Well aren't you the flower of your family? A blooming idiot perhaps? You just put all religious in the very same pot right after claiming sexually "normal" folks put all LGBTQ in the same pot. Actually, we're well aware of their differences but we also know they're all sexual perverts and mentally ill. Their sexuality is not normal, natural and neither physically nor mentally healthy no matter what you think.

If we believe transgender is a medical condition why not try to help these people rather than go out of our way to treat them like outcasts, individuals to be feared and despised? We treat others with birth defects like cleft lip and down syndrome with respect and compassion. Savvy parents teach their kids about relationships, sex and sexuality throughout all aspects of their lives. Do you really think anyone would actually choose to be a member of a despised group of people? Could you personally ever be persuaded to change your sexual orientation? I have two close relatives who are queer and happily married to same-sex partners. They are totally accepted by our family and friends and members of our community. I do not personally associate with self-righteous, racist bigots.

The whole thing is the height of stupidity. There is no such thing as a transgender. God made 2 genders, Male and Female. The people that claim to be something else are sick and some are just perverts who want to use the others bathroon and showers, Why this government is condoning this behavior is a mystery to me. Maybe they think they will get their vote
If you are in doubt whether they are what they say they are, tell them to pull down their pants and , Problem solved.

Yep, If one is the age of consent say 18 to 21 and they want to pay for such a mutilation, have at it. Only babies born with severe genital malformations should be allowed to have surgery. Of course genetic studies would be obtained to see if the baby is actually XY or XX. (Or some variation thereof like XXY or XYY that is rare.) Granted, this is a rare occurrence but the genital reconstitution should left in the hands of the parents and the specialists involved with the surgery on the baby. Some XY babies have such deformed genitals that it's impossible to surgically make them a male body type. In that case they're assigned a female body type and proceed surgically in that direction.

That's fine, I do not associate with queers . Transgender is not a medical condition until they do surgury to try to change them. It's a mental condition, and they should be treating it instead of condoning it.

I guess the bottom line is why would you care? Frankly if you want to go through life wrapped in a feather boa, with a rainbow colored feather duster stuck in your keister I don’t give a damn.

How Replacing Biological Sex with Gender Identity Harms Children
Keri D. Ingraham

“Gender identity” was once just a fringe concept of postmodern philosophy. Today, it’s regularly causing real-world harm to children and teenagers (particularly girls) across the country in sports, schools, and even youth camps.

One glaring example is what recently happened to fifth-grade girls at Weaver Elementary School in Los Alamitos, Ca. Without any warning to parents, two biological males were placed as counselors at Camp Pali in San Bernardino. The counselors spent three nights in the same cabins with the girls (these males instructed the girls to use they/them pronouns). When questioned about the controversial move, Emmi Teige, assistant director of Camp Pali, confirmed it. “Per California law, we place staff in cabins they identify with” was her justification.

One might think this shocking incident in California is an outlier. Yet in reality, it’s only the latest example of the new reality in K-12 public education. Gender identity is taking precedence over student well-being and safety across the nation. For example, in Loudoun Country, Va., a 15-year-old skirt-wearing male student who was allowed to select the school bathroom of his choosing sexually assaulted a female student. Transferred to another school, the boy sexually assaulted another girl. Adding insult to injury, not long after the incident, the National School Board Association labeled parents such as the father of one of these girls, who spoke out against transgender and other radical policies at school board meetings, “domestic terrorists.”

The blatant promotion of transgenderism has infiltrated schools without parental consent and at the expense of academic learning. Gender-identity school policies and practices are becoming widespread. And curricula, books, videos, and activities promoting the transgender ideology are used with students as young as age five. It’s common, moreover, for these materials used with students to contain sexually explicit content.

One example of transgenderism indoctrination is the common use in lower-elementary-school classrooms of the Gender Unicorn and Genderbread Person. These resources employ an endearing character (unicorn or gingerbread man) to guide young children through self-selecting their gender identity, their gender expression, the gender they’re physically attracted to, and the gender they’re emotionally attracted to. Each option — even their “sex assigned at birth” — includes the following categories: women/men, feminine/masculine, and “other.”

Parents are intentionally left in the dark by school personnel about the sexual content taught. Often, parents only find out about the inappropriate content from their children, who are confused and distressed about what they have been taught at school.

For example, the Washington State Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) forbids teachers from communicating with parents concerning the claimed or coerced gender identity of their child starting in kindergarten unless the minor (as young as five years old) gives consent. In a total disregard for parental authority, school personnel are bound to secrecy concerning the acknowledged (and often dramatically celebrated) claimed gender identity of these boys and girls.

Furthermore, OSPI asserts that “a student’s age and grade level ‘should never be used to justify delaying or denying a student’s gender transition.’” The school culture has children questioning and discussing with one another what gender identity they plan to select. Consequently, one Washington State teacher shared that, of her students this year, six have changed their gender identity, and four others have “changed their appearance to resemble the opposite gender but have not announced it.” The intentional secrecy schools employ to circumvent parental awareness and authority is increasingly alarming.

