Yeah it's all very stupid. The other week we had our Public Service television broadcaster release a "documentary" literally called "the Trans War" ("Transkriget"), scandalizing over these poor kids who may get puberty blockers and what irreparable harm it may bring to them. What if they turn transgender from it!

Luckily this conspiratory muck has been blasted in pretty much every other major Swedish news outlet, and has been reported to the regulatory broadcasting agency over 100 times in the first week. Though like it's still up there on their website, and who knows how many people have seen it who won't see the criticism and now have a back asswards position on trans people and their right to healthcare, backed by an "impartial and objective" source (that's what they've been reported for, they legally have to be). It sucks.

Trans care has become one of the most debated issues of our time. Where one side believes that care saves lives, others believe that it dissolves the boundaries between the sexes and risks causing lifelong damage. The trans care of children has come into focus as the number of diagnoses of gender dysphoria has increased exponentially and the country's clinics have more enrolled children than ever. On what grounds is trans care conducted today - and what if those responsible are wrong?

Hmmm, it sounds like they're engaging with the debate rather than taking a side in it. But my Swedish is non-existent, so I'll never know from watching it, hah.

Vaccines have become one of the most debated issues of our time. Where one side believes that they save lives, others believe that they weaken the immune system and risk causing lifelong damage. The vaccination of children has come into focus as the number of diagnoses of COVID-19 has increased exponentially and the country's clinics have more enrolled children than ever. On what grounds are vaccines administered today - and what if those responsible are wrong?

[TD1]

Yes - precisely.

I'd actually be interested in watching an episode on that.

And then they go on to only interview the antivaxxers, or parallels thereof.

I'm not really interested in going through the arguments here, but if you're interested translating the linked articles above should give some insight.

[TD1]

Yea, that'd be the rub. Maybe I can find transcripts of the series online.

I am not intended to offend everyone here , but today I read a post here in China ,it is a joke , one red neck was bocked in a fence , he shouted for help but failed , then he shouted there are only  two genders in the word ! He was heaped , but then he got a big fight!
Is that true , do there exsit such a sharp gender struggle?

[Starver]

(bocked==blocked, i.e. "stuck"? heaped==helped? ...if you don't mind me presuming what has been double-translated.)

That's not a gender struggle. It is a rather confused joke about the struggles of gender-recognition, maybe.

But there'll both be someone to be upset by the joke and others who'll use it against others. If only for the main jibe against the 'redneck', apparently smart enough to get out of the initial situation yet dumb enough to get into it already. (If you don't mind me dissecting the frog. It's not a particularly funny/sophisticated joke, so not sure keeping it 'alive' is a priority.)

In some places, but mostly no.

There's literally Christians super angry about the LGBT flag because "rainbows were given to them by god"

As a reminder of a genocide! Christians love genocides

Welllll, that's demonstrably false.

But they do get a buzz off relationships with extranatural beings, that is true. In that way the rainbow is God's.... wedding ring?
