New Minnesota guidelines require public school teachers to "affirm" trans/gender/sexuality issues

[SeaMajor7]

It is ABSOLUTELY about encouraging acceptance (validating) and respect

Yeah, acceptance, validation, respect, OR ELSE!!!!!!

 

[Lesh]

Yeah, acceptance, validation, respect, OR ELSE!!!!!!

Or else? Where does it say that? It sets policy

For good reason.

Discrimination for any reason should be discouraged

Interesting that you and Minnesota seek validation for these people.
Says a lot.....

Or else you can't teach in a public school in Minnesota.

This discriminates against people's religious beliefs by forcing affirmation.

A very small proportion of society, almost miniscule Try another angle, Bingo

Why should I when you just agreed that a small portion of the population doesn't conform to your silly fundamentalism?

 

[Curried Goats]

Funny you haven't responded to the articles detailing the wreckage it creates

What articles? I took a moment to laugh at that video Elon Musk posted. I'm not sure what else you wanted me to do with it.

Listen carefully, stay away from children. I don't know if it's your political stance or something more neferious but you're putting yourself out there

Children need to be left alone, you nor anyone overrides the parents. You assholes took a village waaaaayyyy too far

You're the one that shared the study, of 24 people.

They're using brain imaging to come to their 'conclusions'.

Please tell us in laymen's terms what exactly they're doing within the 'Brain Sex classifier'. Tell us what exactly the 'Relevance Vector Regression' machine is doing with he images, what is it comparing, and what the coding is behind 'the Spider' that enables it to 'learn' or 'train' itself to do analysis of different samples.

These images constituted the input for the Brain Sex estimation.

2.3. Independent Training Sample​

The Brain Sex classifier was trained on an independent set of MR images from an adult sample obtained from the IXI database (IXI Dataset – Brain Development). This training sample comprised brain scans from 547 adults (305 females/242 males) with an age range of 19 to 86 years (mean: 48.1 ± 16.6 years). All images from this training sample underwent the same preprocessing as described above for our current sample, resulting in smoothed normalized tissue segments resampled at 4 mm voxel size.

2.4. Data Reduction​

Before training and running the classifier, a further data reduction step was performed as detailed elsewhere [34,54,55,56,57], using the Matlab Toolbox for Dimensionality Reduction (http://ict.ewi.tudelft.nl/~lvandermaaten/Home.html). In short, a principal component analysis (PCA) was run on the aforementioned independent training sample, and then the resulting transformations were applied to the study sample. Both PCA-transformed datasets, the independent training sample and the study sample, were then used as input for the Brain Sex classifier.

2.5. Brain Sex Estimation​

Brain Sex was estimated using a Relevance Vector Regression (RVR) machine [58,59] within MATLAB (The MathWorks, Natick, MA, USA), as implemented in “The Spider” (Spider). First, the classifier was trained on the aforementioned PCA-transformed independent training sample coding females as “0” and males as “1”. Then, the trained classifier was applied to the PCA-transformed study sample [54,55,57] generating the person-specific Brain Sex index—a number representing the degree of femaleness/maleness on a continuum (consistent with the training, a Brain Sex index of “0” signifies the average female brain and a Brain Sex index of “1” the average male brain).

I have more studies. This is just one. You so far have zero. As for what it was doing it had a control group of cis men and women who their machine was 88% accurate in determining on its own from brain scans and then when they imputed the scans of trans women who had not undergone hormone therapy their scans had them somewhere between the values of cis men and cis women.

Your warnings don't mean shit. All Republicans did was make it so families have to travel to blue states so their children can get the care they need.

 

[Marener]

Not material. They aren't forced to affirm each other.

Of course they are. What do you think would happen if a teacher said that Judaism is a false religion?

You're off on all tangents trying. Dude stay away from kids. Period

 

[the watcher]

What's the big deal? It's no different than requiring your science teachers to teach evolution instead of creationism or that your math teacher affirm that 2+2 = 4 instead of fish.

Or affirm that you have no rights except what is granted to you by someone you can't even identify, much less petition.

Stop acting like you soft Bingos will do something otherwise.

Find out what? Your kids don't belong to you. They have a right to seek care that you disagree with.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Can someone cite for me where trans issues are discussed, much less a sin in the Bible? Asking for a friend.
