  • 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 was describing my experience. Perhaps yours was different.
You said society didn't embrace cross dressing. But it has. Cross dressing has been accepted for thousands of years as a form of entertainment, going back to the earliest days of theatre.

-- A2SG, what you, personally, accept is, of course, your own business, but you are not society....

It wasn't exactly "embraced" considering that it was considered so ridiculous that simply seeing a male character in drag was considered high comedy. The joke was that it was patently absurd.

You quoted my post referring to young, non sexual kids being exposed to sexual gender dysphoria. The question really should be, why should they be exposed?
Because they need to learn that there's nothing to fear. It's okay to be different.

To losing their souls or finding salvation?
Gay children or white supremists.
Seems you're presenting a false disjunctive. Why should we have to choose?

It's okay to be honest with school kids. There is no excuse for these kids to bully those they don't understand.
You can teach kids that without introducing them to lgbt issues. Its not like we don't have any other differences to point out. This isn't about teaching kids to be nice. Its about indoctrinating kids with lgbt is great and its okay to indulge in it.

Still, it exists and is legal so there is really no reason to hide it from kids.
Not indoctrinating kids is not the same thing as hiding it. There is no reason to discuss it with them. Why is it necessary? The educational system is not just acknowledging its existence, ir is also making a moral statement that it is good and normal.

With trans issues that is dangerous for kids.

In the context of the material in the OP, it includes resources for teachers who happen to be trans and how best to go about '"coming out" at work and "tips" for "transitioning at work."' For all the scare tactics, the training materials appear to be about how teachers should deal with issues professionally, not about curriculum to be taught to students.

But yes, if a kid's teacher is trans, they will face this issue.
You are too late. I already pointed out all the problems. It goes far beyond what you just posted.

The tenets of Christianity are de facto moral and ethical tenets for me but I don’t push them on anyone. I would expect the LGBTQ tenets to not be pushed on me.
Who is forcing you to be LGBTQ?

So if they experience it they will know what it is and be able to talk about it and be supported.

When was silence a good thing for anything important?

I sometimes note how on the one hand some people describe not being ‘worldly’ as a positive trait but then feel justified to opine on ‘worldly’ subjects.

What’s wrong with that? If a kid’s gay they need to know that they are not monsters.

is also making a moral statement that it is good and normal.
And the only reason the vast majority don’t is because of religion and in a secular society religion does not get to make the rules.

That’s why some religious folks reject society like the Amish instead of trying to force society to abide by religions rules.

In Matthew 18 he spoke about how terrible it was to cause children to sin.
I’m sorry are you saying that when a child is diddled it is the child that has sinned?
