I’m not looking to start any wars, but I think that we can do better. If we are trying to fit in this society then maybe we should behave in a more acceptable manner. What transpired at the White House should not have happened. It only stirred things up even further. Hugs Katie
Katie, it reminds me of a couple of things. One, you get more with honey than you do with vinegar, and two, you cook the frog not by putting him in a hot pan, but by putting him in a cold pan and slowly turning up the heat. Sorry Mr. Frog! Anyway, I too am of a mind that sometimes we can be our own worst enemy. But I suspect this is something that most groups and communities face from time to time. There are some that just want to rush forward because 'we want it and we want it now'. With age, comes the experience that gives us a better perspective of just how fast things can be tolerated. So no, no war shall be started anytime there is thoughtful and respectful discourse. That is the hallmark that will cause us to be a force to be reckoned with. Hugs, Michelle
Dancing like that is perfectly fine at Mardi Gras in NOLA, but not at the White House. Likewise, it is fine at most Pride events, but not at the White House.
I'm ashamed of some of the things I see happening. I am also concerned about a future backlash. The pendulum never stops in the middle, and forcing trans ideology on society is setting us up for problems in the future. No one likes something forced upon them and I see this happening right now.
Montoya became the poster girl for the anti-trans crowd with that stupid stunt.
Where is this being forced on others. Being ourselves in whatever manner fits us isn't forcing it on others. That's what they are trying to do to us...force us to act CIS. _THAT_ is something that is bad. Choice of personal expression in this case might not have been the best, but it's not forcing others to be trans. Or even to accept that we are trans. Crawling back in the closet and not being ourselves is what they want, and is directly opposed to us being ourselves.
Amen. Our global future is in our hands. How we educate the masses is up to us. This display does nothing to help in achieving our goals.
I agree wholeheartedly. At a minimum, her’s was a childishly selfish attention getting act. At worst, its the kind of behavior that our adversaries hope we will exhibit. I was appalled by it.
