Transgenderism is at present a sort of mass Hysteria imposed by the left. Why anyone should take them seriously on things like climate change when they insist on adopting this fantasy about men who are actually women.
I agree with the author, but even she could be more honest and direct. She writes
” (because many progressive activists view opposite-sex hormones and plastic surgery as health care now).”
A facelift is “plastic surgery”. Chopping off a man’s penis is genital mutilation and should be called out as such.
Let’s say transgenderism could be exactly what the left claims - a person who is male in all respects but is actually somehow a woman, I guess in their brain? Such a condition would be one to engender great sympathy not adulation or encouragement.
In order to accommodate wonderful Islam, we’re also going to be told to accept polygamy, something they denied for so long but now it’s here. Also female genital mutilation is now okay, and soon to follow is pedophilia. After that they’ll have to think of something new.
We're already beyond this point. New York City already fines people for not calling transgendered people by their "preferred pronouns". And young kids are getting in trouble at school for the same thing ("misgendering"). The Thought Police are already here.
Great new phrases I learned from the comments:
“The Alphabet People”.
HAHAHAHA!
The Left will not and cannot accept a win and stop demanding concessions. There is no end for them. If society granted every demand, they would be forced to develop even more outrageous demands. It isn’t about whatever their crusade of the moment is. It’s a process intended to destroy civilization.
By supporting the homo perversion of marriage, she and people like her enabled this transgender nonsense. They were warned repeatedly about the slippery slope. They refused to listen. Now it’s too late.
Foresight is useful; regret is not.
“Hey, marriage is great, so let’s just give into the Left’s demands about the redefinition of a cornerstone of our society because not doing so would be bigoted.”
To put this another way, this person, understandably, took the position of the Republican Establishment, which was to ‘put the issue behind us’, because ‘we don’t want to be on the neanderthal side of social issues’ because ‘we cannot win elections that way’.
Well, not UNDERSTANDING your enemy means that they will always, and I mean always, defeat you.
It takes COURAGE on our side to understand our enemies. The first step is to understand that the MEDIA is an enemy. For example, when they show the 1% of DACA children going to Harvard, but not the 20% (or whatever number) of DACA children going to state prisons...we need to accept that we’re being manipulated.
On gay marriage, it was ONLY A START. 5 years ago their argument was “What harm will gays getting married do to straight people?” and we bought it, because we really thought it would end there. Now we see lives ruined, kids being sexualized in schools, not just without parents being allowed to opt-out, but without even bothering to inform parents, and the beginnings of the push to normalize pedophilia.
On a different topic, but similar results - how many Asian parents thought that allowing qualified blacks and Hispanics equal access to colleges would result in their vastly more qualified kids being REJECTED from those schools, so as to open up slots for underqualified blacks and Hispanics.
And it will continue, it will never stop...until we kick out the GOPe, who seem totally oblivious to this, and win enough elections, for a sustained period of time.
The intolerant demanding tolerance.
Actually, it’s more than tolerance..they demand you embrace their delusional lifestyle.
Strange days indeed in these interesting times. The only way to understand things as they are now, and how we in this world have gotten here so quickly, is to read what the Bible says about it.
We've been sent skiing down the ultra-dangerous, double black diamond Romans 1:18-32 slope and we're really moving now!
If you've read the Bible and have been paying attention to the signs we've zoomed past so far, you'll see where we are, where we're headed, more or less, along with the big-picture reason why this is happening as it is.
Buckle up.
Bethany finally woke.
A parent whose daughter or son indulges in a flight of fancy after being subjugated to public school propaganda could have their daughter or son taken if they fail to then put their daughter or son on life-altering hormones.
Hellishly bizarre?
Yes.
The truth of what is being pursued in society?
Yes.
Polygamy is next. Having only one spouse discriminates against bisexuals.
God created male and female, no amount of surgery or hormones will change DNA created by God....This is child abuse... and is a mental illness...
