Horrifying Republican response to Bishop's sermon

The priest asked for 'mercy' and 'compassion' for transgender people who are scared about their future.

Literally that's all she said.

Apparently by doing this she's responsible for all the ills you describe.

Quoting just her words from the sermon - could you explain exactly how you've come to this conclusion?

Just by the by, the trans population is not 0.3% or any particular percentage.
It could be anything up to 50% of the population because any male can declare himself trans, and he is.

There is nothing theologically orthodox about describing a child as "trans". This bishop would do well to remember Matthew 19:4.

Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,

Is the bishop saying that God makes mistakes?

Exactly. He is not a dictator and the USA's legendary checks and balances of power are doing their job to protect your Constitution. So why the fearmongering?

Then I am proud to be defined as 'nasty' by you 😊

They have my full compassion and mercy right up until the point that, if they are transwomen, they insist on accessing women's spaces, sports, quotas, hospital wards, prisons, DV shelters, rape crisis shelters, lesbian groups and screwing up science and data. No compassion or mercy however for the activists egging them on, the progressives turning a blind eye, the fetishists and predators taking advantage or anyone involved in suggesting to children that they may be in the wrong body.

No I'm saying that those who promote gender ideology whether they are TRAs, teachers, drs, politicians or useful idiots like the priest in question are responsible for all the ills I described and no these people deserve no compassion or mercy.
Those who have been harmed by this ideology deserve our compassion but that doesn't include affirming their delusions or pandering to their demands.
That was a very nice try to completely twist my words though @izimbra 10/10 for effort

Undocumented immigrants usually do pay taxes in the USA

I have just listened to that sermon. It's a completely theologically correct and orthodox sermon about the need for respect in civil discourse with appropriate reference to the teachings of Christ and the fundamentals of Christianity. During this twenty minute sermon trans people are mentioned precisely once.

Trump says the sermon was "nasty". I say anyone who objects to this sermon is, like Trump, nasty.

@Hoardasurass

Are you saying that transgender people are morally culpable for all the ills you perceive arising from them being transgender/choosing to medically and/or socially live as a gender different to that of their sex, and therefore none of them are deserving of any compassion or mercy?

Slight problem with your analogy in that the priest in this case is not standing up for the down trodden predominantly female victims of gender ideology or those children who have had their bodies harmed by dangerous medications and/or mutilating surgeries before they're even old enough to understand what they are loosing.
Instead, you're cheering on those who promote and actively perpetuate Mengele type of experimentation on children and babies both pre and post birth (testosterone for pregnant women regardless of the harm to their unborn babies as wanting a healthy baby is evil cis hetro normative colonialism and male chest excretions instead of their mothers milk or formula).
You are not on the side of the angels here. You need to look at the way women who have spoken out about this have been treated both in the US and the UK, we've been threatened, assaulted, verbally abused, stalked, harassed, fired and persecuted by the police and justice system with not only the tassit approval but the active approval of certain elected members of both the Westminster and Scottish government's.

It would depend on the parents situation . My point was that Trump is trying to undo constitutional law . He will not be able to do that . He is not a dictator . He at the moment is temporarily blocked by a judge .

You seem to like using numbers, but ignore it when they demonstrate things you don’t like.

I pointed out how your 0.3% negatively affects millions of women and asked how many women will it take before you think it’s a problem. Do you have an answer?

If they are residents but not citizens then they are not stateless though. Won't they be legally holding a nationality other than being a person with the birth right citizenship of the USA? So, not stateless?

It will also affect people who reside legally in the USA but are not citizens . The biggest tragedy is that Trump is trying to undo a part of the Constitution which he just swore to uphold !
He is a dangerous man .

@GrammarTeacher teacher does not consider us worthy of reply. She has much more important things to do. Apparently "Women’s rights are hugely under threat right now".

And can I take it then that you merely ‘wish’ that female sports could use a ‘case by case’ solution to allow some male people to access a sports category designed to protect female people in both safety and equitable competition. But you have absolutely nothing to offer in that regard. Just as every other person, including the sports experts, who repeat that empty platitude.

Is it because it makes you feel that you are reasonable that you make that statement? When the reality is that your position harms female people’s sporting opportunities.

So, you have nothing to really back up your claims. A child born in the USA to parents who have not got the right to live there will not be made ‘stateless’. They have citizenship in the USA. Their parents don’t.

You have used emotionally manipulative language to describe the situation.

@GrammarTeacher

"Well, he does intend to make people stateless."

You do realise that the UK and the majority of the world also do not allow birthright citizenship, instead basing citizenship on the parents.

Are the UK and Europe making people stateless by not allowing birth right citizenship??

I have no interest in debating my opinions on trans issues on here. I will not change my mind.

Why are you posting on this board?

On the basis of them being gender dysphoric?

If this presidential election has shown one thing, it's disproved the claim by Jess Phillips et al that the conflict between trans activists' demands and women's rights isn't important to voters.

Ah just a drive-by scolder then. What a shame.

The previous poster quoted me. I just said 'women', not gc women, not women who voted for Trump, just 'women'. The poster explicitly said women are racists. All women. Including, by their lights, transwomen.
