friends call me HANK TOUGH

He got a very impassioned (but anonymized) dressing down from the professor at the next lecture, but apparently he ought to have emailed university leadership as well as everybody in the state GOP instead.

In my introductory psych class at a religious university, one classmate responded to a lecture on nature vs nature and a passing mention of “kids of gay couples turn out fine, btw” by emailing all of us a screed about how our textbook was wrong and satanic and corrupting God’s pure truth.

Eventually we’ll see the day when not everyone in Utah is two generations removed from a card-carrying member of the John Birch Society.

POV: you’re about to have your WR run in the Emerald Battle Factory crushed by the most bullshit RNG of all time

I hadn't seen the reposted art before, so I don't mind it at all!

holy shit lol

Genuinely incredible vindication of the point that this article refers to Nancy Mace as one of the normal ones

That sure didn’t last long, huh!

But is he going to clarify the implications of the (incoherent) idea that we should read the famproc’s gender as sex at birth, but also “binary creation is essential to salvation?” Are they going to explain whence intersex people and why they do not sin while trans people do? Don’t count on it.

Or the clarification actually makes things worse, as with Oaks’ statement that the Church has always believed gender and sex assigned at birth are synonymous. Unless he’s tacitly suggesting that intersex individuals were premortally intersex, but I would bet a large sum that he isn’t.

Normal people call them women, actually

the republican party is engaged in a cover up to keep the american people from learning whether president trump is president pedo

Even if we grant spirit birth and the inspiration of heterosexual marriage, that wasn’t the question! The question was how the church can be more welcoming to same-sex couples, which certainly seems like something they can work on in the community, irrespective of alleged doctrinal commitments

what the fuck are BIOLOGICAL PRONOUNS

stupid fucking conservative whiners

Take a look at UK's Labour government if you want an idea of how successful a liberal party is when it decides to ignore pressure from the "far left" (read: ignores its constituents because it thinks transgender people are weird and icky). What a joke.

We exist to make life better for other people. That’s why we have a sacred duty to treat trans people who actually want to be in the community worse than we treat actual sex offenders and abusers

Every time I write to this guy he sends me a bunch of mealy-mouthed pablum about how he believes in securing the border, or whatever

he ran on being one of the only non-MAGA moderates in Utah and then the nanosecond he got elected he fell in line like the rest of the useless GOP

if right wingers had any brains i would wonder what patel is thinking back there

Oh, Christ, I had forgotten all about that.

voice training to sound like the little quiplash gremlins

He also advised me to "think back to my childhood" when I knew I was a boy and wasn't confused, implied that most of the counselors at my university were woke and I needed to talk to one of the good ones, and ended our visit with "You know you're a man, and I know you're a man, and God knows too."

My family doctor I had been seeing for about eight years reacted to me coming out to him and asking about HRT by saying "Look, I have patients on HRT and I try to stick to the science, but..."

He then hit every talking point in the book. "They're lonely depressed people so they recruit others," etc

It doesn’t, but when every official pronouncement on gender amounts to “trans people have been confused by Satan” and they forbid transitioning and won’t take a stance on pronouns at all, it’s not hard for church members to fill in the blanks.

It’s ingenious, really. Leave members to fill in the blanks for themselves and be transphobic bigots by refusing to actually condemn transphobia, but when pressed on doctrine, they can throw their hands in the air and say “we’re just little guys with certain beliefs about gender!”

Sorry, what?? This makes me gag. I can't imagine.

Fuck off.

all i want is to one day own a modest sized home in a walkable neighborhood and raise money for shelter animals. wear an outfit i like, walk to the grocery store, buy some nectarines, feed cats, and live in peace. just don't understand why achieving this is so hard
