“At the time, we did not believe that we would find ourselves where we are today,” Hemminger continued. “The transgender movement has ceased focusing on adults at all — nearly all of their efforts and those of their aligned special interest groups focus on minors. They push schools to teach radical gender ideology; they want biological men in women’s sports regardless of the consequences; perhaps most offensively, they support gender reassignment treatments for minors, often without the knowledge or consent of the parents, knowing full well these treatments are mostly irreversible.”
a group whose website currently bills itself as an organization of conservative LGBT people “building a more inclusive GOP”
Inclusive, I guess, but not that inclusive! They’re still Republicans, after all…
It is stupid enough to vote Republican if you are gay, but then being traitorous against fellow victims of the conservative rage machine is really a human low point.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_German_National_Jews
The Association of German National Jews (German: Verband nationaldeutscher Juden, VnJ) was an assimilationist and nationalist German Jewish organization which was formed during the early years of the rule of the Weimar Republic and during the early years of the rule of Nazi Germany, that eventually came out in support of Adolf Hitler.
[…]
Despite the extreme nationalism of Naumann and his colleagues, the Nazi regime did not accept the Association of German National Jews as a legitimate intermediary. Following the passage of the Nuremberg Laws, the VnJ was declared illegal and dissolved on 18 November 1935. Naumann was arrested by the Gestapo the same day, and imprisoned at the Columbia concentration camp. He was released after a few weeks, and died of cancer in May 1939.[1] Most other members and their families were murdered in the Holocaust.[17]
A Republican is still a Republican. The log cabin does not matter. They will use you and anybody else to get what they want.
Gay or not, a moron is a fucking moron.

Trans gender isn’t even discussed in the Bible. I feel like they are inventing reasons not to support trans people.
I mean maybe. If God made mankind in their own image, “male and female” according to genesis, I presume God has all of said parts to be considered likeness.
Also mildly comical… If the Holy Spirit is the breath that breathes life into existence, I would have to say the egg may be the vessel, but sperm is the holy spirit in terms of likeness.
This is such a fun conversation. I’m a priest in the Episcopal Church and our denomination has been talking about this for many years now. One of my colleagues made a great counter to the whole “male and female” thing by noting that God also created light and dark and day and night and there’s a whole range of things that exist between those two dichotomies.
Also, there’s numerous trans readings regarding Jesus within the Bible itself! For instance, Saint Paul notes that Jesus “is the Wisdom of God.” Paul is drawing from the wisdom tradition, which depicts God’s wisdom as a woman. Further, Saint John’s gospel clearly draws from the book known as the Wisdom of Solomon (from the Apocrypha) for his preface, held by many Christians to be the most explicit biblical statement on Jesus’ divinity. Later, saints like Julian of Norwich and Anselm of Canterbury would write of Jesus being our Mother. So there’s a rich tradition which recognizes Jesus, a He/Him male, embodying long established and celebrated feminine aspects of God (it’s for this reason that I don’t usually go for swapping the gender of the Father or referring to the Holy Spirit as “She” because I feel like it winds up masking the more clear, and challenging, divine feminine things about Jesus found in the Bible itself). There’s definite trans/gender-queer things going on in these texts!
That’s fun to think through
This is one of those “inventing reasons” I’m talking about.
Fuck these guys
Unfuck these guys.
No dick for them, ever again.
