Every single time a leftist asks me how a Christian like me could vote for Donald Trump, the answer is always the same: The last time I voted “for” a presidential candidate was 1980. Every other time my vote was “against” a candidate.

A fun question: Imagine Stalin and Hitler were still alive and both running for “president” of Israel with no other viable candidates. As an Israeli Jew, which one do you vote “for”.

However, all that being said, I look at Trump’s accomplishments and he’s proven to be both more productive and more conservative than Reagan. He’s the best president in my lifetime. I’m 64.

It would be far better if we were honest.

1. One’s gender identity is in our brains. We take it for granted. We need to realize that some people learn they are supposed to be, say, a boy, but they start to notice they feel inside like a girl. They might express it and be told they are a boy and they must act / wear / so what boys do. So they feel confused inside and try to hide the “wrong” feelings they have in their heads. It must be a sad, difficult life, to have this brain / gender dysfunction.

2. Suicide rate is high among people with gender dysphoria.

3. As humans, we need to try and find prevention and cure for this condition. Right now, the only treatment pushed is “transitioning.” This is a lie, to be able to “change your gender.” However, 50%of people are happier after transitioning. So half the people are helped somewhat.

4. More transitioned people with gender dysphoria kill them selves, probably because they hoped it would work and solve their identity problems, but it did not. The motivation is higher to commit suicide because they don’t have anything else to try, once they’ve tried the only “treatment” offered today. And 50% success is not a significantly good treatment.

5. I believe honest social education and therapy is the best treatment. Everyone should learn that some people are born with disabilities. Some you can see all the time, like someone without a leg. And some you can’t see all the time like autism or gender dysphoria. Allow the child to dress and play with what he likes. But have him keep his male pronouns and names because he is a male and will be forever. He is a male who feels like a female, and that is ok. A kid with Down syndrome is a 12 year old but maybe he lives like a 5 year old. And that is ok. We need to love and accept people with disabilities just as they are.

In my imagination, a Bruce Jenner would have stayed Bruce, but told the public he has had lifelong gender dysphoria and he is happier wearing X, and with careful thought at his age he would try a surgery or two. But he stays him no matter what he looks like because we need to accept that some males don’t feel as male as others and that is how things are.

6. We need to focus on prevention. This brain / sexual development takes place in a small window of days during prenatal development. Is it bisphenol a in the mother’s Womb? Is it any other endocrine disrupter present in her system? This is where we should be looking. To best help people with gender dysphoria. PREVENTION.
