How do trans people affect you? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J. Lane Easter, DVM A born Texan has instilled in his system a mind-set of no retreat or no surrender.

The correct answer is much shorter than that roid heads rant. Trans people simply have no effect on my life. | |||

Not Dr. Easter’s life. He simply finds their existence repugnant. He forgets the majority of voters finds his existence and mine as a big game hunter repugnant. One has more right to live as the person they believe themselves to be than hunt elephants. | |||

You’re losing yourself Heym. You stand for nothing. To compare man’s oldest occupation, the foundation of civilization itself, let alone this whole website, to denying the order of nature itself is self flagellation. You’ve fallen for anything. Making excuses and apologies for anti hunters is doing all hunters a disservice. Particularly here amongst what should be our staunchest supporters. | |||

I stand for what I have written. Trans people Al have more right to their lives than we do to hunt elephants. Hunt elephants if you wish and conservation supports it. Leave people to their Lives. That is what I stand for. I spent all day on the 4th defending Elephant and Lion hunting. My words are not an attack on hunting conservation. It is true observation that Dr. Easter engages in what most people believe to be a repugnant activity. As long as conservation supports it, I support it. There is no right to hunt elephants. There is a right to be secure in your person and your happiness. | |||

I'm sure that everyone has friends and family that are queer. They don't demand any special favors and they don't offend anyone. The only trans person I knew was offensive. No telling how many people he ran out of the antique shops. You get some ugly 6'4" man in a dress and people aren't going to stay around. You ain't lived till you come around the corner and this freak is sitting in a chair with his legs spread wide open. | |||

By that logic, shouldn’t a person who believes that there are two biological sexes, and that those sexes equate to two genders, be allowed to live their life believing such? And don’t they have a right to “live their truth” just as much as anyone else? Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure.

What if I don't like guys with beards. Can I punch one of them--to "live my truth." Should the KKK be allowed to "live their truth" by burning crosses in front yards of the people they hate? Mr. Brown, don't you think it would be REASONABLE to put a caveat on the "live your truth" philosophy? Like maybe, live your truth, so long as you don't harm someone else? That's where we must draw the line. And btw, if you discriminate against someone, you're harming them. | |||

Violence and intimidation are already outlawed, so the answer is “no” to your first two questions. I don’t need a caveat because the question was simply:

Hardly a simple question. My answer starts out: Yes, so long as the person doesn't discriminate against or harm someone else. But the question also leads to a broader one: does someone have the right to live in ignorance and unreasoning fear? I suppose the answer is yes to that one too; except such people have no right to raise kids in ignorance. If someone believes the earth is flat, our schools should do our best to educate their kids anyway. I notice you didn't answer my third question. | |||

I read something interesting the other day. It drew a straight thread from Marx to the Frankfurt School to the American New Left in the 60s to today’s Progressives demonstrating the intention, aim, and goals of these thought systems. Understand this and one easily understands our culture war. | |||

Roland, Is this the question that you are referring to? I thought that was a rhetorical question. I absolutely 100% agree with your caveat, no one should act in ways that cause harm to another person. Which is why I won’t allow you or anyone else to tell me what I am allowed to think, or whether or not I’m allowed to express my thoughts openly. Thought control far more offensive to me than the idea that someone, somewhere might possibly hold an opinion that is “offensive”. Telling me that I am allowed to have thoughts that are offensive, but that I am not allowed to express them is even more offensive, especially since I have no idea which of my thoughts someone else might find offensive. After all, if I hold a belief that that I don’t find offensive, how will I know if anyone else might find it offensive without expressing it to others? Offensiveness aside, how will I ever find out if something is correct or incorrect without discussing it with others, thereby allowing them the chance to educate me and cure my ignorance?

Nice try Lane, but no one is going to fall for that BS. The Earth’s shape is not just an identity that anyone can choose. Gender is just a social construct that can be chosen on a whim, with the support of a team of doctors armed with synthetic hormones and a dick/tit saws to make the choice appear to have been natures own work. Never mind the fact that they destroyed everything that makes men and women both magical and distinct from each other in the process. Man Lane, I hope that I haven’t offended you with the truth.

are you certain? people are "identifying" as dogs cats, spirits, etc why could one not choose "flat earth" as an identity ? btw, the Lyon Martin Community Heath , Trans care unit, has a multipage form of "pronouns and titles" , essentially you may "choose" as your "identity" or you may create a new one, with whatever term you wish.

IMHO, the problem is that Americans have stopped "identifying" first and foremost as Americans and started identifying as Republicans or Democrats, Black, white Asian or Hispanic (white doesn't deserve a capital letter), Christian, Protestant, Catholic, Baptist, Southern Baptist, Methodist, some other Methodist, Lutheran, LBGQ+ (not even sure what the + means), etc. I'm sure I've missed some of the groups that think that status is more important than being an American.

Years ago an AR member named Jetdriver told me Africa's problem was tribalism in answering my question about. Shona vs Ndebele, Hutu vs Tutsi. I read the other day that Methodist churches are splitting from the Methodist church over ideology. I also read that Southern Baptists are splitting over ideology. We have Republicans that swear to never support Democrats no matter what, all the same old, worn out racism and bigotry, and our friend Lheym refers to a or the "Faction" as if they're Jews or dogs or McCarthy era Communists. I think California's government is very tribal, maybe Texas the same. I don't think we are United States. I think we are divided, "factionalized" and falling apart. The 21st century Tower of Babel. | |||

division in this country is the problem. And that has been fostered by extremist groups, perhaps on both sides, but primarily by the Progressive Left, not to let the Right Wing Nutjobs off the hook. | |||
