Why does he have to do this with a reality show filming it? Why can't he just do what he wants in private.

I'm so sick of all this playing out in public.

brii

I am with you!

She has as much right to her opinion as anyone else here. Everyone posts opinions.

Thanks, it is MY opinion.

And I don't really care what anyone says because I don't intend to argue it.

It's perfectly fine with me what anyone else has to say.

Hyacinth

You're not supposed to disagree with anyone on this board, apparently. LOL.

Just realize that you are allowed to have your own opinions, but not your own facts.

It's not considered by some to be a psychiatric disorder. That doesn't mean it isn't.

There are also some people who believe the earth is flat. It's not.

The medical community says there's no such thing as Lyme disease, either....they're apparently wrong there. Believe it or not, they're not infallible.

We're not talking about a virus or bacteria, we're talking about transgender. And you are wrong, it is not considered a psychiatric disorder, no matter how many of you wish it was. The DSM is the official reference for all psychiatric disorders and types of mental illness. It's written by the experts, and they say transgender is NOT a disorder or mental illness.

Yes, I'm aware of the subject at hand. I know what DSM is. "The experts" ALSO deny Lyme disease; so if they can be wrong about that, they can be wrong about this.

You are wrong.

Why do you think they deny it? There's a diagnostic code ICD 9 for Lyme disease and there's diagnosis and treatment and research ongoing.

Noel, I've learned some people don't understand it's illogical to have an opinion on a fact. I like this quote:

"You don't need people’s opinion on a fact. You might as well have a poll asking: ‘Which number is bigger, 15 or 5?’ or ‘Do owls exist?’ or ‘Are there hats?'" (John Oliver)

That put it brilliantly, suzie!

It's completely illogical, and it shocks me every time I see it in action. It's like saying some people don't believe in gravity, it's only a theory.

I know. I'm not sure why it's hard to grasp but I saw Oliver's quote in a poster's siggy.

That without a doubt that says it all. That is a great quote! But wait, they didn't say WHAT kind of owls exist!! hahah, you know someone will ask.

When my grandaughter was 9, I was commenting on something, and said, "Does a Bear poop in the woods?" she thought and she said, "A Polar Bear doesn't" Always a wise guy in the in the group.

Why do I think they deny it - because of what Ford has been posting about her daughter's inability to get disability benefits based on the Dx of chronic lyme disease. Haven't you read all of her posts about this?

I guess that's why Yolanda Foster had to go to Asia to get further treatment.

Yorkie,

ICD-9-CM 088.81 is a billable medical code that can be used to specify a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim.

Disease Synonyms

• Acute lyme disease

Ooops.

Okay, I didn't see this snarky post before I replied. Obviously some people can't rationally discuss this without personal attacks, so I'm out!

Poor Bruce, what did that battleaxe do to him????

I hope it's not true! Until I hear this from his possibly puffed-up lips, I'm not buying into it ~ this may be speculation just to get people to watch his show, I don't know, but I'll believe it when I hear it from HIM! (even then it will be hard to believe!)
