EU Finnish parents lose custody of child for refusing sex change treatment

No, I'm going to ask YOU to stop. This is a derail, and everything you've said up to this point is nonsense. I don't owe you a "philosophical justification" for any of my beliefs. There's nothing particularly "philosophically better" about being an authoritarian shitface (I'm sorry, demanding that people stop consuming a form of media where nobody is directly harmed and enforcing that at gunpoint is authoritarianism and fundamentalism, no matter how pretty you dress it up). That's my last word on the matter.

I will stop, but only because I have a soft spot for people who confirm all the prejudices I have towards porn addicts.

Philosophically, I think that allowing consenting adults to do as they like to be a big cliff where it’s safe to stand on the alleged slippery slope between persecuting gays on one end and taking away people’s kids to castrate them in the other.

A living society must have a margin that is neither allowed to spread and accelerate, nor is tyrannized beyond the pressure necessary to contain it.

Yes, absolutely. Leftists sometimes say that we don’t need guns to protect ourselves, that we should look at Europe.

Yes, let’s do look at Europe, where they can take a children away from parents to castrate him or the female equivalent. Where thousands of underage girls can be forced into sexual slavery and the police actually aid and abet the perpetrators because they’re Muslims. People who complain can then get put in jail for hate speech. People over there should be rising up with guns, if they had them and the guts to use them.

Though really, the parents are in part to blame too. They weren’t suddenly handed a 15 year old, they raised that child or let other people do it for them. You put a child into public school from a young age with teachers indoctrinated at leftist universities, let them watch TV and movies made by leftist extremists, let them read leftist books and listen to leftist music, while surrounded by peers and friends similarly indoctrinated - then don’t be shocked when they grow into the adults that they were taught to be by the institutions that actually raised them.

Which is why home schooling is so important - another right that many Europeans are denied.

I couldn't agree more; the pedestal that the regressive left places Europe on, as well as the condescending attitude most left-leaning Europeans I've talked to have for Americans, have both irritated me to no end. Well, we'll see how much better they all insist Europe is, when the European Union inevitably collapses under the weight of its own hubris.

The years 1914 to 1945 more or less destroy any argument about European moral suprority to America.

Seems like a textbook case of the Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria pattern.
Preceded by acquiring a "trans-trender" friend group, teenage, female to male, sudden and extreme.

"Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria" is a myth. It's not recognized by any respected medical authorities, and the only "evidence" for it comes from a poorly designed study in PLOS One, a journal known for having relatively lax peer review standards.
