Pope Francis Calls for Civil Union Laws for Same-sex Couples [washingtonpost.
tracycoyle comments on Oct 21, 2020:
I don't think he should have done so - it is stepping into secular society. If he can't support it based on his religion, as head of that religion, he has no business stating that opinion. There, I said it twice. Because civil union laws are ONLY for the purpose of legalizing same sex marriage... Anyway, he is the forerunner for the Anti-Christ so anything that comes out of his mouth is going to be anti-faith...

tracycoyle comments on Aug 25, 2022:
I abhor violence. However, sometimes we are left with no choice. As to this - stupid violence is the worst kind. People like Taylor-Greene need not be made martyr's for their beliefs. However corrupt and vile those beliefs are because it gives credence that they are doing 'righteous' behavior, killed for their beliefs. Terrorists are killed for their beliefs too - so, the killing is irrelevant. As are the beliefs. Just the desire to make OTHERS live the way YOU believe they should is the foundation of tyranny. Killing over beliefs is wrong - killing tyrants? No choice. PS: When the DOJ executes a raid on someone without actual evidence of a crime, that is different when someone is swatted - because the DOJ is an institution for the better good.

Fauci has been wrong so often in the last 5 months that listening to the 'most prominent US health expert' is like listening to Baghdad Bob. If someone said 2 weeks ago that the anti-lockdown protests were dangerous, but the current spat are more important - then yes, they LIED about the risks.

Trans Gets EMBARRASSED! Couldn’t Answer This SIMPLE Question! [youtube.
tracycoyle comments on Apr 19, 2023:
1. Biological sex: the chromosomes that determine 'male' and 'female' in dimorphic species 2. Physical sex: the physical gonads and body structures that indicate 'male' and 'female' 3. Gender: the psychological foundation based on an awareness of 1 and 2. Gender is NOT a social construct. Gender expression and roles CAN be. Gender is BIOLOGICALLY based upon the dimorphic poles - it's expression is a spectrum from female: very feminine to very masculine; to male: very masculine to very feminine. A very feminine MALE can still be a man. A very masculine FEMALE still can be a woman. A mature human female distills the nature of a woman to her biology - ignoring all the inherent nature and characteristics that make her a woman. A mature human male distills the nature of a man to his biology - ignoring all the inherent nature and characteristics that make him a man. We are MORE than our biology. We are not bound by our instincts. We can exceed natures limitations. Notes: intersex occurs in about 2% of the population; 1 of every 33 children are born with a defect; the most common chromosomal abnormalities occur in about 1 of every 400 births. 6.4/100,000 girls are born with XY chromosomes; 5/100,000 boys are born with XX chromosomes. Reliance upon chromosomal sex would suggest we need to carry papers with us to present anyone who questions our sex. And finally: what level of violence are people willing to accept to enforce conformity with established beliefs of what is acceptable male/female behavior? Because we get violence now. You or others might dismiss it. And I was not hospitalized, but was physically attacked (once on a crowded subway train in chicago during rush hour) almost a dozen times. VERBALLY attacked more than 20 times. All in my first 2 years of transition in the late 80s. You might rightly abhor violence, condemn it, but by making our treatment illegal, you condemn us.

Can true conservatism and true classical liberalism exist within the same person? Why or why not?
tracycoyle comments on Jun 20, 2020:
Libertarians occasionally argue they are the inheritors of the Classical Liberals - but I would disagree. At least as they are formulated with regard to a political ideology. There are lots of similarities but it comes down to the role of government. The Classical Liberal sees it as necessary for the protection of individual rights, the Classical Conservative sees it as required to maintain SOCIETY, and the Libertarian hates it. Over-simplification maybe, but no incorrect. Note there is no where in this that the current Liberal resides...which is as the Society organized by the State. The individual is despised by them.

> Until the day I die, my body will regard the vagina as a wound; as a result, it will require regular, painful attention to maintain. This is what I want, but there is no guarantee it will make me happier. In fact, I don’t expect it to. That shouldn’t disqualify me from getting it. … > > I still want this, all of it. I want the tears; I want the pain. Transition doesn’t have to make me happy for me to want it. First, getting my ears pierced resulted in a 'wound' that the body eventually recognized as 'ok'. And her characterization of 'painful attention' would surprise most women given intercourse is often quite pleasurable - unless you are a radical feminist that thinks all intercourse is rape...<ugh>. Her expectation that the surgery will not make her happier is THE NUMBER ONE REASON she should not HAVE THE SURGERY. And a therapist, having heard this statement, would, should, NOT be recommending surgery. Transition should fundamentally improve the mental wellbeing of the patient, even if the process is difficult. Failure to do that is a significant red flag to transition and certainly a major reason to avoid surgical intervention.

