I had a conversation with a friend about the issues that separate the right from the left, and it stayed as a conversation. I was very impressed with her ability to keep it low tones. And because it didn’t flare up (though I needed to be tempered by my husband), we actually were to agree on basic issues that I didn’t think possible. So, let’s start at the beginning. I hadn’t seen this friend in 30 years. She came to visit and put up with my pestering questions and blatant statements. I was sincerely impressed by her commitment to having a conversation. So, what were the main points that we actually shared (though at times from opposite viewpoints)? Homosexuality is natural. It is a desire which one can choose (not easily) not to indulge in because most gay men are truly born with these desires. Now, just because it is natural, it does not have to be fulfilled. I know my cousin never dreamed that I would have a problem with homosexuality. But because most liberals don’t read or know the bible except when they try to use it as a weapon and look to find a particular phrase or understanding that suits them. It is a surprise to most liberals that it is clearly written in the Torah (not even just in the oral law) that homosexuality is not only forbidden, but it is an abomination. Sodomy (which is what homosexuality is when it is two men) is named after the city that chose that lifestyle and was considered so evil that G-d had to obliterate it forever. We didn’t discuss that, but we were (Thank G-d) on the same page that pedophilia is an abhorrent desire. So, even if we understand that a person naturally is born with those tendencies, he is not allowed to act upon them. In fact, she told me there is a support group for pedophiles who never acted out on their desires and know they don’t want to. So again, though we didn’t discuss it, I know there is the same such group for homosexuals. Men who feel great not only desire for their own kind but recognize the law in the Bible and support each other in their hardship so they won’t break the laws written in Torah. Because the left is so much into feelings and natural desires should all be allowed, it won’t be long until pedophilia will be the norm and considered permissible. G-d Forbid. 2. We both agreed that transgenderism is a mental sickness. Body dysphoria, which is the medical name for the sickness, is when the mind, feelings, and whatever else the left wants to convince the general population doesn’t align with the biological body parts, thus causing confusion, depression, and many other factors depending on how the person has been treated. But whatever the case, it is a mental sickness. I don’t know if all transgenders would agree they are mentally sick, but it was a nice place for us to have an agreement. I, of course, wanted to scream out, IF IT IS A SICKNESS, WHY DOES THE WHOLE WORLD HAVE TO BOW DOWN TO THEM? Meaning, yes, if a person is wheelchair-bound, we must build ramps and elevators so they can have easy access to public and private places. But we still have stairs. We don’t make everyone else suffer. There are special Olympics for wheelchair-bound people. They don’t compete with other runners and take advantage of their wheels over a person who is running on two legs. Yet, women in sports now don’t have a place to compete anymore since, suddenly, these FAKE women are competing against them. Wheelchair-bound people have their separate bathrooms or stalls. This is where these FAKE women should go, not in the women’s bathroom. Not in women’s dorms (when they are only women in the dorm). These are FAKE women and don’t belong in places that have been traditionally safe places for women. My friend also wanted to point out that no one wants to be trans. It is a hard life, and unless they are pretty, they must start hormones before they turn into their real biological selves instead of their mentally sick desires. What I learned. She did teach me that puberty blockers are not the same thing as hormones. Puberty blockers have been used on children for years for those who start puberty too early. They are reversible. And we both agreed that the hormones that give transmen hair on their faces and breasts on the FAKE women are forever damaging the person. They can never go back. Girls who go this way will have low voices and hair in places they may not want. They may have problems with pregnancies. And it is coming to light that girls are developing osteoporosis from hormones! What we didn’t agree on is the age. She insisted that even though the person (especially boys wanting to be FAKE women) will be infertile, we as a society have to give them hormones starting at the age of 16, if not earlier. Why? Because they may be bullied, they may commit suicide. Children under the age of 18 can’t have a gun, can’t drink or buy liquor, can’t vote, can’t be in the army, can’t even get a tattoo, but can decide to ruin their bodies and take away the possibility of being a parent anytime in their lives because they may not be pretty enough to pass as a female if they didn’t get hormonal castrated early enough? Also, there may not be as much damage from puberty blockers, but there are consequences (besides just not being normal like all their other classmates); “puberty blockers can weaken bones. The effects on her brain development and fertility aren’t well-understood. The risk of inaction was even more alarming”. Women come in all sizes and looks. If these men want to be women, who cares if they are not pretty women? 