It's nice to see how our society has normalized the concept of sexualizing children. Also...for the first time in my life, I agree with feminist about how we are living in a patriarchal country full misogyny. Women aren't just being turned into 2nd class citizens...men are now trying to completely erase them as a whole...and what's the reason behind this madness? Well as a society, we now covet the feelings of less than 1% of the population of men who happen to be mentally ill sexual deviants over the safety of children and rights of women.
I'm a Nhilist and ALL religion and spirituality is nothing more than voodoo to me but in my personal opinion...this is what happens when a society turns its back on the teachings of Christianity.

Kids deal with this chit everyday. At very young ages. You can't hide the reality of LGBT people from them. We don't have that society anymore where we marginalize and exterminate these people.

why does that guy talk funny? you actually get this question from kids a fair amount and you say - I don't know, maybe he is from another country and English isn't his first language
Daddy why does Billy have two Daddies? - because his daddies love one another
Daddy why is that man wearing a dress? - (I asked my parents this when I saw Boy George) - because he likes it
Daddy is it weird that I like Billy and he likes me? - Nope. You can't really control who you like/love
Not hard

"We don't want them using public bathrooms, playing sports, using locker rooms, and we'd rather put them in solitary confinement or condemn them to be violently raped and/or murdered." And you also want to pretend they don't exist.
There is no nice way to assign them to bathrooms, sports, or prisons because we constrained ourselves to "2 genders" and dichotomized everything. What needs to happen is a more careful approach of how we assign who goes where. And we need to make prisons safer in general and stop treating rape as an acceptable punishment for crime.

I think the vast majority of people who are srsly considering transitioning are pretty fking trans dude. Even if they regret it later, which some do, the vast majority do not. And it is understandably hard for them. Society should try to help these people, not laugh at them.

People have said they were pressured/encouraged by teachers and counsellors/medical proffesionals associated with trans support groups. One of the biggest things is that as soon as a kid says they have that they feel like the opposite sex they have been hit with "well if you feel that way it just means you are trans" and it continues from there.

I'll also add there is no perfect policy. You choose the least bad one. Some number of people are going to undergo reassignment and regret it. But do the benefits outweigh the costs for more people? If the answer is yes, you leave it. I'll also add that most trans afaik from the data do not actually undergo surgery. That's understandably a pretty extreme thing.

It is actually - the perfect policy is that you do not allow children to make permanent bodily changes via hormones and physical restraint devices and surgeries. Just like we say kids under 18 are not fully developed enough to make a decision on a tattoo or mature enough to handle alcohol. Pretty simple actually.

I don't care what they believe in...I just want them to have that right. I'm just saying, if you want to erase women from society or prey on children, you shouldn't have the power to label folks bigots because they don't want to associate with that disgusting behavior. Your behavior is a perfect example...I give my opinion and the first thing you do is call me a cocksucker or assume I'm religious and attempt to insult my god...it's just sad..sad and embarrassing

You mentioned "my " lifestyle. If I have misinterpreted your post and you were speaking more broadly, I retract my insult. If you weren't, then smd.
