In this great FREE land of ours, WHY does somebody's CHOICE to be a Bible beliving Christian, UPSET you so?
When I read your constant insults towards those who simply put faith in God, I wonder what can be your motive?
I already know the answer of course and have any times explained it. Christians, just by being who they are, make people like you feel bad about your self love no fault anything goes lifestyles hurting so many millions of families.
I'd sure hope so con seeing that 80% of the US claims to be a part of the tribe, and the country was built by them. I know I know. Being built by Christians and being far majority Christian doesn't make you a "Christian nation". Convince Iran that they aren't a "Muslim nation" while you're at it.
The topic doesn't seem to be based around upset, nor based around ones personal identification. The question isn't whether transgender people should consider themselves in a given way, but whether others should consider them the way they consider themselves.
Do you distinguish the difference between someone who was born female and someone who is female by choice? Do you think a perspective partner has the right to know the gender identity of a partner before engaging in sexual conduct? Must I identify you the way you identify yourself?
Sex is the more biological term. In the biological term there's only 2, male and female. However, gender is what the person believes they are, which shouldn't really affect anyone.
It doesn't effect anyone until the Democrat Party becomes Transgender activists forcing our pubic schools and public events to change their restrooms to sanction these people with disorders, believing they are something they are not.
You think it does not effect parents of our daughters in public schools for boys, who think they are girls, to come into their bathrooms?
WAKE UP AND QUIT ACTING SO IGNORANT TO THIS POLITICAL CORRECT ACTIVISM GOING ON AROUND US.
Well obviously I disagree to the bathroom changes, that is stupid but what I'm saying is, why should their personal belief matter to you? Is it gonna kill you?
Plus the question asks if transgender should be considered a gender and so I gave my answer. I'm aware of the political correctness that's going on especially online. However, I did not say I SUPPORT transgenderism, truthfully I don't give a fuck, if they're transgender then they're transgender, if you're straight then you're straight.
You are doing exacty what those on the Left want you to do. While they are actively pushing their political correct fixation of any unnatural sexual orientation onto all people, you are their lap dog telling people it's not effecting anyone, just quit worrying about it.
If that were true, I would agree with what you say. Who cares what anyone beieves as long as it does not effect others.
That's sadly NOT THE CASE! You are like the frog slowly being killed as they turn up the hot water, and you don't even notice.
Political correctness is the Left's main focus today. Wake up.
"However, gender is what the person believes they are, which shouldn't really affect anyone."
This means why would someone's BELIEF not action, affect you in a personal way.
Why should someone who believes they are transgender in their mind affect you?
I'm not talking about their place and actions in society rather I'm talking about them as an individual and their OWN beliefs. Which is completely irrelevant to their place and actions in society.
And I know they're doing some mild shit about the bathroom changes which is a societal issue. If I went to the bathroom and CLEARLY saw a man dressed like a woman, that's where it crosses the line. That I care about however someone believing they are transgender shouldn't affect anyone.
What you NEED to understand is that Christians, Conservatives, etc. etc. DO NOT care how individuals think or believe. We have always known their are people in this world with disorders of some sort or other and guess what? We were not bothered by these people in the least. We did not speak out against them because they were not pushing an agenda. It was their own business and as you say did not effect others.
Can you even grasp what has been happening these past decades? It has become political and those on the Left are using it to transform America to their political correct socialistic commune. It's about money, power and votes. It is NOT "mild s@#&", as you called it, when an extremist Government wants to force every public school to change all their bathrooms to allow boys, who think they are girls, to use girl's bathrooms so they might feel better about their disorders.
Do you actually think the Democrat Party cares about these few so called Transgender boys not wanting to use the boys bathrooms? Come on! It's all politics and the Left has the compassion of animals as we see with their support of no restriction abortions of viable special needs babies.
WHERE IS THE LEFT'S COMPASSION FOR THE DISORDERS OR DIVERSITY OF THESE SPECIAL NEEDS BABY'S? They support killing them for merely being different.
What you NEED to understand is that Christians, Conservatives, etc. etc. DO NOT care how individuals think or believe.
So is the Bible lying when it commands the killing of non-believers, worshippers of other gods, homosexuals, adulterers, impertinent children, fortune tellers, witches and people who work on the sabbath?
The fool liar speaks again. Show the verses from the New Testament Christian faith speaking to killing people for being non believers, Gays, impertinent children, etc. etc., instead of always quoting verses from old Jewish law taken out of context.
Oh wait a minute..... Christ said he without sin cast the first stone! It says to love even our enemies!
You hatefilled anti Christian bigots are a complete waste of time. Get a life!
Which are all the commands to the Jews in the Torah and not to Gentiles in the New Testament. The Jews were commanded to do these things because moles and genocides towards they, the Jews, were in full manifestation in the stories. The Canaanites were also sacrificing babies to Baal by cooking them alive. Other tribes were continually attacking them until one of them disappeared. God chose their relentless enemies' disappearance over the disappearance of the Jews.
Your logic is equivalent to saying Jews would have been in the wrong to mass slaughter the Nazis in self defense.
So boys are automatically attackers? I have addressed this many times, yet you choose to ignore me. We are being respectful of other people's beliefs. It's activism for basic constitutional rights guaranteed to us by the 14th Amendment.
It may affect a perspective sexual partner, do they have a right to know the persons biologicaly assigned gender? Do they have an obligation to feel the same desire for a trans person as they do for a person who maintains their biologicaly assigned gender?
I'd rather just abolish the concept of gender altogether and let everyone be on equal footing. Love whom you want. Wear what you want. Let the bathrooms all go to unisex and/or single occupancy.
I'd rather just abolish the concept of gender altogether
That would be impossible. The biological elements are a perceptual constant in social interaction. To pretend these cues are non-existent would be an act of willful ignorance rather than enlightened humanism.
Do you find any obligation for a trans person to inform a perspective partner of their biologically assigned identity; or should the perspective partner pay no attention to those things?
Do it grenache. Wander into the woods and tell us if there are any spiders or creepy crawlies in there. The people have spoken. You're going in. I volunteered you to take one for the team. We need you to for... research...and let's throw a giraffe into the mix too. Hell, let's bring the whole zoo into the mix of your twisted affair. See if I give a chimp's nasty ass.
And what happens when the next group self identifies as animals and inanimate objects? We'll just accept the bullshit. And then they'll say having sex with your daughter is fine if you pull out. And then children will self identify as adults. And then we'll give animals voting rights. And then plants. Perhaps we could convince the world that screwing cats and marrying our sister is fine. I mean hell, why have standards and laws at all? Let's see just how far f*cked up we can can make the next generation...
Merriam Webster defines gender as "the behavioral, cultural, or psychological traits typically associated with one sex"
Gender is intrinsically tied to sex.
Sex is defined my Merriam Webster as... "either of the two major forms of individuals that occur in many species and that are distinguished respectively as female or male especially on the basis of their reproductive organs and structures"
Since there are only two sexes, there can only be 2 genders. Reproductive biology is what defines sex. When it comes to human beings, this is the case. There are 2 sexes. The only exception to this I could think of would be a biological hermaphrodite. I don't know how many hermaphrodites can both impregnate and be impregnated. It seems to me like that might effect what sex you could call them.
There is no such thing as a "transgender". You are either accepting your biology and who you are or you are pretending to be something you aren't.
People have the right to pretend. Getting upset over the fact that someone isn't playing along with your make believing is petulant.
