First of all, it is your argument. And if it holds true for you, then it holds true for everyone that took God in their hearts. And there was a lot of Christianity in Germany. Your argument.

Is that okay? Is it okay for someone to have a pride flag on their desk but someone else can't have a "marriage is between one man and one woman" sign on theirs? Shouldn't we strive for fairness and tolerance? Or is it one of of those things where only one side "gets" to be tolerant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stahleyp Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Related to the use of pronouns discussed above, this stuff is insanity. The transgender activicts are harming kids. There are a ton of stories about people who "transitioned" early in life who have a ton of health issues later one. There is even a book about the harm of this "movement." https://www.amazon.com/Irreversible-Damage-Transgender-Seducing-Daughters/dp/1684510317 Â Here is an excellent interview about a victim of this culture: Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is perfectly fine in the proper context, but you provided no context and I was asking for a specific example so we could see a harassment and examine the context. A ruling from a court would tend to be a more likely true case of harassment rather than just my asking of you to personally drum one up from your own opinion. For example, if you want to stand on a soapbox in the public town square with a sign that says "marriage is between one man and one woman" it is not considered harassment by either myself or by a court.  But there are circumstances where the court may find that your free speech message is harassment. For example, if you were walking behind somebody and following them around spewing something hateful they may convince a judge that you need to be sanctioned by the court for your behavior and maybe you'll earn a restraining order.

So is it harassment when a homosexual puts a pride flag next to a conservatives religious person just to make them angry? Is it harassment when a homosexual couple intentionally goes to a baker that they know will be offended? Is it harassment when a transgender person goes to that same baker (now nationally known) in order to "prove how much of a bigot he is" or whatever?

If by next to, you mean their front lawn, then likely yes. But you cannot cite a black man for enraging a white supremacist simply for using the same public bathroom while knowing that it will piss off the white supremacist to do so.  Edited August 18, 2022 by ERICOPOLY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ERICOPOLY Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 However if you don't take your ovaries out and live an infertile life you take the chance of ovarian cancer. Same with men who don't have their testicles removed when they're young, they're taking a real risk of testicular cancer later on. So there are examples, but what are the statistics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think about 42,000 women die each year of breast cancer and this could have been entirely avoided with double mastectomies at a young age. So I guess the point I'm making is that hormones cause the most health issues for those who have not transitioned. Edited August 19, 2022 by ERICOPOLY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
