I have no problem referring to him as "he, him, his" because if he is a biological male and gay, he is still a he, him, his regardless. But, if it offends him, then I can refer to him by his name. I'd hate to have the children that might be around, become confused as to how "gender" works. Costume is for pretend, and one can pretend anything they wish. Just don't mislead the children as to what is real and true. After all, aren't we supposed to base our knowledge on science(or factual evidence)?

The poster most likely knows the difference between "digest" and "digress".

My granddaughter's school had a boy that wanted to be a girl and changed his name to a girl name. The school requested all to call him by his new girl name. Instead they called him by his last name.

Today's education lesson for Miss OrangeBlossomBaby,

Judge ye not, lest ye be so judged

Are there any limits to what is to be "accepted", however those impacted got there they have substansule issues , and again there is no reason to make their lives anymore difficult, at the same time to lose sight of reality can not be healthy, certainly not for the greater society and in the long run the individual. In a former life I had ,from time to time deal with individuals in crisis , one basic rule was never enter into that person fantasy or delusion, I learned to always be pragmatic but at the same time my experiences left me with more compassion . The world is a real place that has to dealt with as it is , ignore facts at your peril

That was me, posting an intentionally ignorant phrase, to support the idea that some people are really ignorant. The irony that you didn't grasp that, does not escape me at all.

So - someone who was born a woman, but had a complete hysterectomy, and no longer has eggs, ovaries, or a uterus, is not a woman? What is she, if she's not a woman? I need to tell my sister since - she had a hysterectomy 15 years ago and probably needs to be informed.

So, you're saying those people that lost one eye are now Cyclopes...
How about a person that lost an arm or a leg? Are they still human...
BTW, take a look at your sister's birth certificate as to what she is and come back with the answer!

You call people "Ignorant" because they don't agree with you! :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

That’s a little different than a man who wants to call himself Susie

If you say so.:a20:

Good luck getting some people to understand the difference between the two sexes.

Hey, OrangeBlossomBaby, oh my, whatever would they do without you.

PS: Btw, as I am sure you know, that was a rhetorical question — no question mark.

Why do you have to boycott them? Can't you just live and let live? If I boycotted everything I disagreed with I would go no where and have nothing. Ridiculous.

Seems you are very selected; where were you were they started to boycott the "My Pillow" company products...

Why would I want to support a company or business that I think are terrible wrong in what they promote. I do not boycott just do not go there anymore. Others are more worthy of our business

I'm just helping to take the target off your back for a hot minute. Don't worry your turn will come around again soon enough :)

And I'm sure they really care...

They will do what they do, I will do what I think is right.

Why bother? How can anyone reason with this?

And there's the rub... If losing $BILLIONS in Market Cap doesn't get their attention, nothing will...

The replacement management will sure do something

Go to show Her/She/It mentality is kaputt, but guess what? They don't know it. Does a nut know they are nuts in the head: No!... :loco:

Oh, what the heck, I got a little time tonight, so here goes…..
 

Nah, don’t worry about me.

I’ve been on the road, I-75 North, but looked in, here and there, to see you yanking their chain. Way too easy for you. Have mercy, girl! (I cannot figure out why these threads have been allowed to continue. I have asked — but maybe TOTV has changed ownership. I look at it less and less, but not less enough, yet. :) )

Somebody, somewhere in one of these hideous threads, said moderates are only 20% of the country. That is some scary-azz statement……..

I think there are more moderates, like me, than just 20%, but I know that moderates don’t speak up very often. The extremes on both sides are destroying our country, as our enemies around the world just smile and wait…….

The susceptibility to the constant stoking by media is now on a level we have never faced before — and could not have imagined back when we were carrying around those floppy disks. But it’s here to stay and getting worse by the day, as screens rule us more and more. The methods used are simple ones — the same ones used by scammers who tap, tap, tap into the emotional part of the brain until it takes over.

