If You Want Truth about Gender, Listen to Mr. Rogers and Johnny Carson
All the lunatic experts making a mint out of mutilating children need to go back to pre-school and watch Mr. Rogers Neighborhood where there are no "gender reassignment clinics."
Ah...the Talmud, the document that calls for Christians to be murdered. Not a source I trust. Just goes to show that the Jews were wrong about more than denying Jesus as Messiah.

I. RENEGADES TO BE KILLED
Even a Christian who is found studying the Law of Israel merits death. In Sanhedrin (59a) it says:
"Rabbi Jochanan says: A Goi who pries into the Law is guilty to death."
II. BAPTIZED JEWS ARE TO BE PUT TO DEATH
In Hilkhoth Akum (X, 2) it says:
"These things [supra] are intended for idolaters. But Israelites also, who lapse from their religion and become epicureans, are to be killed, and we must persecute them to the end. For they afflict Israel and turn the people from God."
The Jews have a lot in common with their illegitimate brothers, the Moslems.
Violence happens. It seems one can justify or explain away "my" tendency but blame "you" for yours. My hope is to recognize that just because I don't understand something, I don't have to hold it in contempt and call it evil.
Some things are so obviously evil that it is mindless to call them misunderstandings -- like killing babies in the womb and mutilating children's bodies by cutting off their breasts and penises so they can pretend to be the other sex. You are willing to accept the first; do you also accept the second? You've been explaining away your tendency toward violence against the unborn for years, an act that is diabolically evil.
"He who is not angry when there is just cause for anger is immoral. Why? Because anger looks to the good of justice. And if you can live amid injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust." St. Thomas Aquinas
I am angry. I am angry when people express opinions about other people's lives and choices when they have no part, no understanding, no direct experience in it. That seems to me to be an injustice.
I am angry - frustrated - when I am responded to with the same extreme rhetoric, seemingly in order to deflect or distract, over and over and over again that I am the cause or the reason for someone making a consequential choice rather than recognizing the freedom that choice offers us (the whole point of that gift a free will) and the responsibility of facing the consequences also.
No one wanted to be forced to get the Covid vaccine. My body, my choice can be seen and heard everywhere.
I do not want to have the power over any other human being, especially when I have not walked in their shoes or lived their story.
I believe there is truth and there is opinion. One man's truth can be another's opinion. Claiming to own the Truth is like claiming to own the air. Another injustice.
Oddly enough, the one thing most spiritual/religious Traditions have in common is the claim that mine is The Truth. Rather than choosing to live their truth they would go to war to force others to believe it too. I love Mark Twain's short book, The War Prayer.
It is written, in a different spiritual book, the words that go something like this - ...this I can say, "this I know to be true. "This I cannot say, "this I know to be true and only this is true."
The reason I left Christianity was because I didn't see anyone really/honestly/consistently practicing it. As Chesterton said, "The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult and left untried."
My sense of the Christian tradition is that I am meant to love The Source of Life, called God, love my neighbor as myself, to love my enemies. I hear a lot of love encouraged in the tradition.
But I experience a lot of angry people at War with the way things are, who have no idea how to love people the way they find them, "unconditionally." I don't even know how to do that sometimes- often.
But I like a quote attributed to Socrates, "The people who are hardest to love are the ones who need it the most." And of course that famous one by your close friend and confidant, "...forgive...they know not what they do." We don't listen to his last words enough.
You can't love God and kill His babies. Telling you the truth is "extreme rhetoric" according to your liberal mindset. Jesus said, "If you love Me you will keep my commandments." Thou shalt not murder is one of them. Is that extreme rhetoric? God is not the Pillsbury Doughboy.
I pray that final prayer for you often, Susie, because I'm afraid I will never see you again after I die. That grieves my heart and I hope I'm wrong. God sees the culpability of each of us and I beg for His mercy for myself and others. But your endorsement of grievous sins is serious.
There's another quote from Chesterton that applies here: “Do not be so open-minded that your brains fall out.”
When common sense was common. Maybe these clips should be shown in some seminaries.
