Stay off line for a few years, and think about what a fool you are. Come back when you get your head out of your butt
Larry Brinkin, the great San Francisco homosexual pedophile busted the other day, led the campaign for same sex marriage for years -- then never got married. Few homosexuals do and once they do their "marriages" crash and burn within a year or two.

But the real problem with same sex marriage is it gives a sex cult minority status and this is a problem because of the dramatic changes the LGBT quickly tries to bring about.

Transgender men should no more be a role model for children than heroin addicts.

Why are you so certain transgender school teachers won't encourage school children to grow up transgender?

Where's your scientific research on that -- and telling me I don't have scientific research showing it doesn't, is not a valid answer -- unless you concede you're using kids a guinea pigs.

WTF is wrong with you? Do you have any idea how long it take to get a doctor to agree on doing the surgery? Its not like getting a vasectomy dumbass.

Sex reassignment surgery can be difficult to obtain, due to a combination of financial barriers and lack of providers. An increasing number of surgeons are now training to perform such surgeries. In many regions, an individual's pursuit of SRS is often governed, or at least guided, by documents called Standards of Care for the Health of Transsexual, Transgender, and Gender Nonconforming People (SOC). The most widespread SOC in this field is published and frequently revised by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH, formerly the Harry Benjamin International Gender Dysphoria Association or HBIGDA). Many jurisdictions and medical boards in the United States and other countries recognize the WPATH Standards of Care for the treatment of transsexualism. For many individuals, these may require a minimum duration of psychological evaluation and living as a member of the target gender full time, sometimes called the real life experience (RLE)(sometimes mistakenly referred to as the real life test (RLT)) before genital reconstruction or other sex reassignment surgeries are permitted.

Standards of Care usually give certain very specific "minimum" requirements as guidelines for progressing with treatment for transsexualism, including accessing cross-gender hormone replacement or many surgical interventions. For this and many other reasons, both the WPATH-SOC and other SOCs are highly controversial and often maligned documents among transgender patients seeking surgery. Alternative local standards of care exist, such as in the Netherlands, Germany, and Italy. Much of the criticism surrounding the WPATH/HBIGDA-SOC applies to these as well, and some of these SOCs (mostly European SOC) are actually based on much older versions of the WPATH-SOC. Other SOCs are entirely independent of the WPATH. The criteria of many of those SOCs are stricter than the latest revision of the WPATH-SOC. Many qualified surgeons in North America and many in Europe adhere almost unswervingly to the WPATH-SOC or other SOCs. However, in the United States many experienced surgeons are able to apply the WPATH SOC in ways which respond to an individual's medical circumstances, as is consistent with the SOC.

I didn't read all of the blather you posted above and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

"Gender reassignment" as you call it, is yet another disaster the LGBT promotes as normal. Nine out of ten people who get the procedure are twice as miserable and in time all of them wish they hadn't.

This should come as no surprise. Homosexuality is a mental abnormality so every thing you people torch turns to shit.

The problem, of course, is lunatics like you are in the schools telling children men who get gender reassignment surgery are unbelievable happy with themselves.

You tell us kids accept transgender teachers but don't grasp why that's not good. The reason why you don't grasp why that isn't good is because you people never consider anything but your own selfish interests, children and the rest of the world be damned.

Larry Brinkin is a good example of this.

Brinkin's thing was sex with infants. Brinkin was a very sick man -- were he a man of integrity he'd have killed himself, but instead he brings an innocent little boy into his hellish world by adopting him.

Well, such is the homosexual mind, Clyde whether you wish to admit it or not. Such is the kind of sick mind you want to expose our children to.

Men who wear dresses, seek gender reassignment, or any of the grotesque behaviors you tell us are "normal," are men who need therapy or institutional confinement not the right to adopt children.

Children should not used as guinea pigs in your Frankenstein experiments, Clyde.

That's all.

Do you have some OFFICIAL stats or source that will back up your claim? Probably not, but still feel like you know more about the folks who have had the gender reassignment surgery than they do.

This is not the topic of this thread and is totally irrelevant as well.

You do know that there is a difference between transsexuals and transgender, right?

You ask idiotic questions, then when you get the answers...you revert back to attack and rhetoric mode.......you don't care what others think.......you only care about what you believe and think......sorry, but your opinions only matter to you!!!

Wait a minute -- you're the one going into the schools telling children gender reassignment is safe, normal, and as wholesome as mom's apple pie.

Don't you think YOU should have some stats backing THAT up?

Really is that all you homophobes think of is sex? Your pathetic little lives revolve around sex. The rest of the world works, plays, and enjoys life, whilst you and Proffesor Poof worry about others sex lives and how they are doing it. Grow up and stop thining with your weiner.

