Luckily on iPhones, you can turn this feature off, which I always do on all phones as soon as I set it up.

I'm asking because I think I may have misunderstood your points above regarding gays. I do make a distinction here between them and trans folks for a simple reason. If two dudes are gay, they do whatever they want - I don't see them hurting anyone. In fact, those two may have a more stable and normal relationship than normal couples.

However, having a completely unrealistic picture of yourself and of your organism, as well as having the need for others to refer to you in a special way...there I think we're crossing into the weird waters. That was my point. I don't think gays have anything to do with beliefs, as you referred to earlier.

I didn't mention anything about gays :confused: Only thing I mentioned was in response to someone else's post(s) and saying there is no such thing as a "gay gene".

My posts were in reference to gender identity issues.

Back-peddling. This b!tch knew what she said and meant what she said.

I've always turned these off. I don't pay attention to them and even if I did read it, I'm not going to remember it.

BTW, do the alerts come through even if you silence your phone?

To get votes, of course! Same reason they’ve opened our borders.

Yep. The illegals coming across the boarder are future democraps. That's why there is a push to allow them to vote. When they register to vote. The person helping them will register them as democrap.

Yeah that is what I was interested, I think that a "gay gene" would make sense here, because it would trigger someone to like same sex instead of the opposite, thereby causing homosexuality. I don't think it's something someone learned.

But ok, anyway, beating a dead horse here.
