Until recently, the very same science you laud recognized homosexuality for what it is: a psychological illness.

and science and medicine evolved beyond that.

As to so-called Transgender people, they too are mentally ill. They have developed an alter-ego character in their minds which allows them to obfuscate, hide from, or address issues they have with themselves as they are. One does not change their sex, simply. A "woman" from Thailand who would put most actual woman to physical shame, if a genetic test is done, will be shown to be a male. What we have is a societal acceptance and encouragement of a mental illness, diagnosed as such, called gender dysphoria.

I'd have to disagree with the mentally ill aspect. One can't change their genetics, but they can change their physical form to match their gender identity which is the entire need for their validation. Studies have proven that transition and surgery are the only proven methods of treatment to alleviate the dysphoria. You can't "conversion therapy" someone out of being trans. You can't beat it out of them, you can't counsel it out of them. And unless you have some sort of professional medical training and experience in this field, you're definitely not qualified to speak to their mental status.

3) Why exactly does legality matter for pedophiles and not homosexuals and transgenders? The latter two used to be illegal in practice as well. They were illegal, as is pedophilia, because they are morally repugnant to be acted out and disturbing to be tempted towards. What will you say when, not if, it's legalized? Don't think it will happen? Think again. And when someone tries to groom a 10 year old boy, and the kid's dad pops two 12ga shells of buckshot into the Pedo, the dad will be the bigoted bad guy getting in the way of "love".

because Transgender people only physically affect their own lives by transitioning and having surgery. They aren't imposing physical alterations upon anyone else. Pedophilia is not a consentual act between two adults of sound mind and body. One is an adult with an attraction towards children with a very troubled mentality, the other is a child with an under developed mentality, who doesn't even hardly know what sex is or the implications behind it, let alone what love is.

5) Why? Love is love, right? What if some dude's dog humps his leg, and so he decides to let the dog screw him? If animals can make a decision to engage in homosexual behavior, as you have claimed, then what's the problem? What about when a couple build a sex chamber in their RV so they can screw their Husky? Was that not ok prior to 2007, when bestiality was finally made illegal in CO? Cus a couple in Aurora just got arrested for that very thing in April. Dude looks like a normal enough guy. She looks like she was probably a looker back in her own day... screwing the dog: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...x-chamber.html

thank goodness they were arrested.

Where do you draw the line on pedophilia and child porn? Is it 12? 13? Cus that's the age bracket of the youngest to ever be tried as adults in the US for 1st degree murder: https://abcnews.go.com/US/youngest-c...ry?id=32644967

18. that's where I draw the line.

6) There is much more to gestating a child to term than simply having a uterus. Hormonal changes, actual reactions and releases, occur. A transgender "woman" cannot produce eggs. They cannot produce any of the hormones necessary. It would be an entirely fictitious even nowhere on the level of an actual pregnancy and birth.

Nope, they can't produce them, but you can inject them and the sperm in there. They would have to the hormones injected, but it would be close enough for them and if that makes them happy, then who cares?

4) So if homosexual acts and attempted sex changes were once again made illegal, you'd just stuff all your pro-X arguments in a box? That's a rather milquetoast position if so. And why is it ok for a person to cause physical harm to themselves when acting out their mental illness, but not another

Ah, the old "what if" and "then" statements trick. No I wouldn't. But they won't be made illegal again, so I'll not worry about such a thing happening. No one is causing physical harm to themselves. You're rather ignorant on the subject, and as such, I'll have to recuse myself from further conversation with you because I simply can't argue or debate with the willfully ignorant who make blanket statements about people they have never met or interacted with. Good day.

I still don't know how you can say that the transgendered were killed for being transgendered, especially when the LEOs in the article you linked to said:

New Orleans police are about as incompetent in regards to transgender individuals as it gets. They wouldn't know if they were targeted or not and it's doubtful they even care. Southerners are very ignorant when it comes to trans people and issues, so forgive me if I take that statement with a grain of salt. Most police departments see murdered trans people as "just another dead tranny" and nothing more, nothing less and they care equally less.
