On another note, when decorating their Valentine’s bags today, I noted that the girls were drawing flowers and hearts in pretty pastel colors, and the boys were drawing robot warriors and such in red and black.
I guess the kids have a natural immunity to the gender neutralization agenda. Right on! 😃

So what would you have done if one of the boys had liked drawing flowers and hearts?
 
Finite;14453877]I’ll be the first to admit I don’t understand transgenderism, but what I’m seeing a lot of is history repeating itself. It wasn’t that long ago that homosexuality was seen as a mental illness (some here still believe that), and it was only deemed not to be because of “the homosexual lobby” and their “agenda”…apparently, it couldn’t possibly be that as our society progresses, we become wiser and gain a better understanding of what it is to be human.

We’re not progressing and we’re not understanding what is to be human. What “we” are doing is burying the truth for immediate gratification and bullying the science and comparing it all to civil rights for Blacks to support whatever happens to be :cool:.

That’s not “progress”, it’s sheer dishonesty wrapped in a bow.
Our human lives our complex, mysterious, mystifying, and curious. Whether you believe it was God that created us or if you believe it’s all just a random quirk of nature, it’s beautiful.

Does that also include causes we don’t agree with?
I do not understand transgenderism. But gender dysphoria is a very real thing that a lot of great minds are still learning about and beginning to understand.

Riiiiight. And the timing couldn’t be better and it’s just a coincidence it’s happening as the culture (mostly young people) think its soooo :cool: and these “leading minds” at universities just happen to want their tuition dollars.
I have a niece who identifies as male. I have not quite come to terms with it because I do not understand it. But I am getting there. When my son came out to me as gay, it was a very similar feeling. But over the years, I’ve watched as he grew up and became a great dad along with his husband who he has spent the last 12 years with. I am a doting father who couldn’t be prouder of the man he has become.

The average gay relationship is less than 1.5 years and not worthy of state investment. And part of the problem is that people are putting their family and friends before God.

When God insisted we put Him first (See the 10 Commandments), He wasn’t kidding.

See, it’s easy to give into what our kids want. It’s easy to just throw up our hands and give blind support.
I do not think the God I believe will condemn my son and his spouse to hell for loving each other and their family. I do not think they are sinning. I do not think they are depraved. I think they are human beings with a variant of sexuality different from mine. God doesn’t make mistakes. Certainly not in what is supposedly around 3% of the population.
Click to expand...
I’d leave what is sin up to God. We don’t get to step on our little soapbox and tell God what sin is.

And no, I’m sorry, God is not there to tell your children they can do whatever they want—or anyone else’s kids, relatives or friends on Facebook.
And my God would not make so many people gay as a “test” or a cross to bear. It’s needlessly cruel.
Click to expand...
No it isn’t. Many people have found such crosses to be blessings. Simply giving in as you suggest isn’t the right answer.
I’m choosing to remain open minded about someone who is trans. I can’t possibly understand what is going on in their minds, but considering most medical professionals recommend these people get therapy, and go on to recommend many of those people move forward in their transition, I’m going to think they make those calls based on knowledge and experience, not politics or religious beliefs. I can’t imagine they make those recommendations lightly.

We can’t shield our children from everything.

So…we should just throw up our hands and let them do whatever they want. Because oh, gee, it’s just so tough.
God knows we’ve all tried (and failed, spectacularly! :p). Personally, I would rather children be taught about the diversity of our world and the people in it, and that we are all still human. To teach a child to respect others isn’t political or against anyone’s religious teachings. At least, I hope not.
Click to expand...
Respect and (dare I say it) charity are more about just giving everyone what they want and putting our stamp of approval on it.

Try to hide behind the nice smiles and laughter all one wants. Been around too long to be fooled by that.
If a parent wants to limit what their child is taught (or rather, delay it, because one way or another your child WILL be exposed to the world), that is their prerogative. I am all for giving parents an opt-out option. Otherwise, private schools and home school is an option.

Most of the world rejects this nonsense. 👍

Not really being a victim as stating something. The “victim” card is more played by places like cake shops that refuse to sell because of someone’s sexual orientation.

They are victims because getting fined for violating their conscience goes against religious freedom.

