Again: I don't think you're accurate here. The Pasco County case kept heavy surveillance of children by trawling every school in the county and systemically categorizing every child in the county by GPA, Attendance, credit count,

What are you talking about? Small cities are just as rife with corruption. The nationwide "cash for kids" scandal occurred in a small city in Philadelphia. Pasco County, whose largest city is less than 20,000 in populace, literall

Men should be off an equal time as women, not as a "so be it" measure. It's crazy that we push so much of the parenting to a single parent, effectively isolating her socially and never giving her time to be an adult or spea

My comment is that I don't think its reasonable to attribute a terrorist action to the lessening of oppression that that demographic has received overall.

We didn't apply this standard to all men when we went from no school shootings to one school shooting in 1840. I don't see a reason why we should apply it to another gender.

I actually don't think it's wise to make a claim that more than one trans person has shot up more than one christian school at this point, or even to attribute the terrorist act by a single trans person to the acceptance of transg

Frankly it might just be that children's desire to kill themselves wasn't considered something to hospitalize for in the past. I knew when I was a teenager I participated in all sorts of nonsense and said all sorts of shit to adul

Your article doesn't seem to be quite authoritative: It shows there's actually a lot of debate about this subject. There's even a responses section that shows there's some significant issues with the article and claiming

Yeah I googled around more and saw its a 1:1:1 (trans man, trans woman, nonbinary). Still doesn't really follow the stated narrative though.

The Amy Waxman point was explicitly used by The Coddling Of The American Mind to prove its point, while the book completely ignored the context that Amy Waxman was racist, which is why it's referenced here. It's clear you haven&#

> And it's no coincidence young female teens are by far the most susceptible to transition to the opposite role: social media tells them "they were born in the wrong bodies". Um, statistically, trans women are more common

Not necessarily; teenagers are 1) still under parental health insurance and therefore can get medical care, 2) broadly have adults looking out for them in a way adults don't look out for other adults, 3) are capable of self-introspecti

Note that this isn't an unbiased source. This is working with Jon, the co-writer of The Coddling Of The American Mind, which uhhh is not without its critics for inaccuracies and stretching of truth. Check it out: https://pod
