Spending your time watching videos about transgendered individuals, again?

Spending your time watching videos about transgendered individuals, again?

I study everything related and regularly update myself concerning the human condition, right and wrong, good and evil, etc.
So, it would be nice if you got your head out of the gutter and get a little basic respect.

What I mean by that is there is criticism and then there is "mockery". One of the reasons why those on this board are bigots, is because mockery is a form of bigotry. It's not the only form of bigotry those engage in here, but it's a major one. And nearly every one of you engage in mockery toward me, LDS, the Church, etc. I'm critical.... yes, but I never mock.

What should I be respecting? Your constant belittlement and insults aimed at nearly every person around you who does not share your exact same opinions?

Make better choices, ffaqs.

A popular right-wing activist with extreme, discredited views about LGBT people is making the media rounds to talk about Caitlyn Jenner, peddling the myth that many transgender people end up regretting transitioning.

Walt Heyer, contributor for the rabidly anti-LGBT web magazine The Federalist, appeared on the June 2 edition of CNN Newsroom to comment on Vanity Fair's cover story about Caitlyn Jenner's decision to publicly identify as a transgender woman.

Heyer's life story has made him a pseudo-celebrity in anti-LGBT circles; in his forties, he decided to transition to living life as a woman, only to transition back to living as a man less than a decade later. Since then, he's pushed the debunked claim that transgender people often experience regret after transitioning, arguing that what transgender people actually need is "psychiatric or psychological help."

On CNN, Heyer warned that Jenner might regret her decision to transition, comparing transitioning to "going down to the bar" and "wak[ing] up with a hangover".

Heyer made similar arguments while appearing on a segment for CNN International.

But while he was granted a platform to comment on transgender issues, Heyer's experience isn't reflective of the experiences of the overwhelming majority of transgender people; he even admits that he was "misdiagnosed" and was actually suffering with "a dissociative disorder that required talk therapy, not surgery." His views about transitioning aren't rooted in research or medical expertise. The idea that many transgender people experience "transition regrets" has been widely debunked and contradicts the positions of major professional medical organizations, which all view transitioning as an important and beneficial step for people who identify with a gender identity that doesn't correspond with their biological sex.

When he's not appearing on a major cable news network, Heyer is a source of extreme transphobic commentary. He's called gender reassignment surgery a "modern day frontal lobotomy," asserted that parents who help their children transition should be punished with "at least 20 years in prison," and has called Chaz Bono a "poser transgender" because "she has resisted having a 'Snoopy' attached."

That kind of extremism has made Heyer a favorite of anti-gay hate groups, including MassResistance and Americans for Truth About Homosexuality, who tout his story as proof that being transgender is a mental problem that can be treated or cured. But it also makes Heyer an odd choice for mainstream media outlets, which should be emphasizing the commentary of experts rather than fringe voices.

See edit above.... and learn something, both of you instead of just believing what you are told.

Lemmie, just because somebody said it doesn't make it actually true. Do some actual study and learning for yourself on people and subjects.
I study all sides, you should learn to do the same. For example, I presented a video above. I've watched many "pro" transgender videos also.
I've studied all the various research, both sides. I judge for myself, rather than just believe what feels good for me like you all do.

Caitlyn Jenner shouldn’t worry about “transition regrets”: Why Walt Heyer’s transphobic comments are a bigger challenge

The conservative commentator and anti-LGBT activist peddles transphobic nonsense on CNN

Anti-LGBT activist Walt Heyer is not an expert on trans issues. The conservative commentator, who lived as a woman for nearly a decade before transitioning back to living as a man, gained notoriety for spouting intensely transphobic views based on his own experience — and not on research. And yet Heyer appeared on CNN on Tuesday to discuss Caitlyn Jenner’s appearance on the cover of next month’s Vanity Fair, as well as his discredited belief that transgender people often regret the decision to transition.

"This doesn’t always last,” Heyer said of the joy Jenner has expressed at transitioning. “It’s sort of like going down to the bar and you’re having a good time and you drink it up good, and then you wake up with a hangover.”

Research — including a study cited by CNN host Carol Costello — has shown that the incidence of “transition regret” is extraordinarily low, with some estimates wildly contradicting claims that feelings of contrition are rare. One Swedish study indicated that an overwhelming 95 percent of transgender people experienced positive outcomes from transitioning, despite the persistence of myths peddled by people such as Heyer.

As Media Matters’ Carlos Maza points out, Heyer himself has admitted that his situation was rare and that his gender dysmorphia was misdiagnosed:

Heyer’s experience isn’t reflective of the experiences of the overwhelming majority of transgender people; he even admits that he was “misdiagnosed” and was actually suffering with “a dissociative disorder that required talk therapy, not surgery.” His views about transitioning aren’t rooted in research or medical expertise. The idea that many transgender people experience “transition regrets” has been widely debunked and contradicts the positions of major professional medical organizations, which all view transitioning as an important and beneficial step for people who identify with a gender identity that doesn’t correspond with their biological sex.

Maza also notes that Heyer’s ideas, favored among anti-LGBT groups such as Americans for Truth About Homosexuality, are fringe, and not necessarily an ideal guide to responding to Jenner’s coming out. Heyer has advocated imprisoning parents who assist their children in transitioning, fanning the flames of hate and stigma toward an already marginalized group.

Did you just write that?????

I keep trying to type, and then I just keep laughing. And laughing, and laughing, and laughing.

I would tell you to look in the mirror, ffuuqqs, and repeat to yourself five thousand times, 'JUST BECAUSE SOMEBODY SAID IT DOESN'T MAKE IT TRUE," but since you have been posting this stupidly for going on two decades, I know it won't do any good.

All I can say is, I'm sorry for the limited intellectual level you struggle with. People here are doing kind things for you, maybe you could consider taking some of their kind advice. Even if you just directed your psychologist to this site and asked him/her to read a few of your posts I'm sure you could get some helpful feedback. Beyond that, just keep in mind that the hate you spew out online will always be returned to you.
