In a not terribly long life, I have known well three transsexuals (as we used to say), and another three not so well. Not because I especially sought out their company, but just because I've spent a lot of my time around theatre and music and areas that attract those who feel "different". Two of those three friends I didn't know were transsexual until they were "outed", one very publicly - although with hindsight certain curious aspects of both their physiognomy and behavior suddenly made a lot more sense.
But that's the point: Even those far closer to them than I was weren't aware - because back then the object of having a "sex change" (also as we used to say) was to change from being a man to being a woman. There were still only two teams and you were simply crossing over to bat for the other side. The trans-life had little in common with "gay pride" - because the object wasn't to come out of the closet, but to blend into it so smoothly no one would know you hadn't always been there. Before their outing, the two ladies in question were more lady-ier than thou: both used to show up once a month with a box of Tampax discreetly poking out from the top of their handbags - even though, as we all understood in retrospect, they had no need of it. But they had chosen to live as women, and so they wished to be as other women. And they were mortified when they were exposed.

Many wish they could go fully back but can't.
For those, Christ offers a new life following Him instead of self. By forsaking the old life of sin and throwing it on Him, He gives new life and love - love not based upon sex but upon His love that rains down from heaven above - pure - and refreshing like the gentle spring rains.
In theory, I’d rather see trannies able to get decent jobs than have to pimp themselves in the seedier sections of town. In reality, I just don’t want them around me or my kids. That’s the conundrum.
“What happened this week was a strange mix of Huxley and Orwell, Brave New World and 1984, hedonism and totalitarianism, sexual diversity and ruthless conformity in everything else - a stiletto heel stamping on a human face, forever.”
Several of my female friends were gushing at how beautiful Bruce Jenner is now. I don’t find him beautiful. I think his deal has a lot more to do with a desire for celebrity than a desire to wear dresses.
Not so far back, I thought it was impossible for the Mullahs to take over, as Steyn puts it in the final line here. Now I think it is the most likely outcome. And I doubt it will be long now.
It would seem nothing is as it seems. That is the goal.
The reality of it is that they base their lives on sex and when they pimp or try to have a sexual relationship (with a man typically) there is a big blow up. They argue that yes, they are a female even though they don't have a real vagina. Fights ensue when the hormones rage in the man and the transgendered; sometimes resulting in death. It is so predictable.
I suspect the reason you don't want this exposed to your kids is that you want the possibility for having grandchildren and to have good relationships with your kids when you are old. Transgendering breaks relationships IMHO when everything is based on sex and yet is in flux. And mature relationships based on caring for the family (generationally) are often out of the picture.
Because they can still do their jobs does not make them any less ill. Bruce Jenner, and all the others mentioned by Steyn, are still males. Mentally ill males, but still males. Full stop.
And perhaps a desire to become young again. Jenner doesn't seem to want to transition to being a 65 year old woman, but a 25 year old woman. Why else would he present himself as a pin-up girl and adopt the name of a young woman? There aren't any other 65 year old women named "Caitlyn", that name didn't enter into common use until the 1990s.
Bingo
The man can write.
Against this lot in power now? I'll take the Mullahs.
So will I.
Cordially,
I'm thinking Jenner and the rest have a profound Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
This is a very powerful mental condition---b/c those w/ OCD's are compelled to give in to the compulsion...thinking something terrible will happen to them if they dont.
We do not know what triggers this compulsion....but they could get counseling to be reassured a normal life is possible if they don't give in to it.
Cordially,
I believe they call this a "Hobson's choice."
You couldn't tell they were dudes?
