**You know, sometimes I wonder if I’m getting this right because it has changed somewhat from the original LGBT. So I thought why not call this group queer and call all the rest simply vanilla?

I’d appreciate y’all’s feedback on this, if you please.

similar vein of research, doesn't bear directly on transgender, but very interesting.

what do you mean by psychological leverage?

If you had a RELEVANT poll that wasn't almost 5 years old, you would have a point.

Gallup is a relevant poll, but more important than that: Wow! You really suck at simple math. Even if your math wasn't totally and demonstrably pathetic, it doesn't take a rocket science to understand the irrefutable fact that a presidential term isn't "5 years," so Trump's prior presidential ratings couldn't be "almost 5 years old." Duh!

But you don't so you don't.. :D

Actually, you suck at facts, and I'll definitely remind you that a poll not yet even 4 years old isn't relevant the next time you contract and compare one president's ratings to another. Obviously, everyone here (with the possible exception of yourself) already knows you've posted similar information comparing presidents, but if you'd like to herein proclaim your ignorance by discounting all those past posts, knock yourself out.

It seems you cannot stop kicking your own ass repeatedly... even retroactively and into the future, you're rendering yourself pointless. :)

But it's not about them. It's about degree to which people with basically typical anatomy, endocrinology, karyotype, and so on can coerce other people who also have basically typical combinations of biological sex characteristics into overly-narrow boxes of gender identity that just aren't authentic for them. If you can enforce inauthenticity, you have a lot of psychological leverage. That's what anti-trans people actually want.

Anyone know why??

Yea.. Thats the claim. Let me know when you have relevant and REAL science (not the Democrat faux science) to support the claim...

I'll be around. :)

neurologists in recent years have used MRI technology to learn a lot about how human brains work, and have found brains to have just as wide an array of sex based characteristics as other parts of the body. people of the two most common sexual karyotypes, XX and XY, tend to have very different brains, but the trend is not absolute. people who identify as transgender (about 1 out of every 200 people globally) have a strong tendency toward brains that lie closer to female characteristics than their male cisgender peers, though not so close to cisgender females either.

tldr: transgender people have different brains just like hermaphrodite people have different junk.

Yes it's ridiculous..

But it HAS happened..

The fact you refuse to engage on it is because there is NO rational or logical argument you can make...

As for #2, you can't provide ANY facts to support your assertion. You provide facts, I'll consider your claim. But until then, the facts stand. Any human who claims to be an animal and truly believes that they are that animal is mentally ill. Period.

Any psychiatrist or psychologist who is NOT enslaved by ideology will tell you the same.

As to #3. Brains can't be a gender. Any more than a humans brain can be a wolf's brain..

Unless you want to make the argument that a woman's arm can be a male arm...

Now look who is making ridiculous arguments... :eyeroll:

1. can a human female exist who is also a member of the species canis lupus? not possible.

however:

2. can a clinically sane woman believe herself to be a "wolf?" yes, absolutely.

3. do these things have anything whatsoever to do with humans whose brains are transgender? no, not a damn thing.

Did I? Or was it the nebulous "left" said it somewhere and we are assigned the claim? Lets face it, the incoming administration is talking about it so I'm perfectly justified in talking about it. If Kamala had won you would be talking about her incoming policies. Why would you vote for someone you can't defend their policies?

YOU always claim President ELECT Trump "never follows thru"..

So YOU have nothing to complain about because NOTHING has happened yet...

How about Musk publicizing the names of government employees he wants to cut.

It's called "notice" you dumbshit..

And Musk is a helluva guy for giving it to those who are about to be fired...

You didn't mind when Democrats summarily fired everyone on the campaign without NOTICE nor severance..

Why is that??

Once again..

NOTHING but a hypocritical manifestation of your PTDS... Your Trump/America hate..

Nothing else...

It hasn't happened yet..

So no defense necessary...

