I was feeling a little like my transness was on display, I guess, and suddenly that sort of made me feel not great.
You look like the someone's jewish grandfather in a wig. That is your fault.
I could be misinterpreting this woman completely, but this is the feeling I had in the room: The ‘still’ is conditional. You still love me when I finally give up being trans and give my life over to Christ. They still love me even though I’m some kind of sinner or something. I felt that
Well yeah. From the Christian perspective, you abandoned yourself and your family, were tempted into a valley of death and despair, and they want you to return to truth, light, and love; which you have permanently sworn off.
"Do they believe that I exist? That I’m valid? Because that’s not always part of the conversation. I like to start there. Because there are many people in the liberal community who can’t seem to get their heads around it for one reason or another."
You exist, but your lies are invalid. Lying to yourself is always invalid.
"It’s so strange to me, because Harper is finally... her," he added. "She’s finally who she was always meant to be. Whether or not you can ultimately wrap your head around that, why would you care if somebody’s happy? Why is that threatening to you? If the trans community is a threat to you, I think it stems from not being confident or safe with yourself."
He was never her, that was never who he was, nor whom he was meant to be. They are not happy, they are never happy because the cure for their imposter syndrome can't be found at the edge of a knife. They are not threatening to us unless they are attacking us for using the wrong pronouns or shooting our kids at school. They are no threats to us until they start targeting our children.
Beyond that, like any other person engaged in depression, delusions, and self-harm; if they can keep it to themselves, they are of no harm to me.
From my minarchist and libertarian position, you're not my problem. I don't have to help you, let alone save you. But, the Christians still want to try and save you and your soul and give you a blessed life if you can stop hurting yourself. I fault them for their optimism.
