"Your post isn't honest. Children aren't being "encouraged" to ignore their gender, you can't encourage or discourage such things just as you can't "recruit" people to alter their sexuality. People are what they are. But WHEN a child, or adult, feels they are the opposite sex trapped in a body of the wrong gender, we listen to them, we are compassionate. We don't call them faith-based names and insults and call them sinners over something they don't choose."

Your post isn't honest. That's the biggest load of hogwash to come down the pipe since the pig factory closed. How does one know malarkey when they see it? Just take what's said and insert another likely scenario into it. Such as:

"People are what they are. But WHEN a child, or adult, feels they are the opposite sex trapped in a body of the wrong gender, we listen to them, we are compassionate."

Okie Dokie, let's check that theory out:

People are what they are. But WHEN a child, or adult, feels they are a serial killer, we listen to them, we are compassionate.

People are what they are. But WHEN a child, or adult, feels they are an orangutan, we listen to them, we are compassionate.

People are what they are. But WHEN a child, or adult, feels they are a necrophiliac, we listen to them, we are compassionate.

Need I go on?

If a child feels like he wants to pick up an axe and chop his little brother or sister into pieces, you just sit 'em down and listen to them and be compassionate with them and let 'em know that's perfectly ok. Not me.

If a child feels like all they want to eat is ice cream every day all day long, you just sit 'em down and listen to them, be compassionate with them, and validate their FEELINGS! Not me.

I can only hope you're not adding your genetics to the gene pool.

Moreover, the Homosexual literature of the 60's and 70's contradict what you're saying. They made it clear their goal was to go after the children AND they wrote about how to RECRUIT them!!

There is NO such thing as Transgenderism. It IS a made-up concept to justify one's CHOICE to sin. Calling them Sinners is simply attaching the truth to their behaviors. Just like calling one who CHOOSES to kill an innocent person a Murderer or calling one who steals a Thief.

If the shoe fits, and you like the shoe, then wear it.
