A stunning new report on sexuality and gender exposes the shaky science behind the LGBT “born that way” narrative and the push to label young kids as “transgender.” Here are four of the report’s most important conclusions:
“The belief that sexual orientation is an innate, biologically fixed human property—that people are ‘born that way’—is not supported by scientific evidence.
“Likewise, the belief that gender identity is an innate, fixed human property independent of biological sex—so that a person might be a ‘man trapped in a woman’s body’ or ‘a woman trapped in a man’s body’—is not supported by scientific evidence.
“Only a minority of children who express gender-atypical thoughts or behavior will continue to do so into adolescence or adulthood. There is no evidence that all such children should be encouraged to become transgender, much less subjected to hormone treatments or surgery.
“Non-heterosexual and transgender people have higher rates of mental health problems (anxiety, depression, suicide), as well as behavioral and social problems (substance abuse, intimate partner violence), than the general population. Discrimination alone does not account for the entire disparity.”
The report, “Sexuality and Gender: Findings from the Biological, Psychological, and Social Sciences,” is co-authored by Dr. Lawrence Mayer and Dr. Paul McHugh. http://www.cnsnews.com/commentary/ryan-t-anderson/nearly-everything-media-tell-you-about-sexual-orientation-and-gender
There’s also the aspect that tinkering with one’s biochemistry in such a drastic manner can increase the risk of certain medical problems.

“With everything going on in America today, it’s easy to fall into a deep pessimism about the future of this country.
But every once in a while, a ray of sunshine breaks through the thunderclouds. Those glimpses afford us the comfort of knowing – if only for a moment – that the America we love is still very much alive. Battered, weakened, and disastrously off-course? Yes. But liberal Democrats have not yet drained all the color out of the red, white, and blue.” http://www.fixthisnation.com/conservative-breaking-news/judge-blocks-obamas-transgender-directive-to-schools/
A fish rots from the head down. 3 bureaucrats spent $12Gs dining in Paris, and we picked up the bill
A trio of Environment Canada bureaucrats ate their way through more than $12,000 worth of fine Parisian cuisine during last fall’s big climate change conference.
Those three alone accounted for about 1/10th of the $129,000 in meal claims by the entire 155-strong Canadian delegation to the United Nations Conference on Climate Change, also known as COP21, held in Paris from Nov. 30 to Dec. 12 last year.
So what did the caviar Liberal trio accomplish for their lavish wine and dine fest in Paris? We need an independent probe into, WHAT THE HELL WERE THEY THINKING?. Where are Bobby Fife and his ilk hiding out on this? Were they in on the pate de foie gras? Trudeau loves the media, it’s mutual for mutual benefits.
Great tune. I caught Elle King at a rock festival this summer. Fantastic performer. That woman can rock.
It is becoming more apparent that the Muslim Brotherhood has an insider in the Clinton machine and has had for quite some time. http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/presidential-campaign/292310-huma-abedins-ties-to-the-muslim-brotherhood
The Clinton campaign is attempting once again to sweep important questions under the rug about top aide Huma Abedin, her family ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and to Saudi Arabia, and her role in the ballooning Clinton email scandal.
At least we can say the Liberals have topped the $16.00 glass of orange juice Bev Oda was forced to resign over. Will any Liberal be forced to resign? Hell no,they plead ignorance, no idea it was costing so much. With bills like they racked up they had to have had to be a few glugs of wine with their meals.
Oops. Less money for Ontario to waste. That’s a good thing, right? Bombing cap and trade auctions in California, Quebec threaten Ontario’s $8-billion climate change plan
The cap-and-trade program Ontario’s set to join next year is having big trouble in California and Quebec, and it could mean Ontario’s much-heralded $8.3-billion Climate Change Action Plan has far less money to spend in reality.
For the second time in a row, a joint cap-and-trade auction held by California and Quebec has failed to sell most of the emissions allowances on offer. It leaves the two governments hundreds of millions of dollars short on revenue projections, and nobody can say for certain why the auctions are failing.
“Next year,the niqab.” This would not surprise me. It’s called creeping Sharia. What Canadians did not get during the election is that the niqab at the Citizenship ceremony was an important milestone for Muslim activists. It is political — not religious. By accepting the legitimacy of wearing a niqab in such an important symbolic context (at the point of assuming Canadian citizenship), we have rather reliquished the argument for keeping it out of other public sector contexts. So next up: RCMP. Schools. For some reason I think banks are still allowed to reject masked persons.

And please, it’s for laughs. Don’t excuse her by saying she’s mentally ill.

If you drive anywhere in Pennsylvania, from the turnpike to the old US routes to the dirt roads connecting small towns like Hooversville with “bigger” small towns like Somerset, you might conclude that Donald Trump is ahead in this state by double digits.
