    What was the "offensive" term? (this should be good).

    Please, by all means...provide the universal definitions that everyone will agree with. Or do the psychiatrists just keep that to themselves?

    And "people like you" call a hunt for accuracy "cherry pick[ing]"

    Isn't that more on the coward corporations and their even more cowardly HR departments? I'm sure there are MAGA bosses out there that fire people for saying things they don't like. Again, lot of useless pearl clutching, if you ask me.

    I'm making assumptions based on basic logic. If you want to do a national survey, have at it! I await your results with baited breath.

    Accuracy would be a complete and full survey of the entire profession, with a focus on those providing this kind of care and their prescribing habits. Cherry picking would be taking some obscure story from 5 years ago (from an uber-liberal district that bares no resemblance to the rest of the country) and selling it as some worldwide trend and part of some liberal conspiracy to eliminate masculinity.

    But you know that, you just like to play games.

    This took more time than the search, but here you go. Let me know if I'm taking anything out of context...

    If anybody has called you groomer, I'd like to know. I couldn't find any evidence of that, and I only used the two posters that you identified as a search tool.

    cosmetic surgery maybe. Most plastic surgeons specialize in other things, hand surgery, craniofacial, microsurgery

    We don't need assumptions; we need definitions. The fact is, most of us have useful definitions, but people want to get creative on what they mean by gender. That's where things go sideways.

    Maybe have a drink or take a pill. We're just done here.

    I guess I'm being too "mean" to the conservatives. My bad.

    The assumption was made regarding how psychiatrists deal with their patients and with issues like this. But you knew that. You just like playing games. So, just to let you know. GAME OVER! I'm not doing this silly dance with you. You'll just have to have an imaginary fight with that guy in your head.

    MOST are cosmetic. Just look at the billboards plastered up everywhere. Those aren't for hand surgery.

    It's a spectrum. Spectrums have opposite ends. That is why children who may have gender dysphoria see mental health professionals. They work through the issue(s) to determine if it's something that requires more significant medical interventions.

    Have fun with this!

    You mean the professionals who are "forcing them to have sex-change operations" so they can pocket millions in profit? Was I wrong in my "assumption" that the process is "a little" more professional than that?

    I mean, I wouldn't want to "misrepresent" or "insult" our MAGA posters. Because WES might "get all mad!"

    It's definitely not a game. There's no fight on my end. I recognize that we live in a world where people have different belief systems on this stuff.

    Not sure how it is cowardly when employers have a duty to ensure a receptive working environment for everyone and specifically employees that are member of federally protected classes. It would seem they are just abiding by the law.

    What Law? They're the ones firing them dude, NOT MSNBC or liberals on GC, or liberals anywhere outside of those companies and those HR departments. I mean, this is exactly what "THEY" would say with respect to your objections to firing those people. "Receptive working environment". That's straight out of the PC playbook. First chapter!

    P.S. You don't think they believe that crap? They wrote that crap?

    Sure, how do we go about assigning things to the spectrum in a way that is universally agreeable and without ambiguous references? Where does "boy" fall on the spectrum of gender? Is it at a linear endpoint? Or is it on some perimeter of a multi-dimensional spectrum?
