Nation's first transgender homecoming queen

I know all about discrimination, I am a white male living in 2013. If you don't think every single type of race, gender religious or sexual orientation person is discriminated against in this day and age, it isn't me who needs to read the book.

 

Funny how hatefulness and prejudice is now "normal" and "beautiful" but congratulating a dark skinned Miss America and a transgender prom queen is hateful.

Gender is a social construct. Obviously, physical genitals are a physical reality, but they are not the be all and end all of gender identity. I'd like to think men are more than their dicks, although sometimes I wonder.

Most people really don't give a damn about prom queens once they are out of high school. There is no evidence this young woman (who is not a "guy in girl's clothes") committed any crimes, cheated on her SAT, kneecapped her opponent or anything else. Not even a claim she's not pretty enough. Rep to Denny for saying it's her classmates' decision. Of course, considering how many can't respect the decision of the whole damn country to elect a president, twice, I'm not surprised that many of the same folks can't respect these high school students either.

 

Land of make believe sounds just about perfect for the world you have created for yourself.

 

About the same % of people couldn't accept when W beat Gore in the first election

 

So only laws = Discrimination?

 

I guess the first place I would point to is that poor black students today have a better opportunity for scholarships than poor white students according to a study I read over the summer.

Black people complained, and rightfully so, that they weren't be represented in tv commercials, so now they have to have a black person in them, but no one complains about sports and not having enough whites in them.

My sons little league was forced to give a black family a reduction in it's fees because they couldn't afford it, but did not offer the same for the white family right behind them, saying that the black family would sue for discrimination.

A black police officer approached me at a mall that is in a shitty part of town to tell me I shouldn't be there. I asked if the people in this area are allowed to go to the mall by my house, and he laughed and said "of course" I said then I should be allowed to go the this mall without any trouble. He escorted me out of the mall "for my own safety" because black people were complaining I was there.

Or the fact that I am looked at as the devil for things that happened over 100 years ago simply because I am white

 

As is it laughable when you do in this day and age

 

You might be on to something, she has more balls than you. Now that would account how the creator messing up the blend. You two were the result.

But really you have to know the creator gave us conservatives all you progressives so we would have plenty of targets when the civil war starts. Tally five and you make Terminator status.
Most of you shun guns so it's like a turkey shoot.

 

Thank you!

 

If you really want to know, I believe that God is.

here is a link that mirrors my thinking in depth http://drtristacarr.wordpress.com/2013/01/08/diffusing-the-transgender-christian-debate/

I dont believe that gender is a issue in Gods eyes. Thats why my first reply was a short and sweet John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, and who so ever believes in him...." The term who so ever is all inclusive.

Here is another short read you may enjoy as well. You may be supprised in the variety of sources my reading material comes from. http://planetransgender.blogspot.com/2009/11/transgender-christ-on-path-less-taken.html

 

ok, so there are several schools of thought on the issue. I have to adimt that there has been quite a shift from my day in school. To be fair, I have done some reading to understand your POV. This was a interesting read http://planetransgender.blogspot.com/2009/11/transgender-christ-on-path-less-taken.html

 

I think that interpretation has merit. I went back and read your responses, and they were actually fairly reasoned. Not that I agree with you, I don't find transgendered people gross at all, but your statements have not been inflammatory. I do hope that you look past those views (or grow beyond them) and are eventually able to see gender as inconsequential, but I do hope you also understand that this is a real person, a teenager, and someone who really was crying and shaking from her perceived pain. We are adults, and regardless mine or your beliefs, no need to crush any teenagers feelings who is not harming other people.
