I never saw a single one. The kids should be more respectful to their teachers, though. Something being legal doesn't make it proper.
Since you haven't seen a serial killer and since it doesn't happen much, serial killers are no big deal.

Correct. Children should show respect to their teachers. As Christians, we are called to be respectful.
Adults are expected to not demand that children indulge their fantasy life. Christ never called us to do so. There was a time when I would have never expected to have an argument like this with a Catholic. Someone worldly yes, a Catholic no.

It's not fantasy. They have changed their sex parts over to fit who they are mentally and emotionally.
Christ never called us to do so.
Christ never called us to disrespect others. Her called us to love each other equally.

The Catholic Church teaches Catholics to love and respect all people equally. LGBTQ doesn't change that.

To make the actual point.
Thanks for proving my point
The point is something doesn't have to be commonplace to be a serious problem.
That is correct. Stats show that LGBTQ make up about 8% of teachers and 20% of students.

But, 80% of them report being bullied in school. That is a far more serious problem than a teacher wanting to be called Ms. rather than Mr.

Yes, but not endorse their sin.

It still doesn’t change their DNA. They are their biological sex, regardless. It’s more of playing dress up, really. It’s all cosmetic.

Loving someone means not condoning their sin. It’s one of the spiritual acts of mercy is to admonish sinners.

Their DNA can be a mix.

Not really. As the article explains, a girl can have the Y chromosome. How do we help these people with a mutation love normal lives? It's not their fault they were born this way.

Loving someone is realizing that we all have sin that only Jesus can help us with. Understanding that we all fail can help us help others with compassion.

Love requires we recognize boundaries and be unafraid of speaking the truth even when it is hurtful. The transgender issue isn't just an attack on a social construct, but on the very concept of truth itself. It is an overindulgence of "subjective truth" and the idea that we are the primary creators of our reality. It is not just a matter of a difference of opinion on sexual morality but a matter crucial to the integrity of an objective sense of reality. Indulging it isn't respectful, it's infantalization.

Yes, those are birth defects as I’m aware. But I absolutely agree everyone deserves compassion.
