  2. WTF is this "Judeo-Christian West" garbage you are talking about? There is no such thing as "Judeo-Christian" except for fundies who wants to erase their deeply anti semitic past and equate themselves with the victims of hundreds of years of Christian persecution. Judaism is NOT a western religion. It's a tribal religion from the Middle East. Christianity is a Roman made religion with a Judaic mythology. Christians together with Jews in Europe until 1945 was like oil and water. When Christians persecuted JEWS, the JEWS fled to islamic countries whose values of the time far more resembled the LIBERAL WEST of TODAY than your Christianity did at the time. And what would be the motivation of people you consider radicals who "hates the values of the west" be more tolerant towards LGBT people in the first place? On top of that, by you bashing Islam, you are also bashing your own mythology. Since islam took much of its mindset from Christianity. Besides, the constitution of your country is detrimentally opposite of practically everything that you Christians have been promoting since Roman times. But other than that.... Only a RW fundie can ever bash Allah for being more LIBERAL than his own Jesus and think that tolerance for transgender people is the same as genocide against Christians and Jews. Only a fundie can deny that even baby Jesus BLESSED transgender people. The term "transgender did not exist at the time, but the term "eunuch" did. Which was the umbrella term at that time. But please. Why don't you prove yourself to be a MAN and join instead of bitching about how CAIR and "trannies" poses a threat to your existence and ideology? Since when has the Wahabis of Saudi Arabi, ISIS and the Muslim Brotherhood ever been civil rights activists for LGBT people? Isn't it a FACT that there are a number of profiled televangelists and preachers who openly advocate to put every single LGBT person to death in America? So how does these RW radicals represent "Judeo-Christian values and western democracy" better than what you perceive as Islamic radicals"? Care to respond to those questions without getting your head in a twister?

  3. As if the ones who think they are doing a service by becoming cannon fodder for war profiteers have all their marbles intact in the first place? If you want a mentally stable army, perhaps you shouldn't send them into wars so often. And what about all the ViAGRA your taxpayer dollars goes to future rapists with PTSD and a thing for violence? Trans people in the military is one of the least costly items if you are concerned about people's mental health and money! So as long as trans people have been serving the military ever since Christine Jorgensson, and you haven't... STFU.

  4. Have you ever served in the military? No? Do you believe in talking snakes, virgin births, and talking, burning bushes? That might exclude you from being allowed to proudly serve as cannon fodder for your modern day plantation owners! Poor you.

  5. That would exclude you our precious little mental patient.

  7. It's not our fault that REALITY and FACTS has a liberal bias. It's not our fault that 2+2=4 and not 5. It's not our fault that gravity is a thing. It's not our fault that conservatives suffer from collective cognitive dissonance and obviously amnesia.

  8. So what moral basis do you have to deny people to serve for who they are? And what is so moral about joining the military, go to another country and blow up a lot of buildings and people anyway? I am a veteran from Norway, your NATO ally from the Bosnian war in 1993. I also support equal protection under the law, and that trans people be treated like everyone else. This means that discriminatory laws should never be up for vote. That's the REPUBLIC part of a democracy. That's the Bill of Rights parts. Where some things are not up for negotiations just to pander to people's random prejudices. Their needs are not more costly or more immoral than other veterans who gets viagra from the same taxpayer trough. If a trans person is willing to put his or her life on the line for you, then his or her GRS is just your way of saying "thank you" as much as you paying for a new limb for a wounded soldier, the medical cannabis for a poor veteran, or the viagra for traumatized veterans is your way to say... "I am grateful for your service. What can I do to show my gratitude? Are you homeless? My home is your home! You you hungry and have nothing to eat? Feast on my dime! Are you a transgender person who has tried to escape yourself by joining the army, bullies, harassment and even murder? I apologize for my cisgender brethren and sisters, because they do not know what they do. If I can help you with whatever you need to be happy and seek the American dream, your GSR is the least I can do!" That is the only duty you have as a fellow human being, an American and as a Christian have to do since the draft no longer exist, and people like you don't have to serve. So be grateful that someone are willing! That's where your prejudices stops at the door. That is the ONLY thing you should be allowed to say to ANYONE who has ever served, no matter their political opinion, ethnic background, religious conviction (or lack thereof), gender or gender identity. Anything else from a conservative is just hypocrisy. The difference between you conservatives and the trans people who chooses to serve, they are willing to put their bodies on the line for whatever cause you think they fight for. See. Trans people have served armies for decades, ney, centuries already. It's only in the last 60 years medical procedures and science has been able to start mapping and documenting the transgender part of the population. And what they are finding, is that there are far more transgender people or gender variances than previously thought. Trans people serving in the military is not any problem. It's the conservatives who makes it into a problem. Using economy and morality as crutches for their prejudices based on ignorance. So your problem is to find a moral foundation for the war crimes committed by Christian soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan in the first place before you can start talking about the morality of allowing trans people to put their lives on the line for your so called freedom and do something you obviously are not man enough to do: Fight for some failed ideal called American Exceptionalism! Your other problem is how you can find moral ground to treat transgender veterans worse than non-transgender vets. As if their service was less worth. As if their killing of civilians are less moral than when cisgender fundies does it.

