The Manifold Dangers of Pretending to Be the Opposite Sex
American Thinker ^ | 10/01/2021 | Janet Levy

In 2015, during the Obama administration, the Supreme Court ruled that the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment requires states to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. This decision — which made the final pronouncement on the first major battle about gender confusion — rendered meaningless the distinction between men and women. It was no longer necessary for a married couple to comprise a male and a female. In a marriage, there could now be two husbands or two wives.

The weekend prior to this ruling, Bruce Jenner, a former decathlete who won gold in the 1976 Olympics, came out as transgender and won an award for "courage" for doing so. Thus began the linking of sexual orientation and gender identity that cemented the transformation of LGB to LGBT. In the following years, Hollywood and the media sought to mainstream transgenderism by highlighting it in TV shows, movies, and articles.

Meanwhile, the Obama administration began pushing legal mandates that characterized gender identification — whether in education, health care, housing, or the military — as a civil rights issue. An individual's "gender identification," not biological sex, would be the criterion for determining admittance to public schools, sports teams, washrooms, locker rooms, showers, dorms, and the like.

The dogmatism and irrational haste surrounding so-called "anti-discriminatory" gender policies and the notion of "gender fluidity" have made it nearly impossible to voice alternative views.

This not only is unhealthy for society but deprives the gender dysphoric — that is, people who are uncomfortable with their sex — of balanced counseling and a reasonable amount of time to arrive at how they want to be identified and whether they want so-called "sex change" surgery. As a matter of course, counselors driven by the false narrative of "trapped in the wrong body"

Discrimination against insanity and perversion is actually a good thing.

Such licensing allows others to more easily identify the mentally ill.

Just making homosexual acts illegal, even if poorly enforced, would help protect us from them and their champions from running amuck in society.

Ask: Tell rocked.

When the underlining mental issues are not addressed changing ones sex will only add to their state of mind once the novelty wears off...and it always does.

Waiting for Bruce Jenner to tank along the way.....he’s running out of ‘newness’ and Press.

I think Jenner dodged an involuntary manslaughter charge by ‘coming out’ as transgender. and if he changes his mind it will be re-instated.

The, plus $5 million.

For $5 million I’d put on a dress and say “Call me Caitlin”

PS- are they saying ‘Bruce’ is a male name and ‘Caitlin’ is a female name?

So a name can have a gender but a person can not?

I will vote for the party that knows whether they are male or female. Actually the liberal party seems pretty Marxist...they don’t even seem to care about the U. S. Constitution and those laws....my vote will always go for Freedom and Liberty...something the Dems have lost sight of as they embrase Marxism.

An example of the dark side to this is my new son in law.

While on probation for a conviction of sexual battery on a minor child he started transitioning to a “woman”. He also filed an appeal against his conviction with the courts. When his appeal was actually heard the woman judge downgraded his charge from violent sexual offender to nonviolent sexual offender.

This opened the floodgates for him. He now has access to young children and his sexual offender registry requirement is limited to ten years (Indiana).

He married my daughter, who calls him her “wife” and now lives under the same roof as my two teen granddaughters.

Although my daughter shares the responsibility for my granddaughter’s situation, this transgender PC crap affects all of us and is not limited to the trans alone.

From birth to death, XX (female) will always be XX and XY (male) will always be male.

God is not pleased when we screw around with His decisions. All the hormones and surgical disfigurement in the world cannot change The Lord’s decision.

When I grew up, we were ‘bullied’ into being straight. Can’t say it was a bad thing...

Many of the great comedians of the past used the man in woman’s clothing skit to get laughs. Fatty Arbuckle, Buster Keton, James Cagney, Cary Grant, Red Skelton, Milton Berle...
Others used skits of men wanting to become women (Life of Brian)such as when Stan wants to become a woman named Loretta and have babies.

Now you don’t dare laugh when you see Biden’s appointment, Richard (Rachel) Levine. I got 30 days in FB jail for screaming “EYE BLEACH! EYE BLEACH! What has been seen cannot be UNSEEN!”

No wonder Biden is the laughing stock of the world!
