No parent should want their child to suffer and die - either at the hands of an enemy combatant - or by a doctor and their child's own hand when they finally decide to end their suffering because they believe that the evil spirits won?

Why do you make it seem like I would be for either choice?
But you said being taught tolerance for LGBTs was worse than war. If your child ends her life for fear of evil spirits then she had more problems than just being exposed to her LGBT classmates.

Yes, that certainly convinced me that the question should be left up to experts in the field.
Experts in one field can sometimes overextend themselves into others, making unjustified claims in the name of political gain, wouldn't you say?

I don't think we have to have congressional hearings to establish this sort of epistemic trespassing as a fact.
But it is only the least bit relevant when applied to the literal and inerrant Bible Jesus.
No. It first depends on whether the "Jesus expert" in question is a mythicist .................................... or not.

So, no. It's relevant without the viewpoints of a literal, inerrant "Bible Jesus." Anyone who understands Historiography and The Philosophy of History as many historians do would know this. Apparently, you don't. I'd suggest you take some time to learn.
No, it has been stated explicitly by a number of posters in this forum to the approval of many others.
So what? I never said any other Christian has to agree with them on all points, in toto. Remember, I'm neither Left or Right, or even Centrist.
Yeah, that works, if you deny science and reality. Oh, and history, which tells us how trans has been handled in earlier times and different cultures.

We're obviously having a perlocution problem here, you and I. I'm thinking that it's one that even Foucault won't be able to solve for us.

Again, before we get into it too deeply and intensely, maybe think more guardedly about your answers before laying down anymore "just so" statements.

Another day, another thread about transsexuals.
If they kept to themselves, there wouldn’t be many threads about them. They need to stop shoving it in peoples faces.

Yes, or wouldn’t have made the comparison.

You explain the difference.
Esrlier I had to look up the separate- but- equal. And it
is, at its heart, about fairness.
Discrimination based on race is of course unfair.
"...but equal" was a lie, window dressing for what's still
wrong, even if it were true, which it wasn't then and isn't now.
Am I good so far?

If fairness is important here, then having men compete as women is obviously and inherently unfair. There is no (but) equal in it.

If you don't think so, we'll, so be it.

Yeah separate but equal, right?

Where have I heard that before?
The two are not comparable. Trans people made their choice. You can’t choose to be black.

I never said that. Amend this or I will report you for violating the forum rules.

You have also misrepresented what I said here as well - but this could just be because I did not explain it properly.

Teaching children the obviously false gender ideology is what encourages the inappropriate thoughts and behaviors - which invites evil spirits into their minds and hearts - and that is what leads so many transgender people to hurting themselves.

As parents we should protect our children from physical and spiritual threats - so be a peacemaker and don't teach them false ideologies.

I know I feel good about myself when people refer to ME as an infection.
I did not refer to any person - the infection is sin - and false ideologies like "transgenderism" are the more severe symptoms.

Religion is also a choice but somehow I don’t think you’d apply that same standard to segregate the unfaithful.

As a lesbian, I've of course become well aware of
negative issues and attitudes. It's unfair.
Makes life harder and kind of sad.

I'd not reccomend being lesbian to anyone, for me its
been a disaster.

So I am a bit touchy about discrimination.

Pint size female left handed Asian lesbian atheist is not
an ideal formulation for success in, say, America. Because of discrimination.

Maybe you could clarify what ypu mean by " keep to self", and, " shoving in face".


Would you be against me, as a person, for being
PSFLHAA? Approve discrumination?
I will take the liberty of answering for you- of course not.

Would reasonable measures I might take to protest
any unfair treatment based on being "PSFLH..." be distasteful to you and be resented as " shove "?

I'm curious just what you mean by what you said.

For the most part I agree that sports should remain segregated by gender for two main reasons. 1) sports are elective. Nobody needs to play a sport and two, as you point out, there is an obvious physical advantage a man would have over a woman if they were competing in the same sport.

Access to public restrooms are a different though related matter.

It's different but even more difficult.
There may be no solution.

Except they are targeting children - trying to spread their delusion - and it leads to nothing but their own suffering and destruction.

This is no different than war - except most people don't recognize it as such and often support it - so its worse.
That is what you said. Their "delusion" is promoting tolerance and acceptance for LGBT people.

So if they can fool you, it's OK if they go into the Ladies' to wee?
They can't fool me and they should never go in the ladies room. I think you got that backwards.
