Biden invites Dylan Mulvaney to the White House
"I get to sit down with Joe Biden with Now This News, and I get to ask him a few questions surrounding trans issues in the United States," Mulvaney said in a TikTok marking the 222nd day of Mulvaney's gender transition.

S E E D E D   C O N T E N T


Who is Dylan Mulvaney?

He is an emaciated male who wants to be a female. He has posted some films of himself imitating a girl on TikTok. The films are arguably demeaning to women. In the meantime the ever confused Joe Biden found time to invite the [deleted] over to the White House. Evidently to talk about Biden's support for " trans rights" and to endorse the operations performed on the young to permanently alter their bodies.


"Mulvaney, a biological male who identifies as a transgender woman, said the purpose behind the interview was to represent the transgender community and wore the transgender flag colors, white, blue, and pink, to honor the community. The post included behind-the-scenes footage of Mulvaney traveling and arriving at the White House in Washington, D.C., and the immediate reaction afterward with the song "Presidential Honors" playing throughout the background."

Does anybody think Biden brought shame to the White House?




The interview that Joe Biden found time for will be aired on Sunday

The article is about an invitation to the White House and a 'meet' at the White House. And yes, the administration has successfully demonstrated for all their critics to see that while dealing with a mountain of complex situations, lighthearted moments are easier to complete in mere hours or days.

George, there is nothing to criticize. So why are you feeling distress over a transsexual interview in the White House? Could it be you have strong negative feelings about a transsexual setting her feet on those grounds and dwelling?

Kids can't get tattoo

Sure they can. I think every state has a law restricting tattoos for minors, but that’s more about contract law and laws about consent than the tattoo itself. Basically a kid can’t get a tattoo on their own for the same reasons they can’t buy a car or have sex. However, most states allow that a minor can get a tattoo with parental consent.

So far as I know, there is no federal law preventing minors from getting tats.

but Biden now believes 14 year olds have a "right" to sterilize and mutilate themselves. 

Good luck finding a doctor or hospital that would perform surgery on a kid without parental consent. I imagine that anybody in this situation has a lot of parental and family involvement. These cases can be so unique to the individual, I’m not going to tell a parent what they should or shouldn’t do. However, I do think these kids need as much positive support as can possibly be given.

Yes.  The penny is not dropping here, is it?

A 14 year old can not order a drink in a bar with parental consent..... because as a society, we recognize that parents do not always make good decisions on behalf of their children.

These cases can be so unique to the individual, I’m not going to tell a parent what they should or shouldn’t do.

I get that... to a degree.  But we literally have hundreds of years of legal precedent telling parents what they must do and what they must not do because we understand the need to protect children from bad parenting.

But we literally have hundreds of years of legal precedent telling parents what they must do and what they must not do because we understand the need to protect children from bad parenting.

So are we going to trust the parents to deal with their kids' sexuality issues? Or not?

I really feel like these movements are all about what strangers judge from afar and that's a terrible way to make medical decisions. I don't agree with the concept of conversion therapy, and I think it has been shown to do more harm than good, but I'm still uncomfortable with banning it.

Likewise, I think surgical or hormonal intervention for kids is - generally speaking - a bad idea. But I have an open mind that it could be useful for somebody in the right circumstance. 

Ultimately, we have other remedies for when parents or doctors behave in a way that reflects irresponsible judgment and inflicts harm. The existence of those remedies should, in theory - along with basic humanity and compassion - result in doctors and families making the best choices available for the kids.

Unfortunately, that's not foolproof, but neither is any other aspect of parenting.

Ok, but you just said, 

Again, I misread the question originally.  I think you're responding to what was there before I corrected it.  My mistake, apologize for the confusion.

So to be clear, no... I absolutely do NOT think we should be doing conversion therapy on kids.

So are we going to trust the parents to deal with their kids' sexuality issues? Or not?

This is the larger question, and I think it's valid. 

In every other area of life, we trust parents to deal with their kids within certain parameters that we establish.

For example.... In Texas it is legal to ride a motorcycle without a helmet.  It is NOT legal for a child to do it, even if they're riding with a parent.  The idea being that if you're dumb enough to endanger your own life, that's up to you.  But we're not going to let you endanger your kid's life because you happen to be an idiot.

We don't allow kids to do things that could permanently ruin their lives, even with parental approval.

This is especially significant when we see parents talking about their preschool "transgender" kids.  No... your 4 year old is not transgender, any more than he's "a stud with the ladies".  You're going to have to find your Instagram followers some other way.

Well, it is more personal, as only one individual is involved in the activity at a time versus x number of victims when constitutionally approved and conservatively accepted guns are 'okayed' to mow down kindergartners, elementary, junior high, and high schoolers.

Why are MAGA conservatives triggered by trans-youth and not gun-shot mutilated kids suffering what will soon be lifelong PSTD from gun violence?

AR 15 CHILD VICTIM FACE SHOT OFF HERE

NOTE:  I was intending to put an image in the box, but looking at AR-15 gunshot victims can be sickening to some. . . maybe next time around. Just use your imagination.

It goes to show that the pretense of caring about these kids, any of there well-being and post-tragic factors is a political lie conservatives pull out every two and four years for election cycle fake outrage and posturing.