Bullshit. He has been announcing them constantly. And "day one" policies have to be fleshed out otherwise they are not day one...

And yet, ya'all have been harping on how President ELLECT Trump ***NEVER*** follows thru on ANY of his promises..

NOW... Because it suits your Trump/America hate agenda... NOW You are claiming President ELECT Trump is going to do EVERYTHING he says he is going to do..

This is EXACTLY why it's IMPOSSIBLE to think you have ANY shred of credibility...

You say what your TRUMP/AMERICA hate tells you to say at one moment, even if it is diametrically opposite of what your Trump/America hate told you to say the previous moment..

You have NO CREDIBILITY, Bashi..

You are simply a cauldron of hate and bigotry with no real sense of reality..

You are ruled by your Trump/America hate and say whatever it tells you to say...

Sad

Did they? Democrats in the house have gained a seat and possibly two. Lost a few senate seats and Trump got less than 2% more votes. If that is "MAJORLY whipped"...I know that you have to tell yourself that to make it thru your day.. I understand..

Bullshit. He has been announcing them constantly. And "day one" policies have to be fleshed out otherwise they are not day one...

NONE of which has even HAPPENED yet..

You really think people are going to vote Republican when they are considerably worse off in 21 months?

Considering you have just got your asses MAJORLY whipped by President Trump and the Republicans..

Why in the cosmos do you feel you have even a SHRED of credibility???

No, your ignorance in science lost it for you long ago. As as pointed out by many your straw man does not match the subject of your argument.

I know that you have to tell yourself that to make it thru your day.. I understand..

The election is over, you are just avoiding Trump's disastrous policies.

He isn't even POTUS yet... He doesn't HAVE any "disastrous" policies at all!!

You are simply projecting your PTDS and your Trump/America hate..

Why not wait until he actually DOES something before you bitch and whine and cry and stamp your feet about it??

Hmmmm???

Now regale us with why tariffs are not going to crash the economy. 70% of our imported oil comes from Canada. 60% of our fresh fruit and 40% of our fresh vegetables come from Mexico. How is it even legal under the constitution? There is no national emergency by any statistic outside of Trump's addled brain...

NONE of that has happened yet..

It's simply a manifestation in your head due to your PTDS and your Trump/America hate..

Yes... Wallow in your hate... Good.. Good...

:eyeroll:

i don't know any better way of explaining this, but you really really don't understand what mental illness is. people believe all sorts of ridiculous things that most people would consider obviously false, without being mentally ill.

We're not talking about some kids playing cowboys and indians.. We're not talking about people who believe that aliens exists or that god exists or anything like that..

We're talking about ADULTS who are so deluded into thinking they are something they are not..

We're talking the Dylan Mulvaneys, we're talking the luser guys who cosplay as women because they can't handle men's sports..

We're talking about the men perverts who cosplay as women so they can live in a sorority house..

THOSE are the people we are talking about and THOSE people are mentally ill..

No ifs, ands or buts about it.. They are mentally ill..

and because you haven't provided context to explain in what way your proposed Wolf woman believes herself to be a wolf,

The fact that you think context is required is exactly the point..

NO CONTEXT is required to say that a woman who thinks she is a wolf, who demand that others treat her as a wolf is mentally ill... Period.. End Trans...

What we are discussing is the very fabric of reality..

If we can't agree on the reality that a human female CAN'T be a wolf, in essence the very FABRIC of fact and reality....

How can we ever agree on ANYTHING???

I want to hear you say it..

A human CANNOT be a wolf... Period.. End Trans...

Go on... I KNOW you can do it...

The election is over, you are just avoiding Trump's disastrous policies.

Now regale us with why tariffs are not going to crash the economy. 70% of our imported oil comes from Canada. 60% of our fresh fruit and 40% of our fresh vegetables come from Mexico. How is it even legal under the constitution? There is no national emergency by any statistic outside of Trump's addled brain...

