Why A Lot of Americans Don't Want To Befriend a Transgender Person

Would you be friends with a transgender person? A full 27 percent of American adults on a recent YouGov survey said no. Even fewer—less than 20 percent—said they would be open to dating a transgender person.

The disappointing but unsurprising results reveal a sad truth about the transgender rights movement: Cultural acceptance has tended to lag behind formal recognition.

I am totally uncomfortable around people who pile Pretend onto Pretend

[arthurus]

The Leftist trash seek them out and laud them as heroic celebrities, the avant garde of their brave new world..

[arthurus]

20% of the selectively polled. They only polled transgender persons.

[arthurus]

For many it is not hard to surmise. Take First Lady” Michael, for instance. Can there be any mistake?

with whom he has at least one or more things in common with.

Thank you! I hate when I make stupid word usage mistakes!

"I don’t even want to be friends with, “normal” liberals!"

“normal” liberals," which planet of the universe have you visited, to find one?

[NFHale]

“...Not hard to figure out, unless your are an idiot liberal, of course....”

And there - right there - my friend, is the root of the problem....

EMphasis on “idiot liberal”.

The problem is, those idiot liberals are smart enough to get themselves into positions of law-making, authority, and power and force their idiocy on everyone else.

And until our side pushes back - hard - and makes the same level of effort and absolutley does not quit until we control the game, well... this will just go further down the toilet.

A discussion like this wouldn’t even be considered in a sane world.

Bingo.My normal friends have enough issues.

You and I are the only sane people left and sometimes I wonder about you friend.

How about the idiotic press talk to an EXPERT on the subject— the Professor Emeritus from Johns Hopkins, Paul McHugh, MD, PhD. “Transgenderism is a mental disorder. Changing one’s sex is an impossibility— you cannot change your genetics.”

Used to be— for a “sex change” it required years of psychoanalysis to correctly justify an individual’s clinical need for such surgery.

Even fewer—less than 20 percent—said they would be open to dating a transgender person.

I suspect (as someone has said above) the real number is probably close to 2% being honest, and the other 18% are virtue signalling.

Here's the thing. Dating leads to marriage, and marriage leads to children. Why would I waste my time on someone with zero reproductive potential? If you now have, ever had, or wish you had a penis, you're not my type. Ever.

[John S Mosby]

4% “intentionally” I doubt it:

“Well, I’m not the most physical guy, but when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine”.

“Well, I’m not dumb, but I can’t understand why she walked like a woman, but talked like a man”.

I have known a fellow since he was a 15 year old who looked like a dashing Spanish gentleman and all the girls in his high school vied for his attention. He was, of course, homosexual. He graduated, did a couple of years of college and went out to Homo Heaven (his name) in LA and embarked on a cliché career selling Men's Furnishings. Years later he came back to Clearwater where he now has an antique shop and says he is retired. He means retired from homosexual activity. He says he was getting mentally screwed up watching his friends die of horrible diseases and syndromes, not all of them attributable to AIDS, and decided it was time to retire from The Life. He never cared for "flamers" and drag queens. He has said, "I am a homosexual man. I am not a woman and don't want to be a woman." I know him primarily because I dated his Dutch cousin when she was staying with his family as an exchange student. And she's homosexual, too, but wasn't then or didn't know it then. She just retired as the curator of an art museum in a small town in Holland. She makes a lot of money doing shows and original ceramic things. I had no contact with her after 1963 until last year she found me on line.

Something?

[arthurus]

I prefer a short life sentence for particularly heinous murder.

[arthurus]

Theose guys call themselves “transgender lesbians.

[arthurus]

A fellow, Mark, I know in Gville- his wife suddenly left him and their three boys. She came back two years later as a “man” and demanded the boys call her “Daddy.” She is suing her ex husband for child support for the child she had in her belly when she left which baby obviously has a Negro father. Mark is a bit perplexed by it all.

There is an ad on radio here, a local garage door man who talks about being “in the environment in which we are living in.” Local guys on the radio and to some extent national radio seem to be required to have speech or language disabilities.

I can honestly say that most of the homosexual folks I have known are pretty normal hard working people, but I have never meant a trans gender who was not BSC (bat shit crazy).

When I was on active duty, the gate guards kept a list of the dudes in dresses so the could keep the drunk Marines from bringing them home. At the unveiling, pissed Marines can do a lot of damage. The dates do happen, wether both parties are aware is another matter.
