Some relevant thoughts on LGBT issues in general which should be considered as one thinks about this issue: It’s fairly obvious that female minds in male bodies and male minds in female bodies and homosexual minds in heterosexual bodies are sure signs that something went wrong somewhere (in nature and/or nurture), are sure signs of mind/body mismatches or disorders. So, to put transgenders and heterophobic homosexuals on the same level as normal heterosexuals is absurd. No sane, rational person can deny that.

This was the commonsense position of the American Psychiatric Association for years before it became corrupted by irrational, ever-so-trendy “political correctness.”

Those who value science, logic, and natural law know there are only two human genders: heterosexual males and heterosexual females. There are, on the other hand, all kinds of sexual and gender identity disorders (e.g., homosexuality, bisexuality, transgenderness, sadism, masochism, exhibitionism, pedophilia, etc., etc., etc.). To basically equate disorders, especially obvious ones, with non-disorders is just senseless.

And what is the rational thing to do with physical and psychological disorders? We try to fix them, if possible. But even if we can’t fix certain disorders (e.g., we may not have enough knowledge yet), rational people do not deny reality and make believe that disorders are NOT disorders, which is exactly what pro-LGBT people are doing. They are letting disordered feelings trump science, logic, natural law and morality. Unreal.
