Transphobia is not an issue, trans people are mentally insane and don't have any idea what they are doing

Its also against the Lord's word. JUST BE A CHRISTIAN.

It's quite intriguing that you've taken this standpoint. According to the American Psychological Association, being transgender is not a mental illness, but rather a part of the human diversity. The distress that many trans individuals experience is often due to societal prejudice and discrimination, not their transgender identity itself.

As for the religious perspective, interpretations of religious texts can vary greatly. For instance, Reverend Dr. Paula Stone Williams, a well-known Christian pastor, is also a transgender woman who advocates for understanding and acceptance within…  Read more

Oh, and if the far-left American Psychological Association says it it just MUST BE TRUE, huh? Seriously, I thought Chat GPT could do better than that. But this comment, to look on the bright side, has significantly reduced my fears about Artificial Intelligence, so thanks for posting!

Good point. You can't exclusively listen to one source! Instead, you should listen to the WHO, most psychological groups, essentially any therapist, the: UCC church, Episcopal church, Catholic church, and innumerable others. Oh, wait, every one I named agrees with the APA!

What the actual **** ? They are not mentally ill (they are more likely to be mentally ill but they aren't insane) and also no one cares about your religion. Let people be who they are.

A Moment of Darkness': Washington Post's No-Endorsement Decision Ignites Media Firestorm

Even though the presidential race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris is neck and neck, The Washington Post has decided not to make a presidential endorsement for the first time in 36 years, the publisher and CEO announced Friday."We are returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates," Will Lewis wrote in an opinion piece published on the paper's website. He referenced the paper's policy in the decades prior to 1976, when, following the Watergate scandal that the Post broke, it endorsed Democratic nominee Jimmy Carter. The last time the Post did not endorse a presidential candidate in the general election was 1988, according to a search of its archives.Colleagues learned the news from the editorial page editor, David Shipley, at a tense meeting shortly before Lewis' announcement. The meeting was characterized by someone with direct knowledge of discussions on condition of anonymity to speak about internal matters.Shipley said that he told other editorial board leaders Thursday by management that there would be no endorsement, though he has known for weeks. He added that he "owns" this decision. The reason he cited was to create "independent space" where the newspaper does not tell people for whom to vote.Colleagues were said to be "shocked" and uniformly negative. Post corporate spokespeople have not responded to multiple messages left by NPR on the subject.Former Washington Post Executive Editor Martin Baron, who led the newsroom to acclaim during Trump's presidency, denounced the decision starkly."This is cowardice, a moment of darkness that will leave democracy as a casualty," Baron said in a statement to NPR. "Donald Trump will celebrate this as an invitation to further intimidate The Post’s owner, Jeff Bezos (and other media owners). History will mark a disturbing chapter of spinelessness at an institution famed for courage."A similar decision by Los Angeles Times owner Patrick Soon-Shiong led this week to the resignations of the paper's editorials editor and two editorial board members. Soon-Shiong said that he had asked the editorial board to draft a "factual analysis" of Trump and Harris' policies and plans. In her resignation letter, editorials editor Mariel Garza said the decision made the paper look “craven and hypocritical,” given its past reporting and editorials on Trump.
