeibt So they want to put power back into parents' hands? But if children in certain jurisdictions believe they're born in the wrong body they can be removed by CPS for not being affirmed or seek sanctuary & start transitioning. What might this reveal about intentions?
@ConceptualJames This is what happened to the Liberal Party of Canada in the Y2Ks. Peaking somewhat during last election using the false Canadiana cache of many, esp. Mike Myers (knees bobbing uncontrollably), to interview w/ CBC & claim that Mark Carney was a centrist.
...I wonder what the educational model was there. I wonder if U had someone who saw the talent, took U by the hand & helped U become the success U are today."
Whether U did or not, no matter how you identify, I'm glad you're here doing work so good and true to you.

I hope that's true. But even if not, whenever I walked past it, I'd think, "Isn't it amazing that such an incredible, talented, committed, beautiful person came from this little school, in this little neighbourhood, and went on to conquer Hollywood?"

Lastly, Not long ago, I lived in the orange house on Bilby Street. I think you might know what I'm talking about. In Halifax. I was told you went to the elementary school around the corner there, and I used to walk by it on the way to the Hydrostone for coffee all the time.

I'm already tired of hearing me think too. But I want to share a bit more. I can believe you want to protect children. Can you believe that people who think of children born in the wrong body is simply untrue, want that too? And are entitled to protect their children?

One solution is to make sure we all understand the TRUE arguments of our respectful oppositions. Not the ones that are 100% consistently misrepresented and puposely under-explored by pop culture & news media biased one way or the other.

But I didn't see them as women & most were fine with that or jokingly punched me if not. Some saw friends transition & didn't approve. Ultimately, no one is obliged to agree w/ any of us on anything. Mandated thoughts/speech already having disastrous societal consequences.

I've hung out & partied & had relations with trans women as an adult. I never see them as less than human. The situations, admittedly, were more often kind of lascivious than anything, but I think I understand why trans ppl want & deserve deeper integration. And peace.

And how are kids self-deceiving, if they are, & how do we defend them without seeming mean when the flip-side of all this is accompanied by mandated language (100% fascistic), privilege, Educational & cultural coercion, & misrepresentation of legitimate good faith opposition?

And if so, how? And why? And for whom? Who benefits from potentially life-long medical patients, paid for by govts or insurance? How could a social contagion reach across the western world so efficiently? Is one party specifically benefitting, politically, from affirming?

I imagine you're up on the scientific literature better than me. But if the numbers of students identifying as TG rose approx. 800%-1200% c.2020--(generalizing; I forget exactly)--and are receding again significantly, that it might be true that conditions can be manufactured?

Can you imagine, that along with legitimate instances of extreme dysphoria (or however u may characterize legitimate feelings) that there may be 10s or 100s, or even 1000s, of temporarily dysphoric, or just gay, students/children, wrongly fast-tracked into transition?
