Just to make clear where I stand

 Since I am now free of any attachment to an organization that will "cancel" for not going along with the mob despite my own conscience, morals, religious beliefs, politics, and personal creed, let me make my positions on a few things absolutely clear.

For starters, I am politically a classical liberal with some conservative sympathies. I'm a devout non-denominational Christian. I used to be a former "social justice warrior", but disowned that movement when I realized the modern-day version has nothing to do with true justice but is merely the new version of being a bigot with a false veneer of tolerance. If anything, they deem themselves able to hate, spit on, and destroy anyone they don't agree with using just the same venom as an honest racist, just the honest racist is HONEST about their hate.

As to several issues where I come off unenlightened, let me be clear on them:

1. Homosexuality/Lesbianism/Bisexuality

From a standpoint of Christian morals, I obviously do not approve of it and do not condone it in my own life, but if others choose this lifestyle (and yes, I consider it a lifestyle, I do not and will not ever subscribe to the idea one can be born this way due to my belief in free will, mental illness compromising this as the sole exception), that is their moral choice and I will respect their CHOICE as one they made based on their own values.

2. Transgenderism

I have no personal hatred of the transgender or those who claim this status. The only thing I despise is being told I must agree with their logic, platform, and beliefs and I must suppress my own opinion or be called a bigot.

As to my actual opinions, they are as follows: There is no true ability for a man to be a woman or woman to be a man. No man will ever be able to ovulate, and no woman can ever produce sperm or have a prostate gland.

So no, "trans women are women" and "trans men are men" is an utter crock. Putting lipstick on a pig does not make a pig a woman, nor does cosmetic surgery and hormones make one another gender, and I'll even explain why.

Be warned, frank discussion of some biological topics that may be disturbing ahead.

When a man gets female hormones like estrogen, they may change the body to develop more like a female would to a degree, but humanity has no natural gender-changing functions. A man cannot develop or support ovaries, the vaginal cavity, or any other aspect of the female reproductive system that is specific to women.

If a man decides to have his penis mutilated and surgically altered to resemble the best facsimile of an actual vagina, what they have instead is a wound that they must keep from swelling shut through dilation because, obviously, they have decided to make sure otherwise healthy tissue and body function is destroyed to resemble cosmetically what they will never truly have genetically.

Ergo, never try to convince me men can be women until we have the ability to change a man into a woman down to the genetic level on 1:1 basis, otherwise, all you are doing is an elaborate live-action role play involving bodily mutilation and mass inducement of hormones your male body was never supposed to support. The hormones in question cause erectile dysfunction and increase the risk of certain types of cancers because they are warping the male body in a manner that was never naturally intended.

Trans men are just women who have done the same. All they have done is cut off their breasts, go full tilt on trying to avoid any hint of being feminine, and much like the men who mutilate their perfectly functional penises to live as some parody of a woman, women who want to be men will get what is called a phalloplasty, which is basically a fake penis grafted onto the crotch that in no way will ever function like the real thing or allow them to impregnate a woman.

Ergo, transgenderism is a crock in what it purports to do logically.

Further, I consider it a mental illness, no matter how the transgender lobby has tried to get science to bend the knee. It is not healthy or normal to reject your own body, mutilate it, and try to be something you never will be while compromising your mental and physical wellbeing to live an elaborate lie.

I consider the current social belief otherwise to be based on quackery that would have John Money laughing from his grave.

And on a final note, most people who want to be "transgender" are typically the following:

A. Depraved, sex-crazed autogynephiliacs who want to masturbate to their own reflection.

B. Mentally ill people who need legitimate treatment who have tricked into thinking changing their body into a grotesque parody is the solution while doing nothing for their true underlying mental health issues, which explains why so many of these types are mentally ill and regretfully commit suicide at such high rates.

C. A mix of the first two.

The only thing I consider legitimately connected to the transgender identity/concept is those genuinely unfortunate with genetic intersex deformities due to legitimate issues beyond their control. They deserve medical and mental treatment to live the best life that is possible and are the only ones who have my genuine sympathy as being anything that is actually in NEED of surgery, hormone treatments, and so on to live a normal life. If someone not in this category decides to change their body to fit a certain gender with a clear conscience, is aware of the consequences, and doesn't try to force me to play along with something I don't believe in, while I hold to my position, they too will get my compassion for them as a human being if nothing else.

The rest are at, at best, deluded into believing in something as barbaric as the lobotomy, or absolutely depraved perverts with a pornographic fantasy they want to make a reality that will never happen as I have explained for biological and genetic reasons.

2. Gender pronouns

 

The only ones I truly believe in are male and female.

The reason is simple and anyone who can follow history will understand this. No civilization I can research HASN'T had some way of separating gender into male and female, with clear differences on a social and biological level for said status all revolving around the same basic logic since the dawn of history. The idea this is nonsense is a very recent invention that flies in the face of established science and logic that has stood the test of time up until the last several decades, when the idea one can discard these concepts came into being.

I do not have the time or interest to discuss why certain "other genders" are absolute nonsense, so I'll just cover one of the biggest ones which most of the others are some variation of.

Nonbinary.

The concept behind this "gender" is a tortured take on the logic of male and female-gendered behaviors. This gender purports you don't have to be considered male or female to do certain things and tries to take it to the illogical conclusion a woman can deny being a woman if she insists she's not one, regardless of whether she went out of her way to destroy or alter her secondary sexual characteristics or not, and vice versa for men.

This is sheer idiocy because, like it or not, your DNA does not lie for you and never will. While a man can play with dolls and a woman with action figures and there is nothing saying that's inherently wrong, it's utterly deluded to believe you can demand the entire world not clock you as male or female simply because you wish hard enough.

It's a belief founded in the same kind of fantasy young children have about being a superhero, and just as childish for adults.
