My daughter is LGBT, specifically L. She is married therefore my daughter in law is L as well. Her son dates a transgender person. My daughter also dated a transgender person years ago before moving, getting married, etc.
I am VERY hostile towards them making decisions for children and people before they have gone through puberty, and before their brain has finished developing.
It is permanent. If they go to actual surgeries it is actually sterilizing.
Adults... do what you want. Children... them's fighting words.
I have no problems with LGBTQ in adults if it is voluntary. I do have problews with them thinking they have the right to force me to use pronouns or other compelled speech. As far as I am concerned I don't have the right to FORCE them and they don't have that right for ME.
Do I think ALL transgender people are lunatics? Nah. Let me clarify for you. I don't. I don't even think the majority are.
I do think the people pushing this on children are lunatics though.
I don't think they are the only TYPES of lunatic out there. We seem to prescribe pills and keep the lunatics that likely could benefit from counselling and treatment on the streets these days.
So if you are a transgender woman and think you can menstruate... you've got problems.
If you are a transgender woman with no ovaries and uterus and you think you can get pregnant... you've got problems.
If you are a child who has had surgical sex changes and perhaps even the chemicals then you have problems... likely not actually of your own making.
I have been a turn the other cheek type of person for a very long time. I've been a NAP person for a long time.
The problem is I can stand there being that way while all around me society is eroded, more and more laws are created to FORCE compliance...
By the time a gun, or fist actually heads my way the piece of land I was standing on is long gone and so am I and my loved ones. There are more types of attacks than the overt ones.
I realized awhile ago (but not soon enough) that NAP could put blinders on me if I was only responding to the overt and obvious attacks coming directly and physically at me.
They don't have to physically attack me or my loved ones to destroy me.
Anyway... you quoted enough of my own articles so you likely knew all of this already.
Children's minds change as their body changes and develops. They truly are in no position to make a decision that is permanent like this at early ages.
I do consider the people forcing such decisions upon them as criminals.
I will say my daughter's despise the LGBTQ movement even though they are L. They used to be proud and attend rallies, fly the rainbow flags, etc.
No more. That was their own decision.
They are L but despise the same things I am talking about and they have witnessed a lot of it firsthand in the LGBTQ Community.
Why? The ones I am saying are lunatics are VERY vocal and no one dare challenge them.