BTW, if so-called gay “marriage” is such a powerful virtue, why aren’t these places being sued:

The last time homosexuality was considered a mental illness was in DSM-II. It hasn’t been in the DSM since 1973 (43 years), at least not for those gay people who are comfortable with their sexualitiy. There have been other changes to the DSM in the last 43 years besides removing homosexuality. Even though the DSM is in a sense the “bible” of psychiatry, it does change.

The change was political in nature.

👍👍👍

If they’re so worried about all these injustices, where were they 15 years ago when it was all taboo?

I guess it’s just a coincidence progressives go along with the safe, easy opinions of the era.

Just think what would happen if sharia law became :cool: and in.

Actually you’re mistaken. As Rau pointed out (and I agree with him), “The DSM tends to devote space to conditions that cause distress to the individual, impede a person living as he would reasonably wish, or involve risks for others.” After the gay rights movement, being homosexual didn’t distress gay people or impede them living as they wanted, so it made no sense to leave homosexuality in the DSM as a mental illness. Most gay people stopped wanting to be treated for or “cured” of their homosexuality.

There is also the matter of a lack of “treatments” benefitting the individuals. As I understand it, the DSM is a practitioner’s manual, so homosexuality not being covered is kind of understandable.

What I hope the medical profession does not lose sight of is that homosexuality does warrant study to understand how and why it arises. Not just as a scientific curiosity (the “pursuit of knowledge” and all that…), but in recognition that it does detract from the ordinary course of family formation, and for many, I am sure this is a loss.

When it comes to the study of human brain ( and a true gender dysphoria is all about brains and fetus development)) we trust more Dick Swaab and his prominent colleague who devoted their life to the study of human brain than someone on the forum. 😃

That’s a pretty dubious information to say the least. +The average modern heterosexual relationship lasts not much longer.
and not worthy of state investment

Protecting children in same-sex families is worthy of the state investment as well as protecting their well-being both mental and social, Protecting the rights and freedoms of the Universal Declaration Of Human Rights is worthy of state investment.

Thanx to the ones like you, spreading hate, misinformation, anti-scientific lies etc.

Tbh that’s rich coming from the likes of you. Christians persecuted gay people for more than THOUSAND years. And I’m talking about the REAL persecution, not you bakers and florists. When Christians came to power they started burning gay people alive(!!), executing them. throwing them to prisons. The more this ideology was spreading throughout the world the wider the vicious persecution was spreading. It’s a historical fact.

Thankfully, you can’t do these terrible things anymore but you still want to do Evil to these people.It’s clear to me just by looking at your posting history.

As a medical practitioner I say that is an outrageous lie.And let me tell you this : You won’t be able to twist historical facts of how the diagnosis was changed and why however hard you try.

Ironically, opponents of removing homosexuality from DSM lost several times scientific debates having failed to present any facts and proper studies. And after they failed these debates the opponents of removing homosexuality from DSM, found a loophole in APA documents and initiated a “political” voting which they also lost. Hilarious. 😃

Ironically , most if not all opponents of removing homosexuality from DSM were all Christians and worshiped the same God(Father but it doesn’t matter coz it’s Father\Son\Holy Spirit)) who gave a direct order to kill gay people (among many other atrocious crimes against humanity depicted in the Bible like mass murder,genocide, murdering of children, blessing his followers to rip open pregnant women’s bellies because their tribes didn’t want to worship him etc etc etc it’s a really ugly and terrible reading.).

There are a lot of people who are not interested in “family formation”. Some people don’t want children and aren’t suited to having them. 🤷
 
Yeah. I am so sure Dora is really pushing that LGBTQIA+ agenda. Hordes of trans people on Steven Universe. Over 9000 gay people on anime. Sssuuurrreee :rolleyes:
 
About Steven Universe.

“According to Rebecca Sugar, her series’ LGBT representation is not intended to make a point, but to help all children understand themselves and develop their identity. In her view, queer youth deserve to see themselves in stories just as much as other children—and, given pervasive heteronormativity, not allowing them to do so can be harmful. Moreover, Sugar said, LGBT children also deserve to see the prospect of love for themselves in the characters they identify with—the ideal of fulfilling partnership and true love, established as the one thing to aspire to by generations of Disney cartoons, extended to all.[81] In 2016, Sugar said at a panel that the LGBT themes in Steven Universe were also in large part based on her own experience as a bisexual woman.[82]”

This is very cool to read. I don’t see LGBTQIA+ in it because the Gems are non binary. Still very nice to read and see acceptance being shown.
