“Well, regardless of what you believe, you’re loved and welcomed here. We’re to love our neighbor as ourselves and you’re our neighbor.”

Rome tried to even emulate this model, but it failed because for Christians it was done out of love, not duty.

Many Christians found themselves persecuted and tortured for their strange beliefs and due to the fact they welcomed slaves, treated women as equals, and demanded husbands treat their wives with respect and fidelity. Church funds were used to buy the emancipation of Christian slaves. When Roman fathers would leave unwanted children in fields to die, Christians would adopt the children and defy the social structure by caring for them. They lived counter-cultural and showed love, grace, and affection towards those with different beliefs.

I'm sorry to hear you suffer from self-hatred. It's common among victims of transgenderism. Know that "transition" doesn't solve anything. At best, it delays or hides mental problems. But, by design, it destroys the body's endocrine system, which is necessary to live, making us dependent on pharmaceuticals for life, and putting us at higher risk of heart disease, cancer, sexual dysfunction, weak bones, hot flashes, etc. And it objectively brings no physical benefit. You would do better to avoid you-statements (accusations). My mistake was trusting my doctor to do first no harm. Don't let it be yours, too.

I was transitioned as a young adult. I now understand sex can't change. HRT destroys the endocrine system, replacing it with lifelong pharmaceutical dependence. Surgery mutilates and scars the body into a superficial mimicry. All this brings no objectively definable physical benefit. It's merely to fit temporary social stereotypes. #desist #detrans

SJW's here on this thread... Let's cut the crap. We all know, that gender is not sex, we all KNOW that men can't 'really' change to women. We are just enabling a few men with fetishes to be legally recognized

HRT is a treatment for women with menopausal issues, not a therapy for transitioning.

It may not be the correct term, but isn't the hormone cocktail taken by male to female transgendered people a fairly similar thing, possibly commonly also called HRT by many, whether technically incorrect or not.

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT), also known as menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) or postmenopausal hormone therapy (PHT, PMHT), is a form of hormone therapy which is used to treat symptoms associated with menopause in women.

The 2002 Women's Health Initiative (WHI) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) found disparate results for all cause mortality with HRT, finding it to be lower when HRT was begun earlier, between age 50 to 59, but higher when begun after age 60. In older patients, there was an increased incidence of breast cancer, heart attacks and stroke, although a reduced incidence of colorectal cancer and bone fracture.[7] Some of the WHI findings were again found in a larger national study done in the United Kingdom, known as the Million Women Study (MWS). As a result of these findings, the number of women taking HRT dropped precipitously.[8] The WHI recommended that women with non-surgical menopause take the lowest feasible dose of HRT for the shortest possible time to minimize associated risks.[7]

He's also a big proponent of beating children, apparently that's a legitimate thing in some evangelical circles.

Star Trek never had substance. It's feel-good escapism wrapped in a fascist power fantasy.
