I am gay and I still think being transgender is a choice. Sexual attraction is not, what you wear is definitly what you choose to wear. There is nothing wrong with it though, I just hate that people act like it's the same.

Simply "being" transgender is not a choice. Choosing to outwardly reflect that gender (i.e. "what you wear") is, just like being gay isn't a choice but coming out of the closet is. 

It's not the "same" but logically they can be defended under the same umbrella.

I'm not really understanding what you think the difference is. If a male "feels female," how is that exactly a choice while sexual attraction isn't?

I don't think they are.

Con man Evangelical pastors have ricked Conservatives to be more against it than they should.

Conservatives resists change and is cautious of major change. So they would naturally be cautious of laws and actions that dramatically change LGBT rights.

But since con man southern and Midwestern and foreign religious leaders have stressed the issue and provided crap arguments that galvanized the LGBT movements

You don't decide the people you are attracted to. Even straight males don't decide their preferences when it comes to women. You don't decide your sex either, if someone is "attracted" to the way the other sex dress that makes them just one to dress like that, it doesn't make them female.(I have nothing against it, I just thing we should not act like it changes their genders)

Exactly. The only choice they have is whether they are going to try and live and present as themselves or "stay in the closet" and choose to live for society's comfort instead of their own.

Its mostly just the religious right but in general conservatives are fearful of change/thing different from them. Not all conservatives of course, but as a voting group the gop needs fear/an existential threat (lbgt, muslims, athiests) to keep their base on the same page and to convince people to vote against their self interests.
Stonedwolfed 2 months ago#22
The point of a conservative is they want what is or what is from the recent past, as gay rights are a new thing they are naturally resistive.

It's the job of a liberal to argue case for gay rights, something that can only happen with the free exchange of ideas and debate. 

And that's why the SJW left who run up behind people with weapons and hit them on the head, or at the milder end just screech and use the violence of the mob to de-platform, are so counterproductive if nothing else.

Historically, the party didn't enshrine the value of homophobia into the conservative ethos until the fall out of the civil rights act essentially drove southern voters from the Democratic party and into the arms of the Republican party who sweetened the deal with fundamental firebrands like Jerry Falwell. In a real way conservative homophobia has always been a calculated decision to exploit yet another minority for expedient political gain.

I can. Being gay doesn't automatically imbue you with all the right answers. We can be every bit as problematic as straight people when we set our minds to it. Even when you think we should know better.

It's a divide-and-rule tactic. Conservatism is about maintaining the power, wealth and privilege of the ruling class. The more divided the ruled classes are, the less of a threat they are. Therefore it's in the interest of the ruling class to deceive people into blaming LGBT people (among other groups) for their problems.

Conservatives were never forcefully against LGBT. They just found it icky.

It wasn't until Conservatives lost blacks that they decided to snatch up the racists and homophobes (who saw it as a chance for power).

T is the oddball and does not fit with LGB b.c it is jot a sexual orientation.

people should remain their gender. they are free to get surgery (on their own dime) but shouldn't be allowed to legally change their gender.

I mean is it?

If gender is supposedly a social construct, then how exactly, outside of choice, does one be trans?

Social constructs are things that are made by a society and are not set in stone. they are not inherant.
So for instance, someone may inherently attracted to other men. this isnt a social construct. its biologically what you are attracted to.
gender though...we create what each gender is "suppose to be". so in ssence, a trans is choosing one gender construct over another. 

plus, at what age doe someone actually understand gender identities? a child pretends to be a wolf, or a girl (if they are a boy). does that make them trans? my answer, no. children dont have that mental capacity. Yet parents today are forcing children into a Trans lifestyle. Obviously they wouldnt fight it after growing up either because thats the reality they learned.

Trans is a choice because you choose a social construct to abide by. how is it not a choice?

that goes for anyone not just lgbt. That goes into a quality school experience. it would be like saying you have the right not to get bullied. you dont. but you do have the right to speak up and do something about it.

Because back at the start of the gay rights movement the public zeitgeist and even most of the queer community didn't understand the difference between being trans and being bi/gay/lesbian. 

So when we look back at the riots that sparked the gay rights movement, the contributions of trans people are often invisible. In fact they've always been vocal allies of queer activism in America. A trans woman of color, Marsha P. Johnson is credited with having thrown the first stone of the Stonewall riots. Yet despite their continual sacrifice, they remain extremely vulnerable and rely on the signal boost of other queer allies to find their representation in policy making.

To go on a bit of a tangent, the documentary "Paris is Burning" was one of the first efforts to explore the voices of displaced and homeless LGBT youth of the seventies and the found family of the black gay culture's ballroom scene. For many straight people these was the first real perspectives of queer youth culture that they encountered that wasn't vilifying them. And there you also see the symbiotic relationship of the LGB and T communities. Paris is Burning is currently on Netflix by the way and I'd recommended it to anyone looking for a slice of often underreported queer history.

As a gay guy there is nothing wrong with being against changing your natural body through operations(I will never prevent someone who is doing ), but I feel like rejecting your natural sex is like taking a pill to change your sexual orientation. Nothing wrong with it, but I won't encourage it either especially due to the huge health issues that comes after the operations. Not to mention the high risk of side effects while taking hormones.

