@Forestluv You are a good teacher.

I agree that can be a problem. It's important not to turn gender issues into a dogma but genuinely seek out what is right for the individual child. It can't be a simplistic formula.

Trump is self-imploding because his ego is out of control. And that is fundamentally why he should never be allowed in office, because he is incapable of controlling his own stupid narcissitic impulses. He has the ego development of a 12 year old child.

Waiting? It's already over and it was shit.

Because I've understood things no meditation can show.

I mean hardcore retreats (for meditation). Or years of consistent Kriya yoga. I don't compare to psychedelics. There is no comparison for that.

No

Your biggest problem is that you have no idea if it will work as you imagine it will. You really wanna kill yourself on a belief? What if you kill yourself and turn into a piece of poo?

I have no idea.

For yoga or meditation to be effective it has to be done rigorously and methodically in huge quantities. Dabbling in it will not produce much if any results. It's all or nothing sorta thing. I am not a yoga teacher. To get results from meditation requires doing hardcore retreats.

That's far from true.

I was an atheist, until I realized Infinity thanks to 5-MeO-DMT.

You should take that up with your guru.

Well, at least you understand.

To be clear, I never said you shouldn't do yoga or whatever practice you have. I merely made a comment about the way I saw people doing spirituality at Isha. I am NOT disputing the benefits of yoga. Nor am I saying Sadhguru is bad.

Could happen, but you can't avoid parental duty in this case. Parents could err in either direction. And mostly parents err in the direction of demonizing their children because the parents are closedminded and brainwashed with right-wing transphobia. I'm all for a significant therapy requirement prior to surgery being allowed. This would be a good safeguard. But this will not appease right-wingers who oppose trans on existential dogmatic grounds.

Please stop piling onto this "debate" or commenting about Emerald. Just move on. This is derailing the thread. If you want to debate Elon Musk, start a new thread.

If you want to do brainless conformist spirituality, go ahead. But that is not what I do or teach.

@Emerald You literally wanted me to debate you. I wisely refused. Now I am the scapegoat. All that noise just avoid watching some videos. Sigh...

That's mostly what happens now. It's not like a kid is paying for his own penis surgery in secret.

Your position was that you didn't want kids to receive any transition treatment.

@Emerald I was never in an argument with you. And I do not care about winning anything here.

I don't remember what it was called. His basic program. It is not a cult in a technical sense. But his followers are brainless conformist sheeple. He doesn't teach them how to think, he teaches them how to be spiritual robots.

There is no contradiction in my position. Everyone is free to see a doctor of their choice for whatever condition they have. No doctor is forcing anyone to do anything. You, on other hand, want to tell 70 million kids what is best for them.

Musk deeply cares about what's best for humanity.
