    I applaud ANYONE that seeks to better understand their own mental health.

    My simpleton opinion is that EVERYONE, suffers some level of mental health problems.

    I freely acknowledge my own.

    My personal experience is that every human alive can benefit from counciling by mental health experts, that is, those interested in personal growth and development.

    Those that admonish others for doing so or speak without experience are not worthy of commenting.

    Just my opinion

    I think the problem here is restrooms that don’t provide real privacy. I get ease of cleaning but seriously doors in stalls should shut without gaps and there should be no way to look over or under the wall.

    Read quickly once, no direct address of the issue other than saying that statewide injunction absent a certified class action, which one commenter noted never applies to the other side

    ‘transgender males in the U.S. underwent 9,985 gender confirmation surgeries in 2020 compared to 8,986 in 2019.’

    if adults… seems like an infinitesimally small number of the population

    200 ppl a state if an average

    Meanwhile not a single candidate has a plan for homeless and injured vets; or any progressive plan to handle 700,000 homeless children, who are not accompanied by an adult

    This is child abuse, plain and simple.

    If it was plain and simple, it wouldn't be an issue, right?

    If we did a retrospective analysis of adults that had affirming care as minors and the results were positive, would you still consider it abuse?

    AgingGator is right in all of his posts, but he's hit the nail on the head when he said that this was elective surgery that should never be covered by insurance.

    @AgingGator cannot even defend his statements to direct challenges. I'm not surprised you fall in line with him.

    Maybe you want to defend his statements on his behalf.

    Let's not confuse ourselves. The center declared that “Transgender and nonbinary-gendered individuals may give birth and breastfeed or feed at the chest. You'd have to be a fascinated lunatic to have this statement on the CDC website. They are not the CMDC.

    Why? It's a fact that transgender and nonbinary-gendered individuals can give birth and may choose to breastfeed or feed their child at the chest. Should they not receive guidance from the CDC on benefits or risks of doing so?

    Isn't that their job?

    If they were to get involved, they (CDC) should share the science that dudes cannot have babies nor breastfeed. These people should not be allowed near children... ever.
