What is this? Please explain how its indoctrination. First let's see what the difference between indoctrination and education is:
Education aims to develop critical thinking, imparting knowledge and skills through open inquiry, diverse perspectives, and evidence-based reasoning. It encourages questioning, analysis, and independent thought to foster understanding and personal growth.

Indoctrination, in contrast, involves instilling specific beliefs, ideologies, or values, often without room for questioning or critical examination. It prioritizes conformity to a predetermined viewpoint, typically through repetition, suppression of dissent, and selective presentation of information.

Now show how it doesn't allow questioning, critical thinking, and logic.

Conservatives don't naturally develop empathy, so someone else has to show them.

That’s because it usually is a phase when children act in a gay manner. If a t were just a phase to be straight there would be no children. Follow the science

Source? You don't have one.

I'm not quite sure what you were trying to say at the end, but it seems like you're contradicting yourself. The point of the exercise was to help empathize with others, not convince people that being straight is a phase.

It’s quite simple. Two men together will not produce a child. Neither will two women together.

People don't need to reproduce to live a happy life.

Again, you still don't understand the point of an empathy exercise.

That's because according to psychology studies it is a phase for 60% to 90% depending on if they get social reinforcement or not.

Green (1987)- This is about gender identity, not sexual orientation. This has nothing to do with "gay being a phase".

Wallien & Cohen-Kettenis (2008)- Again, gender identity.

Steensma et al. (2011, 2013)- Yet again, gender identity and not sexual orientation.

Singh, Bradley, & Zucker (2021)- Take a guess: gender identity, not sexual orientation.

Ristori & Steensma (2016)- Is this finally something about sexual orientation? Nope. Just another 'study' about gender identity.

University of Groningen (2024) and German Insurance Data Study (2024)- There are NO official studies from either. I'm guessing you did a quick Google search and copied and pasted the first thing you found. Both are non-existent.

What did we learn? All of the sources you sent had nothing to do with sexual orientation, and the 'research' done on gender identity is very poorly recorded, biased, and unequivalently false.

In the future, I would suggest reading the 'studies' you provided before sending them.

That was part of what I said, you implied you wanted studies on that.
There's not a lot of studies on homosexual desistance into adulthood, but most gender dysphoria studies give "similar rates" but don't separate the numbers out.
In other words many studies were probably done and then were scrapped or buried because they didn't like the results.

When did I ever imply I wanted studies on gender identity?

I've noticed that you're using a lot of vague words and percentages. "60% to 90%", "most". You don't have evidence to support your claims, so you're just making up numbers atp.

If you're just going to yell, "trust me bro, the studies were done, but I have no proof since they didn't like the results.", don't even make a claim in the first place.

Those are the words from the studies and scientists doing then. Not mine.

Then don't quote them with such confidence.
0 ups, 1w
No, the words about the numbers being similar are from the study writers themselves.
