    The left has targeted the Boy Scouts for years and successfully infiltrated. Time for Christians to abandon the original organization and work through their churches.

    This is terrible!

    An organization meant for children actually catering to and serving children and their individual needs?

    What is this world coming to? Decency? Humanity?

    Indeed. Christianity should in no way treat all children with dignity and respect.

    You should find out because it's miniscule. This is not about dignity and respect. This is about bringing down traditional Christian values. The Boy Scouts have always represented dignity and respect.

    Really? The Boy Scouts are attempting to bring down Christian values? By what, not being (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)s to a couple of kids?

    If they come across one, the child should be placed under psychological treatment.

    I was a Brownie and a Girl Scout.. and my brothers were Cubs and Boy Scouts. My father was an Eagle Scout.

    You say Scouting is all about respect.. and I agree that part of scouting is about respect and personal honor, brotherhood, preparedness.

    I joined the scouts in the 80s and even then we were more inclusive than just "Christian values." If the numbers are miniscule, then it must be nothing to complain about.

    All it takes is one freak to draw attention and disrupt.

    It's the same, it's mental illness.

    All it takes is a cursory knowledge of the Scout Law to know why this very comment is more of an affront to scouting values than transgender kids are.

    Your own source says it isn't. Try again. You are trying to cite modern health professionals despite the fact that they disagree with you on the subject.

    You want to take down scouting to appease a miniscule freak show?

    I disagree. If it was agreeable with Scout law then everyone would accept it.

    I believe it's a mental condition, and rare. Not worthy of inclusion. It's making a mountain out of an ant hill. This is typical of leftists. Transgenders are the latest victim class.

    Again, I'm not the topic. If you can't focus on the topic instead of me, then you're trolling.

    I have a feeling you don't know what the Scout Law is.

    Then believe what you believe, just don't claim that the medical community backs you on it when they don't.

    I believe I know what I'm talking about and I know the mental health community very well. We're from different political ideologies, that's all.

    Show me from Scout Law where I'm missing it.

    Boy scouts, in keeping with Christian values, should place a child under psychological treatment.

    Is that an accurate reiteration of your position on the matter?

    Then you would know they don't classify transgender as a mental disorder or illness. The fact you equated it with gender dysphoria and then cited an organization that says they aren't he same thing tells me that whatever "mental health community" you are talking about isn't any of the main ones.

    The mental health community doesn't care about either of our ideologies. This is a deflection. Quote any major mental health organization that classifies transgender as a mental disorder. Just one will do. No, your last one doesn't classify it as such.

    Calling people "freaks," even if they do have a mental illness (especially if they have a mental illness) is not helpful, friendly, courteous, kind or cheerful.

    Well, if a child believes they're the opposite gender then they're obviously confused or just playing pretend. Might be a good idea to find out.