> They receive double mastectomies at age 13 and hysterectomies at age 16. Boys get castration and penectomies at age 16 to 17. The result in both cases is sterilization. I am unaware of ANY surgery prior to 16 in the United States. And the number of cases under 18 is relatively few - and often with strong reasons to support it rather than JUST desire/want/need. As to the sterilization - that is one of the things therapists seek to discuss with transitioning patients, the acknowledgement that the process results in sterilization. I had to not just acknowledge, but understand that in the end, there would be no offspring from me. I DO question whether a pre-20 person can really understand that, even as I acknowledge that we put guns in the hands of 18 year olds and point them at other humans....16-18 is not too young to at least have the discussions.

Transgender Girl Scout Leader Under Investigation After Dominatrix Photo is Discovered
tracycoyle comments on Nov 26, 2021:
I hope there are other more damning photos not included in the article, because if that is all they got, they don't have anything. That said, theoretically, scout leaders should be role models in the community and for their charges. Given the state of many communities, I don't think she is too off center - obviously a center well to the Left. Given what I have learned about the men, actual community male leaders, that I grew up with - she is vanilla pudding. Adultery, porn, embezzlement, wife and child abuse were just a sampling of the things that were kept hidden in my lower/middle class neighborhood. And I know it was worse in the more upscale neighborhood nearby. So, the fact that it might be in the open - digital photography and the internet making sharing of kink WAY EASIER - doesn't mean things have changed over the last 40 years. Ok, maybe trans stuff is more open. But remember, I transitioned in the late 80s, and I was dealing with my issues (in the family) back in the early 70s.

Phoenix officer brutalized woman during minor traffic stop, then took her to jail [theguardian.
tracycoyle comments on Jul 15, 2020:
I think the commentary with the footage mischaracterizes the incident in several ways. I think she WAS uncooperative, that always presents a risk. I think there was no CYA in the sense they were trying to cover UP anything, but in stead making sure all the t's were crossed and i's dotted. She got out of the vehicle as he walked up. NO ONE is supposed to leave their vehicle unless asked and she should have had her ID ready - but she said she DIDN'T HAVE any ID. Both are red flags. If she had behaved, there might have been an explanation and a warning - she escalated the situation to her detriment.

tracycoyle comments on Jun 10, 2020:
If I may offer a different approach than 'moral' arguments. Individual right/liberty. Under 18 is not an adult. They can NOT consent - even the really, REALLY, mature ones. But, the individual right to their pursuit of happiness is inalienable. What happens between two consenting adults is a function of their individual liberty/right. Government (even society) has no business getting in between them. I don't have to claim a moral position, a religious position, hell, even a medical position. Individual liberty/right defines MY acceptance or opposition to a behavior. Two 15 yr olds are going to experiment - and to an extent, depending on the genders and what they are going to experiment about - let them. That does NOT mean that a 20yr old can 'experiment' with a 15 yr old. And I really hope those 15 yr olds have responsible parents backing them up. And no, a 15 yr old boy/girl should not be arrested and charged as a rapist (if the 15 yr old girl/boy was a willing participant). Note I said willing participant, not a consenting partner. This example (and the almost infinite variations) needs intelligent, compassionate, adults. It does not need a rigid legal system. But there is no right, period, that gives an adult sexual access to a child. I don't care what their reasoning is. Those that want to change the age of maturity can bring it up with God. I'll stand by 18 (knowing that few people are actually fully mature before 28-30).
Transgender Issue Generates Massive Income To Clinics That Support Them 🌈🤑 - Dr.
tracycoyle comments on Mar 24, 2023:
The estimate of value for surgery in the US for trans patients is estimated at $620m - $1.9b. In country that spends almost a trillion on medical care, this is very small. Taking into consideration my surgery, and hormones, I probably spend less than 1/10th a percent of what someone with diabetes spends for their meds and medical care. Over our lifetimes. And my situation is not likely to kill me or cause great complicatons later in life. Understand, that the above estimate was for ALL transcare.

Growing Body Of Evidence Shows ‘Social Influence’ Is Causing Teens To Undergo Sex Changes
tracycoyle comments on Nov 25, 2022:
I think the evidence is circumstantial, but given there has been no other factor offered that would explain the significant change, it is probably accurate. Given ANY questioning of the situation is shouted down, or rejected out of hand, gives further suggestion of it's validity. How about creating requirements that USED to exist by agreement but which were abandoned: require therapy for a period of time before drugs. Required continued therapy for a period after drugs before surgeries. BTW, all the screeching about "radical surgeries being performed on minors" should know how MANY have been done. According to a study of 300,000 transgender minors between 12 and 18, there were 1,100 between 2016 and 2019. Only 20% were on hormones prior to surgery suggesting only 20% were in therapy - though that is only by inference as the detail was not questioned. And only 143 were done on children under 16. We don't know the REASONS they were done. Glad people are paying attention to our issue - too bad they are demanding the WRONG response.

