There seem to be concerns about the link between the herbicide that they use (glyphosate) and autism.
So two things - how is that related to trying to locate the 'cause' of transgender?
And why is it a problem?
(Note - I'm in fundamental disagreement with almost every phrase in BB's post, but I'm just trying to follow this argument through to it's natural conclusion.)
It's not, but it is why it matters.
Because it's an asshole move and they need to fuck off and mind their own business.
Noted.
Hi Kim! I haven't met you yet, but admire your contributions here.
I believe I was called out way up at the beginning of this thread, by somebody who read me as somebody who believes that there is something wrong with the kids who believe they have been born in the wrong body.
I do NOT believe this at all. What my concern was....is that if Toxins are being flooded through America's lands and crops, certain substances, such as MONSANTO are wreaking havoc on our kids HORMONES.
An unbalanced hormonal condition can cause depression, false deep-seated feelings about sexuality...it runs the gamut, trust me.
Unbalanced hormones also cause many health issues. Eventually, the young adult goes to a physician to remedy a troubling condition.
So...the physician finds the patient's hormones are all out of whack and treats them for it.
So...where does that leave the young person who has had her breasts removed...or the young man who has had other "CORRECTIVE" surgery according to the thoughts and feelings they had while they had a medical condition.
A situation like this can really fuck up a persons life.
I just want toxins OUT of the food in this country. That is all.
I very much doubt toxins are at play here. There's plenty of non-western cultures in which trans people are just part of the population. And there's absolutely no way to prove that there's a higher incidence of transgender now than in the past, because you're dealing with entirely different social contexts, which has an inevitable effect on how people express their sexual or gender identities.
Meh...you seem to be an intelligent person. I am always open to others' opinions, thoughts and experiences.
Here's the best test to prove one way or the others' ideas here.
See what shows up in the news...talk shows...medical journals about 5 years from now.
I'm not hoping that you will be found wrong, Kim...or even that I am found right.
I just want these kids to be secure and find support....
...because my beloved granddaughter is one of them.
Yes! That is another issue that is a HUGE problem!
How do we clean this shit up? How do we get this crap back out of our soil?
So...so scary!
Although the problem with any 'toxins' argument is that they're very difficult to prove or disprove.
None of your responses make any sense at all. Quelle surprise.
How is caring about the lives of others an 'asshole move'?
And if 'catering to micro-minorities' isn't related to an over-concern with the 'cause' of transgender, then how can that be 'why it matters'?
I find people's lack of fundamental logic far more alarming than any gender identity they may care to express.
Maybe you should learn to read then.
It's not, forcing others to care about the lives of others is.
Because the two don't have to be related for one of them to matter.
LOL....
Who is 'forcing' anyone to care about the lives of others?
So your response to my question about why the 'cause' of transgender matters was "Because the left finds it imperative to cater to the special feelings of every micro-minority no matter how fuckin' delusional."
If the two things (the 'search for a cause' and 'catering to special feelings etc') aren't related, how is your statement a response to my actual question?
I'm a bit more attuned to this topic because I, like everybody else read that the nomber of kids diagnosed with it in the States increased at an alarming rate. But it just washed over me.
I only paid real attention when my sister (who lives in the States) told me that Two of her same generation friends -foreigners too, who emmigrated to the States- have autistic kids. We haven't heard of any cases from back home.
What the Hell is going on? They keep coming up with all these hypotheses (one of the latest one being that early pregnancy ultrasound might contribute to it). But they aren't able to establish an undisputable link.
.
Oh no! I had not even heard of the ultrasound theory! Either way, once those involved in the medical profession start having kids with these issues....or their own grandchildren start having these out-of-the-ordinary problems....
Then it will suddenly be an issue.
You know how it goes. sad.
The left/SJW's want to put a fucking GUN to everyones head and force them into the transDelusion.
That's right.
Because if the (D)'s weren't out pushing the "Be pro trans, promote it or you're a Nazi!!" message then there would only be like 3 PhD's ' searching for a cause' and nobody would give a shit.
My husband wrote this. A good read.
Over the years, I've seen many books, sermons, letters, shows, etc. filled with ignorance and misogyny when it come to kids who feel born with the opposite gender body or sexual orientation from that which is taught as 'culturally acceptable'. Sexuality is a confusing issue to most people; but, forcing change through denial, "re-education", beatings, ostracism, etc. has rarely worked and, often, led to suicide, estrangement, or other equally bad outcomes.
Science is beginning to see the truth how our neonatal brains influence our sexual identity and sexual orientation. If you know someone who has been through this, you know it is not a matter of 'personal choice'. Please share this scientific article and know that the person shares no guilt in why they are who they are. You just have to love them for who they are.
From Frontiers in Neuroendocrinology's article titled "Sexual differentiation of the human brain: Relation to gender identity, sexual orientation and neuropsychiatric disorders". The highlights of the research state, "► Gender identity and sexual orientation are permanently programmed in the fetal brain. ► Testosterone in the fetal stage determines sexual differentiation of the human brain. ► The degree of genital masculinization does not necessarily reflect that of the brain. ► No evidence indicates social environment affect gender identity or sexual orientation. ► Sex differences in the brain determine sex-specific prevalence of brain disorders."
Here is a link to the abstract on the research,
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0091302211000252
I brought it up, Fala, because your second post made me curious enough to research the topic, and I came across this intriguing fact:
There's this canadian psychologist Dr. Kenneth Zucker who caused a lot of anger among transgender activists when he explained the latest increase in nomber of referrals with this:
"The increasingly convincing link between autism and gender dysphoric kids"
https://www.mercatornet.com/conjuga...etween-autism-and-gender-dysphoric-kids/19232
And he's not one of the idiots or conspiracy theorists.
He's a renown clinical psychologist and professor at the University of Toronto, and former Head of the Gender Identity Service at Toronto's Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH).
(He was later dismissed from that position following pressure from the activists).
I'm not saying that it's necessarily true, but as you implied, one needs to keep an open mind. There's a risk that the immense politicization of the issue might make people dismissive of other factors.
Thanks hsnh. I'm so grateful for your time and research on this for me.
You are the best, doll. I'm exhausted and need to get some sleep....will catch you on here later.
I'll also be taking a look at that link. Thanks so much doll! muah!

I don't think Zucker is a particularly neutral source. And the publication linked to above certainly isn't.
Why wouldn't he be neutral?
He's a psychologist who worked in those particular clinics, and described what he and other psychologists observed.
He's not a politician.
