Yeah. I'm not sure why I acted as though they were separate. Maybe I'm absorbing online anti-Semites' ideas of what it means to be "White" and "Jewish".
Then again, if race is a social construct, it's not more false than any other conception.

Scratch that, the author was Jewish: https://en.everybodywiki.com/Suicide_note_(book)#Author

And now you're what? Broken and submissive to authority?

Unless you're being facetious?
I think I can't tell when people are joking very well.

What is it?

Is it really worth it?

I highly doubt a bit of sesame oil now and then is going to kill me. Where did this idea come from?

@thatguyoverthere
You think there are no bad tactics, only bad targets. I disagree.
If you think tyranny is acceptable against people who aren't like you but isn't acceptable against people who are like you, then you are fundamentally a hypocrite and I will cheer when the tables are turned.

Who would determine if the would-be adult has passed the test?

They don't say they are literally the same. They say there is something in common with both of them: that they both believe irrational things and should update their beliefs. The difference is one of degree, not of kind.
The problem is not that they have the wrong *targets* (creationists instead of just mentally ill people). The problem is that they have the wrong *tactics* (forcing medical interventions on unwilling participants).

@Laird_Dave
Telling me to "shut the fuck up" is not going to work. In fact, I'd be very surprised if it worked on anyone but the most weak-minded.
Try arguing your case using logic for a change.
@risa

@risa Maybe I was being too nitpicky. I'll look that up.

@risa I see:
- "Bathroom/locker room bans and youth sports bans" (https://edition.cnn.com/2021/04/15/politics/anti-transgender-legislation-2021/index.html), not a survival issue. although it may be concerning that governments are getting involved in sports in that way; aren't sports usually regulated/run by nongovernmental bodies? not American btw.
- "Bans/restrictions on transgender medical care" (Ibid), a civil liberties issue, but not a survival issue
- "Bans on gender-affirming health care for minors" (Ibid) I think is actually a good thing. Children should be protected from sex and sex-adjacent things.
- "One Iowa bill requires that parents give written consent for teachers to discuss gender identity while their children are present in the classroom", I don't see how that's bad. Parents should have more control over their own kids education than politicians and teachers that aren't related to them.
- "another stipulates that any curriculum that includes gender identity must include “the potential harm and adverse outcomes of social and medical gender interventions.”", an unequivocal good thing if you ask me. Not sure why I would need to explain it.
That's all I have energy for. I hope I've covered what you wanted me to respond to. It wasn't easy, since you didn't actually state what your point was.

Even people who merely have a passing interest in psychiatry are fucking control freaks.

They could just pretend not to be able to though

@realcaseyrollins
They certainly act like they care

@matrix
Maybe they just care more about those things
@realcaseyrollins

I wish civil libertarianism was more popular.
People seem to either want tyranny in one direction or tyranny in another.

@thatguyoverthere
How would you implement such "pause" without preventing those who would not otherwise regret their decision from doing what they want?
