    What has this world come to.

    I know, what's the world come to when people can just live their lives, and not face (as much) abuse and criminalization? Oh dear, we can't simply lock up people who are different any more, woe oh woe.

    Why is this even noteworthy, he's supposed to believe this sort of crap, just read the bible . He wouldn't be a very good Pope if he didn'the believe in the nonsense in the bible


    Fairly sure the Bible doesn't weigh in on "gender theory", though what he means by gender theory is as of yet unexplained.

    That depends on your sexual orientation, I guess.
    Personally, I come to ladies. My gay brother most likely doesn't.

    I hope you do it as I've learned a lot about trans from your good self last year on the Kellie Maloney thread and would be great to have a dedicated place to help enlighten people who otherwise may be ignorant to someone's everyday experiences and way of life.

    Of course. I have a gay sibling myself and he likes boys obviously! I guess I just always thought/assumed that if a person were to transition that it would be a straight swap (no pun intended) and they'd like the opposite sex but then the more I think of that, the more I realise that gender and sexuality are two completely different things. Again, that's obvious to me when I say it aloud.

    Have you got links to that? I'm not aware of any doctor operating on a three year old.
    Well if you told us what you were talking about we wouldnt be jumping to conclusions.
    Seems fair to me too. I assumed Fran you were talking about sex reassignment surgery on 3 year olds.

    As others have said, you quite heavily implied it. As for being refered to a clinic for assessement, that's quite a different thing entirely. Eg, they'd likely be speaking to a psychologist with a background in that field. You know, like if someone was suffering from depression, they might speak to someone who's expertise is in depression. Your way of twisting something and being alarmist about it is quite amazing, have you considered writing for Alive?

    I don't know what society should be more afraid off.The fact that you both jumped to the ill founded conclusion that a 3yr old child could have been subjected to such an abomination or that you both were not shocked and requested links to both of your misguided assumptions.

    Now I'm probably wasting my time in asking a question and expecting to receive an answer but God loves a trier so here goes.In relation to a prepubescent minor do you both accept that a parents decision regarding there child,in a matter such as this,should veto all other courses of action?

    Why did you make up such a lie Fran?

    By Oden's raven, is disingenous your middle name? Neither of us jumped to any such conclusion, you were the one who said something about sex changes for 3 year olds, I said that this plainly wasn't true and then you backpedaled and said that oh no you weren't talking about a sex change. Joey asked you for a link or some source of whatever the **** it is you were talking about, and honestly? I don't think anyone is any the wiser when you're using such utter hyperbole as "subjected to torturous treatment/abomination/abhorrent practices" so maybe done down the fire & brimstone and talk properly.

    Parental consent for a minor is needed for all medical treatment, is it not? Here you are, implying something yet again, you're utterly impossible to have any kind of discussion with because of all these kind of dishonest tactics you use, it's mind-numbing and frustrating. I mean seriously, what the ruddy feck do you expect me to say, "NO! For it is the will of Stein's Gate!"?

    Thats an impressively underhanded and deceptive and nasty attempt to smear Fran.

    But No.

    No you wont get away with a nasty smear attempt like that.

    Of course it would be disgusting and barbaric if three year olds were given sex change operations. That was why I asked for proof of your assertions.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    I think Boards need to do something about such poisonous activity being advertised on the open forums for all and sundry to see. What if there is some sorry soul out there who is going through some tough times and has somehow found themselves here, seeing all of you talk about it as though it's as normal as making a sandwich. They may very well end asking themselves questions about whether they are actually the opposite sex if they have bought into the tripe of being "born into the wrong body". Is this what you people want for our society,absolute mayhem ? Our daughters and wives going into the women's toilets and being confronted by men claiming to actually be women ? What planet are you lot on !?! We'd have nobody left on this particular planet the way things are going, never mind eggs, we'll be freezing humans before the next century.

    You implied it was a sex change operation so yep, you refused to provide us links to what you were claiming. You appear to view it as abhorrent to go to a psychologist. Psychologists are highly beneficial however much you wish to view psychology as horrifying..... In future though, you should provide links to what you're doing before rushing to misrepresent.

    And again

    Where is your scientific evidence of danger?

    Yes. This is definitely going to become a huge trend, fuelled by sexually voracious males looking for new and different ways to terrorise "our" daughters and wives.

    I think maybe you have tinfoil knickers.

    It would be easier to take you seriously if you werent going on about morality earlier. Who are you to talk to anyone about morality? But considering your ventures to AH tend to be to give out about some form of LBGT people until you get banned taking you seriously was never going to happen regardless.

    The only thing nuclear weapons have in common with transgender people is that they're best kept out of the hands of the Russians.

    gotta laugh at Pope Frannie, I wonder has his PR guy quit in the last while. I forget his name but he had big credentials and pretty much conned the world into believing we had a progrssive Pope. The mask has horribly slipped in the last 5 weeks which makes me think that there's stuff going on in the background that we dont yet know of.

    Time will tell but in the meantime he's lost some serious credibility in the last few weeks and its all of his own making.

    that phrase comes to mind -'better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you're a fool than to open it and remove all doubt'

    Pretty much sums up 2015 thus far for Pope Franny

    This guy was being praised from all corners after getting the papacy, turns out it's just a case of same old, same old and another bigot.



    Wheres the nuclear weapons quote about transgendered people ?

    .....There isn't one. Made up bs by cultural marxists.#


    Heres what he said :""Let's think of the nuclear arms, of the possibility to annihilate in a few instants a very high number of human beings," he continues. "Let's think also of genetic manipulation, of the manipulation of life, or of the gender theory, that does not recognize the order of creation."


    ....Hes simply asking people to consider things he regards as destructive to life.

    Let me get this straight, you're worried that someone might come along, read that transgender people exist, and this very whiff of knowledge suddenly and unexpectantly warps their sexual identification and gender identity completely!? That someone just learns of trans people and goes "OMG, I MUST JOIN THEIR RANKS!"?



    You see, I go around recruiting people. I go "Do you wanna make a contract with me and become a mahou shoujo transgender person?" Yup, that's it. That's how it works. Can't possibly be that people are just born this way, like all that scientific evidence says. Nope, too easy an explanation. :)

    The funny thing is, Heavy was going on like "Oh if we even talk about this, people will be in such danger, oh noes!" Well then, why are you fecking talking about it? I really don't enjoy coming along and countering every piece of nonsense that gets posted on here, there's a hell of a lot of other things I'd rather be chatting about on boards, I'm just childish and I hate to lose. But this is seriously gibbering conspiracy theory level talk here, transgender people really are just like regular people, we're not trying to reign over a new world or something. I'm as average as the next person, I'll take a potato chip and I'll eat it.
