What I often heard from workers when introducing a very generous (possibly doubling salary) profit sharing program: "No way will I give up 5 years of raises for profit sharing." About 80% of CEO compensation is in the form of performance sensitive eligibility.

After College Football Playoff snub, Notre Dame says it won't play in a bowl game The Fighting Irish's season is over.

Boycott Notre Dame! Use this "snit" to cancel contracts for Notre Dame matchups next year. It's time to end CFP eligibility for independent schools. Join a conference, Notre Dame!

There's the crux of our difference. It's not life threatening! The old Swedish study has long been discounted. Even WPATH's study found that, but they've kept it secret. 80% of gender dysphoria sufferers "grow out of it." Don't permanently harm adolescents because of the sinister suicide myth.

Yes, it is increasing. Thanks for your comments but I'm not interested in continuing what amounts to a "pissing contest of competing data." Do what's necessary to make medical interventions in adolescents as rare as hen's teeth.

Mamdani apparently advocates open borders. He might think New Yorkers embrace that, but an impressive majority of Americans reject it. All who cross the border LEGALLY are welcome. If they remain here LEGALLY, we hope they seek permanent citizenship. If they're not here LEGALLY, quickly deport them!

Gender dysphoria in adolescence: examining the rapid-onset hypothesis The sharp rise in the number of predominantly natal female adolescents experiencing gender dysphoria and seeking treatment in specialized clinics has sparked aΒ contentious and polarized debate among both the scientific community and the public ...

It's not rare, but rather medical interventions, especially in females, is dramatically increasing. The "social contagion theory" is looking more and more likely. Most of the self-described suffering is caused by comorbid disorders and not GD.

Because those facts are indeterminate, that impels us to back away from the idea that medical interventions for adolescents is the default. Quite the contrary. It demands that they be resisted, become very rare. Continuing "talk therapy" until the age of consent should be the default.

Conservative Project at Supreme Court Meets Trump’s Push to Oust Officials

It's time to end administrative tyranny by unelected elitists, which resulted from 1935's Humphrey's Executor v U.S. It must be overturned. We might still get Presidential tyranny, but we voters control that every 4 years.

I understand everything you and other WPATH apologists write. You say "facts" but a respectable scientist would scold you, pointing out that you also agree more research is needed. Why's that if you've given us "facts"?

Well, ok but what are you going to do about it? I suggest one thing Democrats never consider: figure out why people hate you. When I make suggestions to answer that, I'm blocked by many BlueSky members, despite the fact I'm unaffiliated and voted Harris/Walz because I detest Trump.

Final thought. If you can't change my mind, don't you think it's time to try another tack? I'm a behavioral scientist accepting of transgender people. I've seen the research you rely on. Your argument using equivocal research has so far failed.

Youth are suffering more under WPATH guidance. Most kids suffering gender dysphoria also suffer other mental disorders. Committing them to irreversible medical interventions is the height of irresponsibility.

Thanks for contributing to the discussion. I follow the evidence and won't yet change my position: WPATH is engendering hatred instead of sympathy. Telling parents suicide is likely without medical interventions is among the most dastardly and reckless I've ever heard. Only RFK Jr is worse.

They intend it to be rare. WPATH wants it to be the first course of action. They're poisonous to the transgender community.

No it's not. We can both provide equivocal research. There's widespread scientific consensus that more research is needed. Given that, European nations who lead in respecting transgender rights have altered their processes. Medical interventions on adolescents are now intended to be rare.

I put it in scare quotes for a reason. Between sanctuary policies and lenient deportation policies, the effect is "open borders."

I respectfully disagree with your position on the 14th Amendment but agree as to the 2nd Amendment. I've disagreed with many SCOTUS decisions but only Dred Scott struck me as meritless. Your contrary stance on birthright citizenship has merit.

Packing SCOTUS isn't going to solve the problem. The originalist position (i.e., conservative) is as legitimate as the "living document" (liberal) one. They're frequently in opposition but both have U.S. interests in mind. Congress can frequently "undo" SCOTUS decisions. That's your objective.

This is the right kind of "sanctuary law." Local officials should assist DHS in enforcing U.S. immigration laws, but insist that enforcement be done legally, which means excessive use of force should result in the arrest of DHS offenders.

You're naive. "And subject to the jurisdiction thereof" is a debatable phrase. You've revealed your interpretation. Here's a popular alternative: Its original intent was to restrict the clause to former slaves, and not include people here illegally. I await the SCOTUS decision and will abide by it.

America should follow England’s lead on transgender care for kids Its approach is neither as harsh as in red states nor as lax as in blue states

European governments and their medical associations have always been ahead of the US in transgender treatment and they're rethinking it. You and WPATH are wrong. You're grooming children, a shocking accusation but that's the result of your well-intentioned position

ACLU Attorney Confesses: Transgender-Suicide Claim is a Myth Arguing before the Supreme Court, Chase Strangio concedes that suicide is β€œthankfully and admittedly rare” among transgender-identifying people.

You're wrong about suicide because past studies have not controlled for comorbid conditions. Suicide ideation is caused by other disorders, not gender dysphoria.
