  • I think there was another comment that presented what most likely happened a little clearer and made much more sense. I think I can agree with. It mentioned breast reduction surgery which is already done on people 16 years old not relating to trans stuff. If that’s the case, it makes much more sense to me.

    I was mostly pointing out the odd fact that the original argument was that there wasn’t surgery done on minors and then proceeded to support it by saying surgery was done on them while they were a minor.

    While I understand the suicide aspect, there are alternatives to managing those kinds of issues that don’t involve surgery.




  • So they want to keep people poor and stupid to control them? I can’t really argue for or against that right now as I’m not that conservative myself.

    To my understanding, Republican / Conservative tend to be closely aligned. Republican tends to favor more local control and decision making while puts the direct citizens in more control of their lives. That has a side effect of sometimes a local population might make what’s perceived as silly or stupid decisions, but it’s what they want.

    The other side tends to go for big government with more control because to enact a lot of the policies they want done, they need that power and control. It also has a side effect of sometimes placing inefficient policies that don’t take into account specific circumstances in a particular area. A possible example would be banning motors running on gas in a rural area with no infrastructure to support that kind of change. Not to mention the hindrance on those doing important jobs like food production.



  • Thank you for taking the time responding. I appreciate your thoroughness. If that’s the case with the surgeries, than it doesn’t seem as bad considering it’s the age limits that are regularly there.

    From what I’ve experienced, people just say I’m wrong, not explain themselves. Most people in the comment section seem to have painted me as outright evil and done the exact same thing.

    I do have some reservations due to how I see the trans movement portraying themselves as a whole. I’m being called for completely falling for the propaganda, but that goes both ways. For example, I’m pretty sure there isn’t sufficient evidence to prove puberty blockers are completely reversible. That would take at least maybe 10 years to get good initial data, but it would probably need to be a long term study that goes even longer.

    Back to my original point I was making, there are extremes on both sides I think are absolutely crazy. Just as you point out that the information from the side I lean on more definitely has some ridiculous things stated, same is for the other side. Unfortunately, those are the loudest usually.

    I just want to reiterate how much I appreciate the time you took to write out your response. It was refreshing to see.









  • There was a period of time where I was too lazy to re-hook up my main PC to everything. I just hooked up my Steam Deck instead via a USB C hub.

    It was then that I realized I don’t really use my main gaming PC anymore. I just play on the Steam Deck and almost everything else is just general use most of the time.

    Since then, I found I still prefer to do some tinkering on a way the Steam Deck isn’t very good at, so I been thinking of selling off my PC and buying a capable laptop to have that extra ease as I found I don’t need the extra performance anymore.
