Another situation where facts don't matter to the left, puberty blockers for children

I have a question Rich.  I think we all agree that using medically unnecessary puberty blockers on children for any reason is a terrible idea.  I do not know anyone who thinks this is a good idea, and I know two trans adults reasonably well.

Do you have any data showing how widespread this practice is?  Specifically, data showing Medical Doctors prescribing puberty blockers because of gender identification issues.   My guess is that it is a virtually nonexistent practice, but I'm happy to look at the data.

They don't care about the safety of women in society, they have social engineering to engage in and if a few women get hurt or even killed in the process, they are just collateral damage as far as the Democrat party is concerned.

Headline:   25-year-old transgender cheerleader kicked out of cheer camp after allegedly choking female teammate for saying that the transgender cheerleader is a 'man with a penis'

From the article above:   Transgender cheerleader Averie Chanel Medlock, 25, was booted from the cheer camp at Ranger College for allegedly assaulting a female cheerleader.

Fox News reported, "Medlock alleges that a teammate made transphobic and racist remarks before the altercation, with cell phone video showing other cheerleaders hiding in a room from an agitated Medlock."

Medlock posted a video on social media, where Medlock went to the door of Karleigh's room and reportedly said, "If anyone has a problem, come address it to my face like an adult."

Karleigh contacted her dad about the incident, and claimed that Medlock choked her.

Karleigh's father posted a message about the incident on social media, "I ask you what you would have done when receiving a phone call at 1 o’clock in the morning from your daughter stating they had locked themselves in the room with other girls, after this person said You want to fight, and proceeded to put their hands around my daughters neck.”

When police purportedly questioned Medlock about putting Medlock's hands on the other cheerleader's throat, Medlock said Medlock was only joking.



But not to worry, because the left has an agenda to push and that is first and foremost MORE important than the safety of young female cheerleaders.  
What makes you think that Democrats in general support putting females at risk?  In this case, Medlock was kicked out of the camp and may be prosecuted.  Looks like justice is being reasonably rendered.

An honorable mention has to go to any of us who have the will or energy to go after Richard at all is another testament why this forum doesn't die like the rest of the AM forums have.

Long live Richard, King of the D's.

Now does that post only count as one name called in the name calling derby? LOL.

Hey, I'm not proud. I'm just as big of a douchebag as the next slob over there.
I don't know about that, Jim.  When Rich is kicked off, or when he imposes one of his self-imposed and all too short-lived self exiles after he embarrasses himself particularly well, the number of posts does drop.  But the quality of posts and the quality of the discussion goes way up.  Jim

Now you've conveniently discounted the Huffington Post, but I have proven my statement to be factual.

Is there anything else I need to provide for your education and for your correction?  smile

You let me know Water Boy.  
Point the Rod Kaufman bit out for me in your initial replies, would you please?  I don't think Rod Kaufman has ever stated that self defense with a gun almost never occurs.  I assume that you are just making this up, after the fact, since you know now that you were in the wrong.  I am willing to look at Rod's posts if you think he did say self defense with a gun almost never occurs.  Until then, James characterization of you as a serial liar seems pretty accurate to me.

Since you are so predictable Rich, I'll just get out in front of your stupid reply and point out that quoting and endorsing this statement: 

"having a gun in your house increases suicides, it increases gun accidents, and it increases homicides, at least of women in the house. And we can’t find any benefit from it.”  

is not the same as saying: 

" self defense with a gun almost never occurs."

Hogwash.  Just in case we take our eyes off the issue, you have not shown any instance of Rod or anyone else on this forum saying that self defense with a gun almost never occurs.

Voters in Kansas rejected a proposed state constitutional amendment that would have said there was no right to an abortion in the state. The amendment could have opened the door to more abortion restrictions in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

If this can happen in red-state Kansas, it can occur in any state of the union. Voters rejected the proposal in a huge double-digit loss for supporters of the amendment. It looks like about 20% of GOP voters rejected the amendment, and there was a substantial Democratic turnout. Like I've said, I think the GOP failed to entirely grasp the consequences of overturning Roe v. Wade. Of course, there will be lots of back-and-forth over what this portends for the mid-term elections, but it sure doesn't look good for the GOP. State's rights indeed.
Hi James:

There were some good articles on this yesterday.  In summary, the majority of voters in Kansas do not want a total ban, so some pro-life types voted no.  These folks do not want unfettered abortion either.  They want abortion with reasonable restrictions and reasonable exceptions.  

It will be interesting to see what the various state legislatures can craft to address the will of the people.  Not sure if your last line is mocking, disdainful, or something else, but the Kansas vote demonstrates to me that handling this issue at the state level is quite possibly a blessing if the goal is reasonable, but not unrestricted abortion rights.

I think that this issue hurts the GOP short term, for all the reasons you note, but I still see a big R win in November, because of the economy.  We'll see!  J

Laughable.  Post #7 is you putting words into Rod's mouth.  This passes for a fact in your fantasy world, but seriously Rich, you are simply making stuff up.

There is nothing in #7 above suggesting that Rod said or endorsed the statement, "self defense with a gun almost never occurs."   Rod endorsed an entirely different statement, as I have noted above.  Go read post #7 again.  You will then come back and say that Rod endorsed the statement "we can find no benefit..."  

Anyone who is not as dishonest as you will understand that endorsing that statement from the article Rod posted is not even close to  saying, "self defense with a gun almost never occurs."  News flash:  Self defense with a gun can be commonplace and still of no net benefit compared to the suicides and accidents.  I would not attribute that conclusion to Rod, unless he says that is the way he feels.  You are simply lying to us Rich.  Again.

Agreed.  I took the clip below from James' article.  It does not look like the KS incumbent R senator has much to worry about.  So, as is usual I guess, the number of seats where abortion is going to be a significant issue will be limited.  The economy affects everyone, so...  We will see!
