40 years ago, when I was in school, I was bullied because I was Jewish. It is not different. Maybe I chose to be Jewish, but it it is my ethnicity. I was beaten up...I was paddled by the principal. I was called a N****r loving Pollock Jew. I had a cross burning and bomb threat at my school...

LBGT youth may choose or it may be genetic...but it really is no different that being a different religion. (Race, clearly is genetic). Those of you that cite the bible as an indication of the truth: whose bible? which translation? You are the same ignorant fucks that run Westboro.

Big difference. Being Jewish is, as you state, is ethnicity.

A person born with a penis who wishes he had a vagina so that he could be a girl is like me wishing I had been born with a longer neck so that a can be a giraffe.

Seriously, PP? It is not abnormal to be Jewish. It does not go against human biology to be Jewish. No one has ever suggested this. Do not hijack this thread to make it about you.

Where was this?

FWIW, we had bomb threats at my school almost daily when I was a teen. This was in the '60's. They stopped after the administration extended the school day to make up the time.......who do you think was making those threats? Remember, this was before caller id.

Wow. (The favorite word of the left).

I care how someone feels inside. I find it difficult to believe that you don't understand the damage that 'feelings' can cause. Regardless of where you stand on this particular issue, I think we can all agree that bullying is damage. The research well documents the long term adverse affect of bullying and it's all about the feelings that result from it. There is a history of suicide in my family and I'm well acquainted with how negative feelings can linger and damage a person. I've got kids with special needs and see first hand how the negative comments of others cause feelings that are damaging to my kids. These comments are about things my kids can't help and are not their fault. There's also no DNA test for their disorders.

I don't understand how learning about homosexual/transgender people would result in suffering or abuse in the person learning. My kids have benefitted from their peers being more aware and more understanding of their disorders. My kids don't have discipline issues but their differences are noticeabe. Their classmates have been kinder and more supportive when my kids have been bullied or ridiculed. My youngest (rising 4th grader), in particular, has benefitted from this increased support. Up until 3rd grade, he didn't have the support he's got now. He hated school, was isolated and had a very negative outlook. All assessments indicated he was at high risk of developing depression. Given our family history, I have no doubt he'd be at increased risk of suicide.

Given a choice, I can't imagine anyone choosing to be homosexual or transgender - just like I can't imagine choosing to have the disorders my kids have. I can, though, easily imagine how damaging the lack of support and understanding can be. I see no damage caused by being homosexual or transgender or learning about it. I can see great benefit to the homosexual/transgender by having their feelings validated.


Four simple words: it's all a lie.

But you don't care about that part, do you ?

I'm the PP you're responding to. I'm not sure which part you think is a lie. When someone tells me they believe or feel a certain way, unless I have been given a reason to doubt that person's veracity, I believe them. Of course, they could be lying, it could be a phase. Whatever their reason for asserting they're homosexual/transgender, it has no impact on me or my family. If that's how someone identifies, let them. I can't imagine deliberately taking action that diminishes someone's feelings and self worth. I've seen it done to my kids and I wouldn't wish that on anyone's child - no matter how old.

You are in the business of being up in people's lives, which is funny since the right wing is usually of the mindset of "keep the government out of it" (unless it offends your delicate sensibilities, I suppose.)



Who cares what someone "feels inside?" Feelings come and go like the summer wind.

No, I am in the business of protecting my children and others from this kind of distorted mental and emotional abuse being shoved at them from all directions from an idiotic society that impresses itself by posting rainbow flags on a facebook page.

Says you. The FCPS School Board and most people who aren't driven by a faith-based agenda disagree. You had a rough time last week, we get it. Go lick your wounds somewhere else.

NP and atheist here. Transgender is a mental disorder, an abnormality. Whether or not you a "believer". I'm not and even I can see this as plain as day.

With your 4 simple words, you have completely invalidated everything you have said and any point you had to make. You do not live in reality.

Yes, but it exists and there is no known treatment shown to work besides therapy and transitioning. So mental disorder or not, there is no reason not to teach people about it and about how to be a decent human being to people dealing with it.

And I'm not the "bigoted fuck" poster but to the PP with the 4 words, it fits you well. You should own it and be proud, because you are too simple and ignorant to ever change. Pity your kids.
