1. There are scores of millions of Americans - heavily skewed toward the older generations still alive today, and toward certain regions; i.e., the South, and Rocky Mountain states like Idaho and Montana - who will go to their graves believing that transvestitism - see Deuteronomy 22:5 - is an abomination.  No one is ever going to change their hearts and minds.  As Barry Goldwater so correctly pointed out, you can't legislate love.

And Goldwater is right. However, not being religious I don't base my position on biblical passages. Rather I'm basing my position on science--in this case psychology which definitely states that Gender dysphoria (dys- being the opposite of eu-) is a mental illness (DSM IV, DSM V both). The statement by American College of Pediatricians who bluntly state that the Regressive Left ideology on gender is actively harmful to children.

And I will also note that Odin's cute little chart doesn't provide the methodology. As Mark Twain reputedly said there are lies, goddamn lies and statistics. There are various ways one could could structure the question so as to get any result deired--such as asking just about "traditionally" masculine thought.

Quote:2. There will never be one-size-fits-all moral standards in this country.  The last time we tried to impose such standards, the result was a literally fratricidal war that was eight times as deadly as World War II on a per-capita basis.

If anything by pulling this stunt I have a feeling that Obama is trying to destract from the election. Probably because a bomb shell is about to emerge for HRC. This particular instruction is little more then Presidential bullying because it isn't even a real executive order and has no law to back it (probably because it would die in the House even if somehow the Senate managed to lose its mind). The order will probably be the second thing rescinded once Donald Trump is inaugurated.
