Thank you for the comment.

IMO, Bayh and Visclosky do not fully realize the groundswell of people, just average Janes and Joes who are waking up, paying attention and becoming active and vocal regarding their representation or lack of.

Like you, I am a patriot and we must act and defend our`liberties like never before.

Please bookmark this site and our sister site http://www.couragetosee.com.

We try to stay on top of local, regional and national issues.

We recently attended two Visclosky town halls and walked away frustrated and angered from each one.

If you want your voice heard, please post here and all around the net. We have to get vocal in all forms of media in order to get our message across.

Sorry about the delay in approving your comment. I had a few dudes who were pesky name callers, so I moderate everything. Their comments go right into the trash can. It ticks them off and that makes me smile.

Nice to see you, don’t be a stranger. We will be at more town halls, how about you?

My position is that you cannot change a person’s DNA, their biology through surgery.

As far as the APA is concerned, they have a governing board like all associations and are constantly debating what to do with a pathology such as GID. It is not set in stone. Their bible, the DSM,Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, is updated to reflect current lines of thinking. They have advised surgery for the most mentally ill of their GID clients, to see if it helps. They are not stating or saying that a male can be turned into a female via cosmetic surgery.

There is no evidence of any hard-wiring of biological males from birth that makes the voices in their head tell them they were born in the wrong body. To believe that such a thing exists in males is to promote the social gendering of females. That means that females are nothing more than tits and a vagina, make-up wearing, skirt wearing creatures and if you ‘pass’ as a woman you are then a ‘woman’. It reinforces the gender stereotypes promoted by the patriarchy.

Go read over on some transgeneder sites and everyone one of them is related to and revolving around males trying to get chemicals that will grow breasts, or paying for breast implants, surgery to shave off their Adams apple, horrendous facial reconstruction surgeries and the woes of trying to find sexy high heels in a size 13.

All of this points to their wanting to ‘pass’ as a woman and the definition of ‘passing’ is being seen as something they are not.

So, yes the APA is reconsidering how to handle GID. The APA also has no authority to make any laws or make anything legal.

There is no science on this planet that will turn a male into a female. If males do not want to be men then they can call themselves whatever they want, except for female or a woman. A woman is an adult female, and these adults males will never be women, whether they ‘pass’ or not.

Transgenderism is a mental illness and I am certainly not pleased with how our medical community is treating these unfortunate persons, suggesting that they consume dangerous pills and chemicals and mutilate health body parts.

As for any comparison of homosexuality with transgenderism, you cannot make the comparison because homosexuality is a sexual orientation and trans is an gender identity issue. The two do not relate to each other. I am well aware that the trans peeps have hitched their wagon to the LGB wagon and that they did this years ago, without any permissions. There is a movement afoot to get the ‘T’ off the GLB in many areas of the country. Their ‘T’ has nothing to do with sexual orientation.

If a MTF wants to have sex with a woman, that MTF cannot say that they are in a ‘lesbian’ relationship. A lesbian is a biological female who has a same sex attraction, to other biological females. Lesbian is not same ‘gender identity’ attraction. If a MTF hooks up with a woman they are in a hetero relationship, as the mtf is male, with a sexual attraction to a female. The mtf will always be male, no assumed ‘identity’ erases biological facts.

Be careful subscribing to ‘identity politics’.

Go find the writer of the article and ask them your questions.

Let us evaluate the empirical evidence with dispassionate objectivity, rather than accepting unsubstantiated accusations and deliberate misrepresentation from pundits of questionable integrity. If intellectual engagement and sincere substantive discussions in the pursuit of truth are the goals of your blog as a rational conservative, I welcome the opportunity for cordial debate with you and your readers. If, on the other hand, you resort to ad hominem attacks and moderator censorship more typical of the wingnut fringe, then I completely understand that familiar position. Thanks!

Thank you for stating the truth. Apparently these Obama trolls have not read through your site, because if they had they would realize that first and foremost you are non-partisan; considering yourself American above any political affiliation.

Keep speaking truths, in the end truth clears through the fog of denial. Truth becomes the beacon for understanding and increased awareness. What you post, epitomizes the patriot of our life period; speaking boldly and with courage to circumvent the evil which threatens the sovereignty of the nation and as a people. Thank you, keep up the good work!

Very interesting how truths about Obama bring out his thugs.

Listen, America went through a whole election cycle with Obama trolls spending day and night online, posting some of the most hate filled screeds against women and anyone who dared vary from their pro-Obama position. I know that the trolls are still out there as evidenced by their presence here and elsewhere.

I get it, you love Obama.

Get this, I do not love ANY President, but instead prefer to look at the big picture of how they are influencing the USA. If the president is Bush or Obama, they get the same treatment.

I suggest that you continue reading here and that you go to all of the other blogs on my blogroll and read over there. Load yourself up with reading other people who are taking a look at the current administration.

I am a firm believer that there is always a chance for the deluded, the low information peeps, to be saved via having enough information crammed into their heads that some of it has to stick.

Happy New Year and I hope it works out better for you.
