Title: Blurred Lines
Post by: Hawkmoon on May 15, 2019, 11:05:52 PM
The headline blames the problem on "blurred lines":

https://apnews.com/b5e7bb73c6134d58a0df9e1cee2fb8ad

The story is that a transgender man showed up at a hospital suffering abdominal pains. Because "he" told the staff that "he" was a transgender man, they didn't check to see if "he" was pregnant ... which "he" was. The result was a miscarriage (which appears to have been a fait accompli before "he" arrived at the hospital anyway, so it's a bit difficult to understand what all the furor is about).

What I learned from this is that, according to society, a person does not have to undergo sexual reassignment surgery in order to "become" the opposite gender. One does not even need to take hormones to facilitate a change in gender identity. It seems all one has to do is to declare that they are the gender they think they should have been born as.

IMHO, this case clearly demonstrates the absolute folly of encouraging people to try to realize these fantasies. How can a man, even a transgender "man," get pregnant? Wouldn't transgender "men" be trying to date women (real women, not "women")?

Sorry, but my dinosaur brain still believes that a person who still has girl parts but who wears men's clothing is a transvestite, not a transgender "man."

"He" was "raped?"

Pregnant  = she. End of story. What you FEEL doesn't change that.

True, but what you tell a doctor does change what the doctor will test you for.   I don't expect a doctor to test me for pregnancy if I go to him complaining of stomach pains.

This is why Obamacare requires insurance companies  to cover ‘women’ for prostate cancer. Having a tyranny for a spouse made him consider such things.

I am a pilot and so is my wife.

As part of our twice yearly pilot medical examinations, the doctor is encouraged to do a prostate exam.  The doctor wanted to give my wife a prostate exam because that is on the "checklist."  We don't use that doctor anymore.

I can only pray that 25 or 50 years into the future, they call these "The Crazy Times".

Because otherwise, the future is pretty bleak.

No, it was Fusilli Jerry.

I think that shows that "he" was not rightly classified...certainly not in the biological sense which is what really matters for medical care.

Nope, be like how people say lets go back to the 1950s, 50 years from now they will say, lets go back to the 20-teens.

Then it's not "nope", it's just bleak.

Related: U.S. birth rate is continuing to plummet. Actual NUMBERS of births are now in the range of the end of Generation X, and on a trend down.

One hope: Just who do you think is still having babes at this point? My wife and I have had 4 children since 2008, when this birth rate decline started. The people still having babies (and especially multiple ones) tend to look more like me than the crazies.

This is probably what the decline of the Roman Empire looked like.

No, to be like that, we'd have to be importing foreigners to do the things our people just don't feel like doing any more...


Oh...

I have to agree. Irrespective of how "woke" you are or aspire to be, if a person still has girl parts and can get pregnant, then medically that person cannot be "rightly classified as a man" ... because that person quite obviously is not a man.

Around here they tend to look like immigrants who fall at the lower end of any scale of the socioeconomic spectrum.

If they were paid a decent wage they could afford the premium channels on cable and wouldn't have to resort to coming up with their own entertainment. ;)

A few months ago I posted a poll on this board.  Of the members who answered, the average birth rate was 1.7 children per person.  That's even below the average in the USA.
