Here is the world according to the LGBT Left: Just as there are black and white, there are gay and straight. One’s sexual orientation, like one’s race, is fixed and immutable at birth. The process of “questioning” one’s orientation isn’t a process of deciding but of discovering.
Similarly, when it comes to gender identity, there is “cis” and there is “trans.” A cis person’s gender identity matches the sex they were “assigned” at birth. A trans person — well, a trans person is any one of the fifty-plus other genders on the entirely reputable Facebook spectrum.
This, you see, is science. Anyone who contradicts it — whether relying on ancient, discredited “holy” texts or outdated notions of morality — isn’t just ignorant, but bigoted. And when it comes to bigots, why draw minute moral distinctions? Is there really much difference between a Klan member and a Christian conservative?
Such reasoning has been the source of much of the LGBT movement’s political force. It’s the narrative that dominates the academy, pop culture, progressive corporate America, and, lately, the Supreme Court. Justice Anthony Kennedy referred to the LGBT population’s “immutable” nature in his opinion constitutionalizing same-sex marriage. To those who live in the real world, this narrative has always run counter to observed reality. Human sexuality is not so neatly and cleanly divided and determined. Circumstances and culture matter, as does morality. So it should come as no surprise that — upon closer scientific examination — the LGBT Left’s case collapses. Sexual orientation and gender identity are nothing like race.
Yesterday, The New Atlantis released a comprehensive “study of studies,” taking a look at the accumulated body of credible scientific research on LGBT issues.

“I always wonder how this notion equates to bi-sexuals?”
As with other mental disorders, same-sex attraction disorder can be more severe or less in a given individual.
A person’s case can be severe enough that he has a compulsion to engage in loathsome perversions with other men, while remaining mild enough that he can, or even wants to, perform with women.
This is my opinion. Studies are many and varied in their outcome on the same subject.
I don’t, for instance buy those studies who think there is anthropomorphic global warming.
I’ve worked with these gay and transgender people.....and a close inlaw thinks he is a she.....no one else in that family are that way.....his brothers are normal straight guys as is his sister a straight woman. He claims he always wanted to be a woman as a child. He may be lying..... I don’t know.
Personally I think it can be both nature and nurture.
Some people are born schizophrenic, that doesn’t mean it’s not a disease that should be treated.
Lady Gaga is going to have to rewrite one of her songs.
In real science, these are real words, and they have a couple of different, but related, meanings. They can refer to a DNA element that acts on another DNA element within the same DNA molecule (cis-acting) or on a different DNA molecule (trans acting). Or they can refer to whether two side groups of a molecule are on the same side (cis) or on opposite sides (trans) of the molecule's core.
By now, enough people are gay and homosexuality is enough a part of the culture that it can be presented as a choice without much changing.
Who cares? They bare no relationship to English literature or language as ordinary people converse or read or write. Academics and feminists and their running dogs have used obscure scientific terms to twist and obscure reality and the beauty of the English language. I will continue to use the language of Shakespeare - no matter how ungainly - to attempt to put across my ideas. Cis be damned!
Gender is a grammatical term and bears no relationship to sex. You are born with a sex, not a gender. Don’t buy into this crap.
You’ll notice that they didn’t positively say “wickedness and seduction have nothing to do with it”. They said “STRAIGHTS NEED TO BE TAUGHT THAT”.
So they’re frank with each other about their motivations, they just want to lie to US about it so they can behave exactly as you said, along with any other assortment of perversions they love.
Upchuck, your FR name is exactly my reaction to all of this PC crap.
Thanks for the info, though. I think. :>)
Thanks.
I guess that using common or (previously) generally accepted words is just not permitted any more. Me, I’d use “normal” - the idea of using a pretty-much made up word for something speaks to how these people are mentally deranged. I will not accomodate their sickness.
