President Joe Biden Declares Easter Sunday As Transgender Day Of Visibility

[The Hammer]

I do love people with mental illness, I have a young Trans friend in a 12-step program that is welcomed, accepted and loved. Its an "outside issue" in 12 step programs. I had him speak at my home group last year. My sister is gay, one of the nicest people I know. She's probably still atheist, but not a Christian hating activist. You assume that I hate because you hate me, you hate Christians in general and I don't care! Fact is the Trans movement is being shoved down everyone's throat! The White House deliberately chose to emphasize this issue on Easter. This would likely not even be an issue if the Left hadn't decided to force everyone in the world to accept peoples lifestyle who cannot accept themselves.

*Insert* "I know black people/have black friends, of course I'm not racist!"

 

[Polymath257]

If we assume his logic is consistent - which I think is a stretch - it seems that @Colt thinks that acknowledging the existence of trans people on any date that could align with Easter is a problem. Apparently, trans people need to go into hiding from March 22 to April 24.

I’m sure many think that would not be enough time hiding.

 

[Twilight Hue]

Your point? Folk will still be doing that even with transfolk existing. Not everyone is trans majority are cisgender and that wont change. And even transfolk can have children.

Transfolk can adopt children. They can't actually have children aside from some third party procedures like invitro fertilization. They can rear children however.

 

[McBell]

This is a quote from the scripture IMOP.

Romans 1:18-32​

​

King James Version​

​

​

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Few things....not all trans folk have surgery. I haven't had surgery and im trans. Two there's procedures usually done on nonbinary folk that allow for one person to have both a vagina and a penis. On an AFAB person its vaginal preserving phalloplasty or Metoidplasty depending on which the person chooses This person if they keep their ovaries can give birth via c section and can get pregnant. Some trans men choose this as well as to have children. On an AMAB person its called phallus preserving vaginoplasty. This is done mostly on nonbinary folk but again they could get someone pregnant and have a vagina if they keep their testicles

Edit: and some choose to have their testes or ovaries removed but still have children because you can have them before surgery...did you forget that's a possibility?

 

[McBell]

Can a man pretending to be a women get pregnant?

There are a lot of women who can not get pregnant.
Which would mean that getting pregnant is rather poor way to determine who is and who is not a woman.

The White House deliberately chose to emphasize this issue on Easter.

This would likely not even be an issue if the Left hadn't decided to force everyone in the world

Aha, now we are getting somewhere - it is all a Marxist conspiracy. A few questions if I may.
Have you ever read Marx, Engels, Lenin, Trotsky or even Proudon, Bakunin Kropotkin or Chomsky. I hope so because then you could point out where this diabolic transexual scheme fits into the class war.

Also, I would like to point out that the "left" which you seem to despise so much, was always against Slavery, the oppression of workers, the oppression of women, putting little kids down coal mines, colonialism and fascism. Do you have a problem with that or is it just people with sex lives that you consider unsavoury that gets you agitated?

 

[McBell]

"Now, therefore, I, Joseph R. Biden Jr., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 31, 2024, as Transgender Day of Visibility."

If you really believe that this was not discussed in the White House beforehand then..................................

Um...
So what?

We get it.
You are desperate to be a victim.

 

[Colt]

This reminds me of some Christian conservatives I know who insisted that they can't be racist against black people because they have "black friends."

The Left tries to discredit anyone who disagrees with their agenda by first declaring them racist or bigots. That way truth doesn't matter. If you need for me to be a racist because a boy dressed up like a woman isn't a woman, then suit yourself.

Here you are merely whining that the opposition has stooped down to the bar set by Christians.
I can not wait until they start going door to door with it.
You know, like when Christians are shoving their beliefs down everyone elses throats.

I’m sure many think that would not be enough time hiding.

"How dare Pride Month happen in June?! This is an affront to... to... (flips through pages) the feast day of St. Norbert! Even though I'm not even Catholic, this is an assault on Christianity!"

I noticed that when I finally got caught up the three pages since my last visit.

 

[Guitar's Cry]

Can a man pretending to be a women get pregnant?

Yes. And very likely it has happened.

"Man/woman" are social constructs. They are identities related to how we interact and relate to each other. They are malleable things.

For now, people with biologically male body parts are unable to get pregnant regardless of whether they are women or men in their social or personal identities. Should that matter? Of what practical purpose does knowing someone's ability to concieve serve beyond being in a relationship and having kids?

Why is it so important that a person born with specific chemistry that develops their neutral biology into specific reproductive purposes fall into line with things like clothing, pronouns, societal roles, and bathrooms?

Keep in mind that sex organs are analogous to each other: testicles are ovaries, labia are scrotum, and clitorides are penises, just developed differently based on hormones.

I understand that there are religious beliefs that may change a person's perception about this, but in secular society a person's reproductive status is their business.

 

[Sgt. Pepper]

The Left tries to discredit anyone who disagrees with their agenda by first declaring them racist or bigots. That way truth doesn't matter. If you need for me to be a racist because a boy dressed up like a woman isn't a woman, then suit yourself.

If you say so, Colt. I don't "need" you to be anything, nor do I expect you to be somebody that your own words have plainly revealed that you are not, namely someone who lives up to the spiritual beliefs they profess. For the record, I called the conservative Christians I referred to in my prior post racist bigots because they refer to black people with the N-word, call black men "boys," and say that black people need to "remember their place" and should not speak to white people unless spoken to. They also state that it is their Christian duty to vote for and loyally support Trump because, first, he is a white man; second, because God anointed him to be the president; and third, because he has restored the racial superiority of white people in this country.

 

[Laniakea]

This reminds me of some Christian conservatives I know who insisted that they can't be racist against black people because they have "black friends."

Which reminds me that when a hater of Christian conservatives accuses a Christian of being racist, there is no acceptable argument to prove otherwise.
One the label is applied, the accused is condemned. Just the way anti-Christians like it. It shuts down any hope of rational dialogue.
