Didn't know that discussing a medical problem and the politics that surround it serves ulterior and maleviolent purposes.  Nobody ever said we can't discuss the issues you mentioned, doesn't bring any less legitimacy to these. 
Um, what medical problem?

Hasn't transgender defined itself as a confusion within the brain for which no actual, physical medical problem exists?

Regardless, putting the spotlight, the media attention, the percentage of the news, on a very small and innocuous problem, does in fact divert attention from major issues.  Legitimacy isn't the issue.  The plight of one lonely Sub Saharan farmer whose cow has been recently sick should, of course, be of legitimate importance and receive international attention.


You could literally go through every post in here with the same mindset and attempt to direct people in a set direction and more towards the field that you feel needs more discussion.  The problem with that is people will get their backs up more than come to the reasoning you would like the public to grasp.
In doing so one comes off more like a forum gestapo than some one that is attempting to show people the light.
Stating that this discussion is coming to a close is not for any one person to decide,maybe a mod. Wink
That said medical is also mental,so it does extend to the medical field,moot point but thought I would touch on it.

So to address the issue you are talking about I agree with you to a extent about other topics not getting the needed attention.
If we can show holes in one subject we can eventually open more doors for people that are still watching the news and taking it as gospel.
The more doors we can open the more we can get this idea out and about.

Really the reason I started this subject to begin with was I was really confused by it.  Was hoping a open dialogue that did not go to far down the rabbit hole could help some of us that feel the same way I do.  This is not my attempt to push some propaganda on the forum,you will find I like going down the rabbit hole but at the same time quite new to thinking outside the box.  Also scared to become a little to much like Alex Jones in doing so and seek a balance.
Having worked in mental hospitals and seen some suicides, delt with people who continually for the rest of their life hallucinating from LSD overdose, depressives who had zero purpose, axe murderers who became babies after they were sedated, guys that believed they were Napoleon, and seen a great deal of people with real problems, please forgive me if I laugh a the outrageous suggestion that we need some sensitivity in our relations with out gender confused brethren.

They probably have some mental health disorder that is causing a problem, sure, but it is not because they are transgender. In Jenner’s case, it probably had something to do with being attached to that Kardashian clan for such a long time.


Don't forget all the feminization of men due to chemicals, GMOs etc.

More and more men are bitches?

Now I'm confused.

I thought it was just the transgender confused ones always bitching who were bitches.

And let's not forget about all the trans-black people too.


What are you talking about?

An equally fake, made up "problem" as the one "discussed" on this thread.  Only that I am making it up.

Ignoring a problem is no way to solve it. But I imagine this will get worse before it gets better.

Yes, people will more and more be encouraged to discuss problems that are not problems, or which are ridiculously obscure, and to take them seriously - at the same time that the real problems get zero media coverage.  It's foolish to think this isn't a purposeful strategy by the progressive US elite, to hide the fact they are bleeding the country dry.  Let's just keep the people talking about (a, b, c, total nonsense) while we run the debt up from 20 to 25 Trillion.  Hey, then lets try for 30T!

The dumb shmucks will probably let us get away with it?

Now you were intoning, what, exactly about THE "VERY SERIOUS MATTER" OF SOME FUCKING CONFUSED WACKOS GETTING THEIR FEELINGS HURT?

Tell you what.  Next I'll "really seriously answer you about this important matter of how we need to be sensitive to a very small number of people with hurt feelings." 
Then we'll seriously discuss Kardashinton.  Then we'll discuss the latest Naked Reality Survival Show.

You really want to go down that route?

Or would you like to discuss Flavors of Fake Facts for Fools?

You clearly didn't read what I said (because I said nothing about any of that), and have gone off on really stupid, idiotic, off topic tangents here.

It's true that I am not disputing your comment -


Don't forget all the feminization of men due to chemicals, GMOs etc.


But I argue that the topic of the thread (and the societal issue which it echose) is stupid and idiotic...yet serves ulterior and malevolent purposes.

Online wallets like blockchain.info should only be used for small amounts like spending money.  The most practical way to hold them is to use a wallet like Electrum where you are the only one that holds the private keys, but you don't have to download the massive blockchain to use (that part is held on a server).  

If you're looking into getting a large amount then you should try to use cold storage, where the wallet is made on a OS that has never and will never be connected to the internet.  This can be done with a hardware wallet like the Trezor, or using something like the Raspberry Pi where you can just put the SD card to the side after you've made a few backups on USB sticks.  

As for purchasing the coins, give a look into Circle.  Once you have verified your account with your SSN, you can purchase coins using your credit card (for a 3% fee) or directly hook it up to your bank account.

You can sit there and say that the Christians are crazy for saying “God does not make mistakes” but if you went through and tested these people, none of them would be transgender. They probably have some mental health disorder that is causing a problem, sure, but it is not because they are transgender.
What exactly do you mean by "If you went through and tested these people"?  The definition of transgender is having gender dysphoria, so if you think you are one then by definition you are.

