Oh, Really?

282mi3.jpg [image not found] Yup, this is why deploy this sign when social issues come up. So many other issues are important.

The meme was intended to reflect the views of many working class Americans, not me personally. I agree though: as a country we should focus on our real problems.

That face is the perfect one for this meme! High five!

Maybe the head was placed in the ass to take care of it's own shit

Your suggestion is a distinct possibility nevertheless.

True story, dude I used to work with has a son, I knocked on his door one day and his son had boobs, giant boobs, was not expecting that. Went over there a little while ago and his son can't get the hormones he needs. So his beard is back and his boobs are gone but he's still technically a girl in a dress, not a bearded dude in one I guess. She's a nice guy, I talk to her when I visit her dad, but all she does is play call of duty all day just like when she was a he.

No real point to this story, except even with a sex change it takes a daily dose of hormones for the opposite sex to make it work for life. There is no procedure to make your body produce the hormones of the opposite sex you are born with. I have found this can be rather surprising to see in person with months in between so the change seems sudden. I thought for a minute that another of his sons must have decided he liked to wear dresses also, nope just out of hormones...

That's so horribly sad.

I'm not going to pretend it's for me to tell people what they can do with their bodies, but it's situations like that and the fact the the change is superficial that makes me wonder what's the point to get altered so.

For those who do only look at the surface without understanding how deep the need runs for these individuals, they don't get the point of what is going on inside. It's cosmetic physically, but psychology cuts deeper than others would dare or care to know. Such suffering, and only for others to play victim while hurling so much hatred for no reason at all.

If people think those in this situation are not worthy of compassion, then they should realize they're not worthy of their hatred either and just leave them be.

Yeah, I don't judge things I am unable to understand completely. I grew up in California and there was a gay/lesbian club at the highschool I went to there. It was no big deal and I thought everybody thought the same until I moved to Missouri. I don't really get all the genders and such but I don't care, it was just surprising for me because his dad didn't tell me about it until I saw the situation in person lol.

What people need to stop being afraid is stupid stuff like it's contagious or that somebody is going to assault them into being one of them. Is it because dude has 6 sons and one daughter and I'm sure that daughter was treated specially? So his youngest seeing that wanted to be a daughter also? Or was he always a girl inside and is more comfortable now?

Hell if I know! All I know is that is not a decision any guy makes on a whim. You gotta feel pretty damn strong about something to chop it off, that's proof enough for me!

I'm just glad that as a society the conversation is at least starting. Using a public restroom sucks no matter who is in the stall next to you. I do find it amusing that I live in an open carry state and people are worried about who is in the restroom! Strap a gun on your hip and you will go to the bathroom in peace I guarantee it!

I don't care if someone is transgender. This is America; do and be what you want. I do, however, care about making transgender a political issue in an attempt to sway an election, and I care about attempts to pass a law requiring 150 million women and girls to share a bathroom with p**is equipped people who total less than one percent of the population. They're already using the bathrooms of their choice. We have more important issues to address.

All politics are a show designed to keep us arguing over this shit so we don't have time to wonder wtf our government is doing. This is just one of many issues that can divide people, and they let themselves be divided by it constantly.
Nobody seems able to discuss an issue without getting all emotional which makes it extremely difficult to be rational or logical.

Until the people on both sides of politics realize they should trust each other more than the leader of their parties nothing will ever change. We have all the power only we let ourselves be manipulated into fighting each other. While our politicians all go out for drinks together and laugh about how easy it was to take that power away from us. They give us some issue and we fight about it, hating each other instead of working together to fix things.

The only thing we have to fear is, the people who are telling us we should be afraid...

Exactly. These politicians eat at the same table, I always tell people. In the meantime, the serfs squabble away on social media and the occasional march while being marched off into their drone domes.

I had a cousin who came out of the closet only to end up on the street. Was ok, the extended family said, because he was adopted, not really part of the family. We were close, and when I was younger my folks told me he was adopted because some neighbor kid told him and upset him terribly, so if I heard it, no problems, he's still my cousin.

Last saw him when I was 14, and in later years when he did find a home (with his biological mother and a brother), and after when he was dying in a hospital, I still wasn't allowed to contact him (he took her surname, so I couldn't even look him up). Like they thought I would transform into one upon seeing him again.
Burned me up for years, if only I tried harder to find him. The thought of him wondering why I didn't visit when he was ill...

THOSE are the people who are sick, our family. Not some 13 year old thrown out to disappear, to die alone. People trying to pretend it's a lifestyle choice, a fad of some sort. They're the problem, not someone whose turmoil inside is matched only by the hate from outside.

It's not often somebody says something as well as you just did on here. People are so afraid of what they don't understand. So afraid in fact they fear simply learning about it. I'll never understand anybody who learns something when they are younger. Then at one point decide they are done and hate any new thoughts people may provoke.

An open mind knows no fear, it's willing to understand another perspective and even learn from it. Unfortunately closed minded people hate anything different than what they already believe. It's a sad existence really, I hope I keep learning new things until the day I die..

Thanks, but my words seem pretty muddled and whiny to me, and way overwrought minus any real substance, haha.

I came up in a generation where we thought we were open minded by saying, "Hate the sin, love the sinner." It's amazing how asinine that now seems, and where we are today.

Didn't come off that way to me. Those of us with knowledge of self are always our own worst critics.

It's refreshing to converse with another person who isn't afraid to write something longer than a text message. I've loved words and making them dance in rhythm with what I am trying to express as long as I can remember.

It's nice to get replies from anybody that is capable of using them like they should be. Being able to express how you feel with words has been mostly replaced by emoji's these days. Sometimes the only reason I ramble on so much is so that these kids have to read something longer than a text with proper grammar in it hehe ;)

To be fair, how many people are forcing you to let you worry about their chosen gender bathroom?

I suppose that depends upon how involved you are or want to be in politics. If this isn't an issue in you community, I don't imagine that you really care.

Maybe you should try to focus on your real problems and not this other stuff that doesn't concern you anyway... just a thought.

Yeah, after the nukes are launched nobody is gonna care who they are shitting themselves next to! They are going to be busy looking for nuke free safe zones! Kim Jong has taken so long to make missiles only because he can't figure out how to defeat our signs that say safe zone yet!!

[Scratches head...] Do people understand that the meme is about having more important things than trangender bathroom issues to think about?

I have no idea what others understand man lol. You mentioned one of those "key" issues people get fired up about. Unfortunately some are so lost in the plethora of BS our politicians serve up they can't think for themselves. They see a key issue and go into a programmed reiteration of whatever their sides news told them they should think about it.

They have always used the bathroom of their choice, and I haven't interfered. There is no need for a law about it, and no need to discuss it really. Let's talk about ways to reduce the national debt. It's a drag on our economy and a threat to national security.

Sorry! The national debt is a threat to national security. When the US economy is strong, the country is more secure.