tracycoyle comments on Jul 6, 2020:
There are always good reasons for laws that infringe upon the rights of the few, or even the many. Our politicians (and many others) have decided that 'for the good of the community' overrides all other factors. While I respect that there are people that can not tolerate fireworks well, there are lots that are still respectful and seek to have their respect for their country (or just having a good time). I know someone that used to have quite the neighborhood show - they paid for it, everyone (mostly) enjoyed it and they and their family policed the neighborhood the next day. Did they get ALL the debris? No. But they made a good effort and people respected them for it. Yep, it is just one day - one day that many of us who have served consider amongst the most important of celebrations - to acknowledge that without it, all the rest may not be able to be held. Just because a law exists, doesn't mean it is a good, or even just, law.

Fortunately, for the person I know, the dysphoria was gender based and the process was not short-circuited and she went through years of therapy and life transition to ensure surgery was the correct option. I still support medical transitioning prior to 18, but STILL DEMAND a return to the old processes to ensure the right people are being helped, and the wrong people get the help they need.

There doesn’t need to be dysphoria, they do not need to medical transition (usually), and they believe the assertion of an identity is sufficient cause to require society to recognize their identification. > > There are transsex people that believe gender Is fluid, and transgender people that believe it is immutable.

Nor were these two previous “consensual” acts statutory rape, because neither of the two had reached the age where that law would be applicable.
Biden, in LGBTQ interview, vows to pass Equality Act in first 100 days
tracycoyle comments on Oct 29, 2020:
I have a problem with the 'gender identity' aspects of the Act - nominally, identity is something that is self proclaimed, but leaving it solely to the basis of self proclamation leaves open the probability of someone abusing the designation - as a matter of fact, I believe it has happened repeatedly already. Also, in private enterprise, I accept that there might be religious objections in organizations in which religion is a dominant factor in operations. And yes, that means there are some organizations that make a religious aspect a principle in their operations. However, it should be noted - and I do repeatedly to people that raise 'religion' as a basis for the basis of laws, or the need for an excerpt to a law on religious grounds - that Islam can make the same objections to laws we consider sacrosanct now...like forcing a business to provide different accommodations to women and men. So, the later objection (the religious exemption) is less an issue for me than the 'claim of identity by proclamation', which can and is and will be abused. So, while Trump's effort to make countries recognize and protect homosexuals, and his efforts to support same sex marriage (while Obama and Biden and Clinton all opposed it - and of course Bill Clinton signed into law DOMA and DADT), Biden seems to believe that a man who identifies as a woman should be allowed to compete against other women - even prior to any surgery and post-puberty. I find that to be a significant problem and therefore his position is untenable to me.

This was abuse by the mother. Even if Jazz was transsexual. The surgeon (marcie bowers) is currently the head of WPATH, the organization formed to help transsexuals but now has completely erased the term/diagnosis from it's standards of care. The colon use was state of the art in the 1990s, it was not in 2015. Jazz's emotional problems are not solely the result of surgical issues - but the relationship with mother and her very public childhood.
Considering today's total craziness of the world, I believe that only "cloud-type" ...

It is difficult to recreate a social environment once it is left to whither on the vine. Discussions often need controversy and what is left here are those that, generally IMO, either have similar viewpoints, or there is so much controversy that people are burnt out on it. In the USA, division is so deep, that only when you can get two (or a small group) of people willing to sit down and hash things out, do we find out, yeah, not so much. But media and politicians and even activist groups THRIVE on controversy and so seek to perpetuate it. No one trusts the other side to be good faith debaters, or people willing to see a middle ground. I put up 50 viewpoints here, many have been on topics controversial in society over the last 2 decades and got very few comments and no debate. BEFORE this site got abandoned. People have to be willing to engage. Most, are 'social media mavens', the attention span of gnats.

I am not generally opposed to the concept of peerage, as long as it holds little control over the average person's day to day IF THEY so oppose it. Many a commoner, citizen, of the United Kingdom are quite happy with the Monarchy and if that is what they choose, so be it. I, who am not bound by such, have no ill against what another willing accepts for themselves, or even their posterity. Burke made a case for the monarchy and Paine destroyed it. So has time and understanding. But traditions are hard to break, and sometimes broken for the wrong reasons. I think destroying the British Monarchy would, now, be done for the wrong reasons.

