    Can't you just feel the openness and tolerance in the OP's diatribe? Offering zero evidence to his lies its just par for the course for the hatred on the far left.

    except some of their seminal research is done by a minister. It has no peer reviewed research and it is basically rejected by APA.
    Show me real peer reviewed research, until then, it doesn't matter if you have an organization, you have to be telling the truth.

    Forcing a child to live as a gender he or she doesn't identify as IS the assault on the child, you've got things backwards. It's the youth themselves who choose to transition, the parents are doing what is best for them, since gender dysphoria will only get worse if puberty is allowed to go on without medical treatment. You're one who needs to educate yourself on the issue, but I know I'm wasting my time since you are the sort who takes pride in being ignorant.

    And that has no comparison to forcing "ex-gay therapy" on children.

    tex beat me to it. I would expect nothing but a double standard from you. If the parents are gay and want to change the gender of their child through hormones then that's OK. If the person is gay and wants to become hetero then that's absurd .

    Do you really think you add credibility by having that position?

    Tex beat you to embarrassing yourself? Don't worry, have at it, there's enough ignorance to spew around from both of you.

    if the definition to the word is discussing actual occurrences, then yes.

    My understanding is that there is little to support this.

    By that sick and disgusting logic every tomboy girl should be given drugs to suppress her genetic make-up. the very point you would support gender manipulation of a child before puberty only displays a very sick mind so dedicated to the gay religion you are willing to abuse a child to grow your flock. disgusting does even begin to cover it.

    I believe you don't want to think its possible. That's very closed minded of you.

    Every time someone converts it speaks poorly about the religion they left and positively about the religion they converted to.

    And don't use the R word, bigot.

    Likely?

    You're really screwing with people over something that is, at best, likely true.

    What might those lies be?

    The articles cited in the piece about the Family Research Council are all cited, and they are all accurate.

    Family Research Council is using this as an attention getting gimmick. It will be megaphoned all over the right wing blogs and on the noise machine. Fox Noise will "cover" (i.e. promote) the event, and the Family Research Council will use it to raise money off the rubes.

    It's what they do.

    And as for the "hate filled" OP, the Southern Poverty Law Center had this to say about Tony Perkin's little hate group:

    You suppose there may be a few?


    You gay dudes hate apostates about as much as Muslims.

    Don't use the splc. They are a hate group as well.

    Gay dudes, why do I sense so much anger from you about the idea of gay dudes going straight?

    Gay dudes cannot 'go straight'.

    I am sensing some anger from you though, since I'm guessing your own alleged straightness is dependent upon the idea that you can choose to pray the gay away.

    What would you say to someone who has?

    I only wish to understand. It seems like you find the idea repulsive.

    It is so incredible that people can decide so much about something they deliberately know so little.

    Anyone who had in any interest in reality would know that Gender Identity Disorder is a serious, incurable condition what manifests itself in severe behavior and mental issues, and symptoms regularly include self-mutilation (attempts to or actual cutting off of penis, scrotum, and mutilation of other unwanted biological gender attributes), severe depression and suicide.

    To characterize such a serious, identifiable and clear condition as being a "tomboy girl" is not just entirely ignorant of reality and the pain and difficulties some people undergo, "disgusting does even begin to cover it".

    Its like calling seriously autistic children, as Michael Savage did to the applause of Righties everywhere, "a brat who hasn't been told to cut the act out. What do you mean they scream and they're silent? They don't have a father around to tell them, "Don't act like a moron. You'll get nowhere in life. Stop acting like a putz. Straighten up. Act like a man. Don't sit there crying and screaming, idiot!"

    Beyond disgusting.

    Why should I?

    I am a happily married man, with children, who is not threatened in anyway by a gay man or a gay woman. I personally think this whole obsession with whether they are inherently that way is as stupid as arguing whether people are born left handed or not.

    Frankly, every gay person I know has had to deal with the very real world that is full of bigots who wish any homosexual or perceived homosexual a quick trip to hell. They have no obligation to prove to me or to you why they happen to be attracted to the same gender as they are, any more than I have any obligation to prove why I am attracted to women. They owe me no explanation- no more than my next door neighbor- for any kind of sexual acts that they enjoy behind closed doors.

    See- I am very confident in my own sexuality- no Brad Pitt or handsome man is going to turn my head or cause me to check out his butt as he walks by.

    But if you think that a person's sexuality is a choice- then feel free to give it a try- I have suggested the experiment to Sec and I will suggest it to you-

    I will be the control- for a week you try to be attracted to men and see if by the end of the week you have stopped looking at boobs and instead are checking a guy's package. I will continue my 'born' heterosexual ways and check out (discreetly mind you) those swaying hips of the woman walking by.

    We can check back in a week and see if either of our sexual preferences have changed- like I said I will be glad to be a control since I am quite confident that sexual preferences aren't switched likes hats.

    I look forward to hearing your results.

    Yes but I read your posts anyway.

    Name one, just one scientific study thats backs your bs up with factual evidence that a child can know their gender is different before going through puberty. Just one. This kind of sick and perverted theory could not be more dangerous to a child. Its beyond revolting you would pretend this is accepted by any credible scientist.

    The lunacy in diagnosing any child with any non conformist attitudes towards traditional gender roles before puberty with the mutilation of their biological makeup with drugs is nothing short of barbarism.

    Are you really so far gone you have never met a girl for example who grew up as a tomboy who didn't grow up to be a lesbian? Do you have any idea the idiocy and warped state of mind you have to possess to even have such a thought?

    The disgusting part is you and your ignorant beliefs. To pretend a child that hasn't gone through puberty can even fathom what it is to be a boy or a girl before their sexual organs have developed to the point you would manipulate that development with drugs is barbarism of the highest degree and anyone who would partake in that practice is a child abuser of the highest order.

    The only people who regard the Southern Poverty Law Center as a "hate group" are far right wingers, skinheads, white supremacists and bigots.

    Near as I can tell, "klu-klux-klan" means "southern poverty law center" when translated into English.

    Here is a very short list of scientific studies, prefaced by some organizations that provide support and would have more educational information. There are thousands more studies and research papers.

    I would say "enjoy" but I am entirely positive no one who thinks a "tomboy girl" actually would likely have GID would EVER spend even ONE MINUTE on reading ANYTHING factual or scientific on the issue before working and campaigning to make these troubled people suffer more.

    Just like with autism and homosexuality, it seems the Right simply believes if these children had a tough disciplinarian father and a submissive mother, they would soon be beaten into "proper behavior".

    Not a single study you produced talked about children needing to be drugged to change their gender before puberty.

    You can't even back up your own barbaric practices.

    I do find it interesting you claim crossers are suffering from a disease like autism.

    BTW, nothing, absolutely ZERO proof in any of those studies that people who think they are another gender have any medical proof other than psychological.
