Drop The T From LGBT
Transgender people have high rates of psychological problems that contribute to their identity expression and victimization. The rest of the LGBT crowd should consider how that reflects on them.
The post-marriage culture war is asymmetrical in the group known as LGBT. Gay, lesbian, and bisexual activists have carried the rainbow banner for transgenders for issues that truly matter, such as employment and housing. Now the time has come for a genuine sanity check for them to stop enabling kookier parts of the trans agenda.
The current bathroom policy debate illuminates the growing gap between the concerns of the transgender community and of the LGB community. Perhaps those who favor gay marriage do not want any part of enabling pedophiles in wigs having easier access to kids in bathrooms.
Trans activists paint the entire LGBT group in an unsympathetic light when they lobby for laws to criminalize such trivialities as misusing pronouns, as passed recently in New York City. Practical LGB members might want to take this opportunity to disentangle themselves from the lunacy of today’s trans-rights movement. This will disassociate their movement in the public eye from people whom research shows have high incidents of psychological disorders linked with their transgender expression, and offers an opportunity to protect transgender people from being exploited by high-priced medical quacks.
The differences between the groups now seem glaring. Let’s list a few.
Difference 1: Same-Sex Attraction vs. Gender Perception
Many transgenders are not homosexual, lesbian, or bisexual. Unlike people who identify as LGB, transgenders suffer from self-deception disorders (gender dysphoria). They are convinced that they are in the wrong body, and with the help of enablers and affirmers of their delusion, undergo drastic body-mutilating surgeries to enhance the deception and deny the plain and simple truth of their gender. While some LGB people may be transgender, too, the majority are not.
Difference 2: Bathroom Access
The transgender public restroom issue, a hot topic in the news today, is exclusively a transgender cause not shared by those who are lesbian, gay, or bisexual. Transgender bills being debated at the state and local levels exclusively address gender identity and have nothing to do with sexual preference. This includes bills to legally change one’s gender marker on one’s birth certificate without surgically altering the appearance of one’s genitals. It also includes bills to allow any man to use women’s public restrooms and locker rooms if he says he feels like a woman—no surgery or birth-record change required.

If that becomes how people think, then I should have every right to not be prosecuted for killing them.
I mean, it's my right to love seeing the light expire from their eyes.
I'm just a normal bloke, a normal bloke who likes a bit of torture.

It's better that pedophles make themselves known than staying in the shadows like lurking predators, this way they can be monitored and "cured" when it's possible.

They really should drop transgender people. As we are SO often reminded, being transgender doesn't have anything to do with sexual orientation. They're dragging the LGB community down for no apparent reason.

The Op was about people with those thoughts. They had not done anything. You want to kill them, go ahead, but you are next to be executed.

not before you and your justifying lot go before me.
If you accept those with these thoughts, then you accept something sinister. I'm not quiet about this. I've had family members molested. And I would pull the trigger myself.

How so? I think it was well informed. Transgender has nothing to do with sexual orientation, being gay, lesbian or bisexual does. People of color aren't admitted into the LGB fold just because they may be oppressed unless they match the sexual orientation clause.
Trans folks are certainly categorically different than LGB folks, but they still fall under the umbrella of sexual minority. from a cultural perspective they face many of the same challenges, especially threats to the legitimacy of their identity (i.e., cultural norms that suggest people choose their sexual or gender identity).

No. The 2 things you mentioned are illegal and don't have consenting adults.
You understand we have transgender members of ATS and you are trying tio lump them in with Pedophiles and necrophiliacs?

but now you're here, saying let them be?

Nope, I'm saying that lumping transgender people in with gay and lesbian folks makes about as much sense as lumping pedophiles in with gay people just because they're a sexual minority.
