NBCOUT Try a little sensitivity and kindness. Having to handle their identity is bad enough; compounding it with criticism pushes them to the limit. Support is what is needed here.

NBCOUT Nearly 2% is 1% gender equality is a stupid idea you’re born either a male or a female.

NBCOUT Some kids are pulling your legs

NBCOUT You can contribute all these facts and events to poor parenting

NBCOUT Folks with gender dysphoria need psychiatric help, not physical mutilations that will drive them to suicide.

NBCOUT I am not going 2 pretend I understand complexity of those who identify as transgender but what I do know is that we ALL share in this human experience & each of us is stamped in God likeness which makes each uniquely designed as authentically special. Please know UR valuable.

NBCOUT Transgender is a mental illness. Even if they have surgery the depression remains. Society should stop acting like this is a good thing and help these people.

NBCOUT ☹️ no one should ever be made to feel bad about who they truly are.

NBCOUT Wow, they dont have gps find a bridge ? Yet whats your position on abortion ?

NBCOUT Yea because they need mental health! We need to offer counseling

NBCOUT Has it occurred to anyone that this is just nature's way of controlling the population? That there is nothing abnormal to see here? God's way of teaching us that ALL are part of His plan? Just wondering...

NBCOUT THIS is why realDonaldTrump and the military don't want transgender people in the ARMED forces. Handing someone suicidal a military weapon is asinine.

NBCOUT Yet the left wants them in the military and insists they're perfectly fit to deploy.

NBCOUT Could be suffering from untreated symptoms of mental illness.

NBCOUT This says to me that these children aren’t healthy mentally and need therapy as well as some re programming of social stigmas. You don’t have to be a girl to wear a skirt, just ask any good Scotsman he will set you right.

NBCOUT Darwinism?

NBCOUT The reason they attempted suicide is because......

NBCOUT That is 2% more than when I was in school.

NBCOUT Yes because it’s a mental illness. A man can never be a woman or a woman a man. Changing your appearance doesn’t change who you are. They’re chasing something that can never be accomplished. Hence why we need treatment not coddling. What other mental illness do we coddle? None.

NBCOUT Hence why they don't belong in the military. If you can't deal with bullies, how the HELL are you going to deal with ENEMY COMBATANTS!?!?

NBCOUT That's what happens when you live in a messed up world where other people always think they know what's best for you.

NBCOUT Maybe it's because they are mentally ill? After all it's not like there is a lack of recognition by the government, big businesses, media, and plenty of affirmative action positions. It's not like they can't sue the country for a 'perfect' bathroom.

NBCOUT Mental illness sucks.

NBCOUT time for a group of rabid right-wingers to swoop in and show us the exact reason for that 35% statistic

NBCOUT And?
