Show of Hands

As I mentioned below, I don't doubt there are conservatives who actually care. But republicans in our government only seem to care when it's convenient.

Being transgender isn't a mental illness.

Stop with the excuses and trying to blame the other side. When has the right ever cared about if they trigger somebody or not.

I don’t go around trying to irritate anyone. I’m sorry on behalf of those who do... it’s unchristian and shameful.
• We’ll have to agree to disagree about transgenderism. I’m convinced it’s a delusion, just like those who think they’re rabbits or kitty-cats. We don’t help them by playing along with their delusion, and I think we should treat the transgendered the same way. I assume you realize that there is no possible way for a man to become a woman or vice versa. That would require replacing every chromosome in every cell of their bodies from XY to XX or XX to XY. “Gender reassignment surgery” is just a placebo which mutilates the body in a feeble attempt to imitate the opposite sex. But I’ve stated my case, and I don’t want to upset you by arguing, knowing what your family’s dealing with. We’re still praying.
• And I only respect a tiny handful of Republicans in Washington. 😃

Lol I wouldn't get upset by argument.

Oh, go fuck yourself.

Literally everything. They never bring it up outside of when they need an excuse.

Not to mention opposition to medical marijuana, they are in favor of prisons holding mentally ill people, and are actively working to make all health care, including mental health care, harder to obtain

You say the right care about mental health, Ronald Reagan your god hero shut it down. and yet you ask for specifics... like a cop looking for an admission. You see folks an admission is stronger than evidence . It’s a question geared toward an unprepared mind. You make any kind of admission and they use it against you.. this is the facist mind at work...

@bower, what do you mean "literally everything"? I'm not being rhetorical, I'm genuinely not following you. If you talk about breaking laws, we throw people in jail for breaking them, then try to figure out how to prevent it in the future.

I mean I don't see any republicans discussing mental health in Congress.

Oh okay, maybe it's just me then. I know that public health is a public expenditure, which means increased taxes. So I can see why a lot of folks would be opposed to it.

“[gay and trans people] need help, not encouragement!”

*realizes there are no proven scientific methods to make them “normal;” decides we should just oppress them forever instead*

I don’t know why that posted twice, sorry.

Gay and lesbianism isn’t a perversion.. your fear and hatred of them is.. they’re just good people, loving their lives

They are. I was quoting the far right.

Except you pave been conditioned to think your superior. It’s you who are brainwashed, slave..

Dude, relax! I’m 100% pro-lgbt. Notice the quotation marks.

Ok, but I don’t “relax” for anyone.... anyone ..

Alcerus, I have no reason to believe you personally don't care about mentally ill people and I assume you do. It's just the GOP in government doesn't.

Nope, the people who voted don’t care ,,, that’s how the people you voted are going to react,,,, your responsibile,,, unbelievable your follow and vote for and put in power for your beliefs, they follow you... your the boss,,,, that’s freedom remember ...

If you don’t like what they do then vote em out, that’s what your gonna do right...

@bower8899 You quite literally don’t know what you’re talking about.

Oh really? I am mentally ill, I have a stake in this and its one of the things I religiously follow in politics.

Sorry for the lack of reply, Bower. My phone died last night. I was just going to say that people have the right to their opinions on gay and trans people, and that research is being conducted on chemical and physiological causes for gay and trans mentality. There must be some kind of genetic or chemical difference between straight and gay, so that's what they're looking into. With the premise that sexuality-based mental illnesses can be cured. I think it's a waste of money, but I'm just saying that sexuality is apparently something that can be changed with science

I mean it's been all but proven the main cause of this is genetics which isn't something we can change at the moment
