Maris has sent me the following PM and is taking exception to me saying his post was vile and hateful. I have no interest in debating this with him. If anyone else would like to calmly and in a noninsulting manner explain why his post is not accurate it would be greatly appreciated.
WTF? If there's anything vile and hateful in my post please highlight the specific wording you are referring to and I will happily edit my post. I have made this request before and feel it's the least I deserve from someone who publicly accused me of being vile and hateful, then blocked me from responding.
Seriously, does anyone on this board have the ability to read a post without mentally-inserting secret meanings and "between the lines" assumptions they want to attribute to me and others?
1. To my knowledge, everything I wrote referring to Gender Dysphoria is thoroughly supported by mental healthcare professionals. (I fully support public funding to provide mental healthcare for every American Citizen who seeks it out.)
2. The alarming rise of sexual assaults inflicted upon children since the sudden onset of mixed restrooms in public schools is well-documented by criminal cases recently in the news. (Nowhere did I suggest these crimes had any relation to Gender Dysphoria. Clearly, they are the predictable result of removing the concept of separate restrooms for separate sexes.
I have absolutely nothing against people struggling with their concept of identity or sexuality. We all struggle with our place in the world at some time in our lives, mostly in childhood and young adulthood.
Those with mental illnesses struggle horribly and deserve far better treatment than to be scooped up into political warfare by criminally-manipulative opportunists seeking personal attention to make themselves feel important.