That's still doesn't make them the opposite gender, they are not women because they like wearing or acting the way society say women should act. Do they break gender ROLES? Yes, they do and they should live the way they want, but it still doesn't change their genders.

    "Gender dysphoria" is a term that reflects more accurately than gender identity disorder when an individual is distressed about a conflict between their sex assigned at birth and their gender identity/role. "Gender identity disorder" suggests that their gender identity is disordered, yet having any gender identity, including a transgender identity, is not a disorder. However, having any gender identity, including a transgender identity, is not a disorder. Rather, the distress that some transgender people may experience at some point in their lives may be of clinical concern and can be alleviated through clinical management. The change in the DSM from gender identity disorder to gender dysphoria was a way to depathologize having a gender identity that differs from one’s sex assigned at birth and recognize the concern and clinical care that transgender individuals may need to achieve comfort with their gender identity, their body and gender role.

    It's interesting that Gender Dysphoria is the only one of the Body Dysmorphic Disorders that is not a disorder. So if a man is mentally overwhelmed that his muscles are not big enough, it's both a dysmorphia and a disorder. If a woman is mentally overwhelmed he is too fat, it's both a dysphoria and a disorder. But if they are overwhelmed that their do not have the correct genitals - suddenly it's not a disorder.

    Is it the only Body Dysmorphic Disorder subcategory that's not a Disorder?

    I think it might be that they are reluctant to classify transgenderism as a mental illness. That sort of thing tends to piss people off. The same could be said when they used to classify homosexuality as a mental disorder.

    It's good you have self-awareness of your limitations, but you need to do some education. And it won't be easy as people with Agendas try to influence that.

    For some it is a phase of affectation or experimentation, and that's fine. For others it is a lifelong issue and most certainly not a "choice". And it can be really debilitating, self-destructively so.

    "Gender dysphoria" is a term that reflects more accurately than gender identity disorder when an individual is distressed about a conflict between their sex assigned at birth and their gender identity/role. "Gender identity disorder" suggests that their gender identity is disordered, yet having any gender identity, including a transgender identity, is not a disorder. However, having any gender identity, including a transgender identity, is not a disorder. Rather, the distress that some transgender people may experience at some point in their lives may be of clinical concern and can be alleviated through clinical management. The change in the DSM from gender identity disorder to gender dysphoria was a way to depathologize having a gender identity that differs from one’s sex assigned at birth and recognize the concern and clinical care that transgender individuals may need to achieve comfort with their gender identity, their body and gender role.

    Technically, for something to be a "disorder" it has to meet 2 conditions. First, it has to be atypical. Second, it has to be distressing in some way. The only reason that transgenders are distressed is because people like you don't accept them in society. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

    This is very contradictory. Being transgender is no different from being gay ie you don't choose to be either. Wearing women's clothing is a choice but have the feeling that you are/were born the wrong gender and in the wrong body is not.

    Honestly in the last 5 or so years I've seen the pendulum swing the other direction. Many of my gay friends are openly critical of religious families regardless of their views on gay marriage. That is, they are assuming that they "are against them" without even knowing where they stand on the issue. 

    I think a lot of conservatives need to realize members of LGBT aren't aliens out to abduct their children and transform them into gaybots. LGBT members need to realize that believing in a god does not necessarily mean that person is against LGBT.

    There are homosexuals who claim to be Christian. There are even non-denominational churches that make an effort to reach out to LGBT people who want to be part of spiritual communities but can't find any willing to accept them because of their sexuality. There are actually a lot of religious gay people, and to a large degree, the LGBT community couldn't care less...

    This is more of a problem with Republicans in my opinion, not conservatives. They do the same thing with rape abortions. If a Republican believed in "god's plan" at all, they'd not be okay with murdering the rape babies, and only the rape babies. They believe in the free market, except when we need to bail out the banks.

    So on, and so forth. I consider myself a conservative, but I understand that the Republicans are walking caricatures, similar to the cast of Sunny in Philadelphia. It brings me no pain to see them mocked relentlessly.

    We talk about bubbles quite a bit, and this is one of those cases. I don't mean to discourage the question, but it says something that people have to ask it in the first place, because they've never really heard the other side's case. Their press doesn't report it.

    For people who are seriously curious, I would suggest looking at what church leaders have to say. Take a look at people who formerly identified as trans. Children raised in a same-sex environment who testified to keep marriage as-is.

    There are simply some 2+2=4 issues in society. It does not equal five, no matter how many activists and judges say so. But we have a first amendment and people can be as wrong as they want to be. Here's another issue, though. More than the behavior, I would say the #1 reason I despise the SJW movement is that they refuse to recognize free speech and religious liberty. They ask everyone to accept whatever they want, to the point where Salon writers defend pedophiles, but they can't handle it when someone who lives a good life in every respect simply says "no." Some of them even want jail time for speech. It's absurd.

    I personally "accept" anyone in society.

    But I disagree the the only trans people who have ever been distressed are because of society, plenty of people don't to be atypical just on their own terms. And dysmorphias, generally, are on the OCD spectrum - and that doesn't help.

