At least the texts they seemed to refer to "Boy Y," which (no surprise) caused me some confusion unless the court or a reporter changed "it" to "Boy Y," (which would be misgendering), or they referred to the child's birth name, and they decided to replace the deadname with "Boy Y."

OK. If one person uses a term and other people don't correct them, then you can say they used the term too? I guess in this mixed up muddled up world that makes as much sense as anything. I would have thought the more problematic part of this whole situation was the fact that one or other of them, or both, killed Ghey - not what pronouns one or other of them, or both, used. But here we are - this is at least the right thread for this nonsense. Though this whole sidebar probably belongs in Trials and Errors.

Sall Grover is fighting a vital legal battle to keep autogynephiles off her app giggle which is for women.
About min 39 on this interview she reveals an absolutist position like Putin, no medicine or surgery ever for sex dysphoria. A brilliant articulate woman. Is she a transphobe or a voice from the near future? https://youtu.be/zPIl4vcVsQ8?si=Xt5o1sOPDiDwLE7t |

I think the Iatrogenic nature of transitioning is absolutely fascinating.
Absolutist positions can help society in some cases. No pedophilia for example, even though one can finesse ways into it as the Italans do with 12 as consenting age. I think heavy doses of estrogen killed my brother at 53, who prescribed the hormones and why? This should be a sensible discussion and I am not a nazi. |

If you're referring to pedophilia acting to abuse children, that has a victim. I have little problem with an absolutist position (or close) against victimizing someone.
Refusing medical transition in all cases, includes adult individuals. What is the justification? Also still wondering why you chose to compare to Putin. |

Putin recently banned all gender medical technology.
Sall Grover says there are no circumstances where medical technology is the correct approach. Is that clear enough? The existence of the technology is dragnetting thousands of mentally ill children into the nightmare. Adults are also screwing their families with their secret cross dressing to transitioning narrative. Check out the disgusting narcissist Rachel Levine. |

Another challenging aspect of this case is the narrative of it being an anti-transgender hate crime. It's true that the victim was transgender; but the two accused individuals had a list of several other potential victims, none of which were transgender. It seems from their communications that their preferred target was not transgender, and that the ultimate victim was a "back up". This suggests that the victim was not targeted specifically because of their identification as transgender, but for some other reason that was shared among the rest of the potential victims on the list of the accused.

Samson is somewhat mischaracterizing Grover's position. The app Giggle was designed to be a service for females exclusively. Males are, by design, disallowed to participate in the service. Grover's position is not to "refuse" transition. Grover's position is that even if a male has undertaken hormonal or surgical means to disguise their innate sex, they remain male. And as males, they are not allowed to take part in Giggle.

While I agree with some (not all) of what you have been saying here, I'd rather you not destroy the credibility of your arguments (and by association, mine) by referencing Putin. When you start invoking things that Putin is doing as justification for your position, you have lost the plot.

Yeah this is like mentioning Hitler in a discussion of the pro and cons of anti-smoking in public policies.

This is at the heart of the problem. Same sex attracted are being sterilized due to the false signals of the Conversion therapy bans. Stella O"malley made a completely coherent presentation to NZ Parliament select committee and was ignored. We now have a law that forces parents to allow access to sterilizing drugs by their children.
Here is a clip I just watched patiently explaining this in Australia https://youtu.be/XNHXRizonrI?si=vZ287zFJ9QOt36mJ Only the first few seconds are needed to understand the theme I am merely noting that Putin has a policy on trans, that does not mean I think he is right on same sex and waging war. |

Grover does say as I characterized, minute 39 and on in the clip I posted. It is the first occasion I have seen an activist take this absolutist approach, and after watching my brother go from secret cross dresser to full on hormones, then death, I will not say she is necessarily wrong.

I mentioned Putin as an absolutist on medicalisation. He might be contrasted with Iran, where medicalisation is the only way for gay youth to express themselves.
But point taken, there may be an absolutist nation that bans medicalisation but encourages full same sex expression of love. |

Inability to read a transcript, here it is from Sall Grover:
There are people who have gender dysphoria obviously and that is a medical condition. I think that it is a scandal that its ever been treated medically and psychologically in any way other than helping that person accept reality that they're male or female. I dont think that it should ever be a treatment to modify ones body to something they're not. Now, given that the Australian government is funding an autogynephile to take her to the high Court, estimated cost to her and her crowd fund, 1 million dollars, so that he can join her female only club, I think that should be part of the mix and her opinion appraised with that in mind.