Their support of the indoctrination,

We have been indoctrinating our youth since we started having schools. We teach them glorious stories of the birth of the Union - how it was discovered by Columbus who helped to save it from the savages living here. We tell them our first president could not tell a lie. We teach them about manifest destiny. We push them to say a pledge to the flag every day. We’re constantly telling them that America is the “leader of the free world.” We indoctrinate the daylights out of our kids and have for a long time.

grooming,

What is that supposed to mean? What is it mean to you? Are you saying that adults in government or schools are trying to get kids to accept being sexually abused? People love to toss around this grooming word without any apparent sense of responsibility for what they are saying. Did people learn nothing from Pizzagate?

You want grooming? Check out a Catholic Church.

and sexualization of young children is shameful

Again, what does this mean? How do you sexualize a kid? By talking to them about adult relationships? If so, then why isn’t it sexualizing to talk about mom/dad relationships? Boyfriends and girlfriends? Is it sexualizing to teach the significance of a virgin giving birth to Jesus?

Do we sexualize them by trying to understand and support them when they feel different? Or do they learn that they’re loved?

He has posted some films of himself imitating a girl

He’s not “imitating” anything. She is living her life in a way that makes her comfortable and happy. But because it’s apparently fashionable on the Right these days to be mean and cold hearted, you can’t let her have that. So much for “don’t tread on me.” You have to crap on this person because of your own personal hangups.

The films are arguably demeaning to women.

I really don’t think you have such an argument - certainly not one that is rational or not based on hate, anyway.

How Biden helped avert a rail strike – and another economic crisis

And now after the human fuck-up claimed success.

Union rail workers unhappy with the new contract proposals from major freight railroads brokered by the Biden administration say their voices are not being heard, arguing that the deal struck in September granted unfair leverage to their employers in a dispute that could very well result in a nationwide strike.

The agreement was first reached between management and union leaders and brokered by the feds then has to go to the union membership to be accepted. They rejected it, if they choose to strike congress has the power to end the strike by forcing each side to accept the last offer made. This was done in the railroad strike 1992 when the house and senate passed a bill making the strike illegal and any lock-out illegal. Then congress gave them the last best offer the strike was over.

There is so much outright hatred towards trans people. One would think that the amount of hatred that they face would serve as evidence that the condition is physiologically and psychologically valid, regardless of how hard it is to understand by those who refuse to accept it.  Why would anyone opt to suffer through that kind of hate?  I don’t begin to understand it myself, but I do realize that they aren’t doing it for attention or popularity.  Imagine how sick you’d have to feel about your existence to choose to enter one of the most controversial and universally loathed life choices a human can experience.

Yes, it is a life-long interest in trying to live in the body one is given-despite the inconvenience or discomforts to mind, body, and spirit. Persons who are comfortable in their bodies, minds, and spirits have no reference point of what it is to 'overcome' self-hatred, self-lack, and self-denial. Those who deal with such tendencies do know about the aforementioned. And many succeed financially, emotionally, spiritually, professionally, and even sexually. On the other end of the spectrum some suffer horrible self disfigurements, 'poor' quality surgeries, suicide, and murders.

Unless he was invited to a masquerade party at the white house he should have dressed in a nice suit and tie  and left the make up at home. Of course it may have been a costume party seeing how he was meeting a pretend president it may be ok to come as a pretend woman

I just re watched the video attached to this article and it is interesting to watch a young trans-person be so unapologetically herself. Yes, the language she is using, her conduct, her synchronization of movement/s, and her 'promise' for more to come-can be shocking and disarming at first. But, so was the unpredictable successes of Rue Paul. The absolutely amazing positive reinforcement she has garnered from being chosen to be a 'first' of a type to visit a sitting president speaks to the change that is this nation's greatest asset. A sign of progress and movement.

All people of goodwill in this country should have the opportunity to avail themselves of this nation's highest echelons of society; each according to need, service, and presentation.

vote in what Mulvaney referred to as the "most important election of our lifetimes" in November.

This may be true for him.  For others, there are other things that make this election more important.

Does anybody think Biden brought shame to the White House?

I don't know about shame but the transgender issue does seem to have a unique ability to back people into paradoxical corners.

The libertarian in me says we should tolerate people and lifestyles that cause no harm to other people.

The person in me that did not just land on this planet yesterday is very concerned about society's sudden embrace of body altering procedures for (very) young people. The common wisdom on the left is starting to be something like, "it's better to block puberty before it is too late," as opposed to, "maybe blocking puberty will have side effects that we should not be taking lightly."

That's the part that of me that is concerned with doing irreparable damage to people under the pretense of helping them.

Then there is the issue where actual biological women are a protected class in this society and they are starting to be told that they can't exclude men who consider themselves to be women from their organizations and sports teams. I guess being a protected class ain't what it used to be.

Rachel Dolezal (a white woman) felt like she was a black woman and decided to head up the local chapter of the NAACP while passing as a black woman. It didn't end well for her. Are we all what we self-identify as being or aren't we?

Do stick with this philosophy for it is a good guiding principle. As for the areas where you feel the need to differentiate between details—do so with ample explanation and qualifiers. That is, when you encounter harmful or questionable acts and actions that need further investigation, critical review, or rejection take it on, ask questions; get answers. That way you inform your conclusion/s whatsoever it is! Even if it is just because you 'want to' think one way or another about an issue. :)
