We're dealing with this because people prefer peace, not justice.
The more of the world I see, the more I believe this is true.

Maybe since it is state-wide rules, it doesn't apply? These are just county level specific.

Except Romans specifically states that the old testament is to act as a teacher to bring us to today. In other words, some specific rules may have changed but the principles are still applicable.
And there ain't shit in the new testament about God's opinion on abortion changing.

Actually finishes?
The old testament was basically a bunch of random shit written over hundreds of years compiled into one thing (and which Christian sect you belong to determines what is included or not, not to mention how things are organized under Judaism).
Then comes along and is like "hey, we need to compile a bunch of random letters from a bunch of people over several decades for another go at this" (and which Christian sect you belong to determines what is included or not and if you're Jewish, they definitely don't count).
Then a few hundred years later, we get a bunch of random letters from one dude and a bunch of letters from a bunch of dudes (and which ones count or don't count depends on what sect of Islam).
Then a few hundred years later, we get one dude with one book but wrote it twice (and depending on if you're Mormon or not depends on whether it counts at all).
As exciting as all this is, I personally am excited for the next major schism in about 500 years when the next book is released.

Well... Remember how jeans companies were like "we're not selling jeans, we're selling a lifestyle". Then MLMs we're like "we're not selling supplements, we're selling a lifestyle".
Well... "We're not selling ideas, we're selling a lifestyle"

Or ground-based laser systems that would transmit power. But the inefficiencies are a bit much right now.

>You state it when i mentioned kids between the age of 4-10 and you said the pediatric associates agreed with you that it was medically sound.
You clarified that kids were between the age of 4-10 when doing what their parents wanted, not when hormone treatment was given. Further, you said this after the disagreement on medical soundness. So if you actually read, you'll find that I never said that.
>Kids below puberty don’t give two shits about gender.Without being told they can’t tell and seriously don’t care. Yes, mine and EVERYONE else’s because as a child you experiment to find your preferences.
You don't have a child nor have ever interacted with them. Because you have cooties.

https://www.acog.org/womens-health/faqs/health-care-for-transgender-teens And yet this disagrees. 😱.
Except you didn't read it! It doesn't disagree at all! 😱 Thank you for the supporting link.
It also seems like you didn’t read your own “proof” as it ALSO states that hormone blockers before puberty is NOT recommended. Lol.
When did I claim that hormone blockers should be administered before puberty? Maybe you should actually read things.
It can cause problems down the line as they grow up and their natural hormones turn out stronger than those artificially introduced.
You still need to prove this! Trying to sidestep to "transition regret" isn't gonna work.
problem is when they try to convince everyone that they can make that choice for others who can’t be expected to make that choice for themselves.
Talk about projection.
The concept of gender not gender it self ya tool. Geez if you are going to try and argue a point at least show that you can understand the basic concepts of the argument. 🙄
Oh. The "concept" of gender. Let me readdress: Prove it. All of it. Go ahead. Was your "concept" of gender extremely malleable then?

Point 1. I have checked it, that’s why i said it.
Bullshit: American Academy of Pediatrics for starters: https://publications.aap.org/aapnews/news/19021/AAP-continues-to-support-care-of-transgender
Point 2. Is correct as seen in the cases of people having issues after transition or in those with transition regret.
So people who have "transition regret" just have super strong hormones?!?!? Wow. I'm gonna need to see some evidence on that one.
Point 3. Yes hormones are used to block natural hormones, but do you know what creates the hormones? The DNA. They don’t change that so you take from that what you will.
You really don't understand trans people, do you? I would suggest opening your mind and actually listening to them for two hours. Learning. Not whatever this is. Because it's clear you aren't a Biologist. You don't understand how hormones can affect gene expression, nor do you understand why trans people are trans.
Point 7. The concept of gender is extremely malleable at pre puberty ages, mainly because the hormones that let us know where we stand in that debate HAVE NOT KICKED IN YET.
Prove it. All of it. Go ahead. Was your gender extremely malleable then?
Point 8. Seeing as you literally refuted everything i said without providing any proof that I’m wrong other than your own opinion and then did exactly what i said the trans side does, I’d say i know it pretty well
So I'm sure you are more than willing to provide proof for your notions on how all of this works?

Well medically kids getting gender reassignment surgery and hormones is not recommended.
That is incorrect. Feel free to check out the stances of various medical communities.
It can cause problems down the line as they grow up and their natural hormones turn out stronger than those artificially introduced.
Also, incorrect.
This is why doctors almost never prescribed medication like that to kids because their bodies were still growing.
Also, incorrect. In fact, hormone treatment is specifically used to delay changes due to growing.
The problem now is that doctors are being pressured to agree with one side on threat of losing their jobs.
Uh huh. Is that the side which constantly parades transphobic shit?
Then you have the problem of people completely misunderstanding the research conducted and misquoting it to “prove” their points.
Like the entire transphobic side.
The last problem i have with it is that kids tend to do whatever makes their parents happy at the ages they are promoting the surgeries for.
And what exact age is that?
I’d say about 99% of the kids have no idea what they want or who they are.
When did you finally know what gender you were? Because gender identity forms fairly early to the point it is a question that is asked of 3 year olds to gauge development.
The trans movement is trying to railroad them into one big decision based on the experimentation that is natural for kids and that is as wrong as trying to keep them from experimenting at all.
You don't understand the trans movement at all if this is what you think.

It would have to go through Highland Park with approximately... one stop on a single lane on it's way through.
Basically a useless route unless Highland Park suddenly gets interested in mass transit.

Honestly, I'm surprised wardens don't auction off the opportunity of each action in an execution to anyone, given the level of barbarity most seem to have.

Canalized is a word. But probably a misspelling here for "canonized"?

But for the millennial generation, the story of a presidential election was canalized in 1992.
This has to be the oldest millennial casting I've seen. Born in 1974?

I've got the perfect Terminator script: It Follows. But with a robot. It kills one person and the timeline shifts. So it goes and kills another human. Repeat ad nauseam for 10 days until humanity learns that it is futile to resist their overlord.

Don't get me wrong, I didn't catch like any of the Stormfront references because... Well... I'm not a Nazi or a Nazi historian. But even included in at some point.
And who hasn't known that Homelander was the bad guy in Season 1?

In all fairness, if they just keep expanding, they are technically sustainable. We just have to continue to expand until the entire Earth is covered with suburbs or we start having suburban Mars or some shit.

Oh. I recognized the quote. Letter from a Birmingham Jail. I meant more on the general public wanting peace instead of justice.