So if a man is mentally overwhelmed that his muscles are not big enough, it's both a dysmorphia and a disorder. If a woman is mentally overwhelmed he is too fat, it's both a dysphoria and a disorder.

    I also think its gets more of a bad rap because many folks, especially college age students, get lectured by their professors on the 'evils' of Wikipedia because of its public nature of getting edited by anyone. Its my opinion that they are just stupid jealous that they didn't have information like this when they were younger and had to actually go to the library and use books. There has been a few studies done on Wikipedia and its found that's its actually quite a reliable place for information. There have been many stupid edits people would make to pages but it typically gets fixed really quick. As long as your paying attention to its sources and where they are from you should be fine.

    You provided an interview posted ON the APA website from ONE PhD whereas the Wikipedia article had a plethora of sources referenced to actual studies from many PhDs and other reliable articles from peers. In fact, I think the Wikipedia article he posted wasn't even trying to object to your original article. He just made an insight, you immediately saw Wikipedia, and flipped the f**k out. "I don't care" doesn't discredit his link. If anything, he should have just scrolled down and posted the main referenced article instead to at least avoid any anti-wiki backlash due to the taboo nature Wikipedia has with ill-informed people.

    It's interesting that Gender Dysphoria is the only one of the Body Dysmorphic Disorders that is not a disorder. So if a man is mentally overwhelmed that his muscles are not big enough, it's both a dysmorphia and a disorder. If a woman is mentally overwhelmed he is too fat, it's both a dysphoria and a disorder. But if they are overwhelmed that their do not have the correct genitals - suddenly it's not a disorder.

    Is it the only Body Dysmorphic Disorder subcategory that's not a Disorder?

    Seems legit.

    You know its not hard to check the credibility of a Wikipedia page. Instead of bashing the link immediately without giving it a quick look on your own. This is one of the main articles this particular wiki page is referencing. Brought to you by PhDs and MDs in neuroscience.

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3181960/

    Students just wishing they could use Wikipedia for their classes actually can. They simply just need to scroll to the bottom of the article and use the sources provided to the page from there. They can easily click them and determine if the article is from a credible source.


    Thanks.

    I had gone through the sources of that Wiki page to ensure they were well cited, as tends (VERY strongly) to be the case in their scientific pages.

      God does not make mistakes, so God intentionally made people gay and transgender. Love thy neighbor you know.


      I assume you're referring to the Christian god? That god has made mistakes. The story of Noah confirms it. If you read it, it states clearly that God repented for having made man, due to their wickedness (Genesis 6:6). In order to repent, one must have felt regret for something. To feel regret for something, one feels that they have made a mistake. 

      This god is not perfect. A perfect being would never have any need to repent.

      As to why conservatives are against LGBT? I would assume that mostly the Christian base is that way, and this is due to the Bibles outright condemnation of homosexuals. In the Old Testament, it plainly states that homosexuals should be killed. The New Testament is a bit more relaxed, but they are still condemned saying that they will go to hell.

      i'm not christian but this is basically my thinking, these people are the way they are because that's how they're supposed to be, if that wasn't the case they'd be something else.

      I can simplify this with the following answer:

      1. Religion
      2. Sexism (men need 2 act manly, gayz r limpwrists and commies, and lesbians r just bitter chicks who can't get a man cuz they ugly. Lezbians annoying, gays r a threat to our kidz, our blood supply, and national security)

      Yes, along with liars, thieves, swindlers/con artists, addicts, prostitutes, non-Christians, anyone who worships anything other than the Judeo Christian God, anyone who hates another human being for any reason, people who hold grudges, blasphemers, the arrogant, the boastful, adulterers, anyone who uses lewd speech, and anyone who disrespects their parents. (and murderers, of course)

      Yet somehow, the homophobes view male homosexuality as being worse than any of those excepting murder and maybe blasphemy and prostitution.

      Not necessarily. The only group outright condemned by that passage is bisexuals.

      Some people would spin it as arbitrary tests of faith or a punishment for some misdoing.

      I'd take it as evidence that if there is a god it's either sadistic or doesn't care about our well being.

      Leviticus 20:13

      Depending on the translation you read, this could very well be referring to homosexuals.

      For instance, the international standard version words it like this: 

      "If a man has sexual relations with another male as he would with a woman, both have committed a repulsive act. They are certainly to be put to death."

      In this translation, the language is emphasizing comparison. Notice the word "would" is not the word "does". The word usage could insinuates that if a man has sex with another man, similar to how he would with a woman, then he should be killed.

      Another translation specifically uses the word "homosexuality".

      Some of the translations are not as clear, such as the King James Version: 

      "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."

      I can see how one could get that this passage is referring to bisexuals.

      It's probably hokey, anyway.

      Most of that list could be used to describe any group or individual, not just reps or dems.

      I mean, if you just think about it, the idea that it means bisexuals is absurd. That's obviously not what it means because they would never have thought that. They would not have had no beef with homosexuals but think bisexuals should die. Inability to procreate is a big part of ancient gay bashing, that doesn't apply to bisexuals.
