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

Yes. Our language is in danger. If you read excerpts from our Colonial Period, Revolutionary and Civil War, even the less educated spoke and wrote with superior expression and form. It’s fading away for cheap, street punk.

i'm guessing there is a lot about our society and it's language that would be judged harshly. And i doubt our current topic would be the first in line for judgement.

But our language will continue to evolve (or devolve, if you must). And expression and form changes along with it.

What would Shakespeare thought of Jefferson's writings? What would Jefferson have thought of Faulkner (who, by the way, has a 1,288 word sentence in 'Absalom, Absalom!').

But i think the issues at play with this have more to do with how our society views and values education than it does how it views who gets to use what potty.

And i think you write very well. I noticed it right away. I disagree with many things you've said, but you do say it eloquently.

When the Jewish people established the nation of Israel, people came from all over the world. They spoke a wide variety of languages but they needed one in common. They chose Hebrew which pretty much fit all criteria of a dead language. It was used for prayer, ceremony, and study. Everybody knew it but nobody "spoke" it.

The old men noticed children in the street contracting some words, and abusing others creating slang, They said "You kids get off my language." They didn't realize that Hebrew was alive again, as it should be.

Thank you for the longer explanation. I still disagree that there is some master plan to destroy our nation, though.

And how it makes you feel is valid, but i give it the same weight as how i do how it might make the other people in your story or that i would to transgender or gay military veterans.

As to society's behavior, well i think there are many things that come into play and i'm also thankful that it's not up to any of us to determine what is and isn't allowed.

I have no problem with people who express the types of feelings you do, just to be clear. But i don't like when folks try to codify such things and use the power of government to enforce it (which i am not accusing you of, merely clarifying)

Consider this:
In the early 1923, Frankfurt University, a department called the Institute for Social Research was established with a grant obtained from Felix Weil who was a German millionaire’s son and a Marxist. There, he collected a number of Marxist Ideologues to work out the details, differences and strategies for promoting Marxism. Their first conclusion was that although Marxism was a economic and social political ideology and because it had to be established by a country’s citizens, it was first necessary to make it acceptable to those citizens. Political Correctness was determined as the strategic tools. They also engaged the assistance of Sigmund Freud to develop methods for influencing public opinion.

Most of the Professors and Ideologues were Jewish and the Academic Staff immigrated to the USA with the help of Columbia University Professors. They were transplanted into Universities, Hollywood and the OSS (predecessor of the CIA).

Marxist Academics have passed on their cause and never abated their efforts. They have managed to instill an ideological acceptance of socialism in many well educated American University Students and many have carried the campaign out into corporate America.

In the 1960s Saul Linsky’s Marxist How to Book ‘Rules for Radicals’ made its debut. Hillary Clinton was a protege of Saul Alinsky (Well, I’ll Be...). He pioneered the strategies for involving youth, political agitation etc. There’s also a Political Organizers Handbook (can’t find it) that these little subversives use like a bible.

Their legacy of these Marxist Pioneers now reside in Academia, Film Entertainment, Media and Journalism, Politics, Government, and our Intelligence Services.

That’s a good question, but it’s not very relevant. When considering the entirety of the Bible, it cannot concluded in good faith that homosexual acts are not sinful (assuming a belief, as the Bible teaches, that the Bible is true and God doesn’t change). The Bible is so unequivocal about this issue that any other conclusion is clear evidence that someone has an ulterior motive and is a false teacher.

Of course there was a time when being born with an X and a Y chromosome and a penis meant you were male. So if we’re basing things on the post-modern concept of “truth” you could say the Bible says homosexuality is good and cisgenderism is sin. But that wouldn’t make it truth. Let’s just stick to reality.

Actually it's very relevant as someone just disagreed with the severity of the sin. Per usual, you have different interpretations of what the bible says or means, it's a constant contradiction. Hint: You even have homosexual christians and clergy. Of course you will say they are false teachers and they would probably say that of you. The message is constantly convoluted and manipulated to fit the moral fiber of the day.

FWIW Cisgenderism wouldn't be a sin. Go look up the meaning.

I know that is how it seems. I’m praying that one day you will be able to experience the truth for yourself.

Well bless your heart....your prayers have been answered then. Hence my disposition towards most man made religions.

If you wouldn’t mind me asking, what religion(s) do you have a more favorable disposition toward? If you’d rather not answer, no worries.

Ones that can honestly live and let others live, preferably without a longstanding history of oppression.

What oppression are you referring to?

I'm just going to drop this little nugget here for the "christians" around here....

If you were to study the Bible more, you would realize that Christians MUST judge. Otherwise, how else would we know with whom it is that we don't want to associate.
