Do you support transgenderism?

[TylerKuykendall]

Yes. I'm transgender.

Yes. I'm not transgender.

No.

No, but at the same time, I don't care.

I don't know.

[BlueScorpio]

People can do what they want to, I can't stop you from doing what you do and that's between you and the Lord. But, no I don't support it. You are born who you are, there's no such thing as a man becoming a woman or woman becoming a man, you can take all the hormones you want, surgeries, wear the opposites sex clothing all day long, but by the end of the day, you're dna/chromosomes say who you really are. I just think we are encouraging someone to be who they are not and to go alone with a fantasy, and I just can't do that with you. I will respect you as a human being obviously, cause you deserve that right but that's as far as i can go with you.

If we put two men with resources such as shelter, food etc. on an island and come back in 20 maybe 100 years later. Will there be children on the island?
If we put two women with resources such as shelter, food etc. on an island and come back in 20, 100 years later. Will there be children on the island?
If we put a biological male and a transgender woman with resources such as shelter, food etc. on an island and come back in 20, 100 years later. Will there be children on the island?
If we put a biological woman with transgender male with resources such as shelter food etc. on an island and come back in 20, 100 years later. will there be children on the island?
If we put two transgenders (both male or female) with resources such as shelter, food etc. on an island and come back in 20, 100 years later. Will there be children on the island?

I gave you all those scenario now tell me whats the answer? All those answer lead to no. And yes i know not everyone wants kids, some biological women can't have kids blah blah.. the point is it just doesn't work with nature.

[Ibeji]

I find the concept of gender dysphoria interesting in the face of this. I don’t think being transgender is a disorder or illness of any kind, just a deviation from what has commonly been considered normal. I hope the topic of the psychological and emotional process of someone identifying as a different gender than their assigned sex gets researched more.

[cth96190]

No, I do not approve.
Transgenderism is a mental illness and was classified as such before 2018, when the loons took over and reset the diagnostic boundaries of mental illness.
Prior to that, see this opinion of an eminent psychiatrist.
https://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/michael-w-chapman/johns-hopkins-psychiatrist-transgender-mental-disorder-sex-change
https://waltheyer.com/transgenders-4-studies-say-its-mental-disorders/
Indulging the fantasies and wishful thinking of someone who calls themselves transgender harms them, because it gives them licence to go further down the rabbit hole.
I have witnessed three individuals go through this process and it did not end well for any of them.
The rate of self harm and suicide among people who call themselves transgender is horrendous and remains so after what is called gender reassignment surgery, which is a pandering term for surgical mutilation.
A case can be made that gender reassignment surgery makes their torment worse, after they realise that the surgery was not a ticket to happiness.

People who call themselves transgender are tormented horribly by their condition and need help. Pandering to their delusion can only hurt them.

[godfatherfan]

This is one of those 2 sided things.
1) I don't give even 1 shit what someone wants to call themselves, who they fuck or what they fuck. I don't care how you dress or what you look like. I don't care if you are white, black, yellow, brown, pink or purple.
2) But I do not support people putting whatever they feel like on official documents. Pick a gender. I don't care which. But none of this "other" bullshit. These people that "I identify as a rock" are looking for attention.

[mikebeckers]

Trans is usually binary so the "other" bs doesn't apply to them.
However it does apply to some in the LGBT community it some way, but the label "other" is viewed negatively as it alienates them by the nature of the word "other".

[modelUN242]

I don't support it because I know that trans people are still unhappy after transitioning and even try transitioning back, which the media doesn't report. The famous trans people in the media are trying to make it glamorous and cool but in reality it's a terrible feeling. I believe there are two genders, male and female. If you feel like a man, why do you need a d*ck to justify that? What happens down the road when you're feeling suicidal?

[JimboGB]

Completely agree, 60% of confused children change their mind before adulthood and 1 in 3 try to commit suicide, yet you have a segment of the population cheering them on instead of offering the psychological help they require.

[DeIina]

I dont support it, I think people are shalow and spoiled and they choose unnecessary surgeries to male themselves look a certain way, whether its body image issues or gender issues. I think people can identify themselves and express themselves any way they want, but messing with a perfectly healthy body is just nod needed. If we were in 1800s and plastic surgery did not exist, all these people would find a way to be happy with their bodies because that is simply the most natural thing to do. God makes no mistakes. But if a person has already gone through transition I would keep this to myself since it can't be undone and I want them to be happy.

[CheeseBurgah]

AGE 98 JESUS CHRIST
I do agree

[menina]

I do. Transgender people are not hurting anybody, they're just living their lives they way they want to live.
Plus, I'd rather see someone going through a mental and physical process that makes them happy instead of committing suicide or living a lie.

[Shamalien]

in what way is a transgender person not living a lie post op? You are born one thing, you get surgery to look like another, superficially, but under the hood you are still what you are born as. How is that not a lie? Most everyone is living a lie these days tbh it's not just trannies, it's all of society. Every time a woman puts on makeup and takes a selfie with filter she's living a lie.

