Trans-phobic?

On the old forums she exposed some rather nasty attitudes towards transgender people of the "they are all mentally ill" variety.

Probably just trying to gin up more business.  She IS a shrink, after all. 

And technically, "gender dysphoria" is in the DSM.  How else do you think people of trans pay for reassignment surgery?  Out-of-pocket?

Kinser, that's a great diet for anyone, diabetic or not. It's my kind of "preventive care" also.

What kinda name is 'nihilist moron'?
(Geez, it's not even grammatically correct.)

So, what makes you know so much?
Are you a doctor, or something?

I believe she is a psychologist. And apparently yet another one of the Alt Right people here, based on recent commentary.

By that post I take it you mean she's a psychiatrist who doesn't want to normalize Gender Dysphoria Disorder in the prepubescent.  Sounds like good work

Um, that's because they are Odin.

I miss the 80s.
R.I.P. to both.

Yeah, I miss the 80's.
But I also miss the 70's.  

[Eric the Green]

Yeah, I miss the 80s somewhat, but only on a personal and subculture level.
Yeah I miss the 70s, but also miss the sixties (same decals apply)

[SomeGuy]

God, the only decade I have any vague nostalgia for is the 90s.  That's vaguely depressing...


To Hell with it, I choose to believe this means my best decade is still ahead.  1T here I come!

Ah, The sad destiny of civics. You have nothing to look back on, and nothing to look forward to.

But many civics make the best of living in horrible and then dull times by building things and being collegial.

I somehow doubt that SomeGuy will ever have as much class as John Charles Daly. But who knows.

No, SomeGuy still "expects Eric to be stupid." So, I guess no, no class.

Man, for Nomads the 1T is our reward in old age.  I don't remember the 80s except pretty vaguely, besides I was a child anyway.  The 90s were okay.  The 00s sucked, the 10s have sucked green donkey dicks..

[Bob Butler 54]

Hmmm....  I've been reasonably content since I was born in the 50s.

Yummy!  I love carrots!

So, these guys say that you're a psychiatrist,
but I'm not sure I should trust 'em.   

So, is that true?  Are you really a doctor?
(a simple yes or no will suffice)

I remember the seventies and that was a decade I could have just as soon done without.  The only thing Eric the Obtuse remembers about the sixties and seventies is that he had a good time but he is lacking the details due to all of the recreational pharmaceuticals.  I rather liked the eighties and the nineties weren't too bad but you got the twenty-first century right.

The 90s seems like a golden age compared to the last 16 years...

Yeah, but sometimes sh*t happens to people that they had no choice in and they still pay. Your employer goes bankrupt and there goes your job, you are healthy and eat nutritional food and exercise and figure you can ride it out without health insurance until you get a new job, but then you find that lump...

[SomeGuy]

Yes, but if you hadn't gone looking for it, would you still have found it?  As I learned when I was a child, if you can't see trouble, it can't see you, either.

Gee kinda makes you think that health insurance should follow the patient and not be based on their employment status.  I wonder who has posted about that in this thread before.

That isn't entirely true.  There are people who look for trouble and find it, and then there are people that don't look for trouble but it finds them.

So they claim.  Sounds like excuse-making to me.  I mean, what were they wearing?

Usually it is excuse making, but sometimes it isn't.

I don't know, but if they weren't wearing a burka we all know men can't help themselves.

Whoa!  Whoa!  Not cool, man!  Rape is NEVER funny.  I was thinking more like this. 

Wow, that got dark.
