I don't spend time fantasizing about made-up places fools conjured up from their own nightmares or sadistic day dreams.Big talk, but that's bs. After 5 minutes in Hell you would be screaming for your mother.
If there is a hell it might well be you screaming for your mother. If god, should it exist and takes exception to you dragging the faith through the sewer as you do.Big talk, but that's bs. After 5 minutes in Hell you would be screaming for your mother.
Says the dedicated Christ-denier. You serve up lies and lead people down the path to destruction and the Lake of Fire.
Good thing it's a place that only exists in your mind. In other words, its bs.Big talk, but that's bs. After 5 minutes in Hell you would be screaming for your mother.
Every decent person whether they are a believer or not is a better Christian than he is.You still need to work on your humanity. Your views on your fellow human beings are vile and demeaning. Jesus didn't treat people like that. Apparently I'm a better Christian than you are.
What a ridiculous argument.The world can thrive even better without your LGBT decadence. In fact, two men can't even make a baby, or two lesbian women, without having to resort to special methods. Left to themselves, the LGBT crowd would die out in one generation. And they'll certainly have a rough go of it in the Lake of Fire (Revelation 21:8, etc.).
What a ridiculous argument.
If everyone on earth was a woman, the human race would die out. Left to themselves, the human race would die out in one generation.
If everyone on earth was a man, the human race would die out. Left to themselves, the human race would die out in one generartion.
That's how silly your point is.
Flush. I don't buy into your anti-God nonsense.If there is a hell it might well be you screaming for your mother. If god, should it exist and takes exception to you dragging the faith through the sewer as you do.
As I have said a number of times, the way you display your take on faith is extremely unpleasant and off putting to anyone who might be interested in Christianity.Flush. I don't buy into your anti-God nonsense.
Uh yeah. That's what I said.Two men can't make a baby. DUH.

Transsexualism is a disorder of sex development that occurs in the womb. There's neurological and genetic studies demonstrating that transsexuals are more alike the sex they identify as and not the sex assigned at birth. I have a male digit ratio, which means that I was exposed to a high amount of androgens in the womb. I respond well to testosterone, as well. Why does this happen? We don't know, but it's a biological reality. It's similar to an intersex condition. Nothing to do with "feelings". You would know this is you bothered to educate yourself before running your mouth (or fingers, as it were).
Transsexualism is a medical disorder, hence why it's treated with medical means - hormones and surgery. It's not a psychiatric disorder, though.Transexualism used to rightly be called a disorder but now it has been watered down to a dysphoria. The Neurological and genetics stuff is being rewritten as we speak and all the biological stuff is being disguarded. The newer neurological studies are being used to show that there is little to no fundamental difference between the male and female brain. Very soon the official landscape will change and your claim of attraction to "male and female" will be explained away as you being deluded into this thinking by the hetoropatriarchy. Very few of the identifications below are tied to any biology. It is ALL about FEELINGS! I think it is you who needs to be educated as to where the ideology that you expouse leads too.
Heterosexual- The attraction to a gender different from their own (commonly used to describe someone who is gender binary [female or male] attracted to the other binary gender).

Above is the sexual landscape that has evolved from the attack on human sexuality led by the lgttqifu activists. What are the biological standards that any of these people claim as justification for the "disorder"?
Just take this an an example..... Homosexual- The attraction to a gender the same as their own (commonly used to describe someone who is gender binary [female or male] attracted to the same binary gender).If there are an unlimited number of genders then isn't this definition now obsolete. Would you not be guilty of misgendering a person if you just judge their outward appearance. Will we all need to wear labels to show what gender we are at any particular time?
I get that you personally have had a complicated time of it. But the idea that .002% of the population with a disorder should have a bearing on the way human society functions is absolutely ridiculous. The abandonment of the male female paradigm as the basis for human interactions is wrong. Fundamentally wrong. Intrinsically wrong.
You know what... i wrote a whole post and deleted it. I really don't want to upset or demean or hurt or judge you on such a personal thing. i can only try to imagine what i would be in your place and the concept is frightening enough without the reality.Transsexualism is a medical disorder, hence why it's treated with medical means - hormones and surgery. It's not a psychiatric disorder, though.
You'll have to provide some evidence for your radical claim that there's no sex differences between male and female brains. Usually only radical feminists make those claims, as they tend to believe in disproven blank slate nonsense.

I'm not interested in the rest of that. There's loons and nonsense in all communities. Not sure why you think it has something to do with me or something I agree with. Stop lumping me in with that.
Well, thank you for your consideration but it's really not like how you imagine it is. I'm a lot more content with myself now. It's not easy but it's not something I spend all my time thinking about.You know what... i wrote a whole post and deleted it. I really don't want to upset or demean or hurt or judge you on such a personal thing. i can only try to imagine what i would be in your place and the concept is frightening enough without the reality.
That being said, i think that it is psychological, possibly triggered by biology, and that treatment by surgery and hormones is surrendering to the enemy instead of fighting him. If that works on a personal level then more power to you but it is crappy advice for others.
So, why do people like you feel the need and entitlement to make it worse?I get that you personally have had a complicated time of it.
What's ludicrous is your assertion that "the way society functions" is in danger. It's not!But the idea that .002% of the population with a disorder should have a bearing on the way human society functions is absolutely ridiculous.
That isn't the basis for human interactions in the modern secular world. Personhood is the basis. To qualify as a decent person all you have to do is treat everyone with respect and charity. Everyone, even queer people.The abandonment of the male female paradigm as the basis for human interactions is wrong.
What's fundamentally, intrinsically, wrong is this. Treating people badly. Lacking basic respect for their personhood. Bigotry. I don't care what irrational reasons you use to justify that. You could appeal to religion or Nazism or Communism or Darwinism..... I don't care why you're behaving badly. You are behaving badly.Fundamentally wrong. Intrinsically wrong.
So, why do people like you feel the need and entitlement to make it worse?So, why do people like you feel the need and entitlement to make it worse?
Why do you even care about this?
Why can't you just mind your own business, and treat the people around you with respect and charity even if they're odd?
What's ludicrous is your assertion that "the way society functions" is in danger. It's not!
The huge majority of people are cis-het, the majority of the rest are cis, and the tiny number of people who are something else don't constitute a danger to anything important.
That whole long post of yours is clinical terminology concerning a tiny number of people. Nobody has to wear a darn label, because nobody has an interest in your orientation/gender/sexual issues.
Frankly, as a group, I find queer people generally annoying. But less so than the overtly religionists. And there's a lot more religionists to annoy me, and they are more likely to actually do harm to me.

You need to fix yourself before you go trying to fix the rest of us.
