I have an idea for a new thread...

Oddly enough I had a similar viewpoint as you in SA but over people there is very little judgement/finger pointing/ loud opinions and it works really well.

 

Copenhagen pride is a huge event here for the whole family. Families with kids line the streets to watch a mind blowing variety of sexually alternative peope strut their stuff with nary a comment past. Surely that is better than vocally objecting to something you don't agree with - all that ahieves is to make people feel uncomfortable about themselves.

 

That's just because you don't understand Danish.

it is even more applicable. the only thing worse than being pregnant or depressed is living with someone who is pregnant or depressed

So then depressed pregnant is the worst?

[Robbie Stewart]

sure, it will have that going for it.

But can you imagine the confusion, mommy has a totti and daddy has a V-J-J and then it goes out into the real world and its the other way around.

 

Sorry, I know I'm old and very much un-PC, all this "I identify as" stuff to me is mostly hogwash.

Exactly like the article, "First male to get pregnant" , BS, it has the biology of a female.

 

For what? You are right. No need to apologise.

[Patensie]

 

My (admittedly uneducated and un-Pc) view is that most of these "alternative" people only do it to extract a reaction. 

Until a 5 year old you know and love is diagnosed with gender dysphoria and you have to support his/her parents through potential heartbreaking decisions... and it hits close to home. Educate yourself before commenting on something that is really be heartbreaking for those involved. 

 

But to keep the fred on track: Listen...

That is why he said "most of these people"...

[DJR]

He is simply WRONG! Most transgender, gay or lesbian people face an incredibly difficult life full of internal struggle, discrimination and abuse and deserve a lot more tolerance from all of us. As in most things extreme, it is only a very small minority who will do anything to "extract a reaction". It does not mean you have to approve, agree or even understand, but it is so little to ask to live and let live, that I find it difficult to understand why it is so rare.  

[Patchelicious]

Perhaps it will be better if we rather try educate/convince those who have more conservative/different views than ours, rather than calling out every little difference in our views.

He is simply WRONG! snip snip...but it is so little to ask to live and let live

Mmmmm...

How you can "diagnose" a 5 year old with said gender dysphoria is honestly beyond me.

 

You are 5, you know nothing. Let alone anything about your own sexuality,

Lets clear a few things up.

I'm not that uneducated that I think transgender,gay,lesbians etc. dont have issues. But I am also aware enough of the fact that there are many people that will associate themselves with "controversy" just to get their 15 minutes of the fame. And my personal opinion is that most of what we see in media and social media are the fame seekers and not the genuine sufferers.

 

Secondly, whilst I have an opinion on the matter, like I have opinions on religion, politics and many other things, I generally let people be, you can be what/who/whatever you want, you can believe whatever you want, but when you start trying to persuade/advertise/shove it in my face I will react.

 

Dont go making things into what they are not, that article was all about attention seeking. A male body copulated with a female body and nature did what was intended. What the minds attached to those bodies feel/think/believe they are can not change biology.
