I'm curious about your thoughts, if you want to share, on giving rights to transgender people being able to use Women's or Mens Restrooms, and your thoughts on transgenders competing in Mens sports.

As for myself, I'm against both issues for a variety of reasons. Number One, it goes against my religious beliefs. Two, I don't think it's fair for Biological Males to compete against Biological Females for MANY reasons.
For one, it's clearly a competitive disadvantage to Biological Women, etc.... I accept all people, but I don't accept these practices.

There's a gigantic thread on the main board already with the volleyball situation. This isn't really political in nature, either. |

I accept all peoples existence and love them as I would any other Human, but I don't believe in what some people practice. An example: I love my children, but I sometimes don't believe, or condone in what they do. |

You don't have to respond here if you don't want to. Nobody has to. |

You don't have to respond here if you don't want to. Nobody does. It's not. It's a personal choice. Someone's gender identity is their own. Can it be made a political issue? Of course. But at its core? Not so much. |

Can it be made a political issue? Of course. But at its core? Not so much. That's why I said, "as well." There were/are laws out there in some states permitting transgender people to use women bathrooms. I'm simply asking people if they agree with those laws. I know it's a personal choice, but I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about whether or not people agree or disagree with transgender people using the bathrooms, or playing sports with people of the opposite gender they were born with. Do you agree with the laws out on place allowing that. |

It's such an isolated situation in athletics that any story gets sensationalized to draw outrage among people who are looking for a reason to get angry. Let people use what bathroom they want. It's just another form of hate. |

Sure, there are religions full of hate and intolerance including atheism, but my situation is more of a relationship with Jesus, rather than a religion. Jesus is about love being number one, not hate. |

Jesus is about love being number one, not hate. It's a shame a very large part of the Christian community doesn't live up to Jesus' example of accepting everyone and they've turned Christianity into a weapon of hate. The Trans community, especially, gets the brunt of that hate. It used to be just the gay community, then these fundamentalist Christians found out about the trans community and hated them even more. They failed to learn the most important lessons in the Bible, but, then again, you've got paritioners going to pastors and telling them that sermons about forgiveness and understanding are weak and don't belong in the Church anymore. They don't seem to care what the Bible really says. They cherry pick what they want out of it, and some pastors aid them in that. Hate is an ugly thing. |

Yes, there are extremists in all facets of life, and unfortunately they get all the Press because it's out of the ordinary for the majority of Jesus following people. To say a majority of Christians is not right. It's more about a fraction of Christians that exhibit this hate. Again, they're the ones that get noticed, unfortunately, and then made public. By the way, the ones spewing hate, I would be hesitant to call them Christians in the first place. That's not Jesus, at all. They're more like Wolves in Sheeps clothing, and Jesus said to look out for them. |

Jesus is about love being number one, not hate. It's a religion. No problem, you can call it a religion. It's more about how you carry yourself and actually practicing the teachings of the Bible, instead of using one's own personal interpretation. If you actually follow Jesus examples, there's no hate involved. I would question anybody's faith who practices hate. |
