    If you're going to class gay and trans as mental disorders then religion needs to be right up there beside them.

    Belief in an imaginary person where no proof can be provide so that they are real, can't tell the difference between reality and illusion.

    Webmd
    https://www.webmd.com/schizophrenia/guide/delusional-disorder
    Delusions are the main symptom of delusional disorder. They’re unshakable beliefs in something that isn’t true or based on reality.

    How many people does it take to stop it being a delusional disorder and become a religion?

    Megan Markle is actually part black. Shawn King is an idiot.

    Where did you get your mental health degree that qualifies you to denigrate Christians?

    the scope of religion is far broader than the narrowly simple supernatural beliefs, it also covers the natural territory.
    People should be clear they are talking about dieties and a belief in a deity may or may not be a religion.

    Looking at Meghan Markle she is not the slightest bit black. So if blank has nothing to do with skin color or facial features or anything like that it has to do with what race your parents are then it means nothing.

    Technically we're all black cuz we could probably Trace our lineage all of us back to Africa at some point.

    Agreed about Sean King.

    From what I understand Megan Markle has at least one black parent or grandparent.

    I have two "black" grandchildren whose black relatives call them "quarterblacks". One has orange hair and looks as white as I do, and I am of Irish descent. Her brother looks hispanic. You just never know.

    that means her parent is black not her.
    Well sometimes Hispanic people are considered white. That's funny to me these concepts of racial purity.

    I am a fan of Trump on some things(without Trump, I doubt that Rowe vs Wade would be overturned, and I'm completely against Abortion in every aspect!), but don't blindly follow him, no. Trump isn't perfect, and neither am I, nor you as well. Yes, he does and says some stupid things, that he needs to learn to keep his mouth shut on, but what politician doesn't?

    I have no degree's in anything, nor did I ever profess too. I barely made it threw high school, and suck at book work.
    However, I have had severe depression since the age of 6ish, and been put on meds for them since then. I've had several mental health issues over the years, and know a lot about pills from those mental health issues(from studying up on them), as well as studying the mental health issues themselves. I've been to the psych ward 4 times, and tried killing myself over 24 times. 4 times on a 220 volt oven copper line, while plugged into the wall. Once ending up in the ICU for 3 days on life support. When I woke up, they told me, that if they had stopped pushing good drugs into me, that my liver would have failed. Do, to the Grace of God, I no longer attempt try killing myself any more. I have a lot of street smarts, logic, morality, and common sense. and just because someone has a degree, doesn't mean that they have any of those things. Unfortunately, the Democrat Politicians within America, push, and tell people, that those are thee only things you need to have in life. Why is this? Because they control the schooling systems, for their propaganda reasons.

    Nobody, besides Jesus Christ, can truly know what is in anybody's mind. Not me, not you, and not anyone on here, can know that. We can simply go by our education, and stipulations, and educated guesses threw our experiences, and it also comes down to our intentions. We all judge one another, even though, nobody has thee right to do so, besides God.

    Having some homosexuals in the population (of a social species) is of value since they are less likely to reproduce and can therefore become added support for the children of their relatives, or are available to adopt the offspring of others who die or are otherwise unavailable or unable to raise them.

    Also, if you are a straight man it makes no sense to dislike gay men. Other men being gay means you have an increased chance of finding a mate.

    Not all post-graduates are believers. It simply means that we are familiar with the subject(s) we specialized in.

    When we begin to create alternative societies based on beliefs, the boundaries of reality become blurred. We revert to a childlike state in which the government becomes the parent and we the children stamp our foot if we can’t be Mickey Mouse, or choose which colour we want.

    For centuries, this type of affliction was classed as a mental disorder and it’s only through government and peer pressure that it was re-classified by psychiatrists as a ‘lifestyle choice” in the west. Outside the west this type of behaviour is almost always viewed as a mental disorder.

    A man who thinks he’s a woman trying to breastfeed a baby. A 52 year old male identifying as a six year old girl and a woman who married her cat!

    Where does it all end? Are rabbits to be given human rights? Do trans’ men need the birth control pill and are history books to be re-written to prove Nelson Mandela was the first man on the moon?

    If this is just the beginning, what is the next generation going to look like? In whichever society in history or whatever era you care to choose, this is not normal behaviour.

    It is not the left or right demanding degrees, it is corporate America.
    Also, do you want doctors helping people without graduating medical school?
    I went through most of my life without a degree, serving as an infantryman in the military for 20 years. I am pursuing a degree now for my own enjoyment and interests. Ive never felt pushed to get one, I just decided that now was a good time, and I didn’t want all that GI bill money going to waste. One thing I’ve seen from going to school is that the myth that they are cramming left wing propaganda down everyone’s throat is just that, a myth. It is just lies that politicians tell their base so that they can justify slipping their own propaganda in. I have never once felt pressured to buy into any political propaganda from any ideology while in a university.

    There is gay swans, the swan race is totally fine. There is plenty of races of animals that happen to get homosexual individuals without threatening the race.

    The aim of medicine is to cure things and to allegiate the suffering. The better way to not suffer for gay people is to accept they're attracted by the same gender.
    And it's possibly the same for many transgender people, even if some regreted their sex change, that's why such people in such suffering should be correctly helped.

    For the rest, I'm more a blind equalitarian, perceiving people considering their race appear to me to be just a neurosis most of the time.

    You tend to rely on the concept of nature, but the paradoxe of the concept of nature is that it is artificial. What's artificial is everything made by human, including our cognitions and philosophical concept such the one of "nature". If some animals are gay, is being homosexual still against nature ? And let get further, if we learn that transgender people have really for at least a part of them a neurological developmental that make them feel as woman, wouldn't be their wish to change of gender a natural thing as this neurological developmental construction came from a natural impulse even if it's rare.

    80% of swans are homosexual? Seriously, I didn't know that. Well, I suppose we'd all better identify as swans then.

    ~ That seems to be the concensus. I believe it was even back in the 1970's before all the brain imaging was available. Homosexuality / LGBT was a mostly biological condition of the brain. That's what I remember.
    As for the politics of all this — Democrats want to encourage a " victimhood " mentality by exaggerating the discrimination of a group that is less than 5% of the population.

    I wasn't aware that a womb no longer exists in gay women.

    What percentage of the population needs to be discriminated against in order for there to be legitimate 'victimhood'?

    Homosexuals were denied equal access in public accommodation and employment, so that got added to law.

    Homosexuals were denied equal access to marriage.

    So, that got fixed.

    Is that really something that you want to get butt hurt about?

    Did it harm you in some way?

    I do believe that within a century or so wisdom will be valued far more highly than mere knowledge.

    The very act of ignoring knowledge denies wisdom.

    Yet, significant portions of our society seem increasingly set on ignoring knowledge.

    What is it that will cause that trend to be reversed?

    If someone is single, they should try going on a dating site. Make sure you find a woman's profile, that says things, like she is either a liberal, or for gay rights, or for abortion, because she is more than likely a liberal.

    Then, simply ask her, if she is a trans man? In most cases they will reply with, why would you ask me that, or you're rude.

    But Wait!!!! Why would they be offended, if they're for Trans Rights, and ok with trans?

    It's because no real woman, wants to be treated like a man! or thought of one as it.