(Personally, I wish corporations would not get involved in political hot buttons and just stick to what they know how to do. These recent messes are proof positive of that as far as I am concerned.)

Re. The basic subject at hand: Transgenders come in all kinds of personalities, just like everybody else. And I bet most transgenders do not want to be used as marketing pawns.

I know one transgender, not well, but was able to have a recent conversation when she told me that she has to plan her life around where she feels she will be safe from harassment — or worse. She made the decision to transition after she was well into adulthood and does not regret the decision. She just wants to live her life — and — not be dehumanized. (Many of these posts smack of dehumanization, as the posters pathetically tell themselves they are being noble.)

Target stores are getting bomb threats— proven hoaxes — for now. But bomb threats always require evacuations and scare people……

Those threats make me wonder how these posters among us — who cannot let this fevered pitch go — would feel if the all-too-usual, unspeakable happens and innocent people, including children, that these ranters and ravers claim to care so much about, die by the hand of someone who is susceptible and whose brain is “squirmin’ like a toad.”

Words matter.

Addendum: To those posters who claim to know God, and think they are doing His work, may I suggest you remember John 14:27. It might help you to calm the Hell down.

#425- (didn't want to quote the whole post)
So, you want the thread to be shut down because you don't like it?
John:14???? Are you sure about that? By the way, we could also be reminded Sodom and Gomorrah, if we wanted to debate a real correlation to today's issue.
Just curious, if your friend waited until she was an adult to transition, why is she still worried about what other folks thought of her/him/it? And what would be the purpose, if any of the transition if he/she/it decided to be a different gender? If it was a REAL transition, would there be any reason to think that anyone would know if he/she/it did not broadcast the change? If these transitions are not for attention, then why the need for special labeled clothing, and special treatment, etc.? Wouldn't most mature persons wish to be anonymous and keep their issue private? Just some thoughts.
I don't understand that about gays and lesbians either. Most of the ones I know, just want to be left alone and keep their intimate lives private. Why the Gay Pride parades and the gross and obscene prancing around dressed to create the shock effect? Most folks tolerate the whole deviant lifestyle, as long as it does not infringe on how they raise their children.
I guess none of this requires a response.

Well you showed your true colors when you called gayness a "deviant" lifestyle.

Do you know the definition of "deviant?" If so, explain where I used the term incorrectly.

"How do you write women so well?"

"I think about a man and take away reason and accountability"

I wonder if the high paid executives in the C-Suites understand their potential customer base.


Social Conservatism in U.S. Highest in About a Decade

Their replacements will. Considering a lot of executive pay is based on profitability do not understand why this is continuing.

Now LEGO has joined the move to groom children, just despicable! LEGO launches new LGBTQ awareness campaign for Pride month | Mashable).

Groom children? My guess is you didn't spend even two minutes to learn what the LEGO awareness campaign is. It has nothing to do with children.

why lego why?

Well, other than Lego's statement, "LEGO, a favorite toy maker of children and hobbyists alike, has also joined with its latest inclusive project..........."

" It has nothing to do with children."

We all don't live with our eyes closed.

:ohdear::ohdear::ohdear:

Absolutely! We all know that LEGO toys are for adults, not children. All you have to do is go to LEGOland and see how many adults are there. The children are just supervising their parents. :pepper2:

A friend told me tha OB was running low on a type of beer because no one was ordering Bud Lite. Petty minded stupid men.

Then you *did* notice the "and hobbyists" part of the sentence you highlighted?

And how does the campaign have anything to do with grooming?

Yes, I know:
LGBTQ -> campaign
campaign -> LEGO
LEGO -> children and hobbyists
children -> grooming
But just because some can come to that conclusion doesn't make it true.

You may not live with your eyes closed but from the comments from many on this board, many are looking through some ugly lenses.

Real men would not be caught consuming Lite beer. Although, maybe transgennies might.;)

Try reading about the campaign. You'll have more luck looking online than at LEGOland.
