Remember Toxic Masculinity?---Dad Teaches Trans Son to Shave in Heartwarming New Gillette Ad

As a Christian, the only reason I have the power not to sin is because I have the Spirit of God in me. A non-believer doesn’t have the Holy Spirit and is a slave to sin. So, while I will never accede to the ideas of sin being beneficial, justifiable, or anything other than something that brings harm and destruction to the sinner, I don’t waste a lot of time trying to convince non-believers not to sin or even that specific things are sin. I’ll tell them what sin is and what is sin in their life, if they’ll listen, but conversion is the priority. I don’t pray that they stop sinning. I pray that the Holy Spirit convicts them of their sin and draws them to repentance so that they can experience the indescribable joy of being at peace with God. Their desire to sin will go in the toilet pursuant to that.
1 Corinthians 2 says “And when I came to you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God. For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.”
Paul knew that trying to convince sinners of the superior wisdom of God’s will by argument was pointless. We’re too dumb for that without God in us. He focused on the simple truth of the gospel – Jesus died for you, and here’s why – even though it’s a message that sounds foolish to the mortal mind. He didn’t try to convince the people who became the church in Corinth to stop sinning. Yes, they had to know that they were in sin, but becoming a Christian is not about making a list of things you know God doesn’t want you to do and signing a contract not to do those anymore. If that were it, we’d all be screwed. The conversion and reconciliation with God happens first, and the cessation of sin follows – usually most of it immediately, but temptation lingers for the rest of this life.
So, there’s nothing wrong with telling someone they’re sinning. That’s not hateful. But if all a Christian does is harp on someone for all the things they do wrong, rather than simply preaching Christ crucified, it’s hard to see how they’re loving that person.

I'm not referring about the Gillette commercial or their products. I'm referring about having to listen to a miniscule percentage of the population(LGBTQ) trying to make us feel guilty for not believing in their way of life. Ohhh, if I don't agreed with their chosen way of life I'm a bigot, hypocrite, Chauvinist low life human been.
You mean like limiting the freedom for a baker to decide what cakes they will or will not bake, limiting conservatives from speaking on campus or limiting conservatives from demonstrating on campus without being assaulted?
Liberals love to profess letting people live how they want, except when a person wants to do something the LIBERAL doesn't like.
hahahah. Yep. exactly. Hypocrisy on both sides.
better to have tyranny of the majority then, huh?
At what percentage of the population should things start to matter?
And of course, it's your choice whether you feel guilty. Just as it's their choice whether they feel they are 'sinful' or perverted or normal. What makes people hypocrites is when they profess wanting to live their own life free from interferences (especially from the government), yet support laws that will limit the rights of others.
I don't have any hate for the people themselves,,,
But I do have severe hate for the thought of forcing me to use their new pronouns.
Anyone has the right to try and live as they desire,,,
They do not have any right whatsoever to force me to change my language.
If it's all about tolerance,,,
They must tolerate me as well.

I am in favor of a CDC Proclamation that declares ‘Gender Identity Disorders’ to be CONTAGIOUS DISEASE requiring ‘ISOLATION and QUARANTINE’ on Plum Island, NY.....Well, that’s only my personal opinion and I have no direct or implied authority.....
