I don't think anyone disputes the rise of antisemitism. There is more than one issue in the world.

On the flip side massive protests in Isreal as a crooked Prime Minister is making an unprecedented grab for more power.
Country is pretty much in the brink

I would like to apologize for DT not working properly for about 24 hours there. Somebody deleted a very important file behind the scenes.

Glad to see that you agree with the Israeli protestors that the government shouldn't have the right to reverse supreme court decisions by a simple majority. I am sure that must be your position in the US also.

???????????
The people in Israel are pretty unhappy. Massive protests and strikes
And I've never liked Netanyahu
But
What does this have to do with the US?
Israeli politics are very very very complicated. Completely different issues.
Our Supreme Court reversed a previous Supreme Court ruling simply because they now have the majority. Yea I'm not happy about that.

The reason I posted the reference, is because of preserving life.

If the attempted suicide rate for transgender youth is 40%, then that rules out being transgender in order to preserve the person's life.

The odds are too much in the favor of death to be a youthful transgender.




Also, being a transgender as a youth is not sustainable because of the high attempted suicide rate.

The issue will automatically go away and take care of itself.


Even if society changed to compensate for these individuals, as long as the eventual suicide rate is higher than average, the movement is destined to fail.


My sense is humans are a reproductive unit.

A whole, in that all the component systems work together.

If one component is fundamentally changed, then they can all fail.

In this case, the sex is determined in the womb, so it's very fundamental.
