Is that shiny armor heavy for you?Conflating intersex and transgender is insulting to both groups. You might as well suggest gay people are intersex

First, let me thank you for being open and honest enough to admit that you can't find what you previously encountered. I am not doubting that you did come across it, in and of itself. I remember being exposed to things when I was younger and before internet, so it's not like I can come up with easy references for them anymore. It is also good to know someone else can admit to the possibility that they have been exposed to true, yet skewed data or information.Prior to posting, I tried to find the most recent example. It was an article written for some publication - though I cannot recall which.
That most recent example was an intersex individual stating that DSD being used to make an argument for transgenderism (Note: they were not saying they don't believe that trans exists) or that sex is not a binary is, basically, insulting.
Anyway, I think it's fair that you ask for the article to see their arguments. I just cannot provide it at the moment..
From what I have seen, it appears to be a common complaint from the intersex community. Though that might just be an algorithmic bubble I'm in, for all i know.
How can you possibly akm=nolwdge god when there is absolutely no objective evidence of a god?
3). I HATE Him so much that I'll reinterpret His Word to meet my selfish and destructive desires (i.e. the 'gay' christian movement).
The only tenet of atheism or strong agnosticism is that there is no objective or emptrical evidence of a supernatural creator. There is nothing to support the claims that your god exists or any one of the other 250+ gods that are or were claimed to exist.The 3 tenets of atheism:
1). There is no God.
2). I HATE Him (atheists that claim that they don't believe in God, but just can't talk enough about Him).
3). I HATE Him so much that I'll reinterpret His Word to meet my selfish and destructive desires (i.e. the 'gay' christian movement).
You were a #1 for a short spell Lisa, touched on #3 towards the end of your post, and then went full blown #2 with the rest of your post.
Sounds like anarchy to me, something that you leftists specialize in. Show me where Jesus even vaguely suggested that the law should be taken into one's own hands. His Apostles (those that were taught by Him/God) believed in the rule of law: Romans 13, 1 Peter 2: 13-15.This reminds me so much of the "Christian" haters, who bomb abortion clinics, set fire to their mother's house with the mother and brother still in it (recent event. Look it up), beat up homosexuals and transgender
Sounds like you'e putting illegal immigration into a LGBT thread., and to tell people who have been here longer than they have to "go home".
Hence opening the door for you and your atheists i.e. your LGBT movement to engage in all kinds of depravity: pedophillia/pederasty ("man-boy love" is huge in the LGBT movement), incest, bestiality, etc. etc. etc.The only tenet of atheism or strong agnosticism is that there is no objective or emptrical evidence of a supernatural creator.
There is no one to hate. I dont hate Sigma or Darth Vader.The 3 tenets of atheism:

The LBGT movement detests NAMBLA. Where have you been that you missed that? Furthermore, those in the LBGT and poly communities condemn pedophilia, beastiality, necrophilia and the like because of the lack of informed consent. It is the lies of the extreme right wing that claims we want such. By the standard you are using, Westboro Baptist Church is representative of all Christianity.Hence opening the door for you and your atheists i.e. your LGBT movement to engage in all kinds of depravity: pedophillia/pederasty ("man-boy love" is huge in the LGBT movement), incest, bestiality, etc. etc. etc.

And more often members of the Republican party, or part of the Christian clergy. The only thing I will say is that we don't want to broad brush these two groups. Most clergy don't actually engage in such activities, and we don't want to negatively paint the good Republicans such as Hogan.Funny how Conservatives accuse LGBT people of being pedos, when most pedos i have noticed on the news have been straight. Like a female teacher with a boy or such or even family members.

WASHINGTON (AP) _ The gay community has long allowed other sexual outcasts to ride its coattails, from transvestites and transsexuals to bisexuals and leather fetishists. But it is now trying to distance itself from pedophiles.
Last month, a New York group called Stonewall 25 voted to bar the controversial North American Man-Boy Love Association from its international march on the United Nations on June 26. The demonstration will commemorate the 25th anniversary of an uprising at the Stonewall Inn, a Greenwich Village gay bar.
″Those who advocate or engage in sexual abuse of young people are not welcome in the family of gay men and lesbians who live upstanding and honorable lives,″ said Pat Norman, a co-chair of the march.
The gay community has historically been inconsistent in its response to pedophiles, leaving itself open to attack.
In January, the Senate unanimously passed an amendment, introduced by Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C., to sharply reduce funds to the United Nations unless it severs ties with the International Lesbian and Gay Association. Helms objected to the association’s relationship to NAMBLA, one of about 350 groups that belong to ILGA.
Helms said the United States was ″fast asleep at the switch″ when it joined other nations in voting last year to give consultative status to ILGA in the U.N. Economic and Social Council.
The council is a 54-nation body that studies economic and social issues and makes non-binding recommendations to the U.N. General Assembly on such topics as human rights, the status of women, population, social welfare, crime and other issues.
That sounds more like the Trump GOP.
Granted, the homosexual founded North American Man Boy Love Association, which marched in your 'gay' pride parades for years (i.e. the march of the moral degenerates) was very bad PR (very bad), so they had to be given an incentive not openly display their man-boy love theme, and what better way than allowing them to go on unsupervised overnight campouts with 12 year old boys as Scout Masters?You must be Rip van Winkle because this was 25 years ago, You might want to talk to Trump, Roy Moore, and Trump's former friends Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
They’re pining for one of the most suffocatingly strict periods in this country’s history. The 50s. WWII vets couldnt talk about what they went through, many resorted to rather unhealthy ways of dealing with PTSD because they were told to shut up.That sounds more like the Trump GOP.

