I try to understand the reason behind things like this NC law. I thought it might be inspired for religiousreasons and I found an issue that I hadn’t looked at in detail … the differences between Genesis 1 and Genesis 2. Comparison of Genesis 1 & Genesis 2Genesis 1: Order of Events1) heavens and earth created2) light shines on earth3) light divided from darkness4) firmament divided5) land separated from waterGenesis 2: Order of Events1) heavens and earth created2) plant life appears3) man (male only) created4) animal life created5) woman made from man’s side6) plant life appears7) sun, moon, and stars appear8) animal life created9) man (male and female) created
http://www.tedmontgomery.com/bblovrvw/Creation/Genesis1vs2.htmlSome scholars offer the following androgyne explanation which fits for those who believe it is a literal translation:“Among those supporters of Androgyne Adam are the oldest Hebrew scholars, the writers of the Talmud. When I first searched for Adam in the Talmud I was shocked not only that the writers believe Adam was an androgyne, but I was also shocked at how normal it was. The Talmud is famous for debating minor details and giving multiple, conflicting views on the same topic on purpose. But the Earthling’s gender was not debated. They believed the Earthling an androgyne and no reason to make a fuss over it or defend the idea. Their historical context must have been unanimous on the subject. There are two explanations for this: The Hebrews believed in Androgyne Adam since Genesis was written and the talmudic writers followed; when Christianity blossomed, Gentiles did not bother studying Talmud and assumed if the Earthling died a man, he was born a man too. Or, the same as above except there was also a major shift of interpretation of the androgyne sometime between the origin of Genesis and the origin of the Talmud. Occam’s razor suggests the simpler, first explanation. It is rather silly to believe in something we have no evidence for, just because it fits our modern, unproven assumptions.”http://www.transchristians.org/book/hijra-to-christ/adamAs this is not accepted by the majority but not 100% of scholars, it would seem logical that we follow Jesus’ suggestion that we love all of mankind, so, while I’m not really convinced that the law was inspired by religion, I’m trying to be positive, and respect and understand their point of view..
This type of comment adds nothing to the conversation. It sounds like the sort of ignorant nonsensical taunt Donald Trump would make. Grow up. If you have a comment with substance, then make it. If you just want to spout inanities, please restrain yourself. It embarrasses you and leads others to write off anything you say as completely worthless.
They finally got rid of the black toilet paper in favor of crapping on someone else’s rights. Those right-wingers aren’t happy unless they are keeping someone down, it is the only way they know they are on top.
During 1951-53, the first American transexual changed from George to Christine Jorgenson. It made the news at the time and occasionally thereafter, Christine got a bit of entertainment pages coverage for reviews of her nightclub act, but otherwise, no particular problems were found with her or a small minority who followed that lead. A few who were minor celebrities before, might get their status noted in coverage on other matters, but for the most part, no notice was taken. .Suddenly, grasping for some deadly “danger” to frighten the electorate, the Republican high command hit on the idea that transgenders, like Mexicans, were all rapists and laws against rape were insufficient to deal with this problem and new laws to ban them from rest rooms were all that could save the world. What is even worse, a large number of gullible citizens actually believe this nonsense.
motivemagusYou can include Methodists in that list. Beyond some consideration that the view existed (hardly a surprise to anyone in Dallas), it certainly was not taught at Perkins (SMU) and I had Albert C. Outler, the official Methodist observer at Vatican II, for systematic theology.

A solution for a non-problem. Actually, it’s a distraction from the poor way Republiclans have dealt with everybody.
