You say potato…
Not reasonable. I think the accusation of it being likened to a contagion would require some form of evidence.

Do you care to answer my questions in the OP?
Thr OP ALSO uses the word justified. Twice.

Science does not have the job of justifying anything. So the question in the OP is pretty moot.

Typical leftist argument, if you think this represents the acceptance rates of the LGBTQ?+-347 community over the last 100 years your completely blind. The reason you can’t find any actual statistics about LGBTQ?+-347 acceptance over the last 100 years is because there were no such statistics conducted.

Is transgenderism a product of cause-and-effect?

If so, I'd like to see how science justifies this sinful practice -- (assuming they do).

And if it hasn't been justified yet, what exactly are scientists looking into that would cause this to happen?

Can a person become a transgender against his will?

On the other hand, if not, then what does academia attribute this to?
Afaik, the only physical differences between a genuine trans person and?...normal person are elongated brain receptors and larger neurons in a certain part of the brain.

These don't explain the psychological genesis of dysmorphia but it's potentially a clue. The issue is, that it's only after death that it may be possible to say whether a person was genuinely trans or not. And what good is that?

The only solutions is to make sure we inspect everyone's genitals before we interact with them.

If our own hubris is SO great that referring to someone in the way WE want to with he/she, you best start demanding to se private parts.

I've seen too many antitrans folks who can't tell the difference and it's embarrassing for them because you seems its actually just a particular aesthetic that is eschewed.

That of a "low effort" or early transition.

Beats me.

I'll take a stab at it though and say:

Childe in the wombe.
So you are really clueless on that.
Yes.

I looked it up on the online etymology dictionary to get the century that "fetus" hit the airwaves.


fetus (n.)

late 14c., "the young while in the womb or egg" (tending to mean vaguely the embryo in the later stage of development), from Latin fetus (often, incorrectly, foetus) "the bearing or hatching of young, a bringing forth, pregnancy, childbearing, offspring," from suffixed form of PIE root


SOURCE: Online Etymology Dictionary
Which is when that word came into the evolving English language. But it was a word already available in the culture of England at the time, as many people knew Latin formally and many more knew it better than most of us know the Spanish that surrounds us today. They would have had a basic familiarity with Latin from the liturgy. As English grew and adapted it adsorbed many words from Latin. So much so that to say what I just said WITHOUT borrowed Latin words would be crazy difficult.
Solomon wrote ...

Ecclesiastes 11:5 As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.
And just how does quoting Solomon make your case about something that happened in the 14th century?
14th century academia plutos it to "fetus."
What does 'plutos' mean?
It's called "fragmentation of conscience" by M. Scott Peck.
Granted fragmentation of conscience can happen, how DID it happen in the 14th century? I simply do not follow. Please make your case.

AV asserts that something really important changed about Pluto when it's designation was changed from "planet" to "dwarf planet" and that the change was made by a rigged vote of the astronomical committee which makes such designations. Hence, "to pluto" a verb describing a change in a definition for nefarious purposes.

Surely there is something, you could look at arrests for sodomy, for example. Gays run a pretty constant percentage of the population, so sodomy arrests would give some indication of how seriously the law was being enforced.

Ya -- if I remember right, an autopsy showed that Charles Whitman had a brain tumor.

Some of this stuff can only be done post-mortem.

Please make your case.

He doesn't have one. It's been repeatedly said to him that fetus means child in the womb, even in the definition he himself gave, but he doesn't care.
