...look like child's play. The Daily Wire might as well be Der Stürmer when it comes to God, Guns, and (especially) Gays. That's especially ironic since it's run by an ultra-Likudnik named Ben Shapiro.

7. "Transgenderism"?
Sat Mar 4, 2023, 01:33 PM
Mar 2023

Transgender persons are persons, not a philosophy. National Socialism, on the other hand, is a philosophy that needs to be exterminated, torn out root and branch from human society, and its practitioners ostracized and opposed at every point.

“Transgenderism” paints being trans as an “ideology.” That removes the human element from it. In that way, they’re attacking an ideology, not a group of people.

They also come from a position of fake concern (“We need to save those who were sucked into the ideology of transgenderism”) because it gives pretext for mass genocide. They are the good guys, and they’re here to help!

Gender identity is complex in biology, affected by prenatal development, hormones, development of genitals, and other biological factors. It can also be influenced by social and psychological factors. So it is not ideological.

I am a heterosexual female (cis gender) who is not personally familar with all the transgender issues. I know a couple of trans people but not closely enough to discuss the issues with them.

But I remember some of what we were taught in biology regarding gender development and identity in utero and in developnemental psychology about sexual preference in partners being on a spectrum and not always either/or depending on both biology and social conditioning.

So it just seems logical to me that there are variations in identity and in attractions that are just part of life. Trying to deny or stamp out those variations is futile, then, and cruel in not accepting people as they are.

I don't know if right wingers realize that they share the same views on transgender issues as the Nazis. Pre-Nazi Germany was a very open society for LGBT people, including research into those areas. The concept of gender as a spectrum is as old as time, not some recent invention by "woke" people.

I feel so sad for my transgender friends, who are constantly attacked and made to feel unsafe.

No penis but her ovaries never got around to doing much either.

I do know she had a few medical interventions along the way to help her along
the way

The exact nature of these interventions i am not sure....Secrets told to my wife that she literally carried to the grave.

I wonder how she and her doctors would be treated today by the gop.
By society in general.

which some Talmudic scholars assign to Sarah, Abraham's wife. This article doesn't mention that specifically, but I came across it recently.

I have a classical education, so Tiresias always comes to my mind forst as an example of transgender in the ancient world. But of course native Americans, and other peoples, hhave recognised transgender for thousands of years, and I learned recently that includes Jewish people, so I've been looking around. I'm not a scholar myself.

that all humans begin biologically in utero as "female." Gender differentiation occurs as the embryo and fetus continue to grow. Genetic "instructions" trigger the differentiation not only in the genitals, but in the brain. Sometimes the instructions are not clear cut, resulting in physiological developments that are not clear cut. Sometimes they are clear in physical appearance but not in self perception in the brain.

We should release an ad buy next week shown nationwide with this dingus that says "Republicans are openly advocating for the mass genocide of trans people. You know who else did this? Hitler."

Gloves off time. Enough. It's time to go gloves off on these assholes.
