Transgenderism Can Be Helpful
Townhall.com ^ | September 28, 2016 | Walter E. Williams

Posted on 09/28/2016 5:40:59 AM PDT by Kaslin

North Carolina's legislative body passed the Public Facilities Privacy and Security Act, which mandates a statewide policy banning individuals from using public bathrooms that do not correspond to their biological sex, as opposed to their opinion of their sex. That means people must use bathrooms and other public facilities where occupants can be in various stages of undress according to whether their sex chromosomes are XX, in the case of females, or XY, in the case of males. The lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community claims that the use of biology to determine sex is oppressive and limits alternatives. I agree. I all but argued this in a column earlier this year titled "You Are What You Say You Are." Let's look at some possible benefits of freeing oneself from the oppression of biological determinism.

Say that I am sentenced to a five-year prison term for bank fraud. Though confinement can never be pleasant, I'd find it far more tolerable if I could convince the judge that though biologically I have XY chromosomes, in my opinion I'm really a woman and thus my confinement should be in a female prison with a female cellmate. For the court to fail to take my sexual opinion into consideration would violate our Constitution's Eighth Amendment prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment, I could say.

The Atlantic Coast Conference, the entire NCAA and the NBA have threatened to remove important games and championships from North Carolina because of its law denying bathroom rights to males who feel as if they are females and females who feel as if they're males. I am wondering just how consistent they are. Only a few college basketball players have the skills to make it onto a professional team, but most of these players have skills that exceed most players' skills in the Women's National Basketball Association. What if a college basketball star were to claim to be transgender and go out for the WNBA? Would the self-righteous NBA leaders come out and support him if he were to be refused? Aside from this gender question is the gross pay discrimination between the NBA and the WNBA. NBA players such as LeBron James (nearly $23 million) and Carmelo Anthony (also close to $23 million) individually earn twice as much money annually than every single player in the WNBA combined. The WNBA minimum rookie salary is $37,950, and the top salary is $107,000. I bet that if the NBA and WNBA were to permit transgenderism, salaries in women's basketball would rise dramatically.

It's not just basketball that would yield benefits for those with XY chromosomes. What about allowing transgender XY people to box women in the WIBA? Then there are the Olympics. The men's fastest 100-meter speed is 9.58 seconds. The women's record is 10.49. What about giving XY people a greater chance at winning the gold by permitting them to compete in the women's event? They could qualify by just swearing that they feel womanish or have gender dysphoria.

President Barack Obama's defense secretary, Ashton Carter, wants to promote sex equality in the nation's military. I don't think he's serious. The minimum fitness test requirement for 17- to 21-year-old males is to be able to do 35 pushups, 47 situps and a 2-mile run in 16 minutes, 36 seconds or less. A weak male soldier might simply claim that he feels feminine. That would mean he could pass the minimum fitness requirement by meeting the female minimums of 13 pushups, 47 situps and a 19:42 2-mile run. To boot, he would get to reside in the women's barracks and enjoy all the privileges attendant thereto.

For most of history, homosexuals were unfairly persecuted. They pleaded, "Get out of my bedroom. What consenting adults do is no one else's business." I share that sentiment, and for the most part, homosexuals have won that objective. Had their early campaign against persecution included a demand that males be permitted to use women's bathrooms, the persecution they suffered would have continued.

This is what is come to in the USA: We no longer know which bathroom to use because our current physical gender we were born with may be oppressive to us and so in order to make us feel better we must oppress others by undressing in front of them in public bathrooms to ease our own oppressions. Did I get that correct?

democrats. Good Lord, they are nuts

Homosexuals weren’t just in their bedrooms having sex, they were in park and bus stop restrooms engaging in anonymous sex (sometimes for drugs or money). The bedroom police myth was a lie as was the “prohibition” on gay bars. Stonewall was a mob run speakeasy.

It all goes back to the failed ideologies of the far left of the 60s and 70s. Smash the patriarchy, smash monogamy.

There were such academic sex cults that got exposed in Germany and “liberal” California in the 70s.

