Gender dysphoria is not a synonym for being transgender
There are many trans people who never experienced gender dysphoria
Except that I'm right, and you are wrongBlah blah blah blah
You lose
Is this where I'm supposed to start posting articles of pastors raping kids?NOPE... there is a stark difference between those two also. This isn't the pre-enlightenent years Your attempts to lump American christianity in with something else has failed.
Ask the trans SUPPORTERS of this person.

What we know about the Nashville Christian school shooting that left 6 dead
Here's some of what we know and don't know about the deadly shooting at The Covenant School in Nashville.www.pbs.org
I racked up more time in church, bible camps, and youth functions than 98% of Americans that have ever or will ever exist and I never believed that. Talked to many other that didn't believe that. When to a baptist church for years that never preached that. For the people that actually believe that? Its not like it's harmed anyone.
Not sure what to say about that. Pretty sure it was just a misinterpretation passed down. For the people that actually believe that? Its not like it's harmed anyone.
Not sure. All I know is that Islam is basically a hijacked bogus off shoot of an Abrahamic religion. Ya might have to go to the middle east and ask them. See how well that goes for you. The result would quickly remind you how much muslims and christians are not on the same realm of ideology.
Here's the difference........ NOT ONE Christian is gonna go online via facebook/twitter etc etc and cheer it on or defend a pastor.Is this where I'm supposed to start posting articles of pastors raping kids?
If it was JUST wearing dresses... who cares?? But this isn't pre-1980s anymore. These weirdos want to get into women's restrooms, invade women's sports, and make the US military an experiment/liability.I addressed this broadly above, but again - we're not offering trans folks the same benefit of the doubt that you are extending to religious people when you begin justifying the fables and I don't want to back you into a corner defending them.
Certainly, however, you would agree that a trans person who says - "No, I was definitely born a man, no delusion whatsoever. I just love wearing dresses and presenting as a girl and it makes me happy so I choose to live my life this way" is likewise not mentally ill by default, right?

Oh and this shit has been cracked down on. When's the last time you heard of such incident??
And when it comes to sports, I think they are wrong just like the retards trying to push the ten commandments in school. I think organizations (e.g. NCAA) should be able to separate by bio sex, otherwise why have male/female divisions at all?If it was JUST wearing dresses... who cares?? But this isn't pre-1980s anymore. These weirdos want to get into women's restrooms, invade women's sports, and make the US military an experiment/liability.
I have an argument against the bathrooms I would like you to consider. reporting on rape by transgender people is problematic. it is unlikely that the fact that a person is trans will go into official reports and there is also not a standardized way to do that so studies on the dangers of trans people in restrooms need way more work and investigating. people who have looked deeper have found trans stuff that went unreported. Kathleen Stock speaks about this reporting problem that occurs too. but I don't have that data and don't expect you to believe it and my argument doesn't really rest upon this anyway.3 days ago?

When it comes to bathrooms, my understanding is there is no evidence that transwomen in women's bathrooms leads to more rapes but there is evidence transwomen in men's restrooms does. Therefore, in my mind, if we are trying to reduce rapes, you have people go where they present.
US Military idk but cosmetic rules should be the same for a girl getting fake tits or whatever imo. Like, I think I could be convinced that we shouldn't spend military dollars on elective surgery period.
But regardless, it doesn't make sense imo to villainize the whole community over these issues.