  9. Because born with a silver spoon up your arse makes you a better person?

  10. Not about mental illness. It's about how the biology of the brain does not match the body it inhabits. The "illness" is GID. The depressions and suicide thoughts are not ,merely caused by GID, but by outside influences. Like attitudes from bullies, bigots, religious zealots, harassement, fear of being themselves, assault, sexual assault, violence and even death. THAT is what causes so many trans people to consider suicide. It's especially bad some if these things occur in the transgender person's own family, where their parents become their first bullies. The treatment is hormone replacement and SRS for those who need it. The treatment for their depressions is a supportive environment. That's how they cure the "mental illness" of GID. So try to put yourself in some other shoes. Imagine you get a kid who has GID from a young age and is consistent. What do you do? Do you support your own flesh and blood, or do you send your kid to some religious "pray the gay away" camp? Do you shame your child and become a part of the lynch mob, or do you support your child and defend it against bigotry?

  11. False equivalences. Why don't you talk to an actual trans person if you are so interested in passing judgement as well as a diagnosis which makes them less human than you? Imagine you wake up with a woman's body tomorrow. You have the same interests and attractions as you have today. But you have the body of Taylor Swift. I'm sure you would cope with being treated as a woman and expecting you to act as the girl's body you just got assigned? I'm sure if you had the body of some super model, that you would immediately start getting attracted to men, right? Or would you just live happily as a lesbian? Or would you be miserable? Consider these questions before chalking up the old "I think I'm a duck" argument. Some intolerant people surely knows how to act like dicks. They are only ones who fantasize about 45 year old men in a military locker room with 6 year olds as an argument against trans people in the military. Not the trans people themselves. Besides, there are plenty of FtM transgender people in the military. That means, they are more MEN than you are since they are willing to put their "mentally ill" bodies on the line just so you can eat at Fat Duck and spew out gasoline on the highway just as Exxon and Ford wants you to. But if you want to put a transMAN in the same locker room with a 6 year old girl because trans women seem to be a threat to you, I suggest you start to change your perspective a few degrees :-) Or do you want to walk the walk and take the cross that thousands of "young men and women" had to bear just because YOU love war?

  12. So you think that the trans people who has already served has not been "protecting your country"? Besides, how is starting illegal wars all over the Middle East, killing millions of people "protecting your country" anyway? How is a difference if a Sniper Kyle uses dozens of CIVILIANS for target practice and a trans person doing it? NOTHING! Besides, if you haven't been in the military.. STFU civilian pea brain.

  13. I'm sure you will be first in line. Or perhaps the neo-nazis in Charlotteville can join up!

  14. As a veteran and trans ally (which means I support their right to exist, and to be just as stupid as me to serve), all I have to say.. Did you ever serve in the military? No? So what makes you think you are better prepared for war than every single trans veteran who has ever served? What makes you better mentally prepared to aim and shoot at women and children in a country you can't place on a map? What makes you think that Sniper Kyle had all his marbles in place when he was killed back in USA, and Chelsea Manning a sicko who now lives and thrives as a woman? What authority do you have to make the distinction?
