There's a trans man working at Wendy's a few miles away. He's early 60's and looks ridiculous. It's his right to dress that way but if you're going to say you're really a woman at least get a sense of style and learn how to wear makeup. I finally stopped going to that Wendy's because it was hard to look at him.
But if you talked to this person I bet you could come away with a little more understanding about their life and experiences and at least not be tempted to dehumanize the entire community based on hateful rhetoric.

I have talked to him. I've tried to be pleasant and respectful. But in the end he's very difficult to deal with because of his attire. It's very much like the Bud Light guy...a caricature of a woman. Between that and liberals demand we accept them and use the right pronouns it's just more than I want to deal with. So I don't.

Are you a Christian? Would Christ tell you that you should “accept them”? Christ hung out with criminals and weirdos.

Again, your dehumanizing rhetoric is the same rhetoric people used against the gay community.
When liberals start saying that some are MAP's, Minor Attracted People(Person?) well, we've seen this playbook before. Y'all are intent on forcing acceptance of every sexual deviation. Sometimes you just have to tell the truth, it's a perversion of nature. You can deal with adults who keep their proclivities to themselves until they bring children into the mix. There are limits to what is acceptable.

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.

It’s an impression of a woman done by a sick man. Ridiculous.

The Democrats have become the party of perverts and freaks, among other nasties.

Transgender people don't bring children into the mix, though. Children are not part of a trans person's sexuality by default.

I know priests and preachers and youth ministers keep getting caught touching and grooming children, though.

And you’re dehumanizing people when you say “you people” it’s a ridiculous statement, because none of us believe exactly the same on every issue. There is no “you people”. I’m a person singular and I have my own ideas about lots of things, so don’t be so quick to call the kettle black when you’re a pot.

Yes, you’re right there are preachers and youth ministers who are scumbags and everyone thinks they’re scumbags when it’s found out. No one tries to normalize it or dismiss it as no big deal.

I am in favor of extensive psychological evaluation prior to gun ownership and yearly psychological recertification for continued legal ownership.

All this for the benefit and safety of the gun owner.
Unacceptable in every way.

And beyond disingenuous to say that that control is for the gun owners benefit and safety.