Sorry, but I PERSONALLY am not doing any such thing.....but I do know folks who have gone through the gender reassignment surgery and it is a long process.....not just a year, but several years and it's more like a life journey for them.

I'm not the one making the OUTRAGEOUS lies or fallacies.....that would be YOU!!!

WTF is wrong with you. All day all night you think of really stupid azz shiet to post. What does it matter to you if a man has an operation and becomes a woman. NO one is making you do it are they? They can be teachers, cops, butchers, airline pilots or frigging nuclear physicists for that matter. A persons sex should not matter in the performance of a job if they are frigging qualified to do it. Get your head out of your azz Gary. Better yet why don't you just come clean about who you are, a bible thumping homophobic man of the cloth, a pastor. Just come clean and admit you hate LGBT people because you think that god hates them. Spare us all your daily diatribe on HIV, anal sex, and gay pride parades.

That says it all, no need to go on. You read one or two words in a reply and you spout off. No ammo in your gun just an empty chamber. Every stinking day we provide you with the information to help educate you. Yet day after day you refuse to read and hopefully learn something. Go back to the Sunday pulpit and preach it to your lemmings. You got nothing more than homophobic rhetoric to spread. I am sure that your pews full of your close minded sheeple will follow you off the cliff.

The libtards don't get this. All people are to be treated the same 'under the law'. Marriage as described by 'law' is between a man and a woman, not a man and man , woman and woman, goat and pig etc.
Homosexuality has nothing to do with love, rights, acceptance, feelings etc. As it's definition, homosexuality includes only people ( or other animals I guess) that prefer to have SEX with others of the same gender. That is it, and that is all.
The number of people who support any extra gay rights is growing because of people losing their moral dignity. A parent that understands sexual deviation now has the choice to either 'give in' to their son Tommy's gay lifestyle or have him threaten to disown them. People are being blackmailed into showing false support for disfunctional sexuality. They do not really support queerness, otherwise Daddy would be french kissing and ass slapping Uncle George when they meet. Accomodating and supporting homosexuality are two completely different things. If Yo Daddy does kiss Uncle George that way then you'll know he really supports you.

Where did I say that? Please do post a link to my quote.

You still don't understand the difference between a crossdresser and transgender do ya.

Why do some people think crossdressers are homosexuals?

Answer:


Every culture has behaviors it considers "masculine" or "feminine." When people behave in ways typical of the opposite sex -- like wearing women's clothing -- uninformed people may assume they are homosexuals. But in fact, most homosexuals don't cross-dress, and a number of straight people enjoy cross-dressing. You should feel free to explain this to anyone who doesn't know about it.

Why do people automatically assume crossdressing means homosexuality?

I'm re-asking this question because the first time I left out an important detail that I think influences the answers.

I'm a male who crossdresses, I am attracted to women. I do not dress to appear as a woman, I dress as a guy, who happens to like wearing things like skirts and tights and such, and occasionally some eye makeup. Based on the way I dress people often assume I'm gay, which usually doesn't bother me, there's nothing wrong with being gay, but it does bother me specifically when it comes to dating women, because obviously I don't want potential female partners to think I'm gay.

Now, I have posted questions on here and other sites regarding my crossdressing and how it relates to my dating life, and often people will respond with things like "Oh just admit you're gay" or "are you sure you're not gay?" And I know a lot of it is ignorance, but still, why do people think that clothing preferences mean anything about someone's sexuality?

Furthermore, doesn't it seem backwards that a guy would dress in women's clothing for the specific purpose of trying to attract a man? Gay men are looking for men after all. Not saying a gay guy wouldn't date a crossdresser, just that it doesn't seem like something one would do specifically to pick up gay guys.

This is probably the granddaddy of all crossdresser myths: crossdressers are gay. More often than not, it’s the first question asked of a crossdresser after coming out to (or being outed by) a non-crossdresser –“Are you gay?” It does get tiresome after a while. Myth: Crossdressers are gay because they dress in women’s clothes. Fact: Most crossdressers are straight, but some of them are gay. Ever wonder where this myth came from in the first place? I’ll explore that later in this article.

Oh, EXCUUUUUUUUSE ME ...

So you don't want cross-dressers to be able to adopt because they're straight -- not homosexual.

You want transgenders to be able to adopt because they're homosexual -- not straight.

Did I get it right this time, genius?

Someone is being very informative and helpful, especially if you want them to explain something that you don't understand, so listen carefully to what they tell you. This is also a great day for making some travel plans, perhaps by arranging to visit a friend you haven't seen in a while or by discussing where you should take your next holiday.
