Anti Trans And Why It Fails

[Amarok]

And empty promises that the system will be fixed to magically solve the problem by passing unenforceable laws because "It will be better this time" has never worked. 

The suicide rate for people with gender disorders in the US was much lower in the 1950's than it is now. For both sexes, it was only 4.5 suicides per 100,000. As is usual, the rate for boys was higher than that of girls, 6.5 vs. 2.6. During the '60s and ‘70s, GD suicides trended upward, reaching a peak in 1994 with a combined rate of 13.6. The overall trend declined slightly and then was more or less flat until 2011, when it began again to climb. There have been TEMPORARY reductions in suicide rates among gays and transgenders both due to the passage of legislation, but it always climbs higher than the point at which it fell.

stating statistics does not give us a cause nor does it support your conclusion that networking magically made things better or that the system can't be fixed you want to baby out with the bath water .

My statement about you not being able to provide evidence that you have ever personally stopped someone from committing suicide is entirely accurate. I'm not saying you have or have not. I'm saying that claiming to when there is no way to prove it without violating the ethics of what you claim your job is is an empty, valueless claim and fails on every level to be a persuasive argument. 

Actually the fact I know it's true is quite valuable to me 

realize you're stupid, so I'm working under the theory that you honestly don't know what the word empowerment means. I really want you to explain in painstaking detail why you don't believe that people ought to be able to solve their own problems. Please include why you believe transgenders are too stupid to figure out how to feed and clothe themselves without your little system. I really want you to be clear on these points.

If you want to learn a little about what empowerment actually is, educate yourself on the success of Black Wall Street. That is an amazing story of empowerment that resulted in one of the most shameful and tragic stories in American history simply because it all took place a good 50 years ahead of it's time.

If you want to learn what empowerment is educate yourself on minority banking systems like the Black Banks, or the money lending systems that Hindus, Koreans, and other immigrants have created to bypass the discrimination they believe exists in western corporate banks. 

If you want to learn about empowerment, educate you yourself on the successes of schools that teach the disabled trades that allow them to be self-sufficient, or the rehabilitation programs by veterans groups to provide jobs and homes for veterans. 

Fuck, just educate yourself instead of being such an ignorant twat.

So your whole case is a bunch of incidentals all of which I could point  out the problems with as a method of getting around discrimination . I know your stupid and ignorant and have religious devotion to the magically power of empowerment but that's all it is .

So far the only fixes you have proposed to your Bureaucracy-O-Doom has been to make even more decisions for trans people because you don't think they can be trusted to make their own, and to more pass laws that will somehow magically work when they have never done so before. 

And your solution is incidentals and magic empowerment .
