one can assume your version of a "correct" answer is none.
I once got into it with CP and he made a statement about "an honest question" with which I tend to agree.
I asked what he meant by that comment regardless to see what he would say.
He said it was a leading question or one you already know the answer to but are trying to trap the other guy.
It is what BlaVe does every time he posts.
Your last choice in your poll is a perfect example that gives it away.
What if, hypothetically, someone doesn't care who helps us, but thinks the Iranians
will never stop trying until they get it? The nuke.
**** as the Israeli government is, would that taint "the mission" enough to oblige you to be against the action?
Consequently any person who believed in that hypothetical would be considered a naive boob and ignored.
Just thought I'd ask...

9.2.4 More recent international guidelines…
Since the publication of the York reviews, several new European guidelines have been issued in final or draft form, including those from the German AWMF, the French Society of Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetology, the Polish Sexological Association, theEuropean Society for Paediatric Endocrinology (ESPE), and the forthcoming final version of the French National Authority for Health (HAS) guidelines.43 These reviews have been developed amid growing international awareness of the weaknesses of WPATH’s SOC-8 and the outdated nature of the Endocrine Society’s guidelines reflecting the need to have defensible, localized, up-to-date guidelines that set the standards of care for youth with GD.
Unfortunately, these recently-published (or as yet to be finalized) guidelines suffer fromthe same or similar methodological weaknesses that have rendered the WPATH and theEndocrine Society’s guidelines not trustworthy and not recommended forimplementation. All suffer from non-evidence-based approaches to guideline development and exhibit one or more of the following problems: (1) guideline development groups are composed of individuals with unmanaged conflicts of interest relating to the provision of pediatric gender transition services; (2) the guideline takes an a priori WPATH-aligned position that medicalized pathway of hormones (and surgery) is the recommended treatment approach; 44 (3) the recommendations are not based on rigorously-conducted systematic reviews of evidence; 45 (4) individual studies that drive treatment recommendations are not appraised for quality, and their conclusions are accepted at face value; (5) the recommendations are not graded for strength, resulting in ambiguity in clinical decision-making.
9.4 Conclusion
The current landscape of CPGs for treating youth with GD underscores significantvariability in methodological rigor and trustworthiness. A rigorous guideline appraisaldemonstrates that only a select few guidelines, notably those from Finland and Sweden,meet high standards for evidence-based clinical decision-making. These Scandinavianguidelines emphasize cautious approaches grounded firmly in systematic evidencereviews, advocating psychotherapy and psychosocial interventions as first-linetreatments, and restricting medical interventions to carefully monitored research settingsor exceptional circumstances.
As shown in Chapter 9, the guidelines issued by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) have been rated among the lowest in quality and have not been recommended for implementation by systematic reviews (SRs) of guidelines.Despite their lack of trustworthiness, for more than a decade WPATH guidelines have served as the foundation of the healthcare infrastructure for gender dysphoric (GD)youth in the United States. cont page 159

Unlike most professional medical associations, WPATH does not require its members to be medical professionals. Full professional membership with voting privileges is alsoavailable to professionals in such fields as law, family studies, anthropology, and otherareas. Reflecting the diverse aims of its broad membership, WPATH treatment guidelines are designed to serve multiple purposes, ranging from clinical care to political advocacy.
WPATH is a dangerous organization at best….

Getting back to the original topic, 'Left wing Iran supporters' ... I don't believe there are any, in the proper sense of the word 'supporter'.
There may well be 'left wing' supporters of the governments of China, of Cuba, of pre-kidnap Venezuela ... because these governments nominally consider themselves 'left wing'. (Although it should be noted that there are many Leftwingers who are strong opponents of these governments, as well. Like the Right, the Left is not politically monolithic.)
And, at the time of the Iranian Revolution in 1979, there were indeed Leftists -- in fact the great majority -- who did not understand that the Khomeini people meant what they said about imposing Islam on Iran. They believed that the Islamists would just be a temporary phenomenon, a diversion of the genuine anti-imperialist sentiment of the Iranian masses. They equated 'anti-imperialist' with 'left wing/democratic'.
But now, I would be very surprised to find someone who is at the same time a Leftist, and a supporter of the Iranian regime.
However ... you can be a political opponent of a regime, and also want it to defeat another country's attack on it. Most Americans, of whatever political persuasion, wanted to see the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union defeated, without becoming supporters of Joseph Stalin.
So of course most Leftists want to see Trump/Israel's attack on Iran defeated, without at the same time approving of the Iranian government.
There are plenty of things wrong with the Leftist view of the world. Conservatives need to attack the erroneous views that Leftists actually hold, rather than something attributed to them that they don't actually believe.

Laken Riley, Jocelyn Nungaray, and Rachel Morin are still dead, too, fruitcake.Blackvegetable » 12 May 2026, 11:49 am » wrote: ↑ Ask Rene Good...
I'm guessing the inflation report sucks....
And none of them were out **** with armed goons. They just fell into the path of the scum those goons are looking for.
If Renee's death saves the next Laken Riley, Jocelyn Nungaray, or Rachel Morin, perhaps it was for the ultimate good.
Ya can't save everyone. Just try not to be standing next to them when they criminally interfere or criminally-adjacent interfere with armed men.