And they are hurting somebody. They are hurting themselves. I agree that they have that right, and I would never attempt to control them in that sense, HOWEVER, I cannot support self harm.

[menina]

@Shamalien I'm not going to argue with you. I see that you're strongly against transgenderism and you're not going to change your mind.
Comparing the usage of makeup or taking selfies with filter with transgenderism doesn't sound right to me.
So you're free to believe in whatever you want and I'll keep my opinion too.

[Shamalien]

Of course you won't argue with me, you won't even bother trying to understand my point of view. You know I was fully supportive of my friend's transition at the time. Everyone praised me for 'sticking by them' when their other friends dropped off.

Things are not always as they seem, I don't want to argue with you, but consider re-examining the situation. That's all I ask. You could save somebody's life

[menina]

@Shamalien You're the one who thinks that I'm not getting your point. I do, I just disagree with you.

[Shamalien]

"Comparing the usage of makeup or taking selfies with filter with transgenderism doesn't sound right to me."

either your comprehension is really poor or you didn't make any kind of attempt to understand me.

[Shamalien]

it's like you just glossed over everything I said in half a second and didn't even really read it, honestly.

[modelUN242]

Trans people are hurting society, they're taking over every institution including schools, brainwashing kids. They're a nuisance and whenever I see them, I roll my eyes. Letting people do whatever they want nowadays will have consequences to the rest of society, it's selfish.

[Shamalien]

@modelUN242 the problem isn't letting them do what they want, it's playing into their delusions. Sure, cut off your dick, but don't claim it makes you a woman, and obviously we shouldn't lie to children about this reality either.

[Anonymous]

I don't support the politically correct view of transgenderism in our society; and I am trans. As it is the meanest possible thing you can do to us, in my opinion. Compassion would be to try and understand why we have become dysphoric towards our gender and help us overcome this. Instead they advocate flooding our bodies with what would be an unnatural amount of hormones for the opposite sex, mutilate our genitalia, and permanently sterilize us. All for a 1% drop in the suicide rate from 40 to 39; which could easily be well within the margin of error. If that is what passes for compassion I don't want it.

[Shuri]

I guess it depends on what you mean by support. Do I think a person should have the right to change their gender? Within certain perimeters, yes. I think they should have to undergo intense psychological evaluations to make sure that's the right thing, but that should be available. Do I think they should have the same basic human rights as others without fear of discrimination, prosecution, or threats? Absolutely.

I do not, however, support it in the sense that I personally believe those who are transgender are mentally ill, and I think it needs to be classified that way. There is nothing natural about wanting to change your sexual reproduction organs, hormone levels, and body like that. I don't think it's right, and to be honest, you would never hear from my lips the recommendation to get gender reassignment surgery.

[Shamalien]

No I'm staunchly vehemently against it, when that opinion doesn't get me fired. Still working on getting myself into a place in life where I can speak my mind without being cancelled. Who wants to help me change the culture?

Seriously though, there is nothing funny or trendy about self harm. I saw a couple of friends go through this... I've seen first hand what the community does to people who really just are having an identity crisis and are vulnerable. It's a sick, disgusting, IMMORAL evil cult and I STRONGLY WARN anyone getting involved with this community to research the other side of transgender people who left the community and de-transitioned.

[itsjustlew]

I don’t really care they can do themselves as long as they don’t shove the fact their transgender down my throat by mentioning their trans and wearing trans flag stuff all the time (I know people like this) then I would be annoyed but besides that it’s their lives let them live it

[OnlyMyOpinion]

I'm not clear on what "support" means anymore. If I find a transperson, I try to be respectful, address them in the way they dress. But I'm totally against transathletes dominating women's sports, gender-neutral schools, and people like Karen White being sent to women's prisons only to sexually assault two of the inmates.

[OnlyMyOpinion]

Also against transitions for underage people. If they're not old enough to drink, they're not old enough to undergo a sex change operation.

[OnlyMyOpinion]

No puberty blockers either: child abuse.

[OnlyMyOpinion]

And absolutely NO changes to Title IX to be inclusive based on identity. Identity was not the basis for establishing women's sports and other areas where we segregated by sex. Biological/physiological differences in the sexes were.

[OnlyMyOpinion]

If we wanna establish transsports with limited participation or let trans people participate in men's sports, totally cool with that. But women's sports weren't designed for people born biologically male or cis-women pumped full of male levels of testosterone with beards.

[TadCurious]

No I don't and I care very much about the effect this ideology is having on children. At best it's a promotion of what is a mental pathology as a normal state of being, and at worst it results in extreme hormone "treatments" and surgical mutilation that are child abuse.

[BurnHollywoodBurn]

Facts!

