Are LGBiTrans supporters more compassionate than other people?

Question

such as the people that generally hang out in YA R&S? or just people in general IRL? Sorry, if the question sounds silly.

I know a M to F person that I would like to be friends with. It sounds like a difficult journey. I know from my bi polar mom and my bi polar husband all about emotion regulation and expression. I would like to share with the world that Trans (sexual? or transgendered? how do I use these terms? what is proper? what is PC?) Trans people are just human people with real emotions like all other people that I have ever met!

I also know a F to M person. I find myself a little nervous around the new "him". I don't understand why a female would want to transfer into a male. I could understand appreciating women! They are so soft! So beautiful! So wonderful! I could understand why a person would enjoy being a woman! How can I be more at ease around this person that I do not fully understand? Does this make any one else a little nervous?

Can anyone here give me some advice to show these people that I wish to be their ally and not their enemy? (PS. I don't know if either person has had an operation or wishes to have such a thing done! yikes! I would not dare ask such a thing! That's rather personal! We don't have to be "best friends" or anything! I just want to be a compassionate person who says "Hi" and makes small talk... or hugs... or whatever is needed at the moment! : )

Do adult people actually make fun of Trans... ? or is it just teenagers snickering behind their hands? Or do they just laugh and point? do people actually do that? Isn't that rude? Doesn't anyone's parents teach kids that it is rude to behave that way?

How could a nice Christian politely show a better example to these kids??? PLEASE ANSWER!!!!

What is a good* Christian supposed to do or say around a Trans... ?

* I may not always be the best example of a Christian with such a L*****n looking avatar, yes? but I try to be a good Christian. I want to inform people that Lesbians are human beings too! Sometimes, Lesbians are even Christians!

Do you have any advice for me? Can you help me? What do I say past "hi...." ? to these people?

Answer 1

Your avatar? Oh yeah I forgot about that passage in Leviticus, "... and so it came to be that no cartoon image must be made of you that weareth a butch haircut or shall haveth piercings, thus sayeth the Lord God and if thou shalt not abide by this then He shall give you a papercut everytime you try to open a thick envelope and send those little green flies that bite to every beach you swimmeth at." frightening! lol but seriously, people who support g*y issues aren't always perfect people, we've all been weirded out by somebody for whatever reason. I myself am a MTF trans in the process of transition and if somebody is uncomfortable with me I totally understand.

Answer 2

A lot of my friends are either Trans, Drag, Les, and the list goes on but I treat them like I treat any other person.  Get to know them , what they like, etc. I usually club with them we are in college together. Just say hi, ask to go out with to chill or whatever.

This is a philosophical question and here is my answer:

PC is a load of BS, clear and simple. The political correctness movement came about and was created by antagonistic manipulators. The name originated as something of a joke, literally in a comic strip, and we tend still to think of it as only half-serious. In fact, it’s deadly serious. It is the great disease of our century, the disease that has left tens of millions of people dead in Europe, in Russia, in China, indeed around the world. It is the disease of ideology. PC is not funny. PC is deadly serious.

If we look at it analytically, if we look at it historically, we quickly find out exactly what it is. Political Correctness is cultural Marxism. It is Marxism translated from economic into cultural terms. It is an effort that goes back not to the 1960s and the hippies and the peace movement, but back to World War I. If we compare the basic tenets of Political Correctness with classical Marxism the parallels are very obvious. By the way, Marxism has murdered more GLBT's than any known disease on record.

The PC movement states that if someone disagrees with you or the way you conduct yourself in society they cannot utter their opposition to it. Example: If you are truly PC then a g*y person should never refer to another human being as " a breeder". On the flip side of the coin a straight person should never call a g*y person a f*g. In the g*y community you will hear g**s refer to totally amoral g**s as "f**s". If you are a f*g on Castro St. then you are a f*g on Main Street. But, if you say it on Main St. you are a bigot, if you say it on Castro Street you are simply pointing out the obvious. PC divides us and it is very hurtful. On college campuses it is perfectly PC for Islamic peoples to have an Islamic State based on Islamic law. If you are a Jew and a Zionist it is Politically Incorrect and violates PC standards.

It is in fact hypocrisy of the worst kind. I'm g*y, Jewish and a Zionist. As far as the Christian approach to g**s I'd say it depends on the Christian doing the approaching. Follow your heart. Do NOT feel obligated to follow PC in fact avoid it at all cost. Instead try this way of thinking. Approach people as people. Not as g**s, or L*****n, or trans gendered, or bisexual. We all have names. Example: If my name is Joe, then approach me as Joe. If Tiffany is trans gendered then approach Tiffany as Tiffany, a person.

Take the best aspects of your faith such as love, compassion and unconditional love and apply it to these people. Some will reject you and some won't but don't change who you are in order to be PC. It's not worth it.

The GLBT community has good and bad folks in it just like any other community. There is no difference between straights and GLBT's other than in the bedroom. We are all humans with hopes and dreams, with good and bad aspects to our nature.

A persons sexuality is merely a small part of who they are. If they, whether straight or GLBT let that small aspect totally define who they are then they in fact are pathetic. PC again, divides us and is the basis for "hot button" issues in the political arena. Manipulative people enjoy using it to cause strife and pain to further their own agendas. Those who embrace it have what I call the "Messianic Range Psychopathy" and aren't worth listening to.

Above all things follow your own heart and be yourself. Love people and treat everyone with compassion. Some will not want it because they are quite comfortable being miserable but love anyway. Remember, no good deed goes unpunished.

Just treat them as you would anyone else...if friendship develops it will teach you a lot...How can you blame teens from snickering and remarks when in all likely hood their families are doing the same thing while their churches are teaching them that those individuals are less than human.
