I think any modern society is going to have people dependent on the state. The problem is that we have people working full time that are still dependent on the state.
The problem is the social safety net which everyone agrees is a good thing has become a multigenerational lifestyle with no stigma attached to it.
I think corporations have taken just as much advantage of the social safety net. They are relying on the government to feed the people they employ. I personally think the solution is to just go full UBI with higher taxes, but that's going to be VERY unpopular right up until it isn't.
Your solution, I imagine, is cut spending on everything except essentials. Defense, infrastructure, and maybe that's it honestly. Maybe it isn't even infrastructure? Basically giving corporations the wheel on healthcare and education. I just don't see how that ends up better for people.
I think permanently mutilating your body surgically should be the last option to any problem not the first option.
I think most of these toddlers who's parents say they're trans will either grow out of it completely or come to find out that they were never trans at all just gay and confused because they were children.
18 year olds are still children. But if they're legally an adult and they want to mutilate their bodies go right ahead.
I also don't think a child should be medically transitioning, but you caught on to what I was doing. If it's always "mutilation", then your problem is with the surgery, not the age of the patient. You avoided that one pretty well. I still think the government should just defer to the doctors though. That's what I would do probably. Interesting to me that Biden went full woke on it when I don't think he had to.
Mutilate:
1. to cut up or alter radically so as to make imperfect
2. to cut off or permanently destroy a limb or essential part of

It's mutilation by definition.
"To cut off" would count but the rest wouldn't. Is every amputation a mutilation? What about when you get appendicitis and they have to cut that part out?

The USA become a superpower without 90% of the government we have today and with even less of the spending.
America's strength has always been its people not its government.
The constitution was literally created to keep as much power from government as possible.
Democrats have been working tirelessly for over a century to take as much power from the people as they can.
Sure I did. The difference is I can understand what I read and you can only understand things if they confirm the opinion you had before you started reading.
"The Department of Justice has the power to file a denaturalization lawsuit against a naturalized citizen under two circumstances: first, if they obtained their citizenship illegally — i.e., they didn’t actually meet the legal requirements of citizenship — or, second, if they lied about or concealed something during the citizenship process that was relevant to their case."
You can't get a job at Wendy's if you lie on your application. Why exactly do you think US citizenship should have lower standards?
"But toward the end of the Obama administration, and going into the Trump administration, the government started filing denaturalization suits against people who’d committed other crimes that hadn’t been included on their naturalization applications."
You blame Trump for this yet the tactic started under Obama. Of course, you didn't even read the article.
Read this next part slow and then read it again:
"In November 2017, the government went a step further: It sued to denaturalize five men who had each been convicted of sexual crimes against children after they had been naturalized — because those convictions had included criminal activity stretching back before their naturalizations."
Thee human filth that wrote the article you didn't read are actually upset that CHILD RAPISTS are being persecuted for the innocent mistake of REPEATEDLY F*CKING CHILDREN before and after they were naturalized.
No decent human being would advocate for child rapists. Yet here you are.
You can lock them up for life without taking away their citizenship. I don't think that's a slippery slope you want to go down.
Because intersex births are .001% and almost no one comes across it in the actual world.
Incorrect.
It is estimated that up to 1.7 percent of the population has an intersex trait and that approximately 0.5 percent of people have clinically identifiable sexual or reproductive variations.

If you leave the appendix in it will kill you. That's not destroying or removing an essential part. Quite the opposite.
If people were cutting off their lower legs because they thought they were pirates and wanted to live as the true self they knew in their heart they were you'd have a point.
But, I can't recall any amputation I've ever heard of that wasn't medically necessary beyond doctors accidentally cutting off the wrong leg or arm in malpractice cases.
The Democratic Party has a high tolerance for unnatural behavior. Our culture is an abomination in the 21st century. I am against gay marriage and acceptance of transgender rights. Democratic social policies have destroyed the family unit in many parts of our society. The results of this are seen in the rising criminal violence and gun violence throughout our big cities and in many small-to-medium ones too. We need to return to a culture with respect for the values that people grew up with in the 50s. The founding fathers would be disgusted by what America has become. The dependence on hard work by God fearing Americans has been lost on the rest of the electorate that does not support Trump. Our open borders threaten both our personal and countrywide security. One party stands with wokeism, unnatural behavior and against the rule of law and that party is the Democratic one. The kind of socialist nation they want will sap the spirit of the God Fearing patriots who pray to return our culture to stability and respectability. Whatever Trumps faults may be, he does not support the moral decay which plagues out country today. We have SCOTUS and we will have both Houses of congress come November and the White House in Jan 2025: Lets roll! Impeach Biden and vote out the socialists. MTG>> AOC Globalism sucks. Bring jobs back to America. Ultra M@GA

