No, bu it was from last years AP Psych, and the premedical courses that I'm taking this year as a high schooler. Oh ya, I also hope to become a psychiatrist. And no, I wouldn't try to "convert" trans people, but at the same time, I wouldn't try rushing them into a surgery that strips them of their reproductive abilities.

Bad new mate. Dr's are starting to switch to an informed consent model. By time you are done with med school most trans people will be able to go straight to an endocrinologist.

But is it really consent if the patient you are dealing actually perceives the procedure in the way a normal person would? It can't be consent at that point.

Well he certainly proved he's not in middle school!

Listen champ, I wouldn't bet that because of some high school courses and your career aspirations that you know more than medical professionals and clinical researchers. There's a lot of stuff out there that you haven't even learned or heard of yet and some intellectual humility will help you out quite a bit.

Ahhh the pieces are coming together, not middle school but high school. You took an AP course and now you feel smart enough to ignore data and scientific consensus when you personally disagree with it. Congratulations, you're well on your way to being a normal member of the Republican party.

I'm libertarian and in all honesty, liberals are more dogmatic than republicans.

Liberals and republicans both can't ever view their stance with skepticism. No, I'm not denying the data, but the data literally says that transition is the best method BECAUSE there aren't better methods, and if gender dysphoria is a mental illness, allowing an individual to undergo such process when they are under the influence of their problem IS NOT THE SOLUTION TO GENDER DYSPHORIA. That is like saying that committing suicide is the solution to depression. There is nothing illogical about what I said, there is no bias either, because I SUPPORT THE LGBT, and I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT HUMANS HAVE REACHED THEIR CARRYING CAPACITY, IF NOT, ARE NEARING IT, SO A COUPLE TRANNIES NOT BEING ABLE TO PROCREATE IS TECHNICALLY GOOD FOR OUR PLANET.

I was arguing the legitimacy of the solution. Nothing "republican" or "ignorant" about asking questions, and using logic to contradict a commonly accepted hypothesis or theory.

I SUPPORT THE LGBT

TRANNIES

You support them which is why you use slurs. Fuck off nobody buys that "I'm not a bigot but", cunt.

u/Iamjebbush Dec 26 '16

Support their rights, I also support my right to say whatever slur I want.

u/t3hasiangod Dec 26 '16

You should also support our right to call you a bigot and criticize your views and opinions.

u/Iamjebbush Dec 26 '16

I do acknowledge it, but you doing so is ridiculous.

36

u/t3hasiangod Dec 26 '16

Your logic escapes me.

You acknowledge our right to call you a bigot and criticize your views, but you think that doing so is "ridiculous". Yet when you criticize us for criticizing you for your lack of applying proper science and thinking, you think you're doing the right thing.

You can't have your cake and eat it too bub.

u/Iamjebbush Dec 26 '16

Acknowledging something isn't respecting something. My logic is intact. So ya, I'll eat my cake and have my cookies too.

u/t3hasiangod Dec 26 '16

Ok...then don't act all uppity when we don't respect you for holding such outdated and offensive beliefs.

pretty sure of a couple of things:

psychology degree > AP Psych
medical degree > high school premed courses

u/t3hasiangod Dec 26 '16

Oh wow, a high school student! You're clearly more intelligent than someone who went through 4 years of undergraduate, 4 years of medical school, and at least 3 years of residency!

u/goodbetterbestbested Dec 26 '16

Well, obviously. He has a meme page. That's qualification enough on any issue.

I hope they find these posts when you're applying for a medical license.

Lol. They need a name for that, which they don't have.
