  • 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.

In Idaho of all places, a student was banned from participating in graduation for making the statement there are only two genders.

Which there are. It's a scientific fact.

Yet because he said so he was banned.
So kids being suspended for shirts stating biological facts and kids being banned from participating in graduation for stating biological facts. This is INSANE.

The gender ideology has gone too far. It's gone into the realm of punishing anyone who doesn't follow this ridiculous ideology.

There is no such thing as more than two genders. Why anyone would trust a pedophile abuser who made it up is beyond me.
And now we continue to punish young people for speaking truth. He also lost a job opportunity over it. It's reminiscent of what Lia Thomas' teammates were told, which was they would lose job opportunities if they spoke out against Thomas being in their locker room.

He's just wrong.

Intersex people exist.
Transgender people exist.
Genderfluid people exist.

Gender isn't biological sex. Neither are bi-polar, they're both a spectrum. Yes, that spectrum is heavily weighted towards either pole. But, denying that the spectrum exists is just denying reality.

Intersex is a birth defect. The rest is based on a person's subjective state of mind and perception of self, and what they claim to be. The spectrum is how many things a person can come up with about what they think/say they are.

Intersex people, I will agree with; that IS a medical glitch.

As for the Transgender and Genderfluid, these are people who don't fit neatly into gender roles so they're told that something must be wrong with them. Even though not fitting into strict gender roles created by society is COMPLETELY NORMAL. Transgenderism and Genderfluidity is the result of people who define others with labels. It is the result of people being told during a confusing time of life known as puberty that Something Is Wrong With Them.

It's always been interesting to me that trans activists and fundamentalists both have as narrow a view as to what a man and a woman is---they just come to different conclusions.

That's the problem really. Rather than there being any sort of definition, the idea is it's anything and everything. That's chaos. It's what I call a rabbit hole kaleidoscope. Indoctrinating young children into is is just going to confuse them right away. And confused adolescents are just going to become even more confused.

It is a confusing world, so being confused is natural.

So is the desire to not live in a confusing world and thus to create a non-confusing fictional world and then to act like everyone who is not sharing the same fictional work is delusional.

So you're saying it's like religion, which you consider living in a world of fiction?

Most of what you say is true. But even you are confusing things. Gender roles are no different than sex roles. Gender and sex are completely interchangable here. Because they are the same thing. Gender roles is just another way of saying what we as a society think a biological man should be doing it a biological woman should be doing.

Why even gender identity is a reference to biological sex. And in that case gender and sex are completely interchangable. Think about it.

Fundamentalists have a firm grasp of what a man and woman are. It's the activists who are confused. Often when they are referring to gender spectrums all they really are referring to in an individuals personality. Which has nothing to do with sex/gender. When you ask them what woman is they can't say. And they cannot define gender without referring to biological sex while at the same time declairing it's different than biological sex.

The fictional world has been created by the left. Then they work overtime to convince everyone this fictional world is real. Up is really down and2+2=5, boys can be girls and if you refuse to espouse it then we will punish you until you do. This delusional world is real zap, it's real, zap, it's real zap...say it boys can be girls....say it, zap.

Imagine a line. At each end is a pole. One pole is 100% male traits, the other is 100% female traits.

Most people cluster around either end. Some don’t. Let’s be nice to the ones who don’t?

The problem is the concerted effort to put children in a mindset that's somewhere in between the two poles.

The real problem is that for centuries people have always been inculcated into the two poles when in reality many people are in between.

Nature is messy like that. Only humans think in absolutes.
