Stop Thinking With Your Emotions

    Identity politics:  The Democratic Party has played that game for decades.  In its beginning, it purported to be for the poor man which was ironic, given that the party was started by rich men.  Then they said they were the party for the Blacks, although it was the party of slavery.  They covered up for that by saying there had been a great switch, but history recorded no such event actually happening.  Anyway, what good have their policies done for the Black race?  None!  No more than their policies have lifted the poor out of poverty.  Now they say they're the party for the LGBTQ+.  I have, yet, to see it!  The only reason I've ever seen for the identity politics they use is to thwart the Republican Party.  Politics is a game of power, not of concern.  Like organized religion, it's a system in which man controls man... nothing more.  Neither one is there for the good of your soul, your sanity, or your liberty.  The sooner you see that, the better off humanity will be.  I'm not saying we shouldn't worship the Almighty.  We absolutely should, in my opinion.  We just shouldn't be concerned with what any of the religions order, or the various offshoots of those religions.  Nor am I saying we shouldn't have government.  We most certainly should, but not the mega-corrupted system the Democrats and Republicans have given us.  Personally, I used to be a Republican, until I watched that party slide too far Right; just as the Democrat Party has gone too far to the Left.  Neither party was meant to be as far in either direction as they've gone.  If you go very much further to the Left, you'll get into Communism.  Too much further to the Right, Anarchy.  We really don't want either one of them, if you'd read your world history.

    Like I said, I used to be a Republican... until they went where I wasn't willing to go.  Now, I'm a Libertarian, which makes a lot more sense for me.  It makes a lot more sense for anyone who is LGBTQ+ and loves their freedom.  This morning, I asked my AI to give me an explanation why the Libertarian Party is the best party for the LGBTQ+ community.  This is what it came up with (please, pay close attention):

    The Libertarian Party's stance on LGBTQ+ rights is rooted in the principles of individual freedom and limited government intervention. Here are a few reasons why some might consider the Libertarian Party a better fit for LGBTQ+ individuals:

1. Personal Freedom

The Libertarian Party strongly believes in personal freedom and autonomy. They advocate for the right of individuals to make their own choices without government interference, including choices related to gender identity and sexual orientation.

2. Marriage Equality

Libertarians support marriage equality and believe that the government should not define or restrict personal relationships. They argue that consenting adults should be free to marry whomever they choose without government involvement.

3. Anti-Discrimination

While Libertarians oppose discrimination, they also believe that anti-discrimination laws should not infringe on personal freedoms or private enterprise. They argue that the best way to combat discrimination is through social change and personal responsibility rather than government mandates.

4. Privacy and Autonomy

The Libertarian Party emphasizes the importance of privacy and bodily autonomy. They support the right of individuals to make decisions about their own bodies, including access to gender-affirming healthcare, without government restrictions.

5. Equality Before the Law

Libertarians advocate for full equality before the law, meaning that sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression should not impact how individuals are treated by the government. They believe in removing legal distinctions based on these characteristics.

Conclusion

The Libertarian Party's commitment to individual freedom, privacy, and equality before the law aligns with the interests of many LGBTQ+ individuals. By advocating for minimal government intervention in personal lives, the Libertarian Party aims to create a society where everyone can live authentically and freely.

Truth and Lies: Facts and Fictions About Being Transgender

      When I came out as a trans woman, I was met with love by some, confusion by others, and silence by many.  I realized quickly that many people don't understand what it means to be transgender - and worse, they're often misled by myths that do real harm.     So, I'd like to set the record straight.  Here's a list of common statements made about trans people - some true, some false - and why it matters to get them right. Trans people choose to be trans. False:  Being trans isn't a lifestyle or phase - it's who we are.  No one chooses their gender identity any more than they choose their hair color. Gender identity is the same as sexual orientation. False:  Gender identity is about who you are.  Sexual orientation is about who you're attracted to.  They're separate, and both are valid. Trans people can be straight, gay, bi, or anything else. True:  just like anyone else, trans people have diverse sexual orientations....

Blessed Are the Builders: A Call to Heal the Faith of Our LGBTQ+ Family

“ If anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble...” Christ gave a stark warning of retribution and, yet, churches, filled with self-righteous pseudo-Christians, weaponize scripture like stone, bruising souls, rather than healing them, in the name of holiness. I have always believed that ones faith is the sanctuary of their soul. But sanctuaries have become battlegrounds because, somewhere along the way, the Body of Christ mistook uniformity for unity and created theology that wounds the very souls it should be healing. Especially when those souls are LGBTQ+. The harm didn't come from God – it came from those who spoke wrongfully in His name without knowing, or understanding, His heart. What if churches cause individuals to stumble? Romans 14:13 urges us not to set stumbling blocks in the paths of others. “Let us not therefore judge one another anymore; but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother'...

The Perfect Storm

       Several years ago, my oldest daughter got engaged to be married.  One evening, she called me so that her fiance could properly ask the father of the bride-to-be for permission to marry his intended.  That impressed me!  I thought good breeding was a thing of the past.  It didn't matter to me that he's Mexican-American in the truest sense (meaning he was born in Mexico, immigrated to the U.S. at the age of five, and is a legally naturalized American citizen).  What mattered is that he and my daughter were, and are still, in love.  I know that according to the ultra-liberal mindset, I'm supposed to be a racist because I'm White.  But, racism isn't a White problem; it's a human problem.  I think I'll write a post in the future covering nonsensical ideologies such as the Liberal mindset, the Conservative mindset, binary genderism, etc...  For now, however, I digress.     In the months that followed, my da...