The goal is to “end all moral judgments” regarding sexual relations and pairings of any kind. They’ve come for your children (to indoctrinate and molest) and they seek to rob you blind (with a socialist governance). That is the sex positive agenda. Ayers and NOW were part of it. Partner swapping (even same sex pairings), break down inhibitions, break down morality, join the far left death cult in destroying Western civilization.

societies and empires have fallen as a result of such behaviors in the past. Its insanity to keep revisiting actions that didn’t work before trying to get a different result. Right now we are teetering on the edge with a war with Russia. And the press and WH seem to be treating this as a nothing issue. The WH has interfered so badly in Syria that it may have passed the point of no return. Russia is not the one at fault in Syria, the US is the one at fault. And all the press coverups and lies are not going to change a thing. The Democrats have wanted this war with Russia for years and they will not give up. Republicans on the other hand are afraid to confront Russia and try to find a solution. Reagan came the closest at finding a solution, Hillary and Obama destroyed all that work and reignited the cold war. At stake are thousands of nukes and millions of lives. And we have a Democrat candidate that has already proven she would go to war over the most illogical issue ever. Hillary loves the use or terrorism, so imagine her hiring thousands of Islamic terrorists to destroy Russia. Either Russia nukes us or the terrorists gain control of Russia’s nukes and nuke us. Either way, its a disaster for the world. And it all goes back to this, the moral destruction of our own country through eliminating protective barriers and breaking down the established culture of responsibility

60% crazy. 40% evil. Or maybe 40% crazy and 60% evil. Or maybe it's 50/50. Anyway, these are definitely not people who should have the right to vote, drive cars, reproduce, breathe....

Maybe it’ll get the queers and other assorted wierdos to move to more fag-friendly states, thus improving the quality of life in NC.

Let’s look at some possible benefits of freeing oneself from the oppression of biological determinism.

Why limit this to gender?

What if I think I’m black or hispanic? I should be entitled to affirmative action admissions, promotions, and set-aside contracts.

What if I think I’m a child? I should be entitled to attend my neighborhood elementary school.

What if I think I’m an elephant? Would I be a protected species? Would I have to pay taxes?

“...which mandates a statewide policy banning individuals from using public bathrooms that do not correspond to their biological sex, as opposed to their opinion of their sex.”

It mandates it for publically owned facilities, not privately owned facilities open to the public to my understanding. Charlotte’s ordinance forced private businesses to let men use their women’s facilities. Under the NC state law private business owners like Target and Trump can still choose to let men use their women’s facilities on their properties if they want to in NC, or not.

Transgenderism Can Be Helpful

So can God's word on it:

A BIBLICAL Message to LGBT folks EVERYWHERE!



 
Genesis 13:13
Now the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD.

Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and
their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."

Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men
from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them
."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.


Leviticus niv

18:22 Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.

20:13 If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

 
 


Psalms 12:8 The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.

Doonesbury Cartoon for Feb/08/2013

Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.

2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.


Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.


Romans 1     New American Bible (Revised Edition) (NABRE)
 
 18 The wrath of God is indeed being revealed from heaven against every impiety and wickedness of those who suppress the truth by their wickedness. 19 For what can be known about God is evident to them, because God made it evident to them. 20 Ever since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes of eternal power and divinity have been able to be understood and perceived in what he has made. As a result, they have no excuse; 21 for although they knew God they did not accord him glory as God or give him thanks. Instead, they became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless minds were darkened. 22 While claiming to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for the likeness of an image of mortal man or of birds or of four-legged animals or of snakes.
 

24 Therefore, God handed them over to impurity through the lusts of their hearts for the mutual degradation of their bodies. 25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and revered and worshiped the creature rather than the creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 Therefore, God handed them over to degrading passions. Their females exchanged natural relations for unnatural, 27 and the males likewise gave up natural relations with females and burned with lust for one another. Males did shameful things with males and thus received in their own persons the due penalty for their perversity. 28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God handed them over to their undiscerning mind to do what is improper. 29 They are filled with every form of wickedness, evil, greed, and malice; full of envy, murder, rivalry, treachery, and spite. 


2 Peter 2

1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done.
Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.



But there IS hope!!!

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.


If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...
