  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Good. There are some who do believe these feelings are invalid and should be ignored, mostly due to their own personal agenda.


Cool.


Whether or not any ideology is "extreme" is in the eye of the beholder.


Or maybe they will grow up and know that their gender is not the same as their sex. It does happen.


It also doesn't automatically mean they do not. These things are far too complicated for other people to make decisions about.

-- A2SG, especially when these "other people" don't understand the feelings at all.....
Yes. Let them grow and mature. I have no further comment, and wish them all well. That is all.

Ehhhh...I'm on the fence on this one. Some parents might not like it, some teachers might not like it, some conservative districts might not like it. Some professionals may or may not agree or disagree.

When it comes to minors, I think they should be left alone and leave it to biology.

THEN AGAIN, I think that should be left up to mental health professionals and doctors.
I think the point is that pronoun use has nothing to do with biology.

-- A2SG, no one checks genitalia before using a pronoun....I hope....

Pronouns don't shift biology.

No (legal) medical transition is started without the input of a doctor.

This isn't about genitalia.

Generally, men and women (boys and girls) look very much different. One can often notice by looking at the face through facial structure. Men have more masculine, muscular features, while women have softer features. Men have more prominent Adam's apples, women do not. Not to mention hands, voice, shoulders.

Sometimes, NOT ALWAYS, it's a dead giveaway.

100% of people have mental health issues.
Nope. Show me a person who desires to mutilate themselves by removing healthy and perfectly functional body parts and I will show you someone with mental health issues. After all, are not the left that keep telling us that gender is in the mind and sex is between the legs?

Yes, by mental health issues do you mean mental illness?

In that case, I agree.

Sex and gender are interchangeable, imo.

Well, you thought wrong. Again, transgender equals mental health issues, not biology. Hence you have proven my point that people are not born trans, they are recruited and groomed.

Yes. Mental illness. But "gender" is a made up term to obfuscate reality.

Or, if I might add, it's related to a delusional disorder. Just IMO.

Yes. Mental illness.
Yes! Spot on! It should be treated as such with therapy and medication. Also, it should be a private manner. Not something celebrated.

The only therapy and medication that have been shown to aleviate the suffering of those who have gender disphoria are gender-affirming treatments.

Any treatment and medication that focuses on trying to make the people suffering from gender disphoria adhere to their birth gender is extremely harmful and ineffective.

And yet, gender affirming care, as it is so-called, hasn't been helpful either. That's a rather moot point.

Telling people they can be something they aren't only harms them.

This isn't about genitalia.
When you say "leave it to biology," what else are you talking about? The only way we have to definitively determine someone else's sex is from their genitalia...unless you're able to take a blood test.

And what has that to do with what pronouns someone prefers to use?

-- A2SG, dude, dude, dude looks like a lady....

If you want my honest opinion, the whole LGBT movement is modern day version of Ashera worship. At least, the demon behind the worship of Ashera. Look up the connection behind how ancient pagan societies worshipped Ashera and LGBT ideology. It will shock you.

I'm simply stating someone can know what someone's gender/sex is by simply looking at them. Nothing more, nothing less.

Gee, is that the only indicator of a mental health issue? Wow, I know a few psychologists who are treating a lot of people incorrectly. Also, I probably should tell my friend who wants a nose job she needs to see a psychiatrist instead.

After all, are not the left that keep telling us that gender is in the mind and sex is between the legs?
Sex is other places, too.

But yeah, sex is biology, gender is identity.

-- A2SG, seems simple enough, but a lot of people don't get it....

Here is one source. Can you take a guess as to when Ashera worshippers gathered to celebrate with their mass orgys and gender fluidity? June!
