    1. @Annie Paulson Umm… I believe in God, but also science. There are scientifically more than two sexes, chromosomes are a lot more complicated than that.

    1. @Alison Fastabend No one even bothers with you regardless. Stop shoving your phases on people’s business. No one bats an eye if you identify as a fridge 😉

    2. @Alison Fastabend yeah ok. I tried. Just so you know I think you’re awesome and I have so much respect for you. I know it doesn’t mean much but just know you are 100% valid and 100% awesome! ❤️❤️

      LEVITICUS DIDN’T ADDRESS HOMOSEXUALITY AS WE KNOW IT. IT WAS ADDRESSING THE CANAANITES. A FERTILITY CULT. IN ORDER TO WORSHIP THEIR GODS THEY DO HAIRCUT, WEAR MIXED FABRICS AND THEY PRACTICED HOMOSEXUALITY. A PRIEST GO TO THE TEMPLE WITH ANOTHER MALE. AND THEY HAD SEX.
      GOD GIVE RULES TO SEPARATE HIS PEOPLE TO CANAANITES. HE FORBIDS THE THINGS THAT THEY USED TO WORSHIP THEIR FALSE GOD.
      HE FORBIDS HAIRCUT AT LEVITICUS 19:27
      HE FORBIDS MIXED FABRICS AT LEVITICUS 19:19
      HE FORBIDS GAY SEX AT LEVITICUS 18:22

      THOSE THINGS ARE NOT BAD THINGS. GOD FORBIDED THEM BECAUSE OF THE BAD INTENTIONS OF PEOPLE WHO WERE DOING IT. TODAY THOSE THINGS ARE NOT USED TO WORSHIP ANYMORE SO HAIRCUT, MIXED FABRICS AND HOMOSEXUALS ARE OK.
      THE OLD TESTAMENT IS OUTDATED.
      USING IT AGAINST GAY PEOPLE IS AS STUPID AS USING IT AGAINST PEOPLE THAT EATS PIG OR DO HAIRCUTS.

    4. Wait, Erick Smith has seen McBride’s ID card? How? Where? Is this guy some pervert who likes to stalk others?

      I agree with biology.
      But what I am seeing right now is clearly a woman, it is just confusing to call her a man. Imagine a child seeing you calling her a man. The child would be like O_o. I thought you people didn’t want children to be confused ?
      I can’t see why it is so hard for you to say she ? I mean what does that cost you to make someone feels being accepted ? Calling her “he” does absolutely no good to anyone. Instead it will just have a negative effect on her life which will influence the one she knows.
      So my question is what are the benefits for society when you call her a man ? How much happiness it creates ?

  1. All of this stuff doesn’t have the innocent feeling it used to have. Everything feels like it has a sinister undertone now.

    1. @krinkov545 trans people deserve rights because they are people. Anyone who thinks otherwise either has been taught by their parents, or is too stupid to realize that these people are human

    1. No. She’s the first trans person to have that much inuence in the government, no trans person has ever had that high of a position before.

    2. Ozzy the Bun oohh right, thank you! Bc shes the first senator, shes also the highest any trans lawmaker has made it ?!!!

  2. Yikes. We live in a country where hospitals, companies will pay thousands of dollars changing their bathrooms and door tags to fit it with pc world yet, won’t give their employees .40 cent raise.

    1. Yeah, ya know… Maybe we should vote in people who aren’t rich trust fund babies who have the corporations’ hands in their pockets?