Take your lies and put them where the sun doesn't shine. This is just a partial list of the times that the trump administration attacked LGBT rights.aCultureWarrior said:

Here’s a list of attacks the Trump-Pence administration has levied against LGBTQ people:
For the full list of Trump’s attacks on LGBTQ people, visit HRC.org/Trump.
- Opposition to the Equality Act: Despite support from almost every segment of the U.S. population and a majority of Republicans, President Trump opposed the Equality Act. In May, the House passed the Equality Act, voting to guarantee critical non-discrimination protections for LGBTQ people among other crucial rights.
- Appointed anti-LGBTQ judges: Trump has appointed anti-LGBTQ judges with alarming anti-LGBTQ records to appointments at every level of the judicial system, including anti-equality Supreme Court Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh and federal nominees Kacsmaryk, Mateer, Bounds, Vitter. Menashi and others.
- Joked about Pence’s desire to hang LGBTQ people: In 2017, Trump joked about Vice President Pence’s anti-gay agenda saying “Don’t ask that guy—he wants to hang them all!”
In the Workplace
- Supported employment discrimination against LGBTQ people: The Trump administration submitted amicus briefs to the U.S. Supreme Court supporting discrimination against LGBTQ people.
- Banned transgender service members from the military: Against the expert advice of military leadership, medical authorities, budget analysts, 70% of Americans and the armed forces of allied countries, Trump and Pence banned transgender people from serving in the military.
- Rolled back Obama-era non-discrimination protections: Trump’s Department of Justice upended previous DOJ interpretations of the Civil Rights Act that protect transgender and non-binary workers from employment discrimination and ceased enforcing non-discrimination protections as well as taking a hostile stance to LGBTQ workers in court.
- Issued rule to license discrimination: Trump’s Department of Labor issued a regulation designed to allow federal contractors to claim a religious exemption to fire LGBTQ workers because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
- Kicked people living with HIV out of the military because of their status: The Department of Defense instituted a “Deploy or Get Out” policy, which would remove military personnel living with HIV from service solely because of their status.
- Created a hostile work environment for LGBTQ federal employees: According to Politico: “[The Trump administration] fostered a climate where six staffers who are LGBT described removing their wedding rings before coming to work in the morning, taking down photos of their partners and families or ultimately finding new jobs further away from certain political appointees. They did not want to be identified; two said they feared being reassigned for being gay.”
In Health Care
- Undermine Section 1557 Rule: HHS published a proposed major change to the administrative rule interpreting Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to remove explicit protections for LGBTQ people in healthcare programs and activities by excluding LGBTQ people from protections from discrimination based on sex stereotyping and gender identity.
- Created a Religious Discrimination Division: HHS created a new office whose sole purpose would be to defend physicians and other medical professionals who decide to refuse care, including to LGBTQ patients.
- Proposed cutting over $1.35 billion from PEPFAR budget: In his proposed FY 2019 budget, Trump cut $1.35 billion from, or 29% of PEPFAR’s budget. PEPFAR is the U.S. government program that fights AIDS abroad.

