It's not like there is a singular cause of amputee dysphoria either.

ok but it's beleived to be caused by similar things, wanting to kill yourself can be caused by having a shitty life, having ptsd, being depressed, body dysphorias, personality disorders etc.

and each of those subgroups have DIFFERENT suicide rates so can you really say its treatable in every case?
edit: i had to allcaps different because i yelled that irl

Of course not, sometimes they are too far gone. That's why it's important to use preventive medicine as soon as symptoms manifest rather than encourage and enable which will worsen the condition.

and like i said 5 times before there isn't a real treatment
edit: i will finish on that note the people in my class are getting upset about my chants for BIID rights

Look at these people arguing that the extremes of something discredits the mean.
What a great group of intelligent individuals!

Am I the only one who's annoyed by the video? Clearly there's obvious cherry picking going on. C'mon, people aren't that retarded. There has to be some agenda behind this. Who made this? "FAMILY POLICY institute of washington"... Ok, I think I get where this is going...

- "Life": Didn't even have to click on this to know it meant "fuck abortion"
- "Religious Freedom": Tbh I expected something about teaching the bible next to evolution in class... this one was pretty mild.
- "Parental rights": Ok so this one does seem to imply some form of "fuck scientific education". Also fuck vaccinations.
- "Marriage': Don't have to click on this one to know it means "fuck gays"

Edit: More ontopic: I think cultural relativism has its limits. Also, the attitude that that curly-haired girl had is really bad. Saying "good for you" when somebody makes hard to defend claims about their identity and also physical state is really condescending, as if you're talking to someone who's mentally handicapped. It's a disguised sense of superiority and apathy, and probably just as dangerous as somebody who's radically intolerant.

There's nothing wrong with any of these and you are delusional to think that being pro marriage means you hate gays.

Not now sheepy, nows time for the grown ups to talk.

In america that IS accurate though. Since "Pro-marriage" policies are never about creating incentives for people to get married beyond tax benefits (which may not necessarily be the case)

I'm sorry but a picture of a married couple with writing over it saying "Marriage" does not have anything to do with hating gay people. You should find something that actually says they're against gay people before calling them out.

"We believe life-long, heterosexual, monogamous marriages provide unique benefits to children and society that cannot be matched by any other relationship. "

You can leave now, you contrarian mongoloid.

The issue is not their desire to have heterosexual monogamous marriages. The issue is the Puush. Enough about this tangent though.

lest there be any more doubt about the "FAMILY POLICY institute of washington"

Look at the articles on same sex marriage, featuring great articles such as
"What Does the Bible Say About Homosexuality?" and
"How Same-Sex Marriage Threatens Freedom"

I think that having a healthy mother and father relationship is a lot better than having 2 mothers or 2 fathers for a child growing up. I'm no expert in this but I would think that there is evidence to back this up. I don't see how this has anything to do with hating gays.

Also I was only asking for something more solid than a picture of a couple with marriage written on top of it I don't know why this triggers you so much.

Edit: Here http://i.imgur.com/k93IyxS.png I was right in thinking that having homosexual parents can have a negative impact in certain areas for a child growing up. So can you explain how this has anything to do with "hating gays"

i love the "you post a shitty study and i refute it" game

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Family_Structures_Study

"Cynthia Osborne, who is on the UT-Austin faculty along with Regnerus, argued the study was unable to show "whether same-sex parenting causes the observed differences."[1] She also said that "Children of lesbian mothers might have lived in many different family structures, and it is impossible to isolate the effects of living with a lesbian mother from experiencing divorce, remarriage or living with a single parent."[1] Similarly, Gary Gates of the Williams Institute argued that the study's comparison of children of lesbian mothers was a less fair comparison than, for instance, comparing "children of heterosexual or same-sex couples who were raised in similar homes".[1]

Several writers criticized Regnerus' study for classifying children as being raised by gay parents merely if one of their parents ever had a same-sex relationship until the child turned 18.[9][10] Additionally, Regnerus himself acknowledged that other factors might explain the differences observed in his study, including "...a lack of social support for parents, stress exposure resulting from persistent stigma, and modest or absent legal security for their parental and romantic relationship statuses."[11] In the July 2015 issue of Social Science Research, Cheng and Powell reanalyzed the data from Regnerus' study and found numerous potential measurement errors, and concluded that Regnerus' conclusions were due to these errors "and other methodological choices"

In July 2012, over 150 scientists wrote a letter to the editor of Social Science Research criticizing the study and raising concerns about the journal's peer review process.[4] In the November 2012 issue of the journal, an audit was published by Darren Sherkat of Southern Illinois University regarding the peer-review process with respect to the Regnerus study (as well as another study from the same issue). The audit concluded that the peer-review process failed in these instances because of “both ideology and inattention” by the reviewers; he added that of the six reviewers, three of them were on record as opposing same-sex marriage.[16] Sherkat also dismissed the study as "bullshit" in an interview and argued that its definition of gay fathers and lesbian mothers should have “disqualified it immediately” from being considered for publication.[17]

do u read what u post

These types of posts always turn into 15-page threads where people only read replies with 10+ upvotes.

"hey im not being intolerant but i cant tolerate your lifestyle"

its not just that ur opinion is bad, ur just saying words that dont make sense when u put them together in a sentence

please stop posting

ok some people disagreed with the study but I don't see what that has to do with what i'm saying. I don't mind if gay people want to be parents as long as they are good, there are many straight parents who are really awful and gay parents who are good. I was just saying that the quote "We believe life-long, heterosexual, monogamous marriages provide unique benefits to children and society that cannot be matched by any other relationship." Is not homophobic considering studies have been done to show this is true. It doesn't even say that heterosexual marriages should be the only type of marriage allowed, it just says it has it's benefits which is true, being heterosexual does has benefits to being gay but that doesn't mean someone shouldn't be allowed to be gay or have a gay marriage.

Are you illiterate?

The wall he posted showed it is more than likely not true.

Are You Illiterate?

Yeah anyone that replies to a scientific analysis with the summary of "wall" should not be engaging in any sort of intellectual debate because it is clear you don't have a brain.

If you can't take the time to read analysis then you don't deserve to have scientific opinions. Please leave this thread sheepy unless you plan on using your brain.

I disagree, I don't think a few scientists disagreeing with it means it isn't true. Also it's been proven that being homosexual has many negatives compared to being heterosexual and I would think the same goes for raising a child.

Calm down buddy I did read what you posted and I only changed it to "wall" so it would take up less space when I quoted you. Your post doesn't prove that the study was actually wrong unless im missing something.