This preoccupation with gender-identity indoctrination is, moreover, at odds with the reality of biological sex, and has several harmful long-term effects on children.

First, the crowding out of academic learning, which is already deficient, by inappropriate sexual classroom content is educational malpractice. It breeds confusion and insecurities, causing lifelong negative consequences, such as mental-health issues. In fact, a recent study indicates that the harm to children from being exposed to sexually explicit material and pornographic content can include poor “mental health, life satisfaction, sexual behavior and attitudes, and pornography-viewing patterns in adulthood.”

Second, this indoctrination fuels identity confusion in students, as it conflicts with their biological reality (think of the Gender Unicorn and Genderbread Person).

Third, bathroom self-selection, non-binary cabin counselors, and males in female locker rooms and on sports teams are not only violating the privacy of girls but also placing their safety at risk.

Fourth, promoting or providing access to gender-blocking hormones and body-change surgeries to children and teenagers adds irreversible damage, including sterilization, to the psychological and emotional abuse of children.

Finally, those states and districts that forbid the disclosure of gender-ideology discussions and that conduct a gender-“transition” plan without parent consent nor communication are not only damaging children but also driving a wedge between parents/legal guardians and their children. Schools label parents who do not affirm their child’s claim to be a gender other than their biological sex as unsupportive. School personnel then quickly and persistently claim that these children are in immediate danger by their “unsupportive” parents and at imminent risk of suicide. In California, for example, public schools have guided students through what to say to trigger child-protective services to remove their parents’ rights so that the minor can obtain hormones and body-change surgeries without parental consent and cost.

What can parents do about these gender identity practices, teachings, and deceitful policies? The first step is to get informed. Talk to your child and their friends, contact teachers, principals, curriculum directors, and district leaders.

The next step is to share what you hear and see with other parents. Inform the school board, state legislators, and others holding power about what is occurring. Let your voice be heard. Vote for school choice and candidates who support parental empowerment.

Parents should also demand educational transparency. Thanks to parents speaking up, bills requiring statewide curriculum transparency in K-12 public schools have been introduced in 19 states. These require public schools — which, after all, are funded by the taxpayers — to make publicly accessible a list of resources used in the classrooms. This move to enhance transparency recognizes that parents have a right to know ahead of time what content will be taught to their children, especially when it’s of a sexual nature. And parents must be given the option to opt their child out.

We need continued vigilance about what is being taught. While curriculum-accountability systems are critically important, they aren’t a foolproof safeguard against teachers using their classrooms (instruction time and beyond) to promote gender ideologies with their impressionable, captive audiences.

In many cases, gender-identity teaching is woven throughout the school day regardless of the subject — sometimes without using any formal teaching resources. For example, in Oregon, schools bypass the requirement to notify parents of gender identity and sexual-content teaching by only requiring parental communication and opt-out allowances for health classes while giving schools free rein to promote the ideas in other classes.

Finally, many may choose to select an alternative learning environment for their students — as parents nationwide are doing. In Washington State, 39,000 children were pulled from public schools in the span of twelve months (between October 2019 and October 2020).

All of this leads to one crucial point: We need universal school choice, provided through public policy, now. Parents need to have the authority over how and what their children are taught. By placing funding with families — not the education system — all parents would be afforded educational options. It’s essential that parents are empowered to protect their children from political agendas and radical practices that are causing long-term harm. It’s an issue of defending parental rights and ensuring authentic accountability by schools entrusted with their children’s education.

You are showing us that you are incapable of judging behavior to be wrong or evil. You justify behavior either as being a medical condition, such as a a cleft lip which we try to cure, or that we should accept that sort of behavior destroying the meaning and sanctity of marriage, because two queers you know, are happily married - albeit not according to God. Your own words condemn you as a law breaker. I'll explain. C.S. Lewis tells us that God has put His moral law into our minds. He wrote, "You find more about God from the Moral Law than from the universe in general just as you find more about a man by listening to his conversations than by looking at a house he built. Now from this second bit of evidence we can conclude that the Being behind the universe is intensely interested in right conduct, in fair play, unselfishness and decency." Otherwise He would not have given us a conscience.

Your conversations here on OPP betray you as a man with a self-inflicted deformed conscience meaning it was your free will choice. Your moral compass, therefore, has been compromised so far as to find you in the extreme limits of the very worst state man can ever attain. You call evil good and good evil. From this state it is practically impossible to ever return to a state of grace. Yet you remain thoroughly convinced that your Leftist moral laws are superior, more compassionate, more loving.

Transgender is not a medical condition, it's a physiological condition known as gender dysphoria. They should be treated with counciling.

It's people like you that aren't doing the trans gender confused any favors by going along with their pretend genders and requiring everyone else to play along and just pretend they are of the different sex that were born with .

For all of you people that think boys claiming they are girls should be allowed to go into their restrooms and locker rooms and complete in girls sports are not showing compassion to the girls one bit and are just morally and mentally
bankrupt as the trans genders are.
