No need for sorry. As I’m just learning I lean more left. To be honest I think it’s a great thing there are conservatives and liberals. I don’t think to be a good Catholic I must wholeheartedly agree on the conservative stances on each issue. I don’t think they’re necessarily right. I think climate change if left on unaddressed will be a serious issue for next generation, I cannot understand how people deny this. What does that have to do with Catholicism anyways? I am leaning towards supporting gun control. I don’t support the death penality or capital punishment. I’m not sure my stance on immigration. I think I see race relations in more a liberal or democratic. On previous threads, I know some people don’t agree white make privilege exists. I’ve been told I’m brainwashed. I don’t necessarily agree with how conservatives view race relations. It is weird it seems like people either I’m brainwashed by the liberal media and publication and I think they’re ignorant. Each party believes they’re right.

And how some people treat homosexuality turns me off. Some people can like gay people are lepers or the epitome of evil.

What restrooms do you suggest transgendered people use?

I say if they look mostly like a woman, use a woman’s bathroom. It would be weirder if they still had to use a man’s bathroom.

That’s a difficult one considering 2016 choices of presidential candidates. Maybe 2020 presidential candidates will make the voting options easier

Don’t hold your breath. You may turn into a smurf.
 
I think it just easier to have unisex bathrooms (the one person goes in ones)
 
How’d this turn into the Politics and Transgender Bathrooms Thread No. 1,324,511?

I’m always fascinated how people can be so interested in endlessly discussing this stuff
 
Some transgendered women look more feminine than average women. It’s not easy to tell
 
Conservatives tend to believe there’s a line between what is real/imaginary, true/untrue, absolute/relative. Non-conservatives tend to believe such a distinction does not exist and elevate the emotional aspect over rational thought.

ie: Bleeding-heart liberal socialist policies that sound nice but don’t actually work.

For some people, arguing in their highest priority.

Just arguing.

No interest in improving things or helping out … or even in clarifying some issue … they just want to argue … even if arguing just takes up other peoples’ time and energy.

Decades ago one of these people reported me to the I.G. After an investigation, the I.G. ordered the accuser fired … gone the next day on the first plane out.

I’m not so sure of that–conservatives can and do think in nuance.
But I will say, from my own observations, that folks on either extreme of the left/right continuum tend to think in more black-and-white.

That could even apply to the Church: those who want a pastoral approach towards messy life situations versus those who want doctrine to be upheld.
 
A more suitable analogy would be a Muslim reading about someone eating bacon. Reading about someone eating bacon is not the same as eating bacon 🥓.

Same thing about reading about someone doing magic versus doing magic.
 
Just about everything has its extreme wings. And it’s cultural, too.
What I consider ”somewhere to the right of Attilla the Hun” might be middle-of-the-road in the US.

I had a law school professor who noted that the ideological spectrum of our school was so broad that it ran from “those who think public housing works to three standard deviations to the right of Atilla the Hun”–and by the latter he meant himself 🤣

Yeah, and if you tell the average person - a stigma develops right away. People here at least can admit to it without any shame.
