Fighting Back Against Anti-Transgender Talking Points

The Huffington Post/By Brynn Tannehil Updated:  07/15/2015 8:59 am EDT

"Since the publication of Time's recent cover story "The Transgender Tipping Point," there has been a spate of conservative op-eds in retort, including ones featured in the Chicago Sun-Times and the Wall Street Journal, and online on conservative websites such as The Federalist. The attacks follow a predictable set of talking points that rely on the reader having no scientific knowledge of the issue. However, when examined from a perspective of peer-reviewed medical consensus and law, these talking points fail utterly."

That was a really good article.

Unfortunately it won't convince religious conservatives as their religious dogma is impervious to logic and facts.  I have experienced that personally trying to argue many of those points on the Internet with those people.  It's like banging your head on a concrete wall.  In the end the wall is still standing and you are bleeding.

Once in a while though maybe a seed of enlightenment is planted that will sprout later.

Love is not obedience, conformity, or submission. It is a counterfeit love that is contingent upon authority, punishment, or reward. True love is respect and admiration, compassion and kindness, freely given by a healthy, unafraid human being....  - Dan Barker

Have I mentioned lately how much I love Brynn Tannehill. I want to have her babies.
Have you read my short story The Eve of Triumph?
