The Pushback against Leftism

Not really sure I'd class socialism as 'far' left in the same way I'd class fascism as far right. Was thinking more along the lines of communism, but maybe I'm being a bit rigid.

in any case 5 or 6 out of 160-odd is not going to trouble the establishment.

"Let's leave it there"...."there's no point bothering with this".....Can you actually answer any questions at all?

What absolute nonsense. These are the people at the forefront of demanding 'gender affirming care' AKA, never question if the person presenting at your clinic is trans or suffering from some other mental illness or shoved into their care by a munchie parent.

These people are criminals and when faced with the exposure of the abuses perpetrated at the Tavistock clinic, the HSE has decided to blithely ignore them and keep feeding Irish kids into that meat grinder, no differently IMO to they way the state blithely fed kids into the magdalene laundries ignoring the abuses that took place there. Siobhán Ní Bhriain, the HSE’s national lead for integrated care in the HSE will no doubt be facing a tribunal of inquiry at some point in the decade to come when everybody currently ignoring this disgrace is wringing their hands and demanding to know 'how was the state allowed to do this to children'.

Ya kids should be allowed do what they want...chop off an arm, breast implants, tattoos, implant horns, whatever, these old fuddy duddies get icky over loads of stuff...move over pops, is what I say, the patriarchy is dead!!

First we had the gay marriage referendum - which was not needed,as the government could have simply legislated with no need for a referendum. By turning it into a referendum issue, the government had a perfect smokescreen behind which it was able to bring in all sorts of cuts in funding and services at the same time as they were virtue signalling on the gay issue.

I sometimes think that the trans business is also being pushed as a sort of virtue signalling smokescreen, to distract us from other more serious matters like housing, cost of living generally, and the overall failure of the current economic model.

But after Covid, Ukraine etc, more and more people are beginning to ask the question: what the hell is actually going on here? And it seems to me the first major issue being questioned is the Trans agenda as applied to children and teenagers, particularly with regard to drug treatments and surgery for minors.

I don't think many of us have issues with responsible adults taking drugs or having surgery to address their gender dysphoria - it's when this treatment is being given to minors that problems arise.

What do you say to the vast majority who won’t change their mind? Something like “we decided to withhold medical treatment from you because it seems a bit icky to us. Sorry that your teenage years were agonisingly painful for you, but it made me feel better, and that’s the important thing.”

Would you like someone to explain to you the difference between trans people and wanting to look like a dragon? There’s downsides and risks to ALL medical treatments. There’s downsides to taking a paracetamol tablet. Withholding medical treatment is cruel and is ruining the chances for a vaguely normal childhood for trans people. The disgrace here is the HSEs failure to provide any service for trans kids and terrible services for trans adults here.

There are so many false equivalences in this post that the casual reader would be lead to assume it is parody.

Because it's obviously too ridiculous to be appropriated at face value. But by all means deflect.
