  • 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.

I don't know that the transitioning had much to do with it.

I think they're mutually exclusive issues.

While I do think that the "fast-tracking" of transitioning is a problem (and have been very vocal about my concerns surrounding it), I think the ex-lawmaker's crimes represent a separate psychological issue.

I think the assault on the child was the REAL sadness here.

I guess some people have differing priorities.

The media is starting to get pressure to stop covering up violence by transgenders.

Yeah. I'm SURE Republicans and the angry, angry Christians wouldn't have put every single instance of violence from transgender people into the national spotlight.

Again.
They're just not that violent.

Sorry.

I mean, for me the sad part is that a child was sexually abused… But sure, let’s pretend the bullet point one should come away with is about transgender people.
