A Former Transgender Person’s Take on Obama’s Bathroom Directive
Daily Signal ^ | 5/16/16 | Walt Heyer

Posted on 05/20/2016 4:28:35 PM PDT by SoFloFreeper

....Obama, the titular head of the LGBT movement, has added to the firestorm of confusion...by threatening schools with loss of federal funding unless they allow students to join the sex-segregated restroom, locker room, and sports teams of their chosen gender, without regard to biological reality.

....As someone who underwent surgery from male to female and lived as a female for eight years before returning to living as a man, I know firsthand what it’s like to be a transgender person....

What has arisen is a new breed emerging among young people that falls outside the purview of the LGBT: the gender nonconformists.

Gender nonconformists, who constitute a miniscule fraction of society, want to be allowed to designate gender on a fluid basis, based on their feelings at the moment.

I call this group “gender defiant” because they protest against the definition of fixed gender identities of male and female. The gender defiant individuals are not like traditional transgender or transsexual persons who struggle with gender dysphoria and want hormone therapy, hormone blockers, and eventually, reassignment surgery. The gender defiant group doesn’t want to conform, comply, or identify with traditional gender norms of male and female. They want to have gender fluidity, flowing freely from one gender to another, by the hour or day, as they feel like it.

Under the cover of the LGBT, the anti-gender faction and its supporters are using the North Carolina bathroom bill to light a fuse to blow up factual gender definitions....

Using the power of his position to influence the elimination of gender, overruling science, genetics, and biblical beliefs, is Obama’s display of political power.

One fact will remain, no matter how deep in the tank Obama goes for the gender nonconformists, genetics and God’s design of male and female, no matter how repugnant that is to some, cannot be changed. Biological gender remains fixed no matter how many cross-gender hormones are taken or cosmetic surgeries are performed. No law can change the genetic and biblical truth of God’s design. Using financial blackmail to achieve the elimination of gender will become Obama’s ugly legacy.

What’s going on has nothing to do with gender or sex whatsoever.

You're 100 percent correct. This is about who gets to define "normal." This is about the power to define reality, or at least the law's version of it. It's about creating a government so powerful and so out of touch that it can, by fiat, create an entirely new reality in which men are women, women are men, up is down, and wrong is right.

It's about total nihilism.

Most of us see Orwell’s 1984 as a warning. The left sees it as a blueprint.

They also see “Idiocracy” as aspirational.

Congress undoubtedly knows that most voters don't understand the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers anymore.
I’ve been thinking . . . Democrats (in and out of the propaganda arm called “the media”) mystify the Constitution as if it were a long, impenetrable document rather than being, even with the first ten amendments, a matter of a relatively few pages.

IMHO Republicans should make a point of how accessible the Constitution actually is. And should try to embarrass journalists who insinuate that it is nothing but a bunch of technicalities.

“It is a mental illness to not accept what you see when you look in your underwear.”

Yes, its akin to anorexia, body dysphoria. Only those are not political agendas and are treated appropriately in a mental health setting.

"The only reason I can come up with for Obama’s actions is, after all these years, he and Michelle still have not yet decided what gender they want to be.".

A couple of weeks ago the *sshole announced that we are a gender fluid society. No, Barry, that is not who we are. Why don't you go F yourself.

He has apparently battled with gender confusion and has figured out that there is indeed a difference between men and women....and they are significant.

Probably lots of therapy sessions - most are mentally ill well beyond the "sexual orientation crisis" and a huge number have also been terribly abused as children - to cater to them is to feed the sickness.
