Hell is real, repent from sinning confess your sins and ask God to forgive you, I know He will if you’re sincere. Anyone who thinks the Name of Lord Jesus Christ is a joke, boldly mocks and scorns Him or takes pleasure in people who do is in for a big unpleasant surprise on judgement day IF they don’t repent and follow Lord Jesus Christ. Hell is very hot, people please repent! In the mighty name of Lord Jesus Christ, Amen 🙏💪✝️💜❤️✝️! Idolatry such as, Islam, Catholicism, Sangomaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Santa Clausism, Confucianism, New Age, Science, Evolution, halloweenism, Harry Potterism, Politics, Donald Trumpism, Easter Bunnyism and other religions/faiths that are outside Biblical Christianity lead to hell! Don’t believe them, believe the Almighty God the Father of Lord Jesus Christ, who begot Him. Our Creator, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is mighty, He doesn’t need a woman to beget a son, He is God. I choose to put my faith in a God who can do anything and everything, a God who has unlimited and infinite power to beget! So, it’s time to confess that Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord and to believe that He died and rose from the grave after three days and you shall be saved if you only obey Him by praying, worshipping, praising, reading the Bible and living holy and righteously according to the Bible. You have to endure until the end, carry your cross daily and build your relationship with God by following Lord Jesus daily until the end. You must never renounce your faith in The Lord Jesus Christ, there’s hell awaiting those who reject/deny Lord Jesus Christ and those who continue living sinfully, even the Christians who don’t want to repent will face the same fate, so please repent beloved people, in Lord Jesus Christ’s mighty and precious Name, Amen.

When I was 15, I was a tom girl. I just wasn’t totally comfortable in ultra feminine clothing, and dressed a bit masculine and enjoyed more traditionally masculine activities like skateboarding, fishing, and sports. A “friend” of mine who held far leftist views tried to tell me “maybe you’re non-binary or trans! You should explore that side of yourself” I straight away said: “no, I’m just a tom girl, I’m comfortable in my gender.” They PUSHED BACK, insisting that I am repressing my true identity and that I should really consider that I am non-binary. I told them that I’m fully confident in myself and know who I am. This same interaction went on for a couple days, and it did make me start to wonder after a bit: am I non-binary?? I quickly snapped out of it and realized that no, I am not and I shouldn’t allow a pushy person to make me question these things. He gaslit me into questioning my own personal identity. I’m mentally very strong and self aware, but teen years can be so confusing, and not everyone has that same mental toughness or security within their identity to push past someone saying such things to them. I think this is precisely the problem with seeing all the propaganda on social media, or adults who push for this or bring it up as an option. It can be so confusing and easy to fall into that trap. Today, at 22 years old, I am a very feminine woman. I dress very girly, love to wear makeup, fix my hair, and enjoy traditionally feminine activities. I can’t imagine how unhappy and confused I would be today had I allowed myself to be convinced back then. It’s a slippery, dangerous, slope that is hard to come back from. I have such empathy for these kids who have been gaslit into believing they are not who they were born as simply because of their own subtle differences from the “gender norms”.

[@magsteel9891]

I keep telling people this trend of focusing on gender in this way is a huge trap. They don't seem to get that all of us are a mix of masculine and feminine and the balance can shift from day to day and hour to hour.

As a kid I dealt with gender issues. I was a tall tomboy who liked wrestling and weightlifting, I had severe issues with my breasts, I developed pcos and struggled with facial hair giving me a lot of invasive thoughts about whether or not I should have been born a man. If I had been born in today's political world I would have been pushed to transition and I would have regretted it for the rest of my life. Instead I went to therapy and addressed my ACTUAL issues regarding the trauma of why I didn't like my breasts, why I felt un-feminine (not masculine) and how it's OK to love things that are inherently considered masculine but in fact are just the way I show my own brand of femininity. I am a woman and while I may have struggled with that as a kid, as an adult I am fully embracing who I am as a woman. If I had transitioned into a man I never would have found my peace. I would have been searching on a road I didn't belong on with no real way back to myself. This push to transition kids is just absolutely disgusting and so incredibly harmful it makes me sick. It gives no quarter, if you have parts of your body you don't like you just automatically have gender dysphoria no ifs ands or buts about it. No diving deeper to find out the reasons, no delving into the why just purely rubber stamping a label on these kids and if you question it you are obviously a bigot.

Let kids be kids. If they want to make lifechanging decisions as an adult, that's on them.

[@hannahfaye6562]

The point is that you didn't have to be "girly" or wear cute clothes to be a girl... you just are... even if you're a "tomboy". Assigning clothes, activities, toys, colors, hairstyle, etc. to a gender is all just human invention and has changed throughout history. Perpetuating gender stereotypes and norms is what confused people. If only people were taught to like whatever they like and that it doesn't affect biology, and be there for kids who are uncomfortable with their bodies during puberty and help them to love themselves, there'd be less people who have an identity crisis.

For me, it was medication to help, along side therapy and a change in lifestyle. For trans people, that can either be therapy and exploring these feelings, or, if absolutely dead set on transitioning (remember, many of these people are on the spectrum), going forward with a closely supervised path to transitioning. To think about 2 medical problems and expecting them to have the exact same medical solutions is so reductive it's ridiculous.

What kills me is women who are cis under about 35 that desperately want to be sterilized or need a hysterectomy for one reason or another have an almost impossible time getting approval. It doesn't make any sense why trans care has gone through such radical change so quickly, when cis women still have to jump through hoops to consent to things about their body. If a 27 year old cis woman cannot consent to sterilization per their crazy standards, how can a teenage trans person?

