21. Why are right wing Christians so obsessed with other people's genitals?

Wouldn't it be far better if they paid more attention to what they're doing with their own? From what I've seen, they require a lot of attention and comparison to what they try to preach at the rest of us.

Those freaks think parents who are getting medical care for their trans kids to delay sex development at puberty are bad parents. What???? Wouldn't that be truer for parents who just let their kids suffer and commit suicide to end the pain? They're acting like being trans is a brand new, terrifying plot from the left. It's not. Christine Jorgensen had the courage to go public with her 1952 surgery in 1953 or 1954, so really, people, you've had 70 years to get used to the idea.

I knew my first trans woman in 1966. I didn't out her. Even as a teenager, I knew better. I admired her guts.

The only difference now is that we know how early kids feel they want to change and we can keep trans girls from dropping their voices a couple of octaves and growing hair on their faces and trans boys doing just that. It avoids a lot of potential pain, but not all of it. It is also reversible, something that does happen in some cases. "Reversible" is what needs to be dinned into the cement heads of these screeching hysterics.
