At least on a car if you try multiple parts replacements trying to figure out the cause, you’re only out some parts and time. What we are doing with trans people is essentially beta testing cures on them without knowing the cause. Unfortunately, these cures are essentially irreversible.

I know more about it than all my critics here think. I have a family member that transitioned, so I am very familiar with the process and the ongoing challenges. I just question surgery as the answer, and I question our societal acceptance of it all when the causes are not known.

No offense, Miss Mercedes, but everyone here is ripping me for not understanding how people are trans, and that its medical not mental, and here you are admitting that the medical community has not idea why people feel this way and that they have decided to promote gender reassignment surgery because that can’t think…

I asked a legit question of how you handle it. It is obviously an important concern for trans people. My point is is that trans people feel like they are living some kind of lie in the wrong body, but the lie does not go away after transitioning, it is just replaced with a different one. So how does that solve the…

So do you start every relationship with deception, hoping at a future date you have earned enough love to be forgiven for not being truthful about your transition, or do you out yourself up front? It’s not as simple as switching genders and that’s that.

Actually, they will continue to live a lie even after their transition. In every romantic relationship their choice is to not tell the other person and have it be a surprise (which is s sketchy thing to do to another person and potentially dangerous), or to out themselves up front, which defeats the purpose of…

How does it NOT affect me? We as a society are now condoning body mutilation as a cure for depression. Not only that, we are conferring on these people special benefits and rights, which affect everyone. Trans people want to be known only as their chosen sex, while at the same time demanding to be recognized as trans.…

It’s the same thing. You are advocating surgery to fix depression. I suggest that it is a slippery slope and that you are wrong.

So chopping off breasts and creating a scarred male chest, turning your body inside out to create a pseudo penis with silicone testicles is a normal fix for depression? Adding silicone breast, removing your testicles and turning your penis up into your body to create a faux vagina is fix for depression? Having to take…

By that logic are you ok with “transabled” people chopping of limbs or voluntarily confining themselves to wheelchairs because they feel they are meant to be disabled? Are you ok with “transracial” people identifying as and portraying themselves to be another race?

How so?

Flame away, but transgenderism is the only mental illness with surgical body mutilation as the “cure.”

They are still trying to sell those? I read about those years ago

Movies are hugely expensive undertakings, and studio bosses are trying to maximize their returns. So those are the projects that get green lit.

A rule of thumb on car salesmen: if they let you walk out, you probably got their best price. Either that or their sales manager had a hair across his butt that day and was getting indignant about the low ball offers from customers.

I don’t think the rear seat access is the reason the 200 is struggling. The Sonata has been a huge success, so have several other cars with similar rooflines.

For $3000 you can get a 1998 Ford Contour SVT - 200hp V6, 5 speed, leather, roof, much nicer.

Yes. They always think they are being urban hipster, when in reality they are just being poor.

Pretty much what I was thinking. A new useless feature to jerk off about.

Yes, on a cold winter’s night I want to “walk” my Tesla into and out of parking spaces. Why can’t I just drive it? I am surely not parking my $100k car in a space too tight for me to open the door, so what’s the point
