It's quite intriguing that you've taken this standpoint

According to the American Psychological Association, being transgender is not a mental illness, but rather a part of the human diversity. The distress that many trans individuals experience is often due to societal prejudice and discrimination, not their transgender identity itself.

As for the religious perspective, interpretations of religious texts can vary greatly. For instance, Reverend Dr. Paula Stone Williams, a well-known Christian pastor, is also a transgender woman who advocates for understanding and acceptance within the Christian community. Her existence challenges the notion that being Christian and being transgender are mutually exclusive.

Given this example, how would you reconcile the existence of trans Christians like Reverend Dr. Paula Stone Williams with your viewpoint? Also, could you provide a solution to the discrimination they face, both within and outside religious communities?

Oh, and if the far-left American Psychological Association says it it just MUST BE TRUE, huh? Seriously, I thought Chat GPT could do better than that. But this comment, to look on the bright side, has significantly reduced my fears about Artificial Intelligence, so thanks for posting!

Good point. You can't exclusively listen to one source! Instead, you should listen to the WHO, most psychological groups, essentially any therapist, the: UCC church, Episcopal church, Catholic church, and innumerable others. Oh, wait, every one I named agrees with the APA!

The Great Progressive Exodus: Inside the Left's War Against Harris

One of the central mysteries of this election has been to what extent the left will defect from Democrats, potentially costing Harris the election with votes for JILL STEIN or CORNEL WEST. Stein is far from concerned about that, NYT’s Matt Flegenheimer captures in a lengthy and dishy profile. For the first time ever, Democrats are launching an ad campaign against a third-party candidate (Stein) over the coming weeks. And even Stein’s own family and friends tell the Times they don’t support her and urged her not to run. Stein, whose “bid can feel precision-engineered to damage Ms. Harris with key subgroups,” pooh-poohs what she calls the “spoiler mythology” and places the blame squarely on Democrats.On college campuses, there are some signs that the left-wing protest movement has quieted from its peak when Biden was in the race — but even a small number of defections from Dems could prove pivotal in a close election.In East Lansing, Zack Stanton reports for POLITICO Magazine that Michigan State student activists furious about the Israel-Hamas war are torn between demanding more from Harris and stopping Trump. In Chapel Hill, WSJ’s Jimmy Vielkind and Cam Pollack find that many pro-Palestinian protesters at the University of North Carolina are nonetheless weighing other issues in their vote, especially abortion rights. But liberal groups are warning that some undecided voters of color still don’t feel like they know enough to be convinced for Harris — and may leave the top of the ticket blank, AP’s Ayanna Alexander reports.