But if you DO want to talk about the election...

Carville says young 'snot-nosed' progressive staffers hurt Harris with 'hissy fit' over Rogan

"The vice president was thinking about going on Joe Rogan’s show and a lot of the younger, progressive staffers pitched a hissy fit. Supposedly the campaign said that wasn’t a determining factor, but they did.

I'll say this to Democrats. Preachy females and the feminine woke messaging drove away male voters. After Trump's victory Democrats have the stench of wokeness clinging to them."
-Democrat Strategist James Carville

THAT is why your Democrats lost..

Because they ALWAYS carry the stench of WOKE and the American people are sick of it.

NOW you have major companies tossing their DEI bullshit into the garbage can where it belongs and are now BRAGGING how Anti-Woke they are!!

The entire Democrat Party is in the garbage can for at least the rest of MY life...

It's a great day to be an American!! :D

There are feral children raised by animals (in some cases wolves) that think they are part of the group, walk on hands and feet, vocalize like the animals that have taken them in. Not mental illness but socialization/conditioning.

And it's STILL a mental illness brought about by the socialization/conditioning..

A human CANNOT be a wolf.. It's a scientific IMPOSSIBILITY..

A human who thinks they are a wolf is mentally ill..

WHATEVER brought about the mental illness is not relevant..

It's STILL a mental illness..

And the WORST thing one can do is AFFIRM the delusion brought about by the mental illness..

But the whole trans thing is just a red herring to avoid taking about Trump's disastrous day one policies. Kamala did not campaign on it and basically said she would follow the law. Trump and his supporting PAC's on the other hand...

"Elections have consequences."
-Barack Hussein Odumbo

You lost. Deal with it..

Elaborate...

Since Trump's approval rating on his way out was worse than Biden's (to date), you have de facto admitted that Trump is the bigliest turd.

If you had a RELEVANT poll that wasn't almost 5 years old, you would have a point.

But you don't so you don't.. :D

}}}Fine.. Give me the facts whereas a woman believes she is a wolf and it NOT being a case of mental illness..{{{

Thank you for conceding what I already knew...

My apologies.. I misread what you wrote..

So, you believe that a woman who thinks she is a wolf, that there is a possibility that she is NOT mentally ill??

That's Democrat ideology talking, not logic or rational thought..

Until such time as you can find REAL scientific FACT (not Democrat "science") I will consider the question settled..

A woman who thinks she is a wolf is mentally ill.. Period... END TRANS...

}}}Fine.. Give me the facts whereas a woman believes she is a wolf and it NOT being a case of mental illness..{{{

i'm sure such a thing exists,

Thank you for conceding what I already knew...

but i have no intention of wasting my time on a tangent that's not even related to the point you were trying to make. it's your ridiculous scenario, you figure it out.

Not only is it RELATED to what we are talking about it is EXACTLY what we are talking about.

Because the topic we are discussing about is MENTAL ILLNESS by people who claim to be trans when all they are is mentally ill..

A female human who thinks she is a wolf is mentally ill.. You tried to argue that point and claim "not necessarily".. I asked you to provide scientific FACTS to support your claim that a female human can claim to be a wolf and NOT be mentally ill and you punted..

So.. NOW we are in complete agreement that a female human who claims to be a wolf is mentally ill..

Is it such a far stretch to extrapolate that to the idea that a female human who CLAIMS to be a man and has NO underlying medical or physiological conditions that would account for this belief, that it's ONLY in her mind that she just "feels" like she is a man... Is it so hard to extrapolate that she ALSO is mentally ill??

Remember. We're not talking about the people who have real actual medical conditions..

We're talking about the Dylan Mulvaneys. We're talking about the luser males who can't compete in male sports so they claim they are women so they can beat women in sports.. We're talking about luser perverts who want to watch naked college girls so he claims he is a woman to join up with a sorority..

