At no time have the majority of mass shooting in the United States been carried out by trans individuals. There have been some high profile shooting committed by trans folk but it never has come close to majority or vast majority.

Your hate makes you lie.

Your naivety makes you ignorant. I see that I wrote ten years. I meant to say two years, but whatever the recent time period is a lot of the shootings have been committed by trans people. Part if the issue is that most of the media in the US and all of it in Canada tries to cover the trans connection , if possible, is because they are afraid of offending the LGBT, etc. crowd and to keep the masses ignorant. Obviously, it has worked on you.

BTW, I don't hate them, I just know not to trust the mentally ill.

I’ve been waiting over a decade to hear someone say this….

Hmmmm - Looks like the Indian stock market just had the worst day in history, I wonder how are these related?

I just know not to trust the mentally ill.

Which is why so many of us don't trust Donald Trump.

BTW, being trans is no longer considered being mentally ill.

Man “truly believes” he’s a woman and we’re all supposed to call him miss , does that mean the next time a schizophrenic “truly believes” he’s king of the lizard people we are all supposed to call him your highness? Both are mental conditions that convince the effected something which biologically isn’t true so why do we placate one and not the other?

All the chicks with dicks running around out there definitely have deep rooted psychological issues.

What the hell!!! Well, everyone go fuel up with Russian blood diesel. I wonder how Trump expects to get Russian diesel past the EU blockade? Why not just end the stupid war in Iran? Oh I see, it makes more sense to give Russia money to build more arms to kill more Ukrainians than admit failure in the Middle East. The guy is a diplomatic trainwreck. An economic trainwreck. Honestly, how could anyone possibly believe Harris would have made a worse mess of things? Is that even remotely possible?! I don't see how.

It depends on who

BTW, being trans is no longer considered being mentally ill.

It depends on who is making the determination. Where the determination is being made also comes into it. PC (blue areas) says they aren't but common sense makes it pretty obvious.

Who considers trans as mentally normal? Incrementally normalizing the abnormal seems lately to be culturally or politically trendy. Why should trendy even be considered equivalent to normal? By definition, understanding the mentally ill is folly and a fool’s errand. I do not trust a mentally ill person any farther than I can throw one. Same goes for high percentage of homeless walking aimlessly up and down the street yelling at bugs. Watch or interact with enough of them and you will, sooner or later, witness one unpredictably and instantly go berserk. I give them a wide berth and prefer to stay as far away from them as possible. Anyone who claims they understand or can fix the scrambled wiring of the brain of the mentally ill is trying to blow smoke up the ventral sphincter of the gullible or willing. Mitigate symptoms- maybe for some. Fix- not buying it.

I don’t get the reference, were concert goers overly racist at the time?

Country music fans in the South weren't exactly "enlightened" in the 1970s there buddy.

For a while I had to deal with an individual that believed he was Alexander the Great. It's how he "identified." We did not cave in to his demands to to be recognized as such. Why? Because he believed something that could not possibly be true, and supporting his delusion was not in his own best interest. Now explain to me how telling someone that they really are the gender that they want to hear, as opposed to the obvious truth is in that person's best interest. They are mentally ill and their delusions should not be pandered to.

Canadian Woman Approved for Euthanasia After Losing Ability to Cook, Doctors Warn

A Canadian woman in her 70s received approval for assisted suicide after becoming unable to cook for her family and feeling that she no longer had value, according to two Toronto psychiatrists who say Canada’s MAiD system has expanded too far. University of Toronto psychiatry professors Madeline...

Except. It is offered as a solution instead of life saving medical procedures at times as mentioned in the articles.

Seems like you found the outliers. Approving one woman because she cant stand for long periods of time and a guy with IBS isn't a reason to jettison the whole program. Minor reforms would solve these issues.

And all those far right conspiracy theorists such as yourself don't? You don't think the 20%+ of Republicans that believe in Q-Anon have deep rooted psychological issues too?

The problem is that it is less about “dignity” and more about efficiency. Dignity would mean that this program would be part of a fully funded palliative care scheme. That would be a dignified way to treat people with chronic degenerative disease. Unfortunately it isn’t, because that is too expensive. As a result, the UN and critics have raised concerns how the program is used disproportionately on disabled people particularly those in the lower socioeconomic class.

The state sets the example for its citizens with how it sanctions killing another human. I don’t believe anyone has shown a societal benefit from it, whether in medicine or criminal law. Killing is about efficiency. It’s takes a lot more effort to rule it out as an option. Our societies are mired in a death cult approach to societal problems, with each side claiming the higher moral ground. Hopefully, we can get it together and live stream Maid and executions to classrooms of children so they can understand the ethics truly underlying the society they are joining.

Would you like an example of a "societal benefit" for killing a murderer? A young female correctional officer that I knew personally was murdered by an offender in the prison where she worked. Her name was Jayme Bindl and she had two little kids. The scum that strangled her was already in prison for life without parole (LWOP). Now he's still in prison LWOP because politicians in this state have decided that the death penalty is cruel. Had he been executed the first time Jayme would still be alive and her children would not be motherless. Now we can assume no other female staff is safe from him. Surely society would have benefited from his execution after his first murder.

It depends on who is making the determination. Where the determination is being made also comes into it. PC (blue areas) says they aren't but common sense makes it pretty obvious.

The American Psychiatric Association (APA): In 2013, the APA removed "gender identity disorder" from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). It was replaced with gender dysphoria, which refers strictly to the psychological distress a person may experience due to an incongruence between their sex assigned at birth and their gender identity—not the identity itself.

There you go.
