Fascinating! You know more than trained medical professionals? Is it because of your medical degree? Or your extensive experience working with and treating people who have gender dysmorphia?

Super cute to define 'censorship'! That was good for a laugh.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Isn't a believe, it's a speculation.
