and generally kids are able to receive literally any other healthcare with parental approval but when it comes to this: no no no you can’t do that!

Um no i don’t. That’s not the point yall ever make. You’re just shifting the goalposts

that’s the premise of the argument tho, the argument is that those under a certain age are incapable of making informed decision. Why should it matter how spurious a decision is if they’re incapable of making it?

because the point isn’t to make trans healthcare safer like Jesse claims, it’s to question existing healthcare until it doesn’t exist entirely. If Jesse truly cared about trans people he’d have suggestions rather than purely criticisms

Jesse has never laid forward a system of trans healthcare that he would actually agree to and be ok with. He just uses that as cover. In reality, Jesse will never be done “asking questions” and casting doubt on trans healthcare.

Because every article Jesse has ever written is in direct opposition to trans healthcare. It’s far more likely Jesse platforms people like that because he agrees than some fantasy world where he magically draws the line

It is when you never push back. If i have a nazi on my podcast and just stay silent the whole time, i might not be agreeing with them, but im also not vocally disagreeing with them. At best: i tolerate them; at worst: i agree.

No it did. This is just the pitiful ceiling of your potential.

how much do they pay you to forget about your conscience? Try answering this one honestly Jesse: have you ever accepted money from the republican party or the heritage foundation?

I think that because of the nature of who you are, you’re incapable of caring about the consequences that could come to the trans people you write about. To you it’s a bonus

that’s because you’re not very bright 🩷

see how there’s a difference?

jazzcabbbage.bsky.social @jazzcabbbage.bsky.social · 5d

if you had to actually care about the consequences of what you do you wouldn’t be doing it

is he hanging out with people saying that we should torture puppies? no

is he hanging out and platofrming people who say trans people shouldn’t transition until 25? YES

Is that supposed to make you look good? I doubt you’re very involved at all. I really doubt you give a flying fuck to verify any part of your story or make sure that it doesn’t cause someone pain or issues. That’s kinda the point of what you do: causing trans people pain.

Can you show me an example of Jesse disagreeing with that? He’s part of a larger cause that pushes that as an end goal. He has not once disavowed said goal. He stands shoulder to shoulder with people saying that without any pushback. That’s enough to at least be complicit if not in total agreement

jazzcabbbage.bsky.social @jazzcabbbage.bsky.social · 5d

which is why Jesse would prefer to argue about *who* i’m leveling my arguments at rather than the actual substance of those arguments. Prime example of a coward and a hypocrite.

jazzcabbbage.bsky.social @jazzcabbbage.bsky.social · 5d

Jesse and his sycophants have, for years, pushed a narrative that trans kids are unfit to make decisions for themselves. Going so far to say that people under 25 shouldn’t make such decisions because “their brain isn’t fully developed”. But those same people are more than happy to exploit under 25’s

come on Jesse. Debate me. Go ahead. I have an actual degree in mathematics with a focus on logic. I’m down to wipe the floor with your ass any day of the week.

jazzcabbbage.bsky.social @jazzcabbbage.bsky.social · 5d

This is what you call a strawman, i’m leveling my arguments at Jesse specifically, not the atlantic. I never even mentioned the atlantic.

Shocking that Jesse doesn’t understand basic logic (not really that shocking actually)

jazzcabbbage.bsky.social @jazzcabbbage.bsky.social · 5d

um what? was that supposed to make sense?

jazzcabbbage.bsky.social @jazzcabbbage.bsky.social · 5d

100 million dollars says he doesn’t respond because Jesse only selectively responds to comments he knows he can twist—he’s like charlie kirk in that way. He distorts reality, facts, and science to fit his narrative.

jazzcabbbage.bsky.social @jazzcabbbage.bsky.social · 5d

why don’t you stay there and not come back🩷

Jesse himself said he had them sign a waiver so he contradicted you
