Change My Mind

Exactly, two genders. French and non-french.

No they are - non-french and dead

Finally, some sanity. I respect Transgender and it is their decision, but they're living a lie. It makes me so sad to see them.

Hi, I'm a cis woman

This is the opposite of respect 🥀

Real, people should can it.

Respect them not their decision.

You're living a lie.

Dude stawp baitingggg

sorry lol

living a lie???
sad to see them?????
and you're saying you respect them??

Hey look, I'm sorry, but it's time to get used to the fact that there are people who disagree with you on a deep level, and that those people can still respect you. People with contrasting worldviews can coexist respectfully. They may not make the best of friends, but they can be respectful without agreeing.

So let me get this straight:
You can beat us up an call us stupid, harassing and discriminating against us as you please...
But the moment we fight back, WE'RE the bad guys???

The way I see it, LGBTQ+ people are no trouble UNLESS they are up in your face or demanding something unreasonable. But I get mad at anyone up in my face or demanding something unfair. They're people, like us, and we don't understand them, but that doesn't make them bad.

Thank you.

Ah yes, I see. If you're concerned about this, please see: Liberal. Libs often over protect us, often fighting back at things they think we find offensive, but are in reality completely harmless. They'll associate themselves so much that they think they belong in the community, and will say they are so when they really aren't. If your mad, be mad at the libs.

Being a republican, yeah, glad you see it that way. I am sorry that some of the LGBTQ+ community (and the libs) have given the rest a bad name, and I am sorry there are idiots who tease you. You go, (insert prefered pronoun here).

You have to realize that there are people out there who don't want to make you SUFFER just for disagreeing with them. Believe it or not, most people who disagree with your worldview (including me) are like that, and don't want any of their peers to suffer. If they turn a blind eye while you're being bullied, it's because they're afraid of the bullies, not because they want you to be bullied.

Okay, but you do understand that JesusWarriorGirl basically said that she ""supports"" them, but then proceeds to say the most horribly downright awful thing ever?

JesusWarriorGirl said you're living a lie. And I'm afraid that people everywhere, right, left, and center, all over the place, live lies all the time; it's just a fact of life. Furthermore, there are people everywhere, right left and center, who believe that their peers are living lies when that may or may not be the case. Pick any two people with very different religious beliefs, for example. If you ask them, and they're perfectly frank and honest, the truth is that they each believe that the other is living a lie. Similarly, any believer in God would have to admit they believe atheists are living a lie, and honest atheists would have to admit they believe God-worshipers are living a lie. So what do we do? I think as a society we have to admit that though it's better to live the truth than to live a lie, there will still be all kinds of people everywhere living lies. But we should still exchange ideas with the hope of getting to the truth. And that's why, I'm afraid I can't say that JesusWarriorGirl's comment was inherently offensive, or awful, just blunt.

If you'd like to share your perspective on why you disagree so strongly with her, I'm all ears. (I wouldn't be surprised if JesusWarriorGirl was also willing to listen.) If we do have a discussion though, I'd rather do it in a more private chat, far from any potential trolls.

did The_Chosen_Memer say anyone could beat you, call you stupid, harrass, and discriminate against you? no. there are some people that do that. but not everyone who disagrees with you is going to attack you. JesusWarriorGirl said nothing rude or offensive. she said she respects the decisions of those who choose to change their gender, but she disagrees with it. is she not allowed to feel sad because she sees trans people and thinks they're making poor choices? she's being incredibly humane and sympathetic, which many libs complain that republicans lack. if you don't want her sympathy, ignore it.

I saw what you deleted. Did you take it back, or are you making a new argument?

Also, as for that, I accidentally pressed "Post comment" before I was done writing.

Many transgender people will downvote this, let me warn you.

no offense, we dont