Pastor arrested in US for alleged abuse banned from working with children
Former Adelaide megachurch pastor Daniel Menelaou, who was last week charged in the US with possession of child sexual abuse material, has been banned from working with children in SA.www.abc.net.au
Teaching/reminding people thou shalt not steal etc etc... VS. women getting injured by dorks that want to invade their sports. Yeah.... there are levels to this. Get that false equivalency out of here.And when it comes to sports, I think they are wrong just like the retards trying to push the ten commandments in school.
They do have male/female divisions. But some kind of hiccup happened along the way that is getting fixed as we speak.I think organizations (e.g. NCAA) should be able to separate by bio sex, otherwise why have male/female divisions at all?
No excuses, keyboard dancing and no giving those fakers an inch. Just stop the nonsense. Or talk to real men that have a daughter or two face to face about what they think. See how they look at you when you try to disagree.When it comes to bathrooms, my understanding is there is no evidence that transwomen in women's bathrooms leads to more rapes but there is evidence transwomen in men's restrooms does. Therefore, in my mind, if we are trying to reduce rapes, you have people go where they present.
The amount of elective fake tit surgeries I have heard of from the years I was in (1998-2019) was like ONE. The amount of money spent on drugs and other crap for confused dudes in the past couple years has been crazy. No comparison.US Military idk but cosmetic rules should be the same for a girl getting fake tits or whatever imo. Like, I think I could be convinced that we shouldn't spend military dollars on elective surgery period.
OH... they villainize themselves proudly as much as they can on a daily basis. Look at all the praise those killers/tranny cult got online before/after they got caught.But regardless, it doesn't make sense imo to villainize the whole community over these issues.
I'm friends with a Thai ladyboy and this is no surprise. They're so far ahead of the curve on trans issues it's not funny. There's a reason most Thai ladyboy don't get bottom surgery.
They are just very feminine gay men, so feminine they'd rather live as a girl.
I have an argument against the bathrooms I would like you to consider. reporting on rape by transgender people is problematic. it is unlikely that the fact that a person is trans will go into official reports and there is also not a standardized way to do that so studies on the dangers of trans people in restrooms need way more work and investigating. people who have looked deeper have found trans stuff that went unreported. Kathleen Stock speaks about this reporting problem that occurs too. but I don't have that data and don't expect you to believe it and my argument doesn't really rest upon this anyway.
my main position on bathrooms, changing rooms, shelters and prisons etc is this. it is men who are violent. not every man is violent but between men and women it is the men who commit by far the most violence against other men and against women. for this reason it is unconscionable to me to offgass a male pattern violence problem onto women by putting men into women's restrooms. just because a person is trans does not in any way take them out of the statistics for male pattern violence. men having a violence problem against men is a real problem but I do not think its a problem that ought to be dumped onto women. it is not that I think trans people are more likely to commit violence or sexual assault.... but men are more likely and so men cannot go into women's restrooms among women and among young girls.
it will lead to more violence for certain because men are statistically more likely to be violent than women and many bathrooms present an opportunity for violence and vulnerability.
but also I have listened to a lot of panels from women in Europe on this topic and what women say is that they use restrooms for a lot more than just using the restroom... for one thing they use restrooms to get away from men who are bothering them, and they use women's restrooms to have informal meetings with women, and they use women's restrooms to get away from the public when they need a break and they use restrooms to change tampons and other feminine activities and the panels I've listened to say that they just absolutely do not want men intruding on those private spaces because people don't realize how differently women act around men and how when there's a man in the room it changes the dynamics completely so it's a lot more than just safety it's also about psychological comfort and emotional comfort for women to have a place to go alone away from men.
And let's not forget how hard women had to fight to get their own restrooms it's not as if they were just given to them. in the beginning women's rights activists had to fight hard to get private spaces where they were not harassed by men in restrooms. If we open up restrooms to trans men and the men don't have to pass as women it's the same as saying you're opening up restrooms to men again and women's rights will have taken a major hit.
So on the one hand we are told that this is a major problem that has to be dealt with... and it is a problem I think we need to deal with as a society... but on the other hand we're told we can't fund third spaces and so the solution is to dump the entire problem onto women to deal with. once women see it this way... once its framed like this... they often change their minds about supporting trans people in this way.
I personally believe the push to put men into women's restrooms, sports team, changing rooms, prisons etc is just lazy and its an unwillingness to fund an actual solution which is third spaces... and single-use restrooms. I would absolutely support any legislation that raised taxes, or a gas tax, or a sin tax, or anything you could think of to fund third spaces, it's not that I don't want a solution I just want a solution that's best for everyone involved and that doesn't force certain communities to compromise their rights to accommodate others.
Still a pittance compared to what the trannies have caused in the past few years. Also... Surprising and I hope that dude gets his in JAIL. <--- see how that works? No one cheering or defend this dude.

A MASS amount trans folk and a spattering of lefty supporters. But you already knew that.Who specifically was cheering on the Nashville murders? Anyone who did is a piece of shit. Simple.
That doesn't make any sense.Teaching kids about fuckin your neighbors wife vs teaching kids that it's okay to be whatever you want in this life.
The confused tranny dorks would go crazy. The real females would be annoyed for 3 seconds.Cool, then you should have no problem with us agreeing that ending elective surgery solves this.
WRONG. Reality is still reality.Your entire argument boils down to some shit you read on the internet and select examples.
The lefty trans group would be HAPPY to let you know how that DOES represent their group. Can't say the same for ONE christian. See the difference??But perhaps that's not representative of the entire group just like the pastors aren't.

Gender dysphoria is not a synonym for being transgender

No, you just don't actually understand what trans meansThen they're not really trans.
No, they still feel like they were born in the wrong body. They just aren't suffering because of it.They're just some stupid nonbinary narcissist with a septum piercing. It's like the new goth - a fashion statement.
No, you just don't understand what trans means
No, they still feel like they were born in the wrong body. They just aren't suffering because of it.
Gender dysphoria is largely the result of social factors. Which is precisely why gender-affirming care is such an effective treatment.
Apparently notYou communicate in a very pedantic and condescending way acting like you're the only person educated on this subject. I know what trans and gender dysphoria means.
Maybe. I'm sure you have talked to lots of trans people about it.A lot of transgender people would completely disagree with you that you don't need gender dysphoria to be trans.
Yeah, a minority view within the community.In fact, the transgender people who believe this even have a name - they're called transmedicalists.
*In your opinionOnly in like the last few years have all these "nonbinary" people have come out of the woodwork and hijacked the transgender movement. Most of these nonbinary people are a bunch of young girls that are confused and have a whole bunch of other mental illnesses. It's not a surprise that most of the new nonbinary people mostly happen to be young girls and all have similar fashion (dyed colored hair and piercings.) It's a fucking fashion statement.
AgreedREAL trans people have always existed,
Not necessarilyhave real dysphoria
Very few things in the world are binary. Gender is not one of them.and they live in the binary.
Of course I can. Especially if the question was honest.
The problem is that none of you are arguing in good faith.
Not true. I am willing to have a good faith discussion about trans rights and gender affirming care any time you want.You're just doing the same thing.
I only call people dishonest if they are saying things that are dishonest.You think if you call anything you don't like "dishonest" that means you don't have to respond.
Try me.Because you know your position is indefensible.
