    Jenner sort of opened the door for guys who want to be women but still want to have sex with women. He stated that even though he was transitioning from male to female, he had no intention of bedding down with men.

    In my mind, if a man identifies as a woman and goes to prison with female inmates, that trans should indeed have to succumb to at least a chemical castration program for the entire time they are in prison.

    all this talk we do on here about gays, transgenders and other human species - have you ever wondered if we have stepped on the toes of a member who might be incognito on here? It has crossed my mind several times and I have never asked. Not sure anyone would admit to that considering our views on the subject. For me it is not to ridicule so much or bring judgement, but rather to show outrage for constantly being reminded of how little We have control over anything anymore. First racism, then gays, now a multitude of various genders that along with all this ,has brought more deviant behavior out in the open that We are suppose to welcome and subject ourselves to. News the other day, woman arrested for having sex with a German Shepard, filmed because she was paid by dark web people to do so. In less words - where as a society do We draw the line? It effects every single person on this planet , agree or disagree
    no longer matters.

    I doubt that any of us has an issue with any specific person. The issue is with those who co-opt "leadership" and force a "movement"on the rest of us. For me, very little of this has a darned thing to do with how we respect each other as individuals. That being said, someone on the other side likely has their own opinion of this. Everyone has a right to live as they choose, but no one has the right to demand "acceptance." That includes me.

    Speaking of deviant behavior, it was written by a member (who was asked to leave) that we have to “respect” someone else’s lifestyle.

    If someone lives a certain way and has a proclivity toward going off the biological beaten path and keeps it to themselves, the only thing left to respect or disrespect is that actual character of that person.
    It’s the “looka me” and the “you have to like me” because I’m gay, trans or green colored that I have no respect for in any way.
    If all a person has to offer is what they do with their pee-pee, I doubt that they even respect themselves.

    I have yet to run into anyone like that in real life. Even on the web, all you get are people demanding by proxy, speaking in the theoretical while claiming "I know lots of people who are..." Frankly, I don't believe them. Leftists stand up the tiny fraction of people who are truly broken and use them as a shield to advance the Leftist's own agenda. Sure, some might be vocal, but the media puts a big ol' magnifying glass on them.

    Too bad they don't catch on fire and incinerate. Or at least, smoke a little.

    Freedom depends on tolerating that with which I disagree...but the tolerance must be a two way street.

    For the most part, I couldn't care less whether someone is gay or straight, although I am bigoted enough to disapprove of anyone having sex with their pets or farm animals. I don't approve of homosexuality because any reasonable reading of the Bible makes it clear that God doesn't approve of homosexuality. I could guess, but I don't know precisely why God disapproves of this behavior, but that's a God thing. It's not my business. Nothing in the Bible suggests, to me at least, that I should hate people who think that it's cool to sleep with members of the same sex, but it makes me uncomfortable when someone tries to make it my business. Why should I have to know, let alone approve, of someone else's sexual partners? I'm not comfortable with straight people who discuss their their sexual exploits, either.

    I'd rather not know but if I have to know that sort of thing for some reason, or if I guess, I would still speak kindly to them. If I were in the position to hire someone, their sexual identity wouldn't have a whole lot of impact on any decisions that I made unless I were hiring someone to teach or otherwise hang out with my child, or if they wanted to be paid to stand behind the pulpit of a church that I was a member of. As an EMS director and program chairman for the EMT program of a state college, I hired the only two people I knew of who were gay; not because they were gay, but because they were qualified medics and I knew them to be good people, by my definition, not God's.

    My daughter was not only gay, but she was a co-founder of the organization most responsible for the doing away with of the don't ask, don't tell policies in the US military. She was my daughter by marriage, but I wouldn't have thought any more or less of her, whatever the relationship. I loved her very much, and we had a lot in common. More than a third of the books in her library were also in mine. We had a very good relationship, and this didn't require anyone hiding anything from anyone else. Even though I disapproved of much of what she was doing, when it came to changing the status of gays in the military, I was proud of her for being able to be as effective as she was, and for having the courage to take a stand.

    Well-rounded people are defined by more than who they like to sleep with, and I don't have to approve of everything that someone thinks and does in order to have love for them, enjoy being around them, or respect their accomplishments. I am not disgusted with people who are gay. If I had to watch, that might be another thing, but then, I'd already be disgusted with the idea that I needed to watch.

    As far as someone being transgendered or mutilating their bodies in order to become something other than what they are, I am going to retain the right to think that's weird. I won't shout epithets at them, or go out of my way to insult them in any way, but neither am I going to take them seriously as human beings.

    I am disgusted when people involve children to the extent that we're seeing today, which amounts to nothing less than grooming them for molestation, and/or manipulating them in order to fulfill a sociopolitical agenda that they shouldn't be made to be part of.

    This entire transgender issue has gone beyond the pale, and it's not only weird, but sick as sick can be. I think the doctors who participate in this should have their licenses revoked forever.

    A new bill passed in the state of Washington seeks to undermine parental rights by allowing “shelters” to provide gender transition medical services to minors without parental consent. Senate Bill 5599, sponsored by Sen. Marko Liias, will allow certified shelters to contact the Department of Children, Youth and Families instead of parents, for children seeking reproductive health services or gender-affirming care.

    Sounds like a bad idea to me. Hope it doesn't catch on over here in the UK.
