    Poor old Sack-o-Shmoo. Can't keep his delusions separate.

    It's not delusional when you make hateful comments such as equating the transgendered with sex offenders.
    That is NOT at all what I am doing, and i think you know that.

    It's what you did two days ago.
    "My only fear of trans is when they target and groom children."
    Not only do you traffic in bigotry and stupidity, but you can't
    even remember which crazy train you're on from day to day.

    Yes, activists in the trans movement are pushing their agenda onto children, and i oppose that, as any sane and rational person would do.
    You, on the other hand, support trans grooming of children.

    But this activism, though reprehensible, does not put them in the same
    class as sex offenders, who are those who assault, rape, molest, or expose themselves.

    Toot-toot! Here comes the Shmoo Crazy Express!

    This bugbear seems to be the foundation of your delusions.
    It's possible that you can free yourself from the nightmare world
    you inhabit. But first you'll have to question why you are so
    enamored of loony fantasies of evilness. What does your
    therapist say about these persistent visions of imaginary
    predators? Also, it seems incongruous that you are obsessed
    with nonsense that's spoon-fed to you by professional liars
    while remaining totally oblivious to the actual crimes of the
    MAGA-droids. They are the ones who are trying to destroy our
    country, but you kick your hind legs like a donkey and
    claim all of it was devised by Soros and antifa fanatics.

    You, on the other hand, support trans grooming of children.

    Wow. I didn't know that. Your fellow traveler, Shmoo scottw, is
    the practiced veteran in making up strawmen, but since the two of
    you are both in the crazy train's locomotive, you might as well relieve
    him as stoker.

    https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/what-are-puberty-blockers-and-how-do-they-work/

    Half of transgender people aged 13 to 24 have seriously considered
    suicide in the past year, according to a 2023 nationwide survey released
    on May 1 by the Trevor Project, a nonprofit focused on LGBTQ+ suicide prevention. Gender-affirming hormone therapy can decrease this risk. A
    recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine, for example, showed
    that hormone therapy significantly decreased symptoms of depression and
    anxiety in transgender youth. Another study found that transgender
    teenagers who received gender-affirming care were 73 percent less likely
    to self-harm or have suicidal thoughts than those who didn’t.

    Medication that pauses puberty, specifically, has the power to prevent a
    mental health crisis, making the treatment a “profoundly meaningful intervention” for a young person and their family, says Meredithe
    McNamara, an adolescent medicine physician at the Yale School of
    Medicine... It allows transgender children and their families the
    opportunity to weigh their options carefully, without the constant
    pressure of physical changes, she says...

    Teens who had access to puberty blockers and hormone therapy require
    fewer gender-affirming surgeries as adults. The World Professional
    Association for Transgender Health’s latest standards of care do not
    specify rigid age limits for gender-affirming surgeries; instead they
    encourage providers to assess the needs of individual patients. Gender-affirming surgeries are not common among those under age 18 and
    are usually limited to “top surgery,” or a mastectomy.

    End quote.

    If you're against surgery, you're for blockers.
