I'm at a loss as to how this thread became about "transvestites". Are you running with the accusation that 'Catholic priests are transvestites because they wear dresses'?
And from there to Trump bashing

It's supposed to be about the Religious Left as contrasted with the Religious Right. The Religious Left doesn't really care very much about transvestites but the Religious Right seems concerned.

Whereas the Religious Left supports and defends:

Quote them please.
You've read as many posts as I have on the topic, where the Christian Left teams up with the Non-Christian Left in supporting and defending it in several threads including this one. I'm pretty sure if I posted a bunch of such posts, it would violate the rule against calling out other members.

As I said, I just call people whatever they want to be called.
And you are more than welcome to do that. No one is trying to stop you. Unlike the language police who do want to stop you or me.
If I have a neighbor who is under the illusion that he's the Grand Marshal of the Trump Honor Guard for North Texas, I'll happily say "Hey, Marshall, how's it going?" Why should you care? You probably don't care in that case, because fake honor guards don't scare you.
I'm fine with that. Lie all you want. I don't need to because you are right fake honor guards don't scare me.

Maybe learning to accept that others have different beliefs wouldn't be such a terrible thing for them.
But then how would the GOP scare low information voters into voting against their economic interests?

And then you have a male who thinks he's a woman in a man's body. Weird, right? Just like the old man who thinks he's a Grand Marshal, but humoring the old man is fine, humoring the guy who thinks he's a woman in a man's body is a lie. I take that to be the position of the Religious Right. A person from the Religious Left is more likely to humor both of them. Because the Religious Left does not see gender nonconformity as a threat. Maybe, in some forms, sinful. Maybe sometimes delusional, but not a threat.

Because it doesn't trigger some people's anxieties to call the old guy a Grand Marshall.

Do you always invent weird ideas and suggest that other people believe them?

I don't believe you that this is what they support. i think you are taking an extreme example and assigning support in order to paint those you disagree with as unreasonable.

No. They are pedophiles. Pedophiles are attracted to kids below the age of puberty and generally are indifferent to the sex of the child.

Now, if they are attracted to post-pubescent kids, that's another issue.
Yes. If they prefer boys they are a homosexual pedophiles. If they like both s xes then they are a bi-sexual pedophiles. If you hey prefer the opposite sex they are a heterosexual pedophile.

So you've equated transvestites with drag queens? I think we've found the problem.

And I don't think "we would like to be not abused by other people, and accepted as human" is an ideology, although it might be an agenda in places where people do abuse them.

It might ease your anxieties to read up on the differences. Or, possibly aggravate them. Whatever.
All drag queens who are male and dress up as females are transvestites. Not all transvestites are drag queens.

They all have one thing in common--the most important and dangerous thing about them. They reject Christian gender conformity and would like to persuade our kids to at least not take it so seriously..
There is no such thing as Christian gender conformity. And who is "they" in your statement?
