One of these paths harms no one, while the other can cause a great deal of strife and suffering in the world. But in general, these types of conversations are only a sideshow to the great moral questions of our age, which many remain blissfully unaware of.

Lubey's daughter has a better grip on this than most of the adults here. Once you start voicing your beliefs as absolutes of right and wrong, this becomes PARF fodder.

Personally, I am more concerned with those here who would prefer to control thought and speech to only what they believe. That is really scary. It is just as bad if it is liberal thought like yours or more conservative thought like mine.

No one here has tried to force Mr./Ms. Jenner to do anything...but it doesn't mean they have to agree with what he/she does. He/she can do whatever he/she likes with his/her body as long as he/she doesn't ask others to pay for it or require their approval.

What makes you think that Lubey's 12 year old has an especially good grip on transsexuals...or for that matter, how do you know her position on the matter at all?
