yes lets talk about media bias. Your link is a Denver Gazette news article that references a report and makes a load of assumptions about what is in the report. It uses a headline with only a snippet of a quote from the 'report'. It also links to a Washington Examiner atricle where pediatricians REAFFRIMED their position about providing gender affirming care for minors usffering from gender dysphoria. Conveniently, I cannot verify anything they quote from the 'report' because their 'in the report' link, it goes to YET ANOTHER, City Journal article. City Journal touts itself as an urban-policy magazine. Their article is written by a PhD so that's good, and I can respect that, but still no link to the 'report' from American Plastic Surgeons, which is at the core of the point you are trying to make. And the CJ article certainly is not all about that issue, it is only mentioned then the article goes on about all kinds of other procedures and such, not at all focusing on children and transgender. So I would actually like to see 'the report', not two lines in two separate articles plucked from a report with no actual link to the entire report. Why do I want to see the actual report? Because the introduction, conclusions and summaries will be a good place to start about what the report ACTUALLY says, instead of the tidbits presented with headlines as media bias.. But the City Journal report does say: "I also asked ASPS whether plastic surgeons share responsibility for determining the medical necessity of gender surgeries for minors. ASPS responded that surgeons are “members of the multidisciplinary care team” and as such “have a responsibility to provide comprehensive patient education and maintain a robust and evidence-based informed consent process, so patients and their families can set realistic expectations in the shared decision-making process.” " And that looks pretty neutral to me, not really taking a stance one way or the other, simply talking about the need for informed decisions. Obviously the report says far more than the headline that you posted.

Drunk again?

Please take this off topic semi-coherent drivel and irrelevant YouTube link elsewhere.

On the one hand, Harris is possibly the most singularity incompetent candidate for the Presidency ever. OTOH, I have have hoped for the event that would drive a stake through her opponent's political heart since he declared his candidacy a couple of cycles back. Since there is no acceptable outcome this time around, I can only hope we can survive four years of her in the oval office and use the time to detox from her opponent. With any luck the dumb sonofabitch will be doing time and not a factor. Since either of them will make ANYTHING look good by comparison, it may as well be her to serve as Mrs. Bad Example. I just hope her presidency isn't the kiss of death for this experiment in government. If a people get the government they deserve, we suck out loud.

In just saying the average American was better off during the Trump administration than during the Biden administration. Inflation, high interest rates, record credit card debt, out of control border, record number of fentanyl deaths, wars raging around the world and a senile old man in the White House possibly being replaced by a cackling hyena who can’t read a teleprompter, or do a press conference. Yes, I get it…orange man bad, but no worse than our alternative.

Doesn't take much imagination. A fellow teetotaler with a can-do approach (you have to break some eggs to make an omelet) Time to resort to The Art of the Deal! If you were a Stable Genius it would be pretty obvious. BTW, did Mr. Ed qualify as a Stable Genius
