I mocked no one. I have legitimate questions, and try to get answers. In my 67+ years there have been many changes and if I don't understand, I ask openly. Communication works best with honest dialogue, when you insult someone, give and take disappears.

Good God, this forum is insane.
You can not agree to support someone else's mental illness AND not be a jerk.

The two concepts are not incompatible.

And you're right, this forum is insane as people somehow think if someone does not agree with you , then that person is automatically a jerk. /shrug/

Everyone you know must be a jerk then, since you will not find 1 person on this earth that agrees 100% with everything you think and do.

I hear what you are saying.

The problem is there is no room for asking any questions or having a differing opinion. If you do, you are automatically call names (jerk, insensitive, bigot, homophobe, etc.). Even if you behave in a civil manner to all you meet. That actually *doesn't matter.* You have to support mental illness.

Your sarcasm detector needs an adjustment.


Amen to that.
Ever? How does that work?

Are you OK with people who beat their kids? Murder others? Throw litter out of cars? Maybe no kids should ever be told not to do stuff since that's "judgment"?

Don't judge? That means any behavior anyone does at any time to anyone else is 100% A-OK. It's alllll goooood right?

No, it's not.

What people have failed to realize is that the "mind your own business" goes 2 ways.

Don't indoctrinate 5 year olds with transgenderism. Don't dictate to me what words I can use or not use. Don't claim biology does not exist.

Mind your own business. Indeed. Leave ME alone.

And there are people born with 12 fingers. Doesn't mean it is *normal."

You can find an example of any behavior and say, they did it 14,000 years ago!!!!!!!!!

Again: Does not mean it's normal.

I didn't call you a jerk, and I certainly didn't call you a jerk for disagreeing.

You might want to re-read the post...

All you armchair shrinks need help and should educate yourselves before denouncing something as a mental issue that can be fixed.

People like you are the reason transfolks are attacked and killed or kill themselves.

If you can't be nice...can't be compassionate, which you've made clear, can you at least try really hard not to be cruel? Is that just asking too much of you as human beings?

Yeah, I'll take the word of a psychiatrist (who went to medical school) before some random internet poster
