- Transgender people do not need approval to express their gender or change gender
- Expressing and changing your gender (self-identitying) should not be consulted by anyone else by requirment but rather a right
- Transgender people do not need to be "cured" or changed to meet stanards
- Transgender people do not need permission by court
- But overall, mostly, transgender people don't need requirments to self-identity
Medical intervention - In medicine, a treatment, procedure, or other action taken to prevent or treat disease, or improve health in other ways. (1)Legal intervention - A legal term that refers to the act of a third party entering into an ongoing lawsuit with the permission of a judge. (2)
Gender refers to the socially constructed roles, behaviours, expressions and identities of girls, women, boys, men, and gender diverse people. It influences how people perceive themselves and each other, how they act and interact, and the distribution of power and resources in society. Gender identity is not confined to a binary (girl/woman, boy/man) nor is it static; it exists along a continuum and can change over time. There is considerable diversity in how individuals and groups understand, experience and express gender through the roles they take on, the expectations placed on them, relations with others and the complex ways that gender is institutionalized in society
to claim or ask for by right and authority
- Why transgender don't need such interventions to be required
- Medical intervention to cure transgender
- Medical intervention to make you more so, like your transgender, gender.
I'm arguing that transgender individuals should not have the right to self-identify their gender without requiring medical or legal interventions. Medical and legal fields are very serious and should apply to non trans people. It's been applying to men and women and should continue to do so. If interventions accept transgender individuals, it would cause issues. For example when it comes to medical, a transgender person would be affected differently than it would a biological man or woman.
Interventions are unnecessary to self-identify
- Diagnosed with gender dysphoria
- Prove they have lived as their acquired gender for two years to legally change gender.
- Require trans people to undergo medical treatment or surgery.
Unfortunately, not much to say here. I thought Con might be able to present an interesting argument about when personal perception affects the way societies interact with individuals, and there were certainly the makings of such an argument in Con's first round, but they're missing key warrants. Forfeiting the next 3 rounds guaranteed a loss, and particularly with Pro's extensive response, the lack of continued argument from Con is glaring. Hence, arguments and conduct to Pro.
Devon missed too much of the debate,
And didn't really get beyond the stating of position,
Bella3sp was around for all the debate, by making 'any arguments, made better arguments than none,
Perhaps Bella3sp's arguments would have developed more if Devon had been around, but life calls, and one get's sidetracked.
Sources, both sides used roughly same amount,
Both sides understandable,
Devon apologized in comments, for missing debate, "Sorry I got really sidetracked. Not making any excuses." - #5
All good, it happens.
Sorry I got really sidetracked. Not making any excuses. Thanks for the opportunity and great job Bella. I'll do better in the next topic.
Should be a quick vote being that most of Devon's rounds were forfeited.
I'll have my vote finished by today.
Start thinking about your guys' next topic and post about it on the Tournament Entry thread.
Sorry about that judges, and Devon. I rushed on the last fifteen minutes.
I'll try to clear up my contentions and rebuttals a lot better next round.
I invited you to be a judge in The Tournament.
This is the first debate so far.
Others will be coming up shortly.
