Earlier on I was reading about the wikipedia drama surrounding the page for Londonderry/Derry. I found it kind of interesting that wikipedia refer to the city as Derry instead of its official name of Londonderry because as an encyclopaedia I feel that they should be striving to be factual instead of appeasing a certain side.

I'll admit to not knowing much about religion but isn't Allah just the word for God in arabic? As in the same God christians worship? Please correct me if I'm wrong like I say I have only basic knowledge of religions.

Daktar posted:Wow, gently caress you, buddy. I'm probably the least knowledgeable person in the world about trans* issues and even I know that gender dysphoria isn't something you just cure with therapy. I suppose you believe in gay conversion treatments, too there are trans and then there are trans who wont shut the gently caress up about it, some of whom could really benefit from therapy. I'm not saying this to be snarky, I went through therapy myself for depression and drug addiction and it was the best thing i ever done (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

TinTower posted:Careful. You're veering close to "feminists would get more victories if they weren't so strident" territory. (I was at a talk a few months ago which touched upon stuff like this while discussing New Atheism's conscious parallels with feminism) And yes this means i believe in Gay conversion therapy psuedoscience well done to that poster  edit: quote:In America you need three months therapy before you can be prescribed hormones, so most trans people not only go to therapy but are medically required to if they want to have an endocrinologist prescribe them medication instead of using street hormones. Of course there's a socio-economic aspect where trans people without insurance cannot get this, and the fact that the endocrinologist (unless sympathetic enough to diagnose a general hormone imbalance) isn't covered by insurance even if they have it. But those people would likely go to therapy if they had the ability. I'm not american so maybe thats why I have a different viewpoint massey ferguson fucked around with this message at 21:01 on Oct 26, 2012 |
