My Revelation
RE: My Revelation
This is one of the common hazards of both religion and conservativism. Both lean strongly into answers being given by authority figures. Religion because of authoritative dogma. Conservatism because conservatives are much more aligned with concerns about loyalty, group cohesion and purity. It leads to being easily influenced by small cadres that serve as elites who act as gatekeepers as to what to think and believe. As a result, neither religion nor conservatism encourages the individual to think for themselves. They teach the individual a reliance on prepackaged solutions, prepackaged metaphysics, and prepackaged understanding. So a religious conservative is less likely to exercise their imaginations and think creatively. So the skill atrophies and they become rigid in their attachment to concepts and ideas.

I see the gender issue as an epitome of this weakness. If you never explore the concepts of gender on your own, you fail to imagine the contours that might describe it better than the dogma you've been taught or the talking points you absorbed from Fox News.

As long as an alcoholic thinks he doesn't have a problem, he will continue to drink. He must first accept that he is an alcoholic. An alcoholic can stop drinking, but he is always an alcoholic

Many times they think they've beaten the problem and they believe they are  longer alcoholics. The problem is, that's not the truth. They take a drink and they're right back where they began. It's only when they realize the truth that they can deal with the problem. He is an alcoholic, but he has the power to live a normal life. I wouldn't want to go along with him and urge him to drink.

A woman who has gender Dysphoria can accept their problem and if she wants to she act and appear as a man. She should not be deluded into believing she is really a man. That's why I fight for truth. It leads to problems on society such as biological men competing in women's sports, along with use of bathrooms and locker room for the opposite sex etc. If you're going to deal with a problem, you must first accept the facts concerning the problem.

Holy fuck, but you are a hateful, hurtful, and very fucking christian, person.

So much wrong with Lec's bullshit, ... so little time. 
He is not competent to "help" anyone. He is neither a Psychologist, Psychiatrist or MD. 
There are PHYSICAL brain differences his gods designed into these people. They don't need his ignorant / incompetent "help".  Has HE ever defined what a "man" is ? 
Is a human with testicular cancer or had their testicles removed because they have prostate cancer a "man" ? LOL. 
Please specifically define what a "man" is (or woman for that matter). I hope he knows that embryologically ALL HUMANS start out as female. Of course he doesn't know that.

A woman (or anyone) with gender dysphoria, with the BRAIN characteristics of that condition, can seek medical help. She is not "really" anything, except what she knows she is, and what HER BRAIN tells her about HER REALITY. His "truth" is not "her truth", and he doesn't get to tell anyone what their "truth" is. Just more totally arrogant bullshit from yet another religionist.

Allow me to clue Lec into reality.
Thousands of humans every year are born (as designed by his gods) as "intersex".
The rate of hermaphrodite birth is :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_herma...documented.
Are these people "really" what ? I'm sure Lec as an expert in this field can answer that.
They have the genitals of BOTH sexes.
The Pediatric Genetic Clinics the world over, are BOOKED SOLID, for MONTHS ahead, as parents deal with bumping up to the reality of the bad design of his gods.
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell  Popcorn