THOSE are the lusers we are discussing here..

skill, yes. expertise, no. just because you're able to do something well (skill) doesn't necessarily mean you know anything about it (expertise). that's why great players don't always make great coaches, and vice-versa.

President Trump had/has the skills to bring peace to large portions of the Middle East and the expertise to know what he doesn't know and rely on the experts who DO know..

So a person who is born with both male and female genitalia, which gender are you gonna tell them that they must be

We're not talking about those with LEGITIMATE MEDICAL issues. THOSE kind of people are like .001% of the population..

We're talking about about the Dylan Mulvaneys and the moron women who thinks she is a wolf..

We're talking about the man who says "I want to be a woman because I believe I am a woman and you HAVE to treat me like a woman because you MUST affirm my delusion.. You HAVE to play along with my delusion.."

THOSE are the people that JL and I are discussing.

I already granted there are people with LEGITIMATE PHYSICAL MEDICAL issues that puts their gender in question.. But those aren't the cases we are discussing..

I asked JL, but he must have missed it..

Did you ever watch SAVING HOPE with Michale (Dr Daniel Jackson from SG-1) Shanks???

i'm sure such a thing exists, but i have no intention of wasting my time on a tangent that's not even related to the point you were trying to make. it's your ridiculous scenario, you figure it out.

skill, yes. expertise, no. just because you're able to do something well (skill) doesn't necessarily mean you know anything about it (expertise). that's why great players don't always make great coaches, and vice-versa.

Remember those outstanding seats in the House CW blogged about recently?

http://www.chrisweigant.com/2024/11/19/republicans-fail-to-make-major-gains-in-the-house/

If all the outstanding districts do wind up as they stand now then Republicans will hold 221 seats in the incoming House while Democrats will hold 214.

Adam Gray (D)
104,503

John Duarte (R) Incumbent
104,321

As it turns out now, as California continues to count the votes, the Democrat in CA-13 has currently taken the lead in one of the last remaining three (3) outstanding districts. If (operative word there) that holds along with the others that haven't changed since the article, then Democrats will flip another seat and will hold 215 while Republicans will hold 220.

So a person who is born with both male and female genitalia, which gender are you gonna tell them that they must be? Are they a male who was born with an unwanted vagina or are they a female who was born with unwelcome nads?

What about a female born with a birth defect to their sex organ? She was born with defective vagina… it looks and functions just like a penis for a male. How do you prove that her being born with a penis was simply not a birth defect and she should not have been born with a vagina as she claims?

Fine.. Give me the facts whereas a woman believes she is a wolf and it NOT being a case of mental illness..

Democrat "science" sources don't count..

Go ahead.. Show me your facts that a woman who actually believes she is a wolf and demands others TREAT her as a wolf...

Show me the FACTS that *PROVE* she is not mentally ill..

I'll wait..

And by "wait" I mean, I am going to bed and will check in the morning.. :D

i have another positive to add. Donald truly understands and responds well to the middle east, because the leaders there largely function the same way he does.

Good point. Yep.. President ELECT Trump has been awesome in the Middle East..

Hezbollah and Hamas would have **NEVER** started this shit under President Trump as Commander In Chief...

I think it was JMCT in the previous commentary (or maybe the one before that) that was whining and crying about the poor Palestinians..

But the funny thing is, THIS is ALL the fault of the Palestinians..

Due to the Pals support of terrorism and actually VOTING for a terrorist regime, they deserve NO SYMPATHY for what happens to them..

Israel has a blank cheque in dealing with the Palestinians up to, but not including, terrorism itself..

Israel has ALWAYS had the moral, ethical and legal high ground.. ALWAYS...

And, if the Palis continue to support, advocate and condone terrorism, Israel will ALWAYS have the moral, ethical and legal high ground..

ALWAYS..

And don't pull that PALIS ARE INNOCENT CIVILIANS crap... Hamas doesn't distinguish between Palestinian combatants and non combatants..

