The only point I was trying to make is that there are lots of "experts" out there, and lots of bad information.  Which is why you really do need to try and gather as many facts as you can before you decide. 
I guess it was random chance that you took a left turn at Transgendered Albuquerque......ffs

Eh. I kinda take the Thomas Jefferson approach on this one. To paraphrase: "It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are 57 genders or 2 genders. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg."

I know what gender I am. I really don't care what genders most of the rest of humanity are or claim to be. 

If Samuel is serious enough about his gender dysphoria to undergo transition, HRT, dress like a woman and tell me to call her Samantha, I'm gonna be respectful and call her Samantha. Only a jerk would argue with her.

I agree 100%

We veer onto many topics on this board.  All over the place frankly.  Don't know why you got so knotted up about it.  

For the record I'm not anti-gay or anti-transgender.  I say live and let live, just don't try to indoctrinate me or mine with your beliefs.  I believe gay people should have the right to marry (they should be as miserable as the rest of us!), and live their best version of their lives as they see fit.  I think if they (adults) want to voluntarily change their body, go for it, I could care less.

If people are "out there" trying to indoctrinate you and yours, then isn't it on you if you're allowing yourself to be exposed to their message??
This is truly bizarre.

I believe, for the most part, that the current culture wars are HIGHLY exaggerated, for political reasons.  It creates the "us v them" mentality that fills coffers of political candidates.  How often do teachers really try and "teach" gayosity to 7 year olds?  I imagine it happens here and there, but is it pervasive?  I doubt it.  How often do "drag queens" prey on children?  Again, I bet it happens, but is rare, not a broad problem.  But politicians can stir this up into more than a molehill.

On climate change, we're spending $37 billion a year now per that last bill.  I mean, sure, I think we could use it more beneficially as for CC it's irrelevant, optics, for show.  Maybe we could use it to improve schools on Indian reservations.  If you have cancer and are gonna die in a year, taking pills that cost a million bucks to maybe let you die a day later is silly.

All this burfle about Disney?  OK, don't go to Disney.  Bud Light?  I stopped drinking it (long long ago).  Nike?  Whatever.  I am better mentally I think mostly ignoring culture wars.

I will say about climate change that I disregard ANYONE who claims either "side" is entirely absolutely correct in every instance.  And any politicians who claim "the science ..." blah blah blah.  As well as anyone who claims it's impossible humans are altering our climate.

This is truly bizarre.
Is your head that far up your ass-teacher?

How many, DAILY examples can you ignore before you admit that teachers, and legislators are exposing young children to these concepts, Against the overwhelming objection of the majority of parents. Laws are being passed or contemplated to bring minors into states to mutilate them if the are currently in a state that requires parental consent.
Laws are being passed or contemplated to punish parents who won’t “ affirm “ their CHILD’S gender identity.
You’re a piece of work.  “ live and let live”. But what you’re really saying is, live and let others dictate how you live- and don’t complain or question. 

I have never seen or met anyone with your level of hypocrisy and unimaginable lack of self awareness.  It is mind boggling.
you are criticizing GIGEM for making a point By bringing up a polarizing topic?
Nobody does that as often as you do. 
Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.
-Mark Twain