Matt Walsh made it out that that Dr Kingsley asked children how many orgasms they had, but he actually didn’t. Kingsley actually asked adults and asked them about how many orgasms they HAD as children. 4 The film (spoiler alert) features Matt Walsh going to a Virginia school where he calls some people who work there child groomers because they have trans inclusive policies. The film makes it out that a trans girl raped a girl in the bathroom there, but the rapist was actually a boy crossdressing who didn’t identify as trans. There’s more misinformation in the documentary but those are some of the examples.

5:45 THIS. At my old company, a coworker came out as transgender and we received a long, detailed email informing us of their transition and making it crystal clear that any “deadnaming” or “misgendering” would be met with swift discipline up to and including termination. This person has been with the company for several years and working with the same people for several years, I can’t imagine how scary it was for them to know this person as name X one day then name Y the next and if they happened to forget to use the new name or pronouns, they could be punished. BTW, the person still presented as their original gender as well. I was so happy this person was in a different department and I didn’t have to communicate with them. The pressure was too much just from the email. :/

[@hypnovertigo7200]

I came out as trans to my workplace and I'm glad there was no big email. I just told a manager I trusted who was very sweet. We gradually worked out a new nametag and the whole pronoun thing over a period of a few weeks. I made sure to like it trickle in rather than drop the bombshell all at once. Coming out is important but it act like everyone should get used to a new name and pronouns overnight is a rather narcissistic concept. I also leave it more on the table with pronouns so that when I am called "she" it's not out of fear, but genuine respect. No one has maliciously misgendered me to be rude and I'm very glad I took that approach for myself and everyone around me.

First off, I'm an extremely conservative heterosexual man in my early 30s. However during my early adolescence I thought I might be gay. Weird thing is, I had zero attraction to men whatsoever. So what was my reasoning for questioning my sexuality? I liked men's fashion & watching movies/TV shows like "Center Stage" or "Sex and the City". THAT'S IT. Yet despite being an extremely intelligent individual, I was stupid to the point of thinking having an interest in a given topic meant I was gay. Luckily I wasn't encouraged or discouraged about how I felt, my parents just listened. And despite my mom (an off the boat Irish woman & devout Catholic) thinking I might be gay (bc of my aforementioned interests) she didn't encourage or discourage anything. She told me she'd love me no matter what but that I was a kid & I'd understand my sexuality as I got older. And she was right. Now I look back & think "What kind of a moron were you" but luckily I was just an ignorant & confused kid & nobody pushed me to think a certain way. I understand sexuality is different from transitioning but I'm saying this to illustrate the stupidity of even intelligent teens. Kids are dumb & ignorant. As such, kids should NOT be allowed to make permanently life-altering decisions.

[@countesschocofang]

Your confusion is/was the result of toxic masculinity. It's that rhetoric of "You can't be a man if you watch or indulge in "girly-things"."

[@whomfst]

As a gay man I had quite the literal opposite experience. I was always told how to act and conform to a straight lifestyle. I was raised catholic and my entire life up until middle school I was only met with straight couples, both in my daily life and on media. There was only straight representation and I had grown up believing being gay was wrong. When I was in middle school I wished that I would wake up straight and that my sexuality could change because the norm is to be straight and I wasn’t conforming to it. I didn’t act stereotypically gay and to this day most people wouldnt even suspect me being gay, but we exist. People in my life only started having problems with me upon learning my sexuality and I wish I knew from a young age that it’s okay to be who you are. People have such a fear of young kids “destroying their lives” and how parents shouldnt “force ideas onto kids” when Catholicism was forced onto me growing up, causing more damage to me mentally than being gay ever will. Not every kid who thinks they’re gay is gay, just as not every kid who thinks they’re straight is straight. It was forced into my mind growing up that I had to be straight and I had to have a wife and kids some day, and it took me years to accept that I’m gay and religion wasn’t going to change that. The right seems to be overly concerned with topics of sexuality when it comes to children as they dont think kids should know this stuff, but the point of pride and representation in general is to let those kids out there know that they can be themselves, and not about shoving a sexual lifestyle in kids’ faces. If someone is worried that their kid is going to end up gay, then they have their own problems going on. Sexuality ≠ someone’s sex life and I’m tired of the media especially right wing media painting all things lgbt as sexual and violent when in reality they just disagree with lgbt and will take any talking point no matter how stupid it is and run with it. Just as we dont prosecute all priests for the sexual actions of some of them, we shouldn’t put all lgbt people under the same umbrella as those who are pushing a sex life onto kids.

[@JNJ1014]

@@whomfst I'm sorry Catholicism made you feel less than & your personal circle didn't accept you coming out as gay. However that's got ZERO to do with what I said. All I was stating was that kids are confused & stupid. They've never had sex, they're barely familiar w/the various urges they're experiencing & often suffer from extreme insecurity/anxiety as teenagers. As such, their ideas about sexuality shouldn't be accepted as factual statements bc so much is in flux at that age. And it's ESPECIALLY true when it comes to allowing a (typically) transient belief about their sexuality (like me thinking I was gay or the epidemic of girls saying they're trans) as a justification for usually PERMANENT & potentially IRREVERSIBLE medical procedures, some of which may render them INFERTILE. So say what you want about conservatives, Catholics, etc. In reality, the VAST majority of people (IMO 95% of all normal people & 75% of trans rights "supporters") are against giving puberty-blocking drugs, gender-reassignment surgery & sex hormones to children, based on nothing more than a statement from the child. I'm willing to bet there's about to be an EXPLOSION in medical malpractice lawsuits against plastic surgeons & endocrinologists who perform gender-reassignment surgery, elective mastectomies, M2F breast augmentation and/or offer estrogen/testosterone replacement therapy. There are HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of kids who will be permanently damaged by this. But it's not the kids fault, it's the doctors & the parents who should feel disgusted & ashamed for their utter dereliction of duty.
