B402, Fuck off with your conservative bleat. It's a big deal because of your conservative culture war creation. The sexual continuum is a biological fact and your conservative camp's inability to cope with it is at the basis of the unhealthy extremist controversy your far-right has created. Your side's lack of realistic policy has resulted in your manufactured culture war. What else to do your Rufo .. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=171727736 .. said. Administrators and athletes were handling it with little relative fuss until your rabid anti-trans zealots stirred the pot.

conix, Bollocks. Who with any sound feelings of humanity would deny life fulfillment for those science now understands are, or have been, unfairly judged to be either all male or all female at birth. Gene science has grown to clearly reveal many millions do not fall into either one of the outmoded purely male-female classifications. Who. Basically only individuals so fearful of change they refuse to examine their bigoted ways.
P - Guarantee in 20 years the only ones bleating as you do now are those who are anti-gender identity zealots. Bigotry. Inclusion. Your choice.

not revealing enough about your interest in the topic you have ignored virtually every post to you questing your positions. For example:

The Battle Over Gender Therapy
"Laura Edwards-Leeper and transgender people"
More teenagers than ever are seeking transitions, but the medical community that treats them is deeply divided about why — and what to do to help them.
[...]
It was for all these reasons that Leibowitz was selected, in 2017, to be a leader of a working group of seven clinicians and researchers drafting a chapter on adolescents for a new version of guidelines called the Standards of Care .. https://www.wpath.org/soc8 .. to be issued by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH). The guidelines are meant to set a gold standard for the field of transgender health care, and this would be the first update since 2012. What Leibowitz and his co-authors didn’t foresee, when they began, was that their work would be engulfed by two intersecting forces: a significant rise in the number of teenagers openly identifying as transgender and seeking gender care, and a right-wing backlash in the United States against allowing them to medically transition, including state-by-state efforts to ban it.
[...]
Leibowitz and his colleagues knew these were delicate issues. They were deeply troubled when right-wing politicians grasped the unsettled nature of these matters — which barely registered for most Americans 10 years ago — and turned them into political dynamite. In 2019, right-wing groups, the Heritage Foundation and Family Policy Alliance, which fought for many years against same-sex marriage, held a meeting on “Protecting Children From Sexualization” that covered “controversial medical treatments to treat gender dysphoria,” which is defined as a form of distress and is also a psychiatric diagnosis. Model legislation followed. Organizations like Family Policy Alliance helped state legislators draft a ban on gender-related medical treatment for anyone under age 18. Arkansas passed the first such ban in April 2021, and over the next months, similar bills were introduced in 18 other Republican-led state legislatures.

How the far-right is turning feminists into fascists
[...]
Schevers researches TERFs because she used to be one. She’s written extensively about being sucked into a cult-like “detransition” movement .. https://aninjusticemag.com/detransition-as-conversion-therapy-a-survivor-speaks-out-7abd4a9782fa?gi=6d63c58e88b6 .. which convinced young transmasculine people that their dysphoria was caused by misogyny and could only be cured by radical feminism. She has been my most patient guide through the world of organized transphobia, having previously spoken to me about the rise of anti-trans activism targeting doctors and gender clinics; every conversation is a whirlwind of names, dates, times and bizarre blog posts from TERF havens, illuminating the underbelly of an obsessive and increasingly dangerous movement.

TERFs were always “terrible people,” Schevers told me, but the groups she first encountered did have some familiarity with feminist thought—and most thought of themselves as progressive or leftist. Then came DGR, with a whole different set of prior assumptions.

DGR members were what Schevers calls “eco-fascists”; they argued for violent action that would cause a mass die-off of humanity in order to save the environment. They initially recruited from anarchist and environmental groups. According to a timeline put together by researcher Lee Leveille .. https://healthliberationnow.com/2021/07/05/the-mechanisms-of-tanon-where-it-came-from/ , DGR fractured in 2012 due to a series of controversies involving the transphobia of its founders, Lierre Keith and Derrick Jensen. In 2013, Earth First! joined with DGR co-founder Aric McBay .. https://www.aricmcbay.org/2013/05/14/dgr-and-transphobia/ .. in denouncing them.

"The whole issue is a great example of overboard liberal thinking,,,,Progressives to be exact.....Civil rights has evened out quite well (note Mahers progressaphobia)and now progressives seem to have to go after more extreme things to be outraged about even breaking the point of common sense......"

B402, You haven't a clue what you are talking about. You parrot right-wing propaganda. That's all you fucking do on this issue.
