I feel like idiots get what idiots deserve.

I can't disagree nor would Darwin.

However, I think if we're letting this happen, what's next? What's happening to unwilling patients that aren't mentally ill or really wrapped up in a fad?

Prediction: Soon "mentally ill" will be considered an insult, like retarded. The correct phrase will become "Differently Minded."

That's not really a stretch considering terms like "crazy" are already off the approved words list.

I've decided retarded is OK to use again. You just can't be talking about mentally handicapped people. just "regular" people who do retarded things.

Ha! I say it all the time too.

Thank goodness we won't have to fight over words like we will women.

"Uh, Rick, I don't think you can say retarded any more."

"Why? That's literally what this device would do, It would retard my brain function."

"Well it's about choosing our words to not be offensive."

"Well maybe choosing our words through the filter of what other people find appropriate it a retarded way to try and communicate."

Or something like that.

Rick wasn't wrong.

Yes.

I guess I saw that episode, and it inceptioned me a few years later.

Sophmore trans girl wins 200 meter race at state championships

Audience booed this person.

“The criticism is misdirected,” Zeigler said of those taking issue with Gallagher’s participation. “Their real problem is with the rulemakers, not this kid.”

And I mostly agree with this statement.

I keep reading about various female athletes/teams just forfeiting when faced with competing against a trans opponent. I don't know if it's just propaganda, though. You know how the internet is.

The story of the woman's volleyball team that had members hospitalized after getting power-spiked by trans opponents was rather compelling.

It's not a mental condition...

This is the biggest self-own I've seen in a while.

Finally someone in the medical field isn't playing politics.

The American College of Pediatricians is entirely political. This is not the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Guess which one is actually using science and which one is not.

Guess which one is nothing but a socially conservative shill group?

Neither of those points negate the other.
