Beto Does it Again

This whole trans thing is tragic, sad, and dangerous--to the trans person.
I've known one before. He/she killed himself.
My wife has an acquaintance with a teenage daughter who is leaning that way. She tried to kill herself (thankfully unsuccessfully). These people need help, not our judgment, but our help. They need serious professional help. Regular kids should most definitely not be encouraged to go down that painful route. At the end of that tragic road is often a suicide. Some of these self-appointed "do-gooders" are actually "do-badders" who are leading (relatively) innocent youth over a tall cliff. I would not want to be them answering for it.

Well said. The idea that the "good guys" are those saying teens should mutilate their junk or breasts and make themselves permanently infertile because they are "gender confused" is insane.
I suppose a child trying to commit suicide begs the question of why. It's the chicken or the egg in this situation. Are they just that despondent in general and go trans as a way out of their current state of mind? Or are they despondent because they are trans and society "hates" them?
They are despondent in general and being a social animal, pick up on whatever is being said about such things. Today it’s trans, tomorrow it could be something else. Misery loves company and we have some miserable folks wanting to transform society to make themselves feel better. Unfortunately, confused kids (and enabling adults) are being used and don’t know it, much like the TDS folks can’t see they are being manipulated by the swamp folks in DC and their media lackeys.
I think they're despondent and confused. Something is wrong upstairs, and frankly I'm sympathetic to them. However, I do not see how reordering society and language and physically mutilating them to validate their delusion helps anyone.
Yes, the remedy to what is wrong "upstairs" is somewhat draconian depending on the age of the child. I read an article that indicated the treatments are "evidenced-based." I'm not in the room obviously when they are gathering evidence but you have to wonder. It's case by case. We are not the parents. If the parents are on board then what did they see in all the years they raised their child? What is the evidence that is scientifically validated?
These are rhetorical questions.
But I would ask them this: If the death penalty should be banned because of the possibility of even one innocent person being executed then should mutilation be banned FOR CHILDREN if the possibility exists that our evidence is actually wrong?

