CDZ "I’m The Scary Transgender Person The Media Warned You About"

[Witchit]

Really good video. I don't know what religion they are, beyond "Christian" (dad is wearing a collar) but they just seem very cool, smart, insightful and accepting.

And here we have Joseph Sciambra is author of Swallowed by Satan: How Our Lord Jesus Christ Saved Me from Pornography, Homosexuality, and the Occult.

For a long time, I tried to convince myself that I was born “gay.” That God made a mistake or just made me this way. But it never made sense. As much as I wanted my body to be receptive like that of a woman, it just never was. My body was designed in a certain way for a certain function. Modern man, through science, can change the appearance, but it doesn’t transform the fundamental structure. I was born male. And nothing I could do or imagine would change that. The way God made me was good. When I was touched by evil, that which God made as good became the cause of my unrest.

It’s easier to believe that someone is simply born “gay,” or somehow assigned the wrong gender at birth, but there is more to this story. In the Netherlands, a country with a long history of LGBT acceptance and tolerance, the levels of mental illness in “gay” men remain higher than among heterosexuals. In Sweden, even those in a same-sex marriage still experience higher rates of suicide than those in an opposite-sex marriage. And 46% of trans women attempt suicide. The rates of those who have not revealed their transgender identity remain largely unchanged. Adults and children with same-sex attraction and gender dysphoria need love, but they also need the truth. And they need our guidance.

You and your family will be in my prayers,

Well, he's already got a pretty tenuous grasp on reality (see book title,) so I'm not going to lend him much credence. Just sharing the perception of a lot of people who don't see this girl's reality, just what they filtered through their own life lens.

Has anybody else (besides me) changed what they believe about the sexuality spectrum and everybody on it? Because there are a whole lot of people who don't have their needle buried in either 'straight' or 'gay.'

You are certainly free to think that it is not creepy, but a lot of others do find it to be creepy. Yes, it is completely normal for humans to judge other humans that they let into their "circle" based on their own experiences. We like to be around people we have things in common with.

I don't really care. What they do with themselves is up to them (although I would say mangling your sex organs and making yourself basically sterile and unable to have a family in the future if you change your mind a HUGE mistake).

Otherwise, I don't want to be any part of it. If it was someone I knew, I would be polite but would avoid that person if at all possible. If you look like a man, I am certainly not going to call you a "she" for any other reason than I like you and respect you. I don't for a New York minute think a man is actually a woman and vice versa though. That is just a denial of reality and basic biology and science.

 

[Esmeralda]

Our society assumes there is only one way to be male and one way to be female. In reality it isn't that specific; most of the attitude is cultural rather than natural. I think kids should not be encouraged to make any definite assumptions about their gender orientation until they are adults (18 minimum). We need to evolve culturally. We are stuck in social attitudes that have been with us since the beginning of human civilization and are as primitive as early civilization.

 

[ChrisL]

Creepy doesn't have to mean scary either. Creepy is anything that creeps you out, gives you the willies, etc. Kind of like vomit. While you aren't really afraid of it, you don't want it anywhere near you.

I think it's pretty sad that any child would be going through such a thing, but that doesn't mean I agree with the "solutions" which seem to me to be avoiding the real underlying issue, whatever it might be. I think the so called solutions are doing nothing but harming the person in the long run and making them feel even more of a social outcast.

 

[ChrisL]

The fact that these people are so obsessed with their sexuality to begin with is a huge red flag that something isn't right here. I think they are struggling to find out who they are and they are very confused and lost people. I also think there is probably something that causes this. There are other similar delusions that exist. Unfortunately, it seems as if the psychiatric and medical community have completely given up on trying to help these people feel comfortable in their own skins and in who and what they are as PEOPLE and instead have chosen to feed a delusion. That is the saddest thing of all.

 

[SeaGal]

Has anybody else (besides me) changed what they believe about the sexuality spectrum and everybody on it? Because there are a whole lot of people who don't have their needle buried in either 'straight' or 'gay.'

Changing one's beliefs about the sexuality spectrum does not change the science of gender and nature. There is nothing natural about our species attempting to change one's sex - it requires outside interference. Surgery, hormone therapy - and at best the changes are cosmetic...a state of mind.

Transgender should not be confused with gay or straight. Jenner says he still prefers the ladies, as does a teenager transitioning from male to female as 'documented' on TLC.

When humans can spontaneously change gender for the purpose of reproduction, as some in the animal kingdom can - then I will change my view of the 'sexuality spectrum' of humans.

She’s fine. It was sad when she was going through crippling anxiety and depression. I know what it is to fear for my child’s life.

I would like to hear more from her dad, how this ended up making sense in his mind, as a man of God.

A video cannot change the science of gender. Nor am I aware of the media portraying transgender as scary. Can you support that claim?

What I find bizarre is the ease at which people accept what they see or read on social media as factual...especially if it tugs at the heart strings. Social media is a virtual world, and can reflect virtually anything.

There is a whole lot of ground between accepting that some folks are uncomfortable with their natural gender, and legally punishing them for wanting to change. As there is also a whole lot of ground between the former and legally requiring accommodation from others.

It doesn’t matter if you find it creepy. So do I but so what? It’s their life.

And I don’t believe you wouldn’t hang out with someone like this. Maybe that’s true and maybe it’s not depending on who this person was to you. If it was your brother or father you may change your mind. Or your best friend.

What she means is we're stuck with being human.

Being human is an absolute. You either are or aren't. One's grasp of reality is an altogether other matter.

The thread title is extremely dishonest. The corporate media is deeply in love with transgender activists. The corporate media pushes transgender ideology: Some boys are really girls and will kill themselves unless allowed to wear pretty pink dresses. These "girls" are happy and well-adjusted and will never regret having their genitals cut off.

Normal people who think for themselves understand that small boys are being manipulated by transgender fanatics. Most of these boys will regret getting sucked into the movement.

Transgender should not be confused with gay or straight. Jenner says he still prefers the ladies, as does a teenager transitioning from male to female as 'documented' on TLC

When I close my eyes and just be me in my head, I’m not usually thinking about what reproductive parts my body has. I like what I like. I don’t like what I don’t like. In today’s society, there are very few roles that aren’t interchangeable between males and females. If I eliminate sexual preference from the equation, being male or female has little to do with who I am. It just doesn’t make sense to have anxiety about being male or female....I accept myself for who I am. My reproductive parts do not determine my happiness or the person I am on the inside.