tracycoyle comments on Nov 5, 2020:
I posted on this video elsewhere, but will add my comment to add to the discussion here: 1. Blackstone and many others put 'viability' as the point where things change with regard to rights of the mother and child. RvW also used a similar set of arguments. That is where I stand - no abortion post viability unless the pregnancy risks the mother's life. Incest and rape can usually be covered prior to that 5/6th month period of pregnancy. 2. Amy Coney Barrett and the SCOTUS can't change RvW unless they are dealing with a new court case that has to come out of the Appellate Courts, which requires two cases of similar facts, from different Districts decided differently. I also think the privacy issue is a red herring in the decision.
To me, beauty is something objective.
tracycoyle comments on Nov 30, 2020:
Because we have been, in general, socialized in similar ways, our appreciation of things tends to be consistent with others, yet it is still subject to our particular biases. We can not, generally, reach a benchmark of 'beauty' that applies in all similar cases.

tracycoyle comments on Jun 15, 2022:
This is a load of crap. Maybe that is what happened to that person, in some foreign place with no standards and no medical review. But I am sure you can find people that have had ALL KINDS of elective surgery that when botched, is PROOF that all such surgeries are destructive. People CHOOSE these surgeries. They must go through years of hrt, therapy, and then are given DETAILED descriptions and risks associated with them. IF then, they regret (and generally, best estimates are less than 3% do), they want others to bear the blame for what has happened - maybe they should, but that doesn't change the benefits for those that need such surgeries.

Donald Trump revives a strange attack on Ron DeSantis- [redstate.com]
tracycoyle comments on Mar 14, 2023:
I think Trump in 2015-2016 only had to articulate his positions to make his GOP opponents look bad, and the DEM opponents look worse. In 2020, Trump's failures (at the hand of the GOP establishment) made him look ineffectual (despite some major wins). NOW, he has to nit-pick and blow it out of proportion to make his opponents look bad - and that make him sound more like a whiny little girl, than a leader.
Getting my COVID vaccine today.
tracycoyle comments on Dec 23, 2020:
Vaccines create the conditions to cause your body to create antibodies for that particular bug - but! Your body may not create a lot, or do it slowly, or may even not work because the vaccine is "dead" and your body recognizes it as such, which are all why vaccines tend to be somewhere between 20 and 80% effective. The idea that a vaccine is 95% effective is VERY unusual. So, once your body has antibodies, the infection can still get in, it is just that your body doesn't have to go through all the motions of creating a correct antibody - the vaccine helps speed up the process. But it still takes time for the body to ramp up production which can happen slower than the virus spread. And that process can still allow for symptoms to arise.

One of the most difficult things we do is to transition in a job. And if students bully, a teacher, there is little they can do depending on 'name calling'. I don't excuse her a second - if she said what was reported, and removing the guns, a good idea. And @iThink....yea, a transwoman pre-op still has that useless, chunk of flesh and will die with XY chromosomes. How nice of you to point that out....
McConnell unloads on Trump: 'Morally responsible' for provoking mob | TheHill
tracycoyle comments on Feb 14, 2021:
Moral responsibility ( and I don't think he was or is) is not the basis for our laws. It is a dangerous proposition. X begets Z ignores Y does not work. And making an exception because of high office, or because of a related act, creates inconsistent applications. The other side: none of the people arrested were charged with insurrection. So, if Trump were a private citizen, neither would he have been, right? Speech can incite, but the criteria is pretty specific - Trump didn't meet those criteria. So, it was unConstitutional because he was no longer in office, but even his terms failed to meet the criteria. We had dozens of lawsuits about the election dismissed in the same way as 'unConstitutional', never reaching the merits. Assuming therefore there were merits is incorrect. If he were still in office, the same acquittal because his free speech was not, did not, meet the requirements of the term 'incite'. As the old saying goes: a prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich; anyone can be sued. Neither means, of themselves, anything. Moral culpability is a dangerous legal claim. Go, and sin no more.

I agree. I started transition in the 80's. That first year was HELL. A truly STEEP learning curve. Don't wish it on anyone, but think it's necessary step in life. I agree also on 'trans-ition', being a temporary state. I call myself a woman. Not a transwoman. Not a transgender. I don't even like noting I am 'post-op' but do so in discussions like this to clarify.

tracycoyle comments on Jul 21, 2020:
The problem with 'down grading' posts is that it becomes a way to silence differing viewpoints. Using a comment count to 'promote' a post seems more useful. I used TweetDeck on Twitter early in Twitter's existance to filter the, at the time, huge flow of tweets. It worked well, till Twitter bought and basically destroyed all the supporting apps. It made Twitter unmanageable. At the current and trending size of IDW/Slug, I don't see a problem with the home page, but it could become unmanagable if it grew expontentially quickly.

So, 12% of the boys remained gender dsyphoric. I agree the prevalence of people calling themselves trans is way out of proportion to reality and historical 'norms'. A recent study of high school students found 11% claiming to be transgender. That is 100 times the historical numbers. ***BUT*** that doesn't mean WE don't actually exist.