Children are not old enough to consent to sex, so why would they be old enough to consent to a sex change mutilation? And why would a parent be able to order this sort of procedure before the child has even had a fair chance to grow, develop, and figure himself or herself out? That doesn’t make any sense.
Does that happen often?
I've always felt that anti-bully campaigns is what schools should prioritize versus "teaching" and/or indoctrinating kids about certain things in life that are "different."
Be kind. The golden rule. Mind your own business.
Stuff like that is universal.
I don’t know how much that happens anymore. But back in the early eighties, boys that were suspected of being gay would get their asses kicked hard. Heck, in Jr High and even early High School, anyone significantly different from the norm (in whatever way) would sometimes have to stand up and fight the bullies or get beaten. Either that, or be tougher than the bullies themselves or friends with guys who were.
There’s a certain type of a$$hole that just relishes picking on and beating up (if they can) kids that are different. Trans kids would most definitely fit within their victim profile.
He's an uncompromising fanatic. His mind is corrupted by mindless logic that has no end; like all Liberals. The egomania of being a progressive manifests itself in sanctimony that is anarchistic in it's pact with total victory. There is to be no union of compromise; they must control our minds or else we must be eliminated.
For starters, when it goes against every normal sense of logic or common sense, I'm not going to automatically defer to medical experts. They showed what political actors they were during COVID, and with the woke takeover of medical schools, I wouldn't expect their credibility to be restored anytime soon.
Second, if a kid is really this confused, I think we need to start looking at the parents and others who may have been a weird influence on them. I wouldn't take a child away from his parents for this, but I would suggest that they rethink some things. If you're taking your kids to drag queen shows and then your kid ends up confused about his gender, you shouldn't be shocked.
Third, I think the kid needs mental health, not medical transitioning. I'm not a fan of even parents forcing medical care of their kids that has permanent implications on children if it's not preventing death or disability. This gets me laughed at, but I'm not even a big fan of infant circumcision. That sounds silly, but who the hell am I to decide that my kid can't have foreskin when he's a grown man?
I agree that these things (social issues intertwined with health issues) have become politicized beyond repair. I have Leukemia as I've mentioned and there are no political opinions floating around about that. Nobody is creating confusion in my mind. I'm being treated and everyone seems to be on the same page.
I will never believe they can measure our self-identity from a gender standpoint. But you tell me; is there something in our DNA that clearly identifies our invisible silent self-image as a boy or a girl? I'm not talking about chromosomes, but instead on the level of pure consciousness. Do I feel like a man because my parents raised me that way? Is it because I have been spurred by society to pursue what it means to be a man? Did I subconsciously know I was a boy when I was born and it manifested itself in some sort of unconscious drive that is analogous to breathing or our heart beating? I can't answer that. Maybe that's what they mean by not being able to define what being a woman is.
I asked my wife about it the other day (and her son is a trans-woman; her/she/they revealed this to my wife three years ago. She's 25 years old now). She wasn't sure how to answer it. At the same time, she's not sitting around thinking about these deep philosophical things like us West Mall Socrates acolytes. Instead she's thinking about her career, dinner (she loves to cook) and how to make her family happy (which she does in an amazing way). I asked her if she liked being a woman. She said yes and she doesn't want to be a man, but wants to enjoy all the things that men enjoy. For instance, she's in sales and they had a golf tournament for their customers. She doesn't play golf. So they were wanting her to hostess or drive the beer cart. It's a little thing but the girl things were thrown at her. So it makes her want to not be seen as a girl in that situation. But it doesn't mean she's not a girl or doesn't think like one, whatever the hell that is because in the end, who the F knows what women think! Ha... I said that and she gave me the usual smirk.
That was a ramble but in the end, the mind is a tricky thing. And to drill way down into our core being and self-image is not something that science can measure. At least that's my take on it. And by extension. permanent alterations to hormones and the human body would seem to be very controversial when we're talking about elementary school children.
By,
this thread answers your questions. Apparently suicide isn’t higher when you control the other variables.
I know. Too lazy to go back and read it all. I apologize for that.
I glanced through that tweet thread and it does create some interesting thoughts. Is it possible that they are gay but want to be a girl instead of being a gay male? They want it to look, feel and be traditional (heavy irony there) and not man-man or girl-girl homosexuality.
By the way, my wife's trans-daughter is legally married to a woman.
Yes, that was the leading theory before gender theory took hold. The other reason is mental disorders that the thread talked about.
Cancel Culture Comes for Beto O’Rourke
Comal ISD announced that they will not host Beto campaign
After location upheaval, Beto O'Rourke makes stop in Comal County
Bad day for Beto in Comal County--event spaces cancelled him. some under pressure. He ultimately had to do his speaking event in a private home. I think that's ashamed. Give the guy a chance to make his case and let him speak--whether you like him, or don't.

Beto O’Rourke calls for expanding casino, sports gambling in Texas
Beto finally found his winning issue.
I agree with Beto here.
Democrat Beto O’Rourke said if he’s elected governor he’s “inclined to support” expanding casino gambling and legal sports betting in Texas,the first time he’s publicly addressed the issue on the trail.
During a press conference in Dallas, O’Rourke said Texans are already going across state lines for casino gambling and sports betting and Texas is losing out on billions of dollars in revenues that are going to other states.
Currently, the Texas Constitution prohibits the expansion of gambling, a provision that current Gov. Greg Abbott has supported and defended in the past.
If Beto would ditch his anti-firearms ramblings and run on these gambling issues, he might have a fair chance.

Re: the leaked SCOTUS draft concerning the Roe opinion:
As of Tuesday morning, Gov. Greg Abbott did not publicly voice his opinion on the draft decision; however, his Democratic gubernatorial opponent Beto O’Rourke took to social media Monday night when news of the leak was beginning to circle Twitter. “Every woman deserves the freedom to make their own decisions about their body, health care, and future,” O’Rourke said.

Yes. Too bad that clump of cells that gets removed, dismembered, and thrown in the trash isn't her body.
It is its own body and being.
What is a "woman" and did he believe the same thing on vaccines and masks? Asking for a friend.
As the playwright said:
"Consistency is the hobgoblin of simple minds..."
Or something like that...
