“It's not about giving droopy what he wants, so much as getting a Health Care & Insurance bill passed... Once that happens, a precedent has been set and the initiative can be built upon... If nothing happens, the initiative and the endeavor are dead... and we all lose...”

“and again... a subjective expert proclaims definitive insight...
This is a tragedy; of this there should be no arguement. However, there is a difficult question to be addressed with regard to dysphoria. If one thinks thenself to be fat, when one clearly is not, the proper course of action is treatment, not gastrioplasty.
Yet, when one believes themself to be of one gender, of which they definitively are not, we seem more inclined to humor them to their peril, than to help them accept reality as it presents..
I am sympathetic, but I cannot help but recall Woddy Allen's jest about the relative who thought himself a chicken, and was supported in this delusion by his family because they needed the eggs...
In the real world, wishing it don't make it so...”

“It's no surprise you invoke the name Woody Allen, the man who seduced his adopted daughter , to quote logic from. Or that you spout genius about how changing your gender change is akin to jumping species ! Little DNA problem there hmmm ? Is it any wonder the religious are so confused about evolution ? I haven't heard that old chestnut since christians were trying to disprove the existence of gays. It's still a knee slapper though, even today.
In the case of being fat you can stand on a scale or look in the mirror to verify but you seem to avoid that there are no such tests for GID yet history cases that go as far back as time . And that is what is so hard for you to grasp Fred Flintstone . If you can't see it, it doesn't exist. I'm going to help you though because while you are grossly ignorant I am almost an expert on just this kind of subject.
Before we even start you need to see the CBC documentary "The Disappearing Male". After which any normal person would be curious after but I know you will slump back dragging your knuckles babbling how god doesn't like it or "There's only xx and xy !" or some such nonsense. I'm prepared. You are sooo right, wishing don't make it so and that is all you are doing , wishing.”

“Speaking of subjective experts...
Please enlighten us as to what therapy can change transgender people's internal gender identity? Nothing I have ever read on the subject suggests that such treatment exists.
Yet you 'sketipcs' always refer to some vague treatment for these people that you never can seen to name or describe.”

“Agreed, and the anarchistic idealists of your faced consequences like this all the time. The new breed expects to be protected from consequences, no matter how egregious their behavior, based on some half-baked interpretation of the first amendment.
This ersatz-anarchist movement is every bit as stupid and a good deal more destructive and counterproductive as any of the tea-bag/town-hall boorishness. And, just like the right-wing loonies, when one of these recreational antagonists of the left is queried about their motivation, they quickly reveal how little they know about what they're talking about.

“Maybe so, but I was asked by many people at the range I used to help run about home defense weapons, and decided to see what the issues were. Many people each year are killed or injured by bullets that go through a wall and are in the next room or building. What I said is true. The other notion is that a shotgun with birdshot spreads the pellets all over the place. Also not true. At 10-15 ft., a typical spread is only about 10 inches, if that. Whether someone decides to have a defense weapon or not, doesn't it make sense to at least have facts before making that decision?”
