"may not accept" is definitely true.get it to x wrote: ↑Fri Jun 30, 2023 6:07 pmMy point was when you argue from authority, whether its a scientist or the written word, the other person may not accept your authority. You might believe the "Men can get pregnant" authority, I may not. Wasn't really a Covid argument.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 30, 2023 5:48 pmcontracted"?get it to x wrote: ↑Fri Jun 30, 2023 7:24 amThis is why I seldom cite sources. I did so to point out that 1% was a ridiculous number. I could cite The Bible as my authority, but that doesn't mean you recognize my cited authority. How many cited the CDC during Covid and how many times were they flat out wrong? There are a lot of highly educated stupid people that contracted Covid after vaccination and several boosters.jhu72 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 30, 2023 7:06 am... source is a bunch of psychiatrists selling their sh*t.

We do not teach Algebra to 3rd graders because their brains are not ready. Some, if not most teens are not ready to understand what is happening to them amid the craziness of their own natural hormonal bombardment. I have heard that a vast majority of people who are gender questioning wind up back to identifying with their biological sex if allowed to resolve itself. Why not let nature take it's course until they are an adult and can give informed consent?
And by vast majority, do you mean 1%?
Some studies suggest that rates of regret have declined over the years as patient selection and treatment methods have improved. In a review of 27 studies involving almost 8,000 teens and adults who had transgender surgeries, mostly in Europe, the U.S and Canada, 1% on average expressed regret.
We want to catch it early because if people go through puberty, then it's much, much harder to transition and pass later in life.

How many who contracted and had been boosted died of COVID related causes? What percentage died of those who contracted?
How many unvaccinated died? What percentage of those who contracted died?
Now tell me being vaccinated and boosted didn't save lives...
Of course we should analyze what the data is actually telling us, including modifying our assessments as more data comes in...but turning to some whack jobs on the internet ain't the way to do it.
The question is how we assess credibility, "authority"...for instance, the willingness to publish peer reviewable data, and the results of efforts to replicate such data.
I'd assert that we shouldn't give someone the time of day on a serious subject if they don't have such credibility.
Too many have decided that because experts who do so are nonetheless fallible that all such should be ignored...and turn to some guy on the internet who is unwilling to submit themselves to such scrutiny, but man can they sling the BS..."persuasive".
