    Yeah. Funny how you can claim to be pro-life, and then whenever there's a mass shooting see the only possible solution as more guns.

    More guns for the good guys, bad guys don't follow gun laws.

    Gun laws make it difficult for bad guys to get guns.

    Fuck no dude, you can buy a gun off Snapchat, no paperwork, just cash.

    That's because there are insufficient gun controls.

    The problem is the guy on snapchat has too many guns.

    It's harder to buy surface to air missiles on snapchat, and that's because they're better controlled.

    I get you just want to feel safe, and you think this will do it, but we aren't Australia. The criminals here will always be able to get whatever kind of gun they want, whenever they want it. You're just disarming the good guys.

    Also, you have disturbing views on transing children. That's worse.

    What makes you think that?

    Most people would say that your views on transing children are more disturbing. Condemning a person to go through puberty a the incorrect gender is condemning them to a life of gender dysphoria. If you think that's okay, either you don't get what gender dysphoria does, or your enjoyment of the lifelong suffering of others brings colours any discussion you might have on ethics.

    Why would you ban guns if not for safety?

    That is incorrect, public sentiment is largely against gender transitions for children. The overall majority of Americans, 72.7% view it unfavorably.

    It just seems like there's a lot of support from these forever online trannies shrieking all the time.

    incorrect gender

    There isn't a correct or incorrect gender, you're just born to one and that's it. We don't get a say in it.

    condemning them to a life of gender dysphoria

    Surgery doesn't fix dysphoria. Even before the tranny nonsense, there were issues with plastic surgeons preying on these people. They will take your money and chop you up, even if nobody can see what you "know" is wrong. And it's still wrong after surgery. My own brother went through that.

    No. What makes you think that we aren't Australia?

    That is incorrect, public sentiment is largely against gender transitions for children. The overall majority of Americans, 72.7% view it unfavorably.

    The survey asks "Are you more or less likely to vote for a candidate in the 2022 midterms elections who supports allowing underage minors to use puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and undergo sexchange surgeries?"

    I'm against that, because I'm against surgeries for children, and in the general case, against cross-sex hormones. As I would think most people would be: And that is why doctors use puberty blockers. So that the decision can be delayed until the patient reaches their majority. Partly so they're mature enough to make a competent call, but importantly to ensure that the gender dysphoria is consistent before entering the irreversible part of the treatment.

    If you're "CatholicVote" you can construct a survey in a way that it looks like most people support your anti-trans agenda.

    There isn't a correct or incorrect gender, you're just born to one and that's it. We don't get a say in it.

    You're saying among other things, that intersex individuals don't occur in nature? Or just not in humans?

    Surgery doesn't fix dysphoria.

    Okay.

    I believe that it reduces dysphoria in most cases and completely resolves it in some. (Here surgery means transitioning including surgery. Also hormone therapy and living as the new gender).

    What's your best evidence that it doesn't?
