Yeah didn't catch that you decided to limit the whole diverse trans community to just transvestites. I'll have to be more careful of your tactics.Maybe you don't know what "transvestite" means. Do you think it means all that? Seriously?
My original statement was about transvestites.Yeah didn't catch that you decided to limit the whole diverse trans community to just transvestites. I'll have to be more careful of your tactics.
Then maybe we should be aware that there are lots of difference cases where things aren't so easy to push into your categories.In the case of what I'm talking about the aunt being called "mother" would be eliminated. And she wouldn't qualify for the replacement term of "birthing person".
It's not safe to drive a car, or take a shower, either. But it's a lot safer to be around other Americans now, than it was just a few decades ago:Then it’s not safe to be around either
You still don't get it. The data show that ministers are more likely to be pedophiles than transvestites. It's not something you can dismiss by refusing to believe it.
If so, then becoming a Christian minister is "repudiating Christian moral compass." You sure about that?Once you have made the first wicked lifestyle choice (to be gay or trans or whatever) you have repudiated Christian moral compass and the next wicked lifestyle choice becomes easier and it's a slippery slope leading right to pedophilia.
So you're in favor of "mother" being eliminated and replaced by "birthing person"?I know someone like that. Her biological mother dumped her on relatives right after birth and took off to live whatever life she wanted. "Mother" is her aunt, who took her in and raised her with love and care. Her biological mother is only that.

I'm always talking about the entire trans community as a whole when talking about trans. Why are you narrowing it down to just travesties?My original statement was about transvestites.
"Didn't know transvestites were required to be ideological. Is there an instruction manual or something?"
I did catch that you tried to conflate them with "trans." It's why I didn't allow you that dodge.
Statistics often don’t indicate what people extrapolate from them.It's not safe to drive a car, or take a shower, either. But it's a lot safer to be around other Americans now, than it was just a few decades ago:
No extrapolation here. Just showing you that the violent crime rate is a lot less than it was a few decades ago. Maybe you don't know what "extrapolation" means in statistics. What do you think it means? The conclusion from the data, is that Americans are less violent than they were in the old days. Which means we are safer around other Americans than we were decades ago.Statistics often don’t indicate what people extrapolate from them.
Someone commented on the perceived threat of transvestites to children.I'm always talking about the entire trans community as a whole when talking about trans. Why are you narrowing it down to just travesties?
Maybe you should put out a bulletin or something for the rest of us.BTW "transvestite" is an outdated term that was replaced with "cross-dresser". I'd say if one is going to defend the trans community, one should be more in step with their preferred vernacular.
Drag queens are part of the trans community as whole which has an ideology they want to teach to children, which they've openly declared is their agenda.Someone commented on the perceived threat of transvestites to children.
I'd rather that folks be familiar with the trans community and their ideology if they're going to defend it.Maybe you should put out a bulletin or something for the rest of us.
I wasn’t talking about crime statistics, although they are not reliable because reporting is voluntary and some departments under report or don’t report at all.It's not safe to drive a car, or take a shower, either.

BTW...

The U.S. is on course to end 2023 with one of the largest annual drops in homicides on record, according to preliminary figures from AH Datalytics, a data analysis firm.
Incidentally, since you brought it up...
The past three years have marked an abrupt drop in global shark attacks from previous totals in the high 80s. 2017’s 88 unprovoked bites, for example, were average at the time. Still, 2020’s total of 57 bites worldwide represents a larger-than-expected decrease from 2019 and 2018, Naylor said.
Shark attack numbers remained ‘extremely low’ in 2020, but fatalities spiked
Shark attacks decreased for the third consecutive year, falling to 57 unprovoked bites worldwide in 2020, compared with 64 bites in 2019 and 66 in 2018, according to the annual summary issued by the University of Florida’s International Shark Attack File. The most recent five-year global average sanwww.floridamuseum.ufl.edu
Unfortunately, we have no data on the number of attacking sharks who were also illegal immigrants, so we don't know if illegal immigrant sharks are as law-abiding as illegal immigrant humans.
My wife will tell you I'm not really a go-to for fashion information. Doubly so for fashion in the religion industry.I was being a wise guy. The "zone" is a belt used in EO vestments.
Always true. You're confusing precision an accuracy. Since we're measuring apples to apples, you get the same result. On the other hand, if you're claiming that something has affected reporting over those years, you'd have to come up with a checkable and specific claim. What do you have?I wasn’t talking about crime statistics, although they are not reliable because reporting is voluntary and some departments under report or don’t report at all.
So you've equated transvestites with drag queens? I think we've found the problem.Drag queens are part of the trans community as whole which has an ideology they want to teach to children, which they've openly declared is their agenda.
Yes. I don’t know why you reject the reality that the reporting does not reflect 100% of the crime. Just accept it.Always true. You're confusing precision an accuracy.

Wouldn't it just be better to accept the reality?
Drag Queens don’t qualify as transvestites?So you've equated transvestites with drag queens? I think we've found the problem.
And I don't think "we would like to be not abused by other people, and accepted as human" is an ideology, although it might be an agenda in places where people do abuse them.
They all have one thing in common--the most important and dangerous thing about them. They reject Christian gender conformity and would like to persuade our kids to at least not take it so seriously..So you've equated transvestites with drag queens? I think we've found the problem.

It might ease your anxieties to read up on the differences. Or, possibly aggravate them. Whatever.
Maybe learning to accept that others have different beliefs wouldn't be such a terrible thing for them.They all have one thing in common--the most important and dangerous thing about them. They reject Christian gender conformity and would like to persuade our kids to at least not take it so seriously..
If you like; I don't think anyone would care.View attachment 342972
This person identifies as being fat. Should we who do not have body dysphoria identify as cis bodied?
