A Post About Healthcare, Transgender/Women's Issues, And Ableism

[Jordan Gwendolyn]

This is something I posted on another forum, and pretty much do not feel like reposting the whole content here, but I invite a discussion.

It sounds stupid, but I can't know for sure until the link works.

Damn, this thread attracts Sargent and Vander Blubb and no one else?

Welcome to the forum.

Anyway, it's customary here to not just link and leave: you should post some additional unique content that would lead us to believe you're not just advertising yourself.

They should've thought about things before their surgery. I'm wondering how they afforded such a thing. I mean that money could've gone towards helping the poor right?

[??????????]

tl;dr

I like how the poster acknowledges that she has mental problems.  It certainly explains this essay, which I didn't bother to read.  The GOP will never appeal to low-income, transgendered, retarded people and they shouldn't bother trying.

LOL it's such a small demographic. All retarded people are Democrats anyway for the welfare, even though few Republicans have suggested cutting disability benefits.

Most of the posts in this thread are ignored, but oh well. I wouldn't go so far, but transphobia and anti-feminism probably factor in alot too.

When people say "Don't tread on me" I just say "then quit blocking the sidewalk I paid for with MY tax dollars."

What does that have to do with health care for transgenders? And did I miss something? Since when did it become ok to be transgender?

Since when did it become okay for you to post here?

Sighs, I suppose those of you who are obsessed with transgendering yourselves are also into NAMBLA? Where is the decency line anymore? Where are our values? Where is the morality? The democrats are a party of this no more! George Wallace and even JFK would've never thought such a thing to be acceptable. It's not normal, it's not natural, it's not safe, it's what happens when we send our kids to school all day instead of keeping them at homes with their mothers so that they can be raised properly.

What does FTW mean?  I suck so bad at internet shorthand.

Clearly you were kept at home a bit too much, given you never seem to have had any contact with the real world.

Yes my parents kept me away from transgenders and pedophiles. Was your babysitter a transgender?

[k-onmmunist]

I am transgendered and would appreciate it if you don't compare me to a paedophile.

But then again, in your narrow mind, I doubt you know much better.

I came nowhere near comparing the two. I'm saying that my parents kept me away from both as I will do the same with my kids one day. Does anyone actually feel that either is appropriate?

Seeing as you've spent most of your thread being pretty openly prejudiced, I don't think I'm wrong for thinking you are insinuating as such.

Wow you really got me. I am prejudiced against pedophiles. Proud of it too.