For HAMAS, EVERY Palestinian is a combatant...

Since EVERY Palestinian is a combatant, Israel has the right to attack ANY Palestinian...

But it's great JL that you recognize President ELECT Trump's skill and expertise in handling the Middle East..

That alone is reason enough to vote for him.. :D

Since Trump's approval rating on his way out was worse than Biden's (to date), you have de facto admitted that Trump is the bigliest turd.

Congratulations on your breakthrough. It was my understand that this was the column wherein we were supposed to praise Trump and not shine a ginormous spotlight on the deepest depths of his unpopularity.

No, she still sucks.

So you're now saying you oppose her. Okay, but would you like to perform some "slamming and attacking President ELECT Trump" since you actually haven't done that... yet?

Well, that's strange.. Because just several days ago, Bashi was slamming and attacking President ELECT Trump for this VERY cabinet pick...

In the Weird category, Lori Chavez-DeRemer has been tapped to Secretary of Labor. We just defeated this one termer of no known accomplishment. I wonder how Trump knew about her? Or is the pool to choose from that shallow? It was one of the more competitive and expensive house races nationally. Maybe the dollar signs?
-Bashi

If that is what qualifies as "slamming and attacking President ELECT Trump," then your problem definitely and demonstrably lies in your inveterate inability to understand simple written words. If you had any ability whatsoever to connect dots, you'd have easily realized that this is Bashi's district wherein Chavez-DeRemer is his soon to be former congresswoman having been recently defeated and conceding the election to his future congressperson merely days prior. Wondering why Trump chose a one-term losing candidate from his district to become Secretary of Labor doesn't constitute either a "slam" or an "attack" unless you are an idiot running with a hammer and seeing nails where none exist.

So Anyone wanna lay bets Bashi changes his tune?? :D Or else decides to look like the moron he is for opposing her selection.. :D

It would take a moron of unusual ignorance to take bets on something that never happened, unless of course your head is jammed firmly up your own ass (still running with a hammer) and since Bashi never said he opposed her selection.

Place yer bets!!! :D

"Don't test us"

Democrats should heed the warning...

If they don't, it will not end well for Democrats..

Trump's approval ratings jump in post-election poll, while Biden's figures sink to 4-year low

Trump's favorability jumped 6 points in an Emerson College poll, while Biden struggled with low job approval ratings

President-elect Trump is enjoying a bump in favorability since winning a second White House term earlier this month, while figures for outgoing President Biden sank to a four-year-low, according to a new poll.

An Emerson College poll found both men trending in opposite directions, with Trump's favorability jumping six points to 54% after the Nov. 5 election. Biden, on the other hand, has a 36% job approval rating.

President ELECT Trump is the bee's knees...

And Basement Biden is even a BIGGER turd then he was before... :D

How awesome is that!?? :D

So all your fake YAWNING was just you lying again..

Got it.. :D

Though I am impressed you finally actually backed something up. See it's not that hard.

BBBBWWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Yer busted dood..

And.. apparently... STILL not too bored.. :D

Funny how Bashi changes his tune about Chavez-DeRemer... :D

She ran as a dyed in the wool Trumper with way too many commercials that were full of lies and fearmongering.

In other words, she was dead on ballz accurate but the looney tune Demon'rats in the shithole of Portland OR didn't like the facts and reality.. :D

Oh well, as long as 2024 CW likes her, I guess we're in good shape.. :D

I don't fully trust him to follow through on any of them -- he changes position like a windvane spinning in a raging storm, at times --

Oh yea.. Because DEMOCRATS would never do that, right!!??? :eyeroll:

But, OK... OK... I said I wanted to see some POSITIVE things from 2024 CW about President ELECT Trump and 2024 CW {somewhat} delivered..

So, KUDOS to 2024 CW for the {very VERY} rare glimpse of bipartisanship..

There may be hope for him yet.. :D

We'll see how everyone else responds, though.. :D
