I'm noticing a strong correlation between someone rejecting LGBT as a psychosis they will not indulge in and having an invisible friend that we must all indulge in...
Believing in invisible beings and pretending these imaginary entities can write books is every bit as delusional as what you're refusing to "indulge in."
Except with less proof it's happening.
Look how upset you get when I tell you that God is an imaginary friend and I won't participate in your delusion.
Notice how you try to explain to me how I'm going to Hell for not believing as you believe.
I'm glad I noticed this correlation and can now treat you like the mental patient you patently are!
You showed me the way to handle people with delusions!
Happy?
PS: The people whom I'm lashing out at here decided they NEEDED to be dicks about it and simply refuse to be polite about it at all.
If you're religious and haven't been a dick about it to me, then you're not included in the lashing.
As one of those unincluded in the lashing, IMHO, people that bring God into a discussion like that (or any discussion where it wasn't otherwise on the menu) are generally the same types that fail to notice or heed the historical lessons about invoking same as an excuse/justification for whatever slaughter or other perfidies one is or was perpetrating.
ReplyDeleteAll I request is that people fervently anti-deist show the same restraint about proselytizing minors to their preferred perversions as they demand from others. Which, not coincidentally, includes nominal "priests" egregiously unclear on the tenets of their own professed religion, who cannot seem to keep their hands off little boys and girls.
FWIW, the inside-baseball rule about psychoses is "Does this interfere with the rest of your life to the detriment of normal function in other areas?" Everyone who's ever taken a psych course can identify with one or more profiles of any psychosis; it's a matter of degree whether or not you qualify. Anyone may not like something (dogs, cats, men, women, whatever); someone who takes that to the extreme of going all jihad on them with a machete in public is not in the same mental health league as someone whose dislike simply requires a good set of earplugs, or crossing the street.
For one simple example, frequent handwashing is not the same thing as being OCD, unless you're doing it to the exclusion of things like feeding yourself, going to work, or having healthy and functional relationships with family and friends.
It's the difference between washing your hands five times an hour, and 500 times an hour.
(It also depends on the behavior itself. There is, for example, no number of times it's acceptable to whip out your privates and pleasure yourself, nor defecate/urinate in public.)
So is LGBTXYZEIEIO a psychosis?
It can be; which is not the same thing as it must necessarily be.
It's certainly not anything close to mainstream behavior (it's a single-digit fraction, possibly even a fraction of a single digit, of the population, as was demonstrated in studies before it became a political football and diversity checkbox), but just because something is a fringe behavior doesn't even make it lunatic fringe behavior, per se.
But if it's all you can do, say, think, be, talk about, and becomes the touchstone of your every waking moment, you're not flying on all engines, and should seek professional help.
The same would be true if you were so hetero-obsessed you were wanking at the mall every day, and groping women (or men) everywhere you went because you couldn't help yourself.
If I can spend an hour in your company on a bus, train, or airliner, and still not know your sexual proclivities, politics, religion, or any number of other things that fall under "TMI", you're probably pretty healthy.
If you can't STFU about those and many other things that are considered "your private life", because you can't manage to maintain healthy boundaries, you've got issues.
I can tolerate a turban, hijab, or clerical collar on someone else in public just as well as a rainbow t-shirt and pink hair (which neither break my leg nor pick my pocket, as Jefferson said), as long as the wearer of any of the above doesn't view me as a sales prospect for their product.
The problem is and has been for quite some time that "gays" in general, including those who just want to live their lives in peace, are saddled with "leadership" that can NOT seem to stop pushing and pushing the majority. Back in the day, when AIDS was first becoming generally known, they were requested to acquiesce in the blood industry not accepting sexually-active gay men as donors. They screamed and yelled, howling about a "stigma," and continued donating blood, leading to a bunch of unnecessary deaths from AIDS among blood recipients (including, I am told, Isaac Asimov.) These days, it's idiocies like "transgenderism" and "Drag Queen Story Hour." They cannot accept that a lot of people are very uncomfortable with strangers doing things like that around their kids, or any kids, and cannot understand that to most people, "drag queens" are grade-A weirdos.
ReplyDeleteThey are going to breed an almighty backlash, and ordinary people who happen to be gay are going to get caught in the gears and smushed but good.
