The New York Slimes,  .
So you are saying that because it wasn't on the front page of your fake news that Mid Engine Mechanic's point is not true, ?[This message has been edited by cliffw (edited 04-30-2022).]

By the way, ... if some man can pretend they are a girl, I can pretend too, and call him a queer man. Should that offend him ? You know, the Q in LGBTQ stands for Queer.
Now they added 2+ to the end, . What does that mean ?

I don't think that what MidEngineManiac is expressing in this thread is any kind of valid "point."
Did you read or scroll through the article in the Toronto Sun that MidEngineManiac posted at the very beginning of this thread? It's actually an article from the Washington Post that the Toronto Sun news organization "copied and pasted."
| quote | | Canada’s national statistics agency documented a sharp generational divide: Younger populations were three to seven times likelier to identify as transgender or nonbinary compared with older ones. |
|
So it's not anywhere as simple as the "1 in 300" statistic that MidEngineManiac wants to "hang his hat on."
I recommend reading the article, or at least scrolling through it to see what might catch your eye.[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 04-30-2022).]

The increase in self identity questions among the young certainly shows the powerful effect of programming by the media and educational institutions.
Do you honestly think this is the result of natural selection?

"Programming"..?
I'm not so self-assured when it comes to talking about the role of media and educational institutions—the educational institutions, especially—in this context. Ask me about a B-61 nuclear bomb or a Sarmat long range ballistic missile and I can give a nice little summary, without any doubts or hesitation. But this? I'm not on such firm ground.
What is "programming" in this context?
Keep in mind that on another currently "hot button" issue involving the nation's K-12 educational institutions, the Conservative activist Christopher Rufo admitted that he wanted to stir up the public about "Critical Race Theory" in a way that—to read his very own words about it—was more inflammatory than informative.
I think part of what is going on here is a reactionary right-wing media "ecosystem" that is programming its readers and viewers to lean towards an exaggerated belief that the nation's K-12 educational institutions are proactively programming children to migrate away from a strictly binary and cisgendered "Male or Female, period" mindset, and migrate towards an expanded LGBTQ(2+) gender space that is unnatural, and that only exists and persists because of pro-LGBTQ(2+) programming by the nation's K-12 educational institutions.

I don't need to prove you wrong, as you already admitted you don't know much about the subject at hand.

The valid point is, 99.666% are getting damn tired of being pushed around by 0.33%. And really, NO those freaks, you are not following my wife into the woman's room. Thats non-negotiable.
Nothing a baseball-bat cant cure.

As a follow-up to my post, and a point of information for you, rinse.
The tagline "prove me wrong" is used by a YouTuber name Steven Crowder, who has a wealth of knowledge about history, the Constitution and the way our government is set up to work. He interviews college students on campus about a subject that he advertises on a signboard at his interview table in a common area on the campus.
The students decide that his topic is something they would like to 'prove him wrong' about, but due to their limited knowledge and bias, fail to do.
I have used this tagline in my responses to some of your posts, maybe that it where you picked it up and why you sometimes use it when replying to me.
Do you see the absurdity of you using that tagline when discussing issues that you admit you don't know much about?

Yes. I picked it up from you. That's why I like to use it here. But I didn't know about that Steven Crowder.

I don't think it's the least bit absurd.[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 04-30-2022).]