- Advocated for the elimination of the entire Affordable Care Act: The Justice Department issued a legal filing arguing that the entirety of the Affordable Care Act should be overturned. This move would jeopardize health care for over 130 million people with preexisting conditions like HIV and eliminate non-discrimination protections for LGBTQ people.
- Created a Religious Discrimination Division: HHS created a new office whose sole purpose would be to defend physicians and other medical professionals who decide to refuse care, including to LGBTQ patients.
- Proposed cutting over $1.35 billion from PEPFAR budget: In his proposed FY 2019 budget, Trump cut $1.35 billion from, or 29% of PEPFAR’s budget. PEPFAR is the U.S. government program that fights AIDS abroad.
In Schools
- Guidance for Schools on Transgender Students: The Departments of Education and Justice eliminated Obama-era guidance clarifying that schools must treat transgender students consistent with their gender identity. This encourages schools officials to permit harassment of transgender students, deny access to facilities consistent with gender identity, and refuse to use correct names and pronouns -- all inflicting untold emotional harm.
- Rejected Complaints From Transgender Students: The Department of Education refused to respond to civil complaints filed by transgender students, including those who were barred from using bathrooms that correspond with their gender identity. This increases the burden for transgender students to combat these harmful policies.
- Suggested it is acceptable for schools to discriminate against LGBTQ students while accepting tax-payer funds: Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos has refused to rule out federal funding for schools that discriminate against LGBTQ students and has declined to state she would otherwise intervene should discrimination occur.
- Sexual Assault: DeVos rescinded Title IX rules related to schools’ obligations to address sexual harassment, including sexual violence. By eliminating the Obama-era rules, DeVos increased the standard of proof from “preponderance of the evidence” to “clear and convincing evidence” making it more difficult for survivors of sexual assault to obtain justice. LGBTQ people are disproportionately affected by sexual assault and harassment, and the stigma that many LGBTQ people face can make it more difficult for survivors to report.
- Eliminated language protecting LGBTQ children participating in the 4-H program: The Trump-Pence Administration ordered 4-H programs to remove a policy specifically welcoming LGBTQ children in the 4-H program, which led to the firing of an official who protested.
- Used Title IX to discriminate against trans students: the Department of Education claimed that school policies allowing trans youth to participate in sports consistent with their gender identity violated federal law and threatened to withhold funds.
In Housing
- Allowed emergency shelters to deny access to transgender and gender nonconforming people: Despite the fact that LGBTQ people are significantly more likely to experience homelessness in their lives, HUD Secretary Ben Carson has proposed a rule to permit emergency shelters to deny access or otherwise discriminate against transgender and gender nonconforming peoplewho are homeless. HUD also canceled a scheduled survey on LGBTQ homelessness.
- Placed transgender incarcerated persons in the wrong prison: The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) rolled back an Obama-era policy that housed transgender prisoners consistent with their gender identity. With transgender people experiencing sexual assault at higher rates than average, this decision only puts them at further risk of assault.
n Families
- Allowed foster care programs to discriminate while accepting tax-payer funds: Trump-Pence White House has proposed a federal regulation that would strip away nondiscrimination requirements and permit all Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) grant recipients, notably adoption and foster care agencies, to discriminate against LGBTQ people, and in many circumstances religious minorities and women, and still receive federal funding.
- Refused visas to partners of diplomats: The State Department began refusing visas for same-sex partners of some diplomats and U.N. workers if they are not married.
- Changed rules to deny surrogate born children citizenship: The Trump Administration has interpreted immigration rules specifically so the child of a same-sex couple born abroad via surrogate would be considered "born out of wedlock" and making it more difficult to obtain U.S. citizenship.
In Representation
- Erased transgender people: Trump’s HHS proposed a new definition that would narrowly define sex as either male or female, unchangeable, and determined by birth. According to the New York Times: “The new definition would essentially eradicate federal recognition of the estimated 1.4 million [transgender] Americans.” In addition, agency staff, including those at the Centers for Disease Control, have been instructed to stop using the word transgender in official reports.
- Eliminated information on LGBTQ rights, mentions, and representation on government websites: Within hours of Trump’s swearing-in, pages on LGBTQ rights and recognition were removed from government websites, including the White House.
- Blocked questions regarding sexual orientation from consideration for the census: Trump and Pence have sought to block questions on sexual orientation from the census in order to erase LGBTQ people from official counts. This would, in turn, prevent the collection of crucial data that could help improve government programs and resources for LGBTQ people.
- Refused to recognize LGBTQ people in National AIDS day Address: Despite being the community most affected by the epidemic, Vice President Pence has consistently refused to acknowledge LGBTQ people in his addresses on National AIDS day.
Those are their ideas of traditional family values. A wife and children are their property in the eyes of socially conservative males. In their eyes, they cannot abuse what they own.Then these same people obsessed with the boomer era forget about the greasers, the rampant spousal and familial abuse.

Wait, do you not know that Donald Trump and much of the GOP are LGBT allies?

Too funny, your fellow rainbow flag waver Donald Trump had to throw his evanjellyfish supporters a meaningless bone now and again to make it appear that he was pro traditional family values. Tell me, what act did Trump do that set your LGBT movement back? As shown in t part 2 of the list below, Trump is "fine" with homosexuals 'marrying' (he should be, he went to enough homosexual 'weddings' before he became wannabe dictator in chief). You'll see in the list that he has all of the right pro LGBT Justices and Judges in place so that no harm comes to the LGBT movmeent, other than the harm that it brings on itself through it's perverse and evil agenda.Take your lies and put them where the sun doesn't shine. This is just a partial list of the times that the trump administration attacked LGBT rights.
