Gender Confusion? Excuse Me?
A new group is emerging in Conservative Americana called "Americans For Truth." Yeah...Right. It would seem that this groups particular agenda is to "expose" the agenda of Homosexual America, "informing" the masses about the falsehoods those faggots are espousing. This is of course being done in a fanatical, overly-zealous Christian fashion. That's right folks! The same mindset that gave us the Spanish Inquisition, prohibition, strictly enforced geocentric belief, the Crusades, justification of slavery in America, male superiority and a host of other ditties. One of their latest inventions is the concept of "gender uncertainty." That's right! Gender uncertainty! It would seem that they believe that those suffering gender dysphoria are simply "not certain" about their sexual identity. After all MtF's are born with a penis and are obviously male! FtM's have a pussy and should be kept in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant. The one point that they neglect is that repeated studies on the subject have shown, conclusively, that transsexuals (read: those with gender dysphoria) do have the brain development of their sexual identity. They also neglect the fact that there are no effective “reparative therapies” that have any significant impact on the condition, other than to drive those subject to these things totally insane, if they can not discount what was done to them and transition anyway. There is no confusion on the part of the transsexuals about whom and what they are. They are absolutely certain of their identity from a very early age. If anyone is deluded, it is those who gainsay the transsexual and demand that they endure the unendurable – just so these “fine, upstanding individuals” can have the illusion that things are black and white. Great! Just what we need – another failed dichotomy!
My, my! How interesting! It would seem that these people are simply not capable of dealing with reality as they simply do not let the "truth" or inconvenient facts stand in their way. They assume that the most important sexual organs in the body are the genitalia, forgetting that, without the brain to operate them, the genitalia are completely dysfunctional. There are a lot of cases where even psychological pain can cause complete impotence. If this is the case, then how can the genitalia ever be considered the primary sexual organ? It would seem that these people are living proof of the hour glass phenomenon when it is applied to those who live by faith. “As the heart fills, the head empties.”
I would have to say that this type of thinking is not only the worse example of willful and deliberate negligence , but totally dangerous from a social/political perspective as well. If people are capable of this degree of self-delusion, what will happen to the laws of this country if this mindset is allowed to gain control of the legislature, the executive branch and pack the Supreme Court as well?
I would hope that people would be capable off seeing the horribly toxic aspect of these types of beliefs. However, in view of the fact that transsexualism has been around far longer than Christians, and that most Christians simply are not even willing to admit that natural deviation occurs within the human genome with respect to sex (after all - God created them man and woman), I can only assume that this is another group that will never allow reality to disrupt their agenda of playing to human cupidity, stupidity, superstition, ignorance, fear and hatred. God…Save me from your followers! Oh! I forgot! If I am praying to their god, I must be talking to myself! They certainly do not give their god much in the way of faith that HE can take care of his own creation, do they?
I really hope that people will see through these obvious attempts to dehumanize a small minority that has already suffered way too much in the way of religious persecution at the behest of these "tender-hearted" individuals. If they can get away with this, who will be disenfranchised next?

Re: "The one point that they neglect is that repeated studies on the subject have shown, inconclusively, that transsexuals (read: those with gender dysphoria) do have the brain development of their sexual identity."
Don't you mean "conclusively"?
If it's inconclusive, it's not certain.
Can I also note that the Bible was used, with equal enthusiasm and conviction, by the abolitionists?

I don't particularly care who the Fundamentalists and Evangelicals disenfranchise next! They're running out of groups to disdain and fight. My guess is that gays and the transgendered are pretty much all that's left to vilify. Well, I guess they could go after Buddhists or Wiccans.
Hi Ya Carolyn Ann - Bigots will always find someone to hate. We happen to be the current group demanding equality. Unfortunately, I doubt we will be the last.

Hi CarolAnn,
Yuppers! I did mean to say, "conclusively." Unfortunately, when I put these things together, I'm usually doing a speed run, attempting to do several things within an impossibly small window of opportunity!
As far as who will be next? I can see a lot of opportunities out there. However, my main concern revolves around rational self interest. The imposition of religious tenets and superstitions into medical ethics has really screwed me over my entire life. Coming from the perspective of one family member telling me I would be divorced from the family, disinherited and killed, to being specifically denied medical coverage for what is obviously a prenatal developmental issue. My only lapse was to exhibit an anomaly in the one area that Christians can rarely be in any way rational about.
As far as the abolitionists using the Bible for justification of the elimination of slavery, the same book was used a few centuries prior to justify slavery.
The whole problem with religion being used in government is that scripture can be interpreted in so many ways - and can be held as being an "article of faith" and therefore not subject to debate...Cute...
