Biden proclaimed the first instance of "Transgender Visibility Day" to occur onEaster Day.

It’s a lie. A biological male is a man and a biological female is a woman. I do not accept the trans cult.

I guess the next natural law we deny will be gravity.

There are serious consequences for mankind in denying manifest natural law.

 

[Servus]

I don't know if it's a lie, but it's been shown to be less harmful than any alternatives.

I'd have to do some deep research into that. Gender affirming care is so dominant that's all a cursory probe brings up.

Amen!

From what I read it's not considered a mental disorder or a phycological disorder, but rather "a spectrum of feelings".

Biology doesn’t care about your feelings. That’s a fact. They need to accept their bodies they are born with and move on.

It is odd that when the secular posters talk about climate change or evolution, it is all about science.
Then when it involves a biological fact such as DNA, sexual organs, and the fact that no one can "change" their gender with cosmetic surgery any more than Pelosi can change her age with face lifts then science is tossed
On the gender issue, the secularists are science deniers.
A person who "feels" climate change or evolution is not true, that person is wrong yet when person "feels" their "true gender" is different than their biological, scientifically factual gender, all the "scientific secularist nod along.
Interesting.
Now we have scientific fact based on "feel."

 

[Pommer]

There is no shame. Getting treatment for a mental disorder isn’t shameful.

Unless that “treatment” includes gender affirming care?

That itself requires being researched.

Good luck with that.

Gender Affirming Care?
Ok, I was born in a strong, athletic body. I could outdo the opposite sex, anything they could do I could do better.
And when I became an adolescent and had to give up the tomboy mode, I really resented it.
All adolescents are uncomfortable in their bodies.
Who on earth wants to wear a bra? Talk about loss of freedom
If I had been in the current time, the answer to that would be to whack off the offending members.
It was also a time when women were "ladies" with restrictions on behavior and yes, occupation
But my boy friends took me along, included me, and I did everything I could do, as who I really was, a beautiful, strong healthy woman who liked playing and working with the boys.
I enjoy being a girl. I am thankful I didn't get whacked and mutilated as I most likely would now.
I am a beautiful woman who rides ropes and shoots with the best of 'em.
Thank God the whack industry was not in operation then.

Thank you for demonstrating both your lack of understanding of gender disphoria and your lack of empathy with those who do experience it.

so would you say putting on makeup makes the woman?

Are you sure that @QvQ didn't experience it? I doubt everyone affected by it hasn't been able to overcome it. But it seems these days overcoming it is greatly discouraged. I wouldn't be surprised if one attempting to overcome it was labeled as being transphobic.

 

[Nithavela]

Judging by her post, yes, I'm sure. Gender disphoria isn't about disliking bras.

In 2001, a committee convened by the Institute of Medicine (IOM), a nonprofit think tank ... now embedded within the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) ... advised that scientists use these definitions in the following ways:

• In the study of human subjects, the term sex should be used as a classification, generally as male or female, according to the reproductive organs and functions that derive from the chromosomal complement [generally XX for female and XY for male].
• In the study of human subjects, the term gender should be used to refer to a person's self-representation as male or female, or how that person is responded to by social institutions on the basis of the individual's gender presentation.

That “treatment” does not solve anything, it only harms a person.

 

[CRAZY_CAT_WOMAN]

Yes, there are issues with Christmas too. I guess that means we have to listen to atheists now.

Kind of interesting how we got here via the Marriage Equality Act on 26-June-2016. Five members of the Supreme Court decided on the fate of the nation. And now there is this Easter-Trans thing. Sounds like war to me. How long before it is official?

What war? You're allowed to celebrate any religious and non religious holiday. The trans day has been March 31st for years. So this thread isn't true. You're allowed to go to church and marry an adult person. You're allowed to send your kids to Christians school. Churches, vacation , parks , your friends home and your home are the places to celebrate a Christian holiday. Not the white house.

 

[Belk]

That “treatment” does not solve anything, it only harms a person.

Actual doctors and mental health professionals disagree. I'm going to listen to them.

 

[ToddNotTodd]

Wouldn’t it have made more sense to hold transgender visibility day on April 1st instead of March 31st? To me that would be more fitting.

I can definitely see making Easter a fixed day. This floating day based on the cycles of the moon and the seasons seems very pagan. I've actually had Christians argue with me when I tell them how they determine what day Easter is on. They instinctually get angry, because they can't comprehend how deeply Christianity is tied with paganism.

April first would be a fine day for Easter...

Yes but for some if the Government isn't 100% supporting their branch and only their branch, then it's a war on them personally.
Look at what happens when you allow religious clubs in school.
Religion "A" Celebrates
Religion "B" Goes cool, I'll form my own club also
Religion "A" Goes NO! !! Your Religion is against my Religion and you can't do it also no fair !!!
So schools go ok, no religious clubs. and Religion "A" screams that's against me !!!!

 

[essentialsaltes]

And so...since I have a history of construction work, sheepherding, ranch foreman and truck driving, I am self-representing as "male?"

None of those things tell me anything about how you present or represent yourself to the world.

Your talking points are stereotyping.

My talking points are how scientists talk about gender.
