you’ve spent many many posts literally saying the state shouldn’t allow puberty blockers or books.

In theory the first sentence could be correct. In reality in America and other places peoples private sex lives, what they wear, and birth control methods are all highly contested, and it’s so comically disingenuous to act as though you aren’t one of that kind of activist.

Have I made a medical claim about 11 year olds ITT?

That's crazy talk.

Well I think there are conditions that we would all recognize as mental illness, and then there are conditions that are mental illnesses for political purposes, conditions that haven't yet been recognized as mental illness, and conditions that are currently recognized as mental illness that one day won't be. Not really too much rigor there and lots of abuse possible.

Nope i spent many many posts saying the state shouldn't allow minors diagnosed with gender disphoria to get puberty blockers, and PUBLIC SCHOOLS shouldn't have pornographic books in school libraries.

Both are topic wrt minors which aren't allowed normal freedoms because incapable of fully deciding for themselves.

I never asked to ban books from any facility for adults at all (public or private), nor to block adult people from accessing any treatment they want to modify their body, if they pay for them without asking anything from taxpayers.

I actually wrote anyone (in a sane state of mind, conscious from the pov of the law, who can sign contracts and so on) should be allowed to consume any substance at all no exception. And self modify, or get his body self modified, as much as he wants.

I am an activist to protect minors from violence though, and leftist violence to minors recently is particularly repugnant, while in the past it was the clear opposite for a very long time.

It's about who has cultural power in society i guess, unfortunately that's often used to abuse children systematically. We can hope one day whomever has cultural power stops abusing minors, but that day hasn't come yet.

I had personally hoped that ended with churches losing most of their cultural power, but the new church of the letter soup is taking their place and doing the same to minors so i am here to do my part to reduce the damage the church of letter soup inflicts on kids.

It has been several decades since birth control "being contested" in the USA simply meant people refuse to pay for other people birth control, and that's perfectly fine and compatible with freedom.

I might have hallucinated your support for puberty blockers given to gender disphoric children.

If so i am sorry.

So are you , as the majority of worldwide experts are, fully against prescribing puberty blockers to kids who have been diagnosed as gender disphoric? if not, why do you have an opinion on an expert subject which differs from that of the majority of worldwide experts on the topic?

Are you sure you need a "degree in education" to be a public school k12 teacher in the 50 states?

Nothing in your post disputes what I wrote, it just confirms it. Similarly there are people against giving condoms to minors because they think minors shouldn’t be having sex outside of marriage. The quoted portion is just wrong. Have you seen the news in regards to abortion?

Abortion isn't birth control omg.

Yes there can be people against birth control for minors.

So does that apply to grannies as well? OK I will not use it . Just delete the word and let me know

I agree those are not the same thing. But I was referring to the debate in regards to abortion.

You might not think so but some women think of it that way

relevant article in terms of the point I was making.

maybe some very radical leftist women do, but lol no that's not the normal way to think of abortion even for people pro abortion.

Birth control are the ways to avoid getting pregnant. That's also the medical definition.

from the article

Summary of Luciom's political theories:

1. Policies I agree with = state should be a neutral arbiter and enforce property rights.

2. Policies I disagree with: the right wing politicians should ban it all, jail those who think differently and kill all politicians dissenters.

Don't expect any other consistencies.

I disagree with a lot of stuff that I wouldn't apply 2) to.

Like public schools. Democracy should decide even if i would prefer fully private charter schools with no public option.

Same for a lot of other stuff.

But I understand I am far enough from your preferences that, like every single leftwing person alive does everytime he meets someone who has very different values, you need to demonize me

You got it opposite.

These are freaks who consider birth control a kind of abortion.

I was discussing the fact that abortion isn't birth control.

I mean, of course abortion is birth control. Literally. Abortion is an act of controlling a birth; a woman decides she shouldn't bring forth a child and controls its birth to the point of ending it before it happens.

"Fully private charter schools with no public option" -- so, what happens to all the children of parents who can't afford private (inevitably for-profit) education? I mean, I know libertarians loathe and fear the poor, but damn!

Nobody needs to demonize you. You do a perfectly good job of doing that all by yourself. You are a demon.

Charter schools are the great satan

They go to charter schools with government vouchers.

Where education is better for less money than public schools (not hard to do a better job that those cesspits).

I am not against public funding of basic education, I am not an anarchist, nor an anarchocapitalist.

There are approximately ten billion reasons why forcing all children into charter schools is an awful idea (not to mention the dissonance between "fully private" and "government vouchers"), but whatever, I'm just glad to learn you're not an AnCap, that's a rather pernicious form of cruel idiocy.

There's no point in this continuing this further ITT; obviously we've strayed far from the topic of "trans visibility", on which you are equally transphobic as your more strident libertarian friends.

forcing children in charter schools (giving them an option) is worse than forcing children in the public school of their neighborhood, which surely helps people in a ghetto