3. We did agree on another point. The left is trying to change the language so it will reflect only their point of view. Though we both agreed to this, obviously, we had opposite viewpoints on the approval rate. This is a biggie! By the left using and changing basic words and meaning in the English language, they are intentionally trying to make us approve of their way of thinking. This is the precise reason why if confronted (and honestly, I have been spared) with a trans whom I know or can see is a FAKE woman, I will use the biological pronoun and not their ‘preferred pronoun’. (If they want to change their name, go ahead, that’s personal, but pronouns are grammar and not up to an individual to choose. If they would insist, I’ll call them ‘it’.) I do not accept their new language grammar or vocabulary. I am not a cis-woman. I am a woman. A transwoman is not a woman; HE is a man dressed in women’s clothes. (Like the fabled fox in woolen clothing). (And as such, HE does not belong where women need to have no men.) Sex is actually the performance, and gender is what you are born as a male or a female. There are only two genders. (there are many men who have feminine tendencies and women who have men’s tendencies, and that’s fine, but that doesn’t make them suddenly another gender. It makes them an interesting person to have as a friend. And what sex you do, is behind your bedroom doors. PLEASE do not share. We don’t want to know. And don’t feel the need to explain your sexual appetite to children. Speaking of which, when I was in high school, there were always debates on what would be taught in sex-ed and when. But it was clear no need for sex-ed before 7th grade. And sex-ed was to learn how to have safe sex. Not to teach how to have sex. The idea that there have to be debate books that show how to share in immorality is sick. There should be many books, classics, and teenage thrillers, but there should never be in a children’s library the how–to–do-it sex books. Personally, in our circles (Religious), the girls get a sex-ed class, where they are taught the beauty of their bodies and informed how they are or will be shortly going through puberty. Before our children get married, they are again given private lessons on the beauty of sex and how it builds a marriage—no deviation needed. More words LGBTQ…. Soup is trying to change: Gay used to mean happy. Queer meant odd. Pansex means an immoral person. Affirmative Care now means a place to get medical castrated and mutilated. Affirmative Action is a government policy encouraging racism just now prohibited by the Supreme Court. Planned parenthood means killing preborn babies. Demisexuality is to have relations with only people you love. This is morality, not to be considered an oddity by needing to put on a prefix. Assigned male at birth – Mazel tov a baby boy Pride used to be something good. Now it means arrogant. If trans is a mental sickness, why are we proud? The rainbow has been abducted by the alphabet soup group. But the joke is on them. The Rainbow, though beautiful, is really G-d’s sign that he is angry with us. He shows us the rainbow to remind us we are only alive because he promised he won’t destroy the entire world when we are sinful. It was the promise he made to Noah. Okay, now comes the point should really defeat the left’s aggression toward anyone who disagrees with them. Suicide. Suicide is the argument that the left uses to end all arguments and always with tears. Yep, even my friend used tears, though we were speaking hypothetically and not about a real person. (She is an incredibly sweet, sensitive, and soulful person, so I don’t want to make fun of her tears, but they were predicted by the right in any case.) The argument is that these children need to get the hormones that medically castrate them and more, and can never be reversed because they will otherwise commit suicide. But guess what? That argument doesn’t hold water at all. Let’s break it down. The argument is that transgenderism is a chemical and biological gene that has been with mankind always. These people need to be transgender in order to feel normal and to belong. If They don’t get their hormones, they will need to kill themselves. So, for thousands of years, there have been these people hiding out in their houses and not being able to transgend. In this case, we should see a tremendous number of suicides for these people over the generations, especially among the young, since, anyway, they are more volatile, and that is the group we are talking about. And then the argument should be that now, now that it went from less than a handful of places who would do this type of hormonal and surgical manipulation in the United States, there are now thousands of places in the country. Suicide should be way low. Guess what? It is the opposite. https://abcnews.go.com/Health/suicide-rate-increased-since-2011-among-us-youth-young-adults-cdc/story?id From ABC: Suicide rate increased 60% since 2011 among US youth and young adults: CDC reports The rate rose from 6.9 per 100,000 in 2001 to 11 per 100,000 in 2021. ByMary Kekatos June 15, 2023 Among preteens and teens aged 10 to 14, suicide rates declined in the first half of the aughts and then tripled from 0.9 per 100,000 in 2007 to 2.9 per 100,000 in 2018, with no significant changes through 2021. Teen Suicides Jump 29% Over the Past Decade, Report Finds https://www.medpagetoday.com/ Adolescent suicides rose from 8.4 per 100,000 during the 2012-2014 timeframe to 10.8 deaths per 100,000 in 2018-2020, according to the new edition of America’s Health Rankings Health of Women and Children Report opens in a new tab or window from the United Health Foundation. Adolescent suicides also rose significantly in 10 states. The report captures 121 health measures based on the most recently available public health data from 30 different sources. PEW: Youth Suicide Risk Increased Over Past Decade. New national data highlights concerning trends among high schoolers. The reports are in. As more and more Teenagers and young adults are making permanent decisions that can’t be reversed to their bodies chemically and surgically, they are killing themselves in greater and greater numbers. The suicide reason is false. And Manipulative. The left viewpoint of society, “Wokism,” is a death cult. They push abortion, promote infertility, push suicidal transgender medical intervention on the mentally sick, create dangerous places for women who only recently got those spaces, and want to tell everyone how to speak, thereby changing the way we think. (And don’t get me started with their belief in the green deal, which they justify different forms of murder (like the above). NO, THANK YOU. Don’t give in. Push back this agenda. Recognize the evilness. Their sign, the rainbow, says it all: They are evil. https://www.medpagetoday.com/psychiatry/generalpsychiatry/101188 |
