Colorado parents of transgender 1st-grader file complaint over restroom ban

[Shell B]

This is the argument from incredulity fallacy. Can you articulate exactly what you find wrong with her undergoing hormone therapy?

Ugh. I'm getting so tired of teaching logic in this forum. I understand basic fucking logic and still I see so many misuses. There actually has to incredulity for it to be an argument from incredulity.

Let's pretend that her having hormone therapy is p. Things that are not good are q. For this to be an argument from incredulity, it would have to go something like:

1. She is getting p

2. I cannot imagine p being ~q

Therefore, p is q

or

1. She is getting p

2. No one can explain why p is ~q

Therefore, p is q

or

1. She is getting p

2. No one can imagine p being ~q

Therefore, p is q

Since I did not construct an argument at all, but rather only gave my conclusion, you cannot have any of the above or any imagined arguments from incredulity you may have mustered. It would be fucking stupendous if people in this forum would stop trying to gain the upper hand by pulling fucking logic out of their asses hoping that the audience is ignorant.

Now, moving on, pumping hormones into children is bad form for several reasons. Instead of spoon feeding them to you, I'll just give you a general idea via an expert. Given that you have a history of being contrary for the sake of being contrary, I won't put much of my own effort in, unless you state your opinion from the get-go and make an honest debate out of it.

Estrogen may cause growth to slow or stop early in children who take large doses for a long time. Estrogen may also affect the timing and speed of sexual development in children.

So, pretty much fuck any parent who thinks gender identity in a prepubescent child is important enough to risk the health of a six-year-old.
