Well we agree on something, godewey! It's true that we don't have to agree, condone or like a behavior. And that's all I have stated here. But you seem to be upset that I have stated my opinion.
I don't personally attack people. Actually I understand that Caitlyn and the rest of transgenders are terribly unhappy and confused people, hence my "sorrow and pity". So YOU have never felt sadness or pity for those in pain?
How do you figure I have my life "all figured out"? What the heck does that mean? I guess you COULD say that I am lucky because I know that I am female. But beyond that, you don't know me and you seem to have a bit of a patronizing attitude going just because I expressed a strong belief that transgenderism is a mental disorder. Disorder does not equal evil (if that's what you think I mean). Just what it is, a disordered form of thinking.
Who the freak am I putting in a "nice neat little box"? There is reality and there is fantasy and delusion. If a person has a delusion that they are a woman in a man's body, vice versa, or Napoleon for that matter(!), so be it. There is such a thing as reality even though there is a segment of society which maintains that anything goes!
Maybe to you reality is a fluid concept, but there is an actual real world.
Well sorry to say, but I DO feel sorrow and pity for those who are hurting. I can respect them as human beings but I still feel sad for them. I haven't encased my feelings in ice as some people have. And to whack off body parts and mutilate yourself in order to be the gender you "think" you are has to be one sorrowful and sad life.
I CAN pity people for their misery and still respect them as human beings. The two feelings are not mutually exclusive! As I said in another post, I wouldn't mind if Caitlyn Jenner moved into my neighborhood. If Caitlyn asked to borrow a cup of sugar or something else, I'd give it. For one thing, I wouldn't insult Caitlyn because she could probably beat me up. LOL
Of course it's none of my business what people do. But so many celebrities cannot resist the siren song of publicity. They have to put their stories and their personal lives in people's faces and, crazy me!, when people shove their lives in my face, I tend to form an opinion.
I never watched that Kardashian freak show circus that Bruce Jenner was swept up in. But their faces were on the covers of every magazine in the checkout aisle of the grocery store. I get the feeling that Bruce Jenner used some of that money and publicity from the show to finance his transformation. (after all, how much money was he still getting from his days as an Olympic athlete). These people WANT publicity. They WANT to bare their souls. Well surprise, surprise! Shove your business in my face and you may not like my opinion but you may get it. But really, does MY little opinion mean diddlysquat to Caitlyn Jenner? I think not!
Another thing, I caught part of Bruce Jenner's interview with Diane Sawyer. She seemed so dismayed and upset when Bruce said he was a conservative. What HORROR! The man was about to whack off his @#@# but when he said he didn't like Obama's poilcies, she was about ready to cry! The woman was in shock.
So don't give me the all inclusive politically correct lefty talk. You folks only accept what YOU want to accept. At least Caitlyn is a conservative, so I know she's not totally over the edge.
As for labeling everything I don't like or agree with as a "mental disorder", well ,uh, no I don't. When and how did you come to that particular conclusion?
I have known people who cheated on spouses and I disagree with that. Not a mental disorder, just a sin! Remember sin? It actually does exist.
I've known people who lie or steal, also not a mental disorder, just more sin. I myself, as a card carrying member of the human race, also sin and I don't have any mental disorders (not any really BIG ones as far as I can tell anyway).
I simply refuse to buy into a delusion and accept it as reality just so the PC , snowflake crowd won't label me a hater. See, you folks have your labels too!
