No, I'm referring to them building narratives (or stories) out of Facebook posts. An example is the one you posted here in which a guy lied about being attacked for his haircut and the Daily Wire ran with it.
It's interesting that this is the part of my post you're taking issue with, not me pointing out the lack of any reliable data that they're basing their claim off of.

But you are entitled to think whatever you wish. Maybe the people who think they are tinker bell are actually tinker bells.
If there are lengthy studies that prove your point you shouldn't weaken your stance by smugly presenting flimsy and anecdotal evidence that hasn't been scientifically tested.

This has nothing to do with that stance. Just another example why it is in fact a mental disorder. Sane people do not waffle between male and female.

News source runs a story that's proven false later..... news source removes the story. Sounds pretty standard operating procedure.
But let's not get this thread off topic. It's about transexuals and their issues being mental.

I mentioned it as an example of how the Daily Wire uses anecdotal evidence to form narratives rather than using more concrete data before criticizing their narrative here that isn't based on a study, peer reviewed or not.
My criticism stands. I'm not sure why you're focusing on the fake facebook story and not the article, despite me mentioning it in all of my posts, but maybe you need to direct your request to stay on topic to yourself.

Is this like the DoD study that doesn't exist that you said exists and then couldn't prove existed?
Also, any past studies you may have (you didn't) posted arguing this point doesn't change the fact that this article demonstrates nothing.
Feel free to show us some data that backs up this thread. Don't bother replying to me unless it's with a study
Quote:James Caspian, a psychotherapist who specialises in working with transgender people, suggested the research after a conversation with Prof Djordjevic in 2014 at a London restaurant where the Serbian told him about the number of reversals he was seeing, and the lack of academic rigour on the subject. According to Caspian, the university initially approved his proposal to research “detransitioning.” He then amassed some preliminary findings that suggested a growing number of young people – particularly young women – who were transitioning their gender and then regretting it.
I don't see a problem with doing an actual study, and I don't understand why people would be opposed to it so much that a university is afraid to do it.

The fact is DSM V doesn't categorize being transgender as a mental illness and neither do the vast majority of psychiatrists and psychologists. Whereas gender dysphoria is.

They shouldn't be afraid. Ofc medical associations shouldn't be bullied into making medical decisions because of social and political pressures either.
Those people need help and instead of focusing on helping them through their problems we are trying to force everyone else to give them a wide berth so they can not feel uncomfortable.
We don't do this with any other mental disorder. It's irresponsible.

That's a good question, but one I wouldn't trust to find the answer in a daily wire article.

As to the OP:
If they want to alter their body; who am I to say no. I've always held it is a mental condition (as is homosexuality) and we've been back and forth on it enough.

That's what I believe most Libertarians would think as well.
