Transgender Population Size in the United States: a Meta-Regression of Population-Based Probability Samples
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5227946/

Why is this a topic of conversation?

Who cares and why?

I totally get the issue about a full-grown or mature male transforming to a female and then participating in women's sports.

Most people do inherently get that and think it is unfair and should not be allowed. It's the same issue as when they banned female athletes from certain countries who were given hormones to bulk up like men. No one thought that was threat to the political order of the world.

Jorden Peterson put "What Is A Woman" on Twitter today to watch for free.

Many parts of it reminded me of those spots on late night TV shows where the host goes out into the streets and asks the dregs of camera mugging "average Americans" questions that most normal people would know - from which we get the impression that more Americans know there are 3 Stooges than know there are 3 branches of government. Really?

They find the most absurd people to interview and use them as the norm, the Straw "Men", to ridicule and attack, to make their point to the ignorant audience they need to cultivate to disrupt the political system with silly distractions like this movie, and these ideas.

It reminds me of a conversation Jon Stewart had on his show about this issue where speaking to a Texas legislator who passed an anti-transgender bill, asking how many people it would affect. The answer was zero. Zero! Not even one.

Most serious Americans know that the way to fix things is to attack the biggest problems that affect the most people first and work your way down. That is basic project management.

Why is it that the political Right seems to always want to focus, fear-monger and make a big deal over things that really do not affect most Americans?

Why does the political Right not want to participate in solving the really serious problems that affect the most Americans first and focus our national efforts on those issues? It seems like the political Right deliberately work to NOT solve America's problems, and it's been going on for so long that now in graph after graph of the nations of the world America appears at or near the bottom in every metric of citizen well-being.

How long can this Right-wing BS-ing of America continue? What is it based on? How is it sustained, and how many people has it hurt or killed? If I had to guess I'd say many millions.

Are we really a nation divided equally that 50% of Americans are dead-set against solving problems that are killing or making their neighbors miserable or is that just a BS view of the world projected by a media taken over by the same autocrats that own everything else?

Not even 1/2 of one per-cent. Republicans really know how to focus on the major issues don't they?

Nobody is a transgender when Megan Fox is near them.

LOL, I think some women might be tempted.

[–] elcamino (15540) a year ago

Like with the no atheist in a fox hole. There are no transgenders in a fox's hole.

More like a faux hole.

You fail to acknowledge the impact of youth-aged transgender girls on the many girls that they will encounter in the LOCKER ROOMS, BATHROOMS and sporting events. People from all political parties agree that youthful transgender girls should not be allowed to share locker rooms, bathrooms and sporting events with girls.

The article below details the transgender kid in VA who sexually assaulted two girls at two different schools. The first girl had consensual sex with the kid two times in the bathroom on two previous occasions BUT she did say that she was forcibly sodomized on the third occasion. I do believe that NO means NO so prior consensual encounters do not justify a sexual assault.

Hopefully things don't change before I get old and start to have a desire to go sit naked in a ywca girls locker room.

Why does the Political Left deliberately work to CAUSE America's problem?

[–] parkerbot (5308) a year ago

Well if you get riled up about this or that, maybe you won't notice that or this.

[–] tvfan (8319) a year ago

Every time I see one of your posts, you sound like a raving political preacher ranting at the “right” while blindly ignoring anything from the left.

It seems like the political Right deliberately work to NOT solve America's problems

The very same problems caused and created by your lefty cults.

The video explains the who/why is responsible, where it originates/rooted from, and how dark/evil/twisted it is.

Firstly you should be more concerned as to whether what I say is valid.
It is.
Secondly, you are missing my criticisms of the Left.

[–] tvfan (8319) a year ago

You sound like a propagandist.

Your statements are false and invalid; you even guess at some of them:

If I had to guess I'd say many millions.

[–] brux (14666) a year ago

> You sound like a propagandist.

To you. Your comment rests on your own authority which is non-existent.
You speak in broad generalities against people, you cannot engage in discussion
or argument. So, who cares what you think? I sure don't.

1 in 250 allow themselves to be groomed?

Poor kids.

People gotta stop using that "assigned at birth" bullshit. We didn't stand on a conveyor belt while someone was checking which one would be a boy and girl.

[–] rockfly (163) a year ago

stop acting like this is one-sided. The left are the ones that are keeping this in the forefront just as much as the right. This is why politics suck. both sided think they are right about everything and the other side is stupid. Yall are both hateful and short sided. If you want to fly a trans flag then you should expect folks from the other side to hate it. But why fly it to begin with since it represents such a small portion of society? You do it for the conflict because fighting about politics is your sport.

[–] brux (14666) a year ago

First, how is it up to you to tell me how to act? Do you know how a conversation or debate works or not?

> The left are the ones that are keeping this in the forefront just as much as the right.

Only to the extent that the Left is mostly about supporting the rights of the minority, minorities, which are usually the ones that the Right attacks, discriminates against and bullies based on BS. Which I made a factual point about the Attorney General of TX introducing a law into TX that affects no one. Go look it up - the Problem With Jon Stewart and watch the show. Careful though, you might learn something.

Politics sucks because the Right wants it to suck to turn voters away from participation because they know in general their positions are not supported by the public and the more people who are disgusting with politics, the fewer people who vote.

Now you resort to just name calling. That helps to make politics seem to suck - because you on the Right are uninformed, uneducated, insulting and often violent. It's like you have no idea of what it is to be an actual American while you wave the flag and spew insults all the time.

> If you want to fly a trans flag then you should expect folks from the other side to hate it.

Did you read what I wrote or just run your hate programming without any consideration? Obviously the latter since my topic was why does the Right make a huge big deal to whip up their emotions on issues that practically affect very few Americans instead of looking at how to solve the big problems that affect us all.

> You do it for the conflict because fighting about politics is your sport.

I fight in the sense of discuss, argue, debate - which is what politics is supposed to be about.

You seem to only ignore what other people say and make up stuff do you can disagree and call people names. I claim I am the better citizen and American. You would be at home in Iran where you can throw people in prison and torture them.

[–] rockfly (163) a year ago

Ok bubba. I didn't call anyone any name. So what the hell are you talking about? Feel free to read back an find where I called you a name. As a matter of fact I didn't say anything hateful at all. How easily offended are you? lol

I can see that you have fallen victim to tribalism 100 percent. You are exactly the type of person I described in my post. the other side is wrong no matter what and your side is right. Does that sum it up?

Also, tell me what rights that a trans or minority does not have in this country that the rest of us have? Are we not letting drag queens vote or something and I'm not aware?

You are NO BETTER that the right wingers that you despise.
