In this task, you are given a public comment from online platforms. You are expected to classify the comment into two classes: disagree or agree. Classify the comment as disagree if it is likely to raise a certain level of public disagreement, whether healthy or unhealthy. The disagreement can be due to toxic content (for example, disrespect, identity attack, insult, and threat), controversial content, misunderstandings, or conflicting opinions. Classify the comment as agree otherwise.

Q: Comment: I saw that BBC special the other day.  And quite frankly, I came away more distressed after seeing it.  Clearly there is intense anguish on the side of the children who suffer gender dysphoria.  There is anguish from the parents who want to do the right thing but aren't really sure what the right thing is.  There are the activists who clearly have an agenda (and not necessarily for the best interest of the kid) .  There are medical professionals such as Dr. Zucker who, it seems, really appeared to be trying to do the right thing for the child.

My take away is that it is complicated.  But based on seeing the BBC special, it seemed like the approach that Dr. Zucker and colleagues were taking to talk with the child and get to to know the child seemed to be the best approach.  And, if in the end, gender transition is what is needed, then so be it.  But rushing into something quickly that clearly has medical and psychological consequences should be done cautiously and thoughtful.

Q: Comment: So let me understand this correctly. Not a Canadian citizen or permanent resident but failed refugee claimant who left Canada; proceeded to areas of the world that are known to be zones associated with extremist activities; was captured by and detained by American forces; recently read about the Khadr settlement; and now wants a piece of our tax dollars in the sum of $50 million?

Even if the Canadian government told them everything about this guy, it doesn’t matter. He is conferred no rights under our constitution or our laws. He is a failed refugee claimants who engaged in activities against the US armed forces and was detained by the US government. 

Sue the Americans and stay out of Canada. You can’t mooch off our government. We already told you that you were not welcome here.
