Just because science is provisional doesn't mean we should reject where all current evidence leads us.
It doesn't mean you should accept them either without skepticism.
schools teach facts
There was a time where unskeptical people accepted schools teaching that Jews were subhuman as established fact.

it's obviously clear from the recorded suicide rates that this is anything but established settled science that should be universally accepted.
The soultions don't include giving attention seekers more attention to fill the void. It doesn't erase the reason why the void exists in the first place.
It's not reversing the rising suicide trend.

Do you have a link to that story about the 20 out of 30 children that identified as trans after the teacher indoctrinated them?

You're actually going to try to defend my Neo-Nazi family on this?
If they are American, clearly it's a family of Larpers. Actual Genocides don't happen in America.

Look, just because a million people died does not mean the US killed a million people..
If the violent regime change in Iraq is the justified gold standard, then Putin has global precedent on his side. Equally ineffective were the international condemnations against both regime wars.

I won't say why or justify my position because I assert that mine is the status quo and the status quo is always right!" is a serious response, particularly not from a self described skeptic.

There is literally no other body image disorder in which we accept that the persons viewpoint is valid and try to change their body to match.
I disagree. There is a huge movement supporting fat people so that they can be comfortable in their own bodies. Society is forced to redefine a fat person as a healthy person regardless of the science.

Russia has a long way to go to match the one million+ body count America racked up in Iraq installing a puppet regime.

as if it goes away or if school choice is passed I’ll no longer have to pay $500 a month to support a school system I don’t expect to ever use
You would still pay near that amount if school choice was passed..

A far better philosophy than scorning the uneducated. It's no wonder why the uneducated would revolt against their elite patronizing masters.
Deplorables need representation too.

"I am obliged to confess that I should sooner live in a society governed by the first two thousand names in the Boston telephone directory than in a society governed by the two thousand faculty members of Harvard University.
Not, heaven knows, because I hold lightly the brainpower or knowledge or generosity or even the affability of the Harvard faculty: but because I greatly fear intellectual arrogance, and that is a distinguishing characteristic of the university which refuses to accept any common premise."

He's also a lot more willing to entertain leftist bullshit than I am, though.
I don't mind it though. Even if it feels like a bad movie where you know the ending, it's very interesting to me when he would entertain the fringe ideas and go all the way down the rabbit hole with those ideas. (his phase when he advocated for abolishing the police for example)
You don't see a lot of that on restricted speech platforms.

I read Atlas Shrugged as a lighthouse beautifully shining through a raging storm of governmental creation, warning against the dangers of a jagged, rocky shores into which our crash seems fated.
Thomas Sowell has written many books describing the problem of a few experts planning everything instead of the collective minds as experts always fall into the trap of unintended consequences where a group of many average minds collaborating are more likely to cover all bases. The history of the Democrat party is littered with well meaning policies crafted by experts with disasterous, unintended consequences. The only reason why the government can't learn from its policy mistakes is because government fundamentally serves itself and its interests first and the people second. This is why we have the massive denials of every policy gone bad and the constant blame shifting. It's a jarring daily reminder of the reason why society fundamentally can't prosper under a bloated self-serving government.

Just to be clear, my use of the word to describe the 2022 elections coming up is a maybe not so obvious satire of the redefinition of the term.

A congressional inquiry forced USCP to admit that on January 6th, only 195 officers were deployed to interior or exterior posts at the U.S. Capitol.
It's obvious to any rational person that 138 out of 195 officers injured is a complete political fabrication considering all the arrests made by the so-called "injured officers." What is real is 153 police officers have left since Jan 6 along with the well publicized multiple suicides as officers were coerced to attack innocent civilians in a violent manner for misdemeanor trespassing and then lie about what happened.
As Obama infamously said..."The Police Acted Stupidly"

An ODE to 2022 Democrats:
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Democrat Establishments should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know liberty is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good Democrats, the last wave by, lying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the woke plight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave party, near death, who see with blinding sight
Lying eyes could blaze like meteors and sway,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my based brother, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Let them go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Since critical speech and Jan 6 was deemed violent, the point is valid.
I have no doubt based on the Summer of Love riots that many Democrats will react violently to the 2022 Congressional revolution ousting the established powers.

Ad-homs are the last defense of a Democrat cultist.
And also are part of the main reason there will be an insurrection against 2022 Democrats. Spiteful, intolerant, and arrogant people have angered people who normally would let most of this slide. Even the insane defense of the institutional grooming of children.
The last nails in the anti-science cancel-culture party(cult) are about to be driven into a well deserved coffin.

@cristo71
I can only speculate why the left wants the number of intersex and gender confused people to be as large as possible. It seems to be working, too, as gender confusion is increasing much faster than natural selection could justify…
It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.
The ultimate endgame is to create a nation of victims so that there will be nobody left to oppress Washington DC.
Junk science with fantasy-experts is just one of many tools in the toolbox.

@FLRW
According to experts, between 0.05% and 1.7%
you realize that is a variance of about 1000%
If those are "experts" that came up with that range, I would hate to see what sub experts peddle.
Science also has a term for those people in that variance. Just like it has a definition for woman and man.
If you truly trusted the science, you would state that term and not lie about what a woman is.

...because that doesn't ensure future generations will be properly equipped to make informed decisions on societal issues.
Do you really need a public education though to blindly trust authority? Seems like it's unnecessary. Indoctrination can be done at home as well.

Sure kids may need a push, but if they're consistently uninterested; barely scraping by, and grow more and more resentful with each year that's not education that's torture and they will act like someone whose been tortured by society.

I wouldn't necessarily suggest that public schools be "banned"; I would argue that their administration and financing require revolution. As it stands, I'd recommend parents not send their children to public schools less they intend their children to be indoctrinated and overly-sexualized.
This. The product of today's public schooling is of a minimal benefit to society.
The fastest way to implement this change is to have all parents make a choice. Not just the rich parents.

Con: because somebody else's kids can and will effect and you the rest of society. It is better for all involved if we invest in a future where those making decisions for society have cultivated minds.
ConCon: Society would be better off with organic education rather than an assembly line style education that produces obedient factory workers and obedient voters.
