    Everyone needs to cool down on the KGB comparisons. The KGB didn't knock on your door and question you. Rather, they broke down your door, took you away, and your family never saw you again. I know this because I have relatives who were sent to Siberia. Only one of them survived. Whatever you think of the FBI knocking on her door, they didn't arrest her. They questioned her. Police question people too. The FBI are just the federal police. If you think police questioning is fascist, then no crimes would ever be solved. She didn't need to speak to them. Unless they have an arrest warrant, they can't force you to do anything, and you have an absolute right to remain silent.

    I think religion clouds the very real concerns around transitioning children. I don't want faith to play a role in any medical decisions, even if the decision made aligns with me or my concerns. I don't need a desert sky daddy to justify my concerns, and it puts me at risk of being lumped in and ignored with religious zealots and bigots, when I'm socialist with minimalist spirituality. My child is at risk and I need more than religion to build an argument on.

    I agree with her on all the hospital malpractice and whistle blowing related to that. The FBI certainly should not be used for intimidation. However, if this is the man outside the PA abortion clinic "praying" he admitted to shoving a 72 year old clinic escort. He was acquitted of assault charges but he admit she shoved her. He wasn't "just praying." No one has the right to harass or assault people who have different beliefs than yours. Goes both ways. The escort was doing a job, Houck's only reason to be there was confrontation, not silent prayer. The only reason that got DOJ attention is because the law in question was federal not local. I'm also wondering why with an admission of guilt that he did shove the escort that he was let off.

    When you encounter something shocking at a prestigious institution in healthcare, as a new nurse, the first year you are stunned by the shock. Then, the second year you start coming to your senses and realize that this is indeed what/how healthcare is practiced at this place. At the start of the third year you duck and make the choice of keeping your patients safe, whatever it takes.

    While I have no objection to people practicing their faith, the things that came out of Vanessa's mouth added to the myth that those who oppose gender affirming care are extreme ideologues from the right. Her comments on covid and abortion made her lose some credibility among those who hold mainstream views on those topics.

      I get frustrated when people blend multiple social issues with gender medicine--it is a slippery slope. Lately gender critical folks are veering into the DEI complex and Gaza activism. While there is some overlap, these issues deserve to be looked at on their own. Seems like there is a knee jerk reaction to anything advocated by the progressive left which I think is intellectually lazy. Remember, these folks are reacting (or overreacting) to real things that happened in the past-- demonization of minorities and injustice.

      People need to understand that religious ideology poisons the waters of our dissent. Be religious, have your relationship with god, let it guide you, great, but it doesn't work as a way to fight against another ideology that cannot be disproven. The two are on equal ground, old religion vs new religion, but the gendies are better at _presenting themselves_ as objective and scientific. We have to fight against the whole false consensus issue with REAL scientific inquiry. The only way to beat them is to be more rational and show the world absolute objective truth.

  • @tamarpeleg7452
    @tamarpeleg7452 3 дня назад

    It was eye-opening to learn about the tactics that a respected hospital is willing to adopt in order to provide treatment that is illegal. Illegal medical practices have always existed, and society has often tolerated them when they aligned with widely shared ethical judgments-illegal abortions are a prime example. However, what sets the case of “gender-affirming care” apart is that we’re not dealing with some obscure private clinic, but rather with a major, leading hospital. Gender ideology has gripped some of the most influential institutions, and that grip is strong enough to push them to defy the law. While I certainly see the dangers in a large hospital breaking the law on such a significant scale and covering its tracks, what concerns me even more is how we can persuade these institutions and their supporters that they are mistaken in believing this treatment is beneficial. A religious argument, in this case, would be entirely unhelpful. Most people who support “gender-affirming care” are secular and liberal, and they view criticism of these treatments as stemming from a conservative worldview-one that would also oppose, for example, same-sex marriage. This is why someone like Vanessa, despite her courage and the valuable evidence she brings from the clinic, is unlikely to sway those who genuinely believe they are doing the right thing for these children and adolescents.

    It’s shocking that the insurance companies put up with being charged for medically unnecessary procedures. After all they challenge medically necessary procedures all the time. Even if they are bought off by an ideology into break medical ethics, what about their fiduciary duty to their shareholders. How very creepy that a female staff member is forced to inject a hormone into a male boss for the purpose of his misogynistic larping. Bet it gave him a boner to cross that woman’s boundary. He could have asked a male staff member - but no. It has to be a woman because it’s all about men getting something over on women and if the women show any healthy boundaries, to harrass them further using the power of an abusive system for their own narcissistic supply. I wonder whether those FBI agents were from Texas. I would have assumed that anything they did like that in Texas would not be countenanced by Texans and maybe cause yet another boomerang state policy effect they weren’t expecting …

    On Israe/Palestine, I strongly recommend a book by Jewish author, Richard Forer - "Breakthrough: From Fear to Compassion." Debates are always someone's opinion v someone else's opinion. Forer is very good at thoroughly exploring both sides. I would also recommend watching both the case for genocide at the ICJ: ruclips.net/user/live4f_yoal4gx8?si=kgFvuS1vxv2NATwi And the defence against the accusations by Israel: ruclips.net/user/liveH6CEKVSjg7o?si=--bCnqfZhr5Vpl_X As an academic your guest will recognise the importance of primary source over opinion. 👍😊 Seems like your guest has already recognised the Conflating of Zionism and Judaism creates a false one. It is also important to recognise the claim of AIPAC having undue influence over the US political system is a misdirection - All lobbyists have an undue influence over the the system. The unstated influence of Christian Zionism over the US system is far more pernicious, they aregreater in number, and presents a much more troubling influence for the Jewish Community. They really are the natural true successors of NAZI ideology.

    There is an ongoing philosophical debate among many former prominent atheists online that ideologies like Queer Theory and Critical Race theory can only survive in a society that has become detached from the source of its value system. Pride and vanity were once things to be ashamed of. The idea these were shameful was once largely derived from and promoted by the Church. I am currently reading "Inventing the individual; The Origins of Western Liberalism" by Larry Siedentop. It is a convincing recounting of the revolution bought about by the invention of the human being as worthy of consideration separate from their family, their clan, their tribe. I have no truck with Christians, I have found the work of C G Jung has enabled me to accept there is a place for the myth within me, as a vital organ. I call the organ my Conscience, it is not entirely rational and is capable of being amended (in a way similar to epigenetics) in accordance with which mythos it has been trained to accept. The Christian mythos has proven to be very robust over time and across different continents. I'm happy its the myth my Conscience has been loaded with, by the secular society I was raised in. I have to agree with Saint Paul, vanity vanity all is vanity. Others find basing reasoning on Christian mythology devalues and debases those views. I suspect those people are unaware how Classical Liberalism is firmly founded on the Christian myth and the paradigm it generates. Jews can be Christianised, they have developed the idea of being culturally Jewish and not necessarily being required to observe Judaism to the letter. Muslims not so much, and this is causing Liberal Democracies a problem in Europe. I think Trans ideology, Queering, theft of the fruits of meritorious conduct (Equity) and vanity (Diversity) are, when framed using the Christian story, evil.