[JackSmy]

I have friends that are, and going both ways. They are my friends and I support them, and defend them, when Trolls and haters on here judge, without knowing.
Personally, I am not, and identify as straight, hetero, and adore women. I don't understand how my trans friends feel, but that is OK, because they are my friends, and I support them, and love them as my friends.

[Danalikes89]

I am male who lives as a girl for 3 years. Not because I am transgender, I am not. I simply like playing girl better. I feel both male and female but more feminine so I live a girly life. Plus the sex as a girl is so much better receiving than giving.

[Medlife]

I think people should be free to be who they wanna be. Im bisexual but i prefer women sexually and men relationship wise. Most bi or curious women become bitchy when things dont go their way and that is where i prefer men. I like muscular females with strong features hence i dont mind trans.

[SomeGuyCalledTom]

Trans *activism* I largely disagree with, but if someone chooses-- as an adult individual-- to go the trans route then my attitude is "live and let live". But I think the ideology and murky science that the activists push should be kept out of classrooms, and nobody under age of 18 should be allowed to go through hormone "therapy" or sex change operations.

[genericname85]

no, i do not. i let them live. i don't actively try to stop them from living their live. they can do whatever the fuck they want as long as they're not doing criminal things. that doesn't mean i'm obliged to support them. i mean nobody is obliged to support me. so why should i be obliged to support them?

[BurnHollywoodBurn]

They can do what they want but the second they try to push their delusion to the point where it gets someone fired or interferes with normal people that is when there is gonna be a problem.

[genericname85]

@BurnHollywoodBurn yup. if they're trying to force me to use their pronouns, i won't oblige. if they're trying to force me to date them, cause "equality", i won't oblige. if they're being up in my face, i'll tell them to back off. if they won't back off, i'll tell them that i'll force them to back off if they don't and ultimately i will force them... that's how this goes. that's just reasonable conduct. that's how i wanna be treated. and that's how i will treat them.

[BurnHollywoodBurn]

I feel the same.

[genericname85]

@BurnHollywoodBurn respect is not deserved. it's earned. people that didn't earn my respect but demand it, will have it way harder to earn it.

[BurnHollywoodBurn]

They wanna impose their will on us and when we refuse to allow them we are the ones who are called hateful as they attack us for our beliefs.

[genericname85]

@BurnHollywoodBurn well i don't hate them for living their life. i hate them for demanding that i support them. they're not supporting me so what the fuck do they want from me? fuck them! ever heard of the principle of reciprocity? if you give support, you can demand support.

[BurnHollywoodBurn]

I am not gonna call a man a woman I am not gonna be silent when I am angry hearing about someone fired from their job because they refused to call a man a woman.

[genericname85]

@BurnHollywoodBurn if someone politely asks me to refer to them as "she" and they actually do obviously make a big effort to seem like a woman and i respect them, i may consider doing them theat favor. if they just demand that from me, that's not gonna happen.

i'm very lucky to live in a society, where the laws are decided by completely incompetent leftists... so here you don't get to put "woman" on your id, if you're a dude.

[genericname85]

@BurnHollywoodBurn aren't*** xD

[BurnHollywoodBurn]

I could never call them a she I just could not do it lol. Only if I was making a joke like I called a male friend of mine she to make fun of him that is as far as I would go. I would never give these things the satisfaction because I cannot and will not encourage their delusion.

[genericname85]

@BurnHollywoodBurn that's fair. nobody should make you do that.

[girlwithsomeqs]

i truly dont give a fuck. who cares what people do. nothing is real, we all die, none of it matters. having a strong opinion on it when you're not a transgender person, or someone who cares about a trans person, is a waste of time

[Elis678]

In this sense you're right. Remember we're all going to be dead, actually is something I need to remind myself when I give too much of a fuck.

[MountAverage]

I'm not transgender and I support anyone who's being discriminated against based on something they didn't choose. I will also never undertand why so many people have such intense negative emotions towards transgender people. I care about what kind of person someone is, not what gender they identify with.

[crmoore]

I believe they have a right to express themselves in any way the want, within reason. And I support that right, otherwise it would be hypocritical. That being said, I don't believe gender is a real thing. There is only biological sex. What I don't support is telling heavily impressionable children that their brain might not be what their body is, nor do I support transitioning a child (17 and under).

[Hurlyburly]

I do not actively support them, as in I do not go to parades or whatever, I'm just fine with people living their own lifes like they want to, as long as they do not harm anyone else in the process. So I'm like... indifferent I guess?

[tHISpLACEiSbONKERZ]

The only problem I've ever had with the trans community is when I see people say that staight guys should give them a chance or that they're phobic when they don't. The number one reason why guys like girls is because girls don't have penises. To all who do this, maybe try the bisexual community, to them I assume you're a 2in1.

[slatyb]

What do you mean by "support?" I can't judge others feelings. If someone says their name is "Sarah" and to use "she" that's their name and pronoun. I have some serious reservations about people with Y chromosomes competing in women's sports.