This exemplifies the problem with the social based theory of gender identity. These activist groups tell everyone that gender identity is 100% a social construct, as a result, it leads to misinformation not just among LGBT peoples, but among every one else. This constant denial of biological processes behind transgender, gender dysphoria, and gender identity generally leaves everyone else misinformed and lead to believe that either these people are only just mentally ill, or they are confused and acting out.

Of course some times this is true, but this socialization theory completely denies the actual biological differences in people that can cause this to result, making it appear to be nothing more than a choice, causing an even greater divide as people reject the socialization theory thinking that it represents the whole argument, simply because these activist groups talk the loudest.
Not denying that there is a biological aspect to it (all those studies a few pages ago), but unless somebody is faking it (IE, they don't have dysphoria and just want attention) then they are.  My comment was more aimed at the second part of the quote, where he made a distinction between a mental health disorder causing dysphoria and being transgender.  Dysphoria (and whatever caused it biologically by extention) is the disorder, not the side effect.

Does it work with Bitcoin purchases or is it only for USD?
You could pay with BTC with Gyft, but would lose a couple % in savings.  The retailer it's for doesn't have the same promotions available internationally, sadly.

Tennessee lesbian couple faked hate crime and destroyed own home with arson for insurance claim, jury rules

This is an absolute shit thing to do, but not really specific to LGBT.  A black person could spray-paint the n-word on their house and do the same thing.  

At least they got found out and will get what they deserve, karma's a bitch

No, it is not specific to LGBT people, but unlike a black person, you can't really prove if some one is actually gay or not. This opens up abuse of the idea of protected classes on a whole other level. Literally anyone could make these claims for almost any reason. Try pretending to be black and see how that works out for you.
True, but it doesn't stop some that are not white from taking advantage of it.  Although it does seem to be more common among the LGBT community, I'd guess this is because of the recent media coverage giving the ideas to those who would do this type of thing.

http://fakehatecrimes.org/

I think part of the reason it may be more common in the LGBT community is because of the Marxist roots of the socialized gender identity theory where they believe gender identity is 100% a result of societal conditioning. This kind of rational can make it a lot easier for people to justify these things in their minds because it promotes a unique sense of entitlement that results from the idea that all of society has stolen your true identity from you. As they are a smaller group compared to any racial minority group, pretty much anyone is a justifiable target based on that ideology.
For tumblrites?  Possibly.  For the everyday LGBT person, they just want to live their lives.  There are bad apples in every population, but saying being LGBT gives you some messed up ideology is a pretty sweeping generalization.

For comparison, an estimated 2 to 8 percent of rape accusations are false.  If we go off the lower number, There are 1875 false rape accusations per year.  This means that there could be 118 false hate crimes and still fall within about the same area, up to 400+ if we use the larger estimate.  These numbers fall well within the range of the FBI's hate crime statistics, which have 1260 LGBT-related hate crimes

Bitcoin doesn't seem to follow the standard rules of a currency when it comes to value.  The price is going to be more related to what kind of adoption we get, new services, etc.

That said, I think we're back in the stable territory.  It's still a good bit higher than when this whole bubble started, and seems to be holding it's own pretty well.  We may see another bubble sometime in the future, but I don't think it where be anywhere near the scale of this one simply because of the media coverage it got this time.  While there were bubbles proportionate to this one in the past, BTC was still a relatively unheard of technology.  Now the average Joe is going to be hesitant about going in because all he knows about is Gox and going from $1,100 to $250.

415  Economy / Digital goods / SEARS/KMART SAVINGS METHOD FOR ELECTRONICS, CLOTHING, AND MORE! on: August 11, 2015, 07:15:27 AM
I've written up a guide that will allow you to save a large amount at Sears and Kmart.  I have personally tested this multiple times without issue, and it involves no greyhat/blackhat methods.  This works both online and in stores, although prices may be slightly higher in store.

The discounts attainable vary greatly depending on current promos they have as well as lifestyle (points for activities).

You can expect a minimum of 20% off list prices for many larger electronics, and well over 50% off in some cases for relatively small purchases like clothing.  Many of the discounts come in the form of Shop Your Way points, which can be used for $ off your next Sears/kmart purchase (including other vendors selling on there), or lots of items on SYW's website


There's ~$25 in one-time bonuses that come with the method used, so it will pay for itself the first time.  Free 2-day shipping for 90 days is also included.


The guide costs $5.  If you have some reputation I'll send first.


This does not work on the international Sears/Kmart website.  It is possible to pay with Bitcoin through Gyft, but you will miss out on some of the one-time bonuses and ~4% savings

Try asking the ghosts personal infos and ask their relatives if its true. To know if you are really talking to real ghosts. If the ghost's relatives says the infos are wrong then go see a doctor.

Yeap, the ghosts i see, are real and they all are related with my real life. Most ghosts are the one who died before their time like in a car accident or cancer. none of them ever tried to harm me. they just want me to be with me

Probably go to a psychologist? Wink