If you ask experts at medical centers how often a child is born so noticeably atypical in terms of genitalia that a specialist in sex differentiation is called in, the number comes out to about 1 in 1500 to 1 in 2000 births.
Not XX and not XY one in 1,666 births Klinefelter (XXY) one in 1,000 births Androgen insensitivity syndrome one in 13,000 births Partial androgen insensitivity syndrome one in 130,000 births Classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia one in 13,000 births Late onset adrenal hyperplasia one in 66 individuals Vaginal agenesis one in 6,000 births Ovotestes one in 83,000 births Idiopathic (no discernable medical cause) one in 110,000 births Iatrogenic (caused by medical treatment, for instance progestin administered to pregnant mother) no estimate 5 alpha reductase deficiency no estimate Mixed gonadal dysgenesis no estimate Complete gonadal dysgenesis one in 150,000 births Hypospadias (urethral opening in perineum or along penile shaft) one in 2,000 births Hypospadias (urethral opening between corona and tip of glans penis) one in 770 births
1.7% is the highest number advocates could come up with without being laughed out of the room by other advocates.

I think in many cases, transitioning is medically necessary. Due to the political activity surrounding it, we probably can't study it like we need to to know for sure.
Your example is a gay women married to a transexual man.
Do you think it is at all possible that growing up in a home with activist gay mother and an transexual father could have influenced the child in any way?
Children crave the acceptance and approval of their parents. What better way to gain the approval of your trans father and trans activist mother than to declare yourself to be trans too??
At a MINIMUM, for a child under the age of 18, it should require parental approval (and I would call that bad parenting), and ideally, this should not be allowed to be done by doctors until the person is 18 or older.
One thing to have a person under age 18 identify as a different gender, but surgery is permanent. No permanent decisions like that should be allowed to be made by anyone under age 18.
Pretty sure it already requires the approval of the parents and a doctor. I don't really think it's the government's place to step in and make it illegal, but I also don't think it should be wholeheartedly endorsed. This is when the government should defer to medical professionals and step aside. Make them sort this out and don't poison your ballot
I don't know. Can't drink in the US until you are 21 or vote or join the military until you are 18. Having gender reassignment surgery before age 18 seems to be irresponsible enough that I think there should be a law prohibiting it.
I'm all for freedom, but those freedoms begin, in my opinion, at adulthood.

The Democratic Party has a high tolerance for unnatural behavior.
Well, that's BS and ignorant to the nth degree.
How many Republican women have had breast implants or Botox or dye their hair, wear makeup, get tattoos and piercings, shave their legs (and other parts). Fake eyebrows, fake eyelashes, liposuction, face lifts, and so on while on their way to hear a MAN talk about an invisible being in the sky and then home to eat a chemical-laden frozen pizza. None of that is "natural" behavior.
Regarding gay people, who's to say that it's not natural so as to keep the population down? Do you want to stop heterosexual women from giving BJs and engaging in anal sex? Certainly doesn't move the population along. Who anointed you the "Natural Police?" I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be to into a woman who was as "natural" as she could be...and guess what, she'd almost for sure be a liberal.

If there's a medically necessary case, then of course it should be done. I'm not privy to what that would be, but I don't pretend to know everything.
If you are an adult though (so 18 or older), have at it. Do what you want for any reason you want as long as it is legal.

Surely, you're a big fan of single payer healthcare.
