Democrats Need To Demonstrate Their Support
Dear Editor,
Democrats: It’s time to demonstrate your support – one way or the other.
Recently Democrat Sen. Dick Durbin spoke in favor of gender-affirming care. Many Democrats also believe trans-gender people should be allowed to compete against actual biological women; a sexually confused biological male who thinks he is a woman should be allowed to use the locker rooms and bathrooms as actual women; and that it is okay for his flaccid or erect penis to be exposed to anybody using those facilities.
The media should ask every Democrat: “Do you want your mother, wife, sister, daughter, granddaughter or any actual woman in your family to be forced to share a bathroom or locker room with a sexually confused biological guy who thinks he is a woman?” If they say no, that Democrat is a hypocrite for supporting sexually confused biological men who pretend to be women. If they say yes, I wonder what they hear from the actual female members of their family. Think they hear thank you? Probably not.
Ask male politicians that support sexually confused biological men using bathrooms and locker rooms with actual women, do they use woman’s bathrooms and locker rooms to show their support of transgender people. If they don’t, they must not be sexually confused men thinking they are women and instead believe in providing privacy for actual women.
It is time to put up or shut up! Let your actions demonstrate your support of privacy for women or your support for sexually confused biological men who think they are women. You can’t have it both ways.

Charged For Cancelled Service
Dear Editor,
In May, my monthly bill for service from May 20 to June 19 included another stealth rate increase in less than a year. I guess they figured out that their big annual rate increases ran off too many customers, especially that over a few years they are way up.
Now they have more competition, so I cancelled my service on June 1 and returned the equipment on the same day. Even cancelling the service was an ordeal. So I get the next months’ bill – a past due notice for a full month of 31 days for 13 days service. After a heavy sigh, I phoned “customer service” on the 28th. After patiently going over all of this with “Donna” in the Philippines, she told me that “we no longer give pro-rata credits” and that I had to pay the full amount. Then I was threatened with collection and damage to my credit rating.
So, they want to collect money from me that they did not earn and threaten me if I didn’t pay up. Not a chance in hell.
All this is my personal documented experience, and I would hope it would save our readers some conflict. No wonder the internet and phone providers are hated. A threat from them is like a badge of courage.

US Military Is Being Destroyed
Dear Editor,
A recent check of military enlistments showed the Army was down 25 percent in its numbers and I believe the Navy is reporting 10 percent. A study showed that veterans were advising their children not to enlist!
The primary mission of the military is to protect this country. How do they do that? They break things and kill people if necessary. I know that sounds crude but it’s their mission in a nutshell. Woke, whiny politicians seem intent on destroying this great country by undermining our fighting forces, turning them into a PC organization. I can’t blame people telling their children not to join. If they can’t do the job that’s been done for 200-plus years by using tried and true tactics and methods then we’re sending them to their deaths – an unnecessary and senseless death.
Did I know service members who were LGBTQ? Yes. Did they run around flaunting it? No. Would they be mistreated if they were found out? I believe so, by a few. But one thing you have to be aware of, and this applies strongly to the combat arms field, when the stuff starts flying you have to rely on those around you. I’ve had soldiers I wouldn’t trust to guard a latrine and in a firefight that can create a dangerous, deadly situation. And yes, it can include this. In these situations, trust is everything, not to mention the living conditions you are forced to endure.
My personal position is you can claim to be whatever you want as long as you (a) keep it to yourself and (b) do your job to the best of your ability. As hard as it is, I have to admit Clinton found the middle ground with Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. The problem now is the (National Socialist) Democrat Party has (covertly) encouraged folks to come out. Not only that, they are pushing to change the rules to force it on us.
We cannot let this continue. We are slowly destroying the greatest fighting force in the world…no, we are allowing it to happen and can and should, must stop it.
Carpe diem,
Alan Marshall
Ken, I for one don’t look at people genitals in public bathrooms and try best not to in gym locker rooms. But you be you.
FYI, I still don’t support trans competing in their transitioned gender sports as they really should consider coed sports instead as a more reasonable alternative.
Alan says “My personal position is you can claim to be whatever you want as long as you (a) keep it to yourself and (b) do your job to the best of your ability” …but then claims they should hide from people their life such as their life partner, your social activities, etc… People connect by sharing their personal life with others.
Either you support LGTBQ in the military openly or you don’t support them at all. Asking someone to hide the biggest aspect of their personal lives (spouse or partner and social activities) from their peers is not accepting them in you organization. It is adding a massive amount of unnecessary personal stress to their ability to do their job for their country. Letting someone live the best life opening isn’t being woke. It is being a decent human being and living Christ’s message of love they neighbor (note Jesus didn’t say “love your neighbor as you love yourself unless they are gay” did he?).
Poop or get off the pot Alan. You can’t have it both ways. Same goes for how you treated your little baby gay brother. Either you openly support LGTBQ people as fully equal people, or you don’t.
Are Nazis “fully equal people”?
Yes. They deserve the same fair treatment under the law as anyone else. Do note that we have laws against hate speech and threats of violence. But good for you for being worried about Nazis.
“Hate Speech” is speech, therefore it’s protected by the First Amendment. Any laws against free speech are illegal and unconstitutional.
Read the Constitution.
Yes, laws against “hate speech” are akin to laws against “assault weapons”. Both terms are completely open to interpretation and misused to suit one’s needs, but in the end, both types of laws are unconstitutional, plain and simple.
We are all well aware of your love of hate speech.
Good read for you both.

A prerequisite for a legitimate debate is that honest language is used. The deceitful and duplicitous language of the Left must be challenged and refuted.
“Gender Affirming Care”…? At first I thought it meant just what it says; so a confused boy would be assured that he is indeed a male, thus affirming his gender. But no, the lying Left is using this terminology for… sex change surgery!
There is no limit to the mendacity of Leftists.
They won’t even speak in honest English, because they are basically agents of evil, and the Devil, as Jesus said, is “the father of lies”.
A prerequisite for legitimate debate is honesty (not Austin’s strong suit). No ‘boy'(17 or under) has ever been given gender change surgery in US. Gender affirming care for boys who wish to transition to female only include hormone treatments to block or stop puberty process until they reach the age of adulthood. And of course, after extensive phycological screening.
There are medical institutes that have performed breast removal on girls 15 and over. This remains controversial in the medical community.
‘Gender affirming care’ is only a deceitful term if you DON”T believe that the person self-identified gender is more appropriate identifier than the person’s sex. But your bigotry of the LGBTQ community is well documented here in the Rhino Times comment section, so your misunderstanding of the term is understandable.
Can you EVER disagree with anyone without attacking them personally? Smearing others is your M.O. isn’t it, Chris? You really are an unpleasant little man.
But here’s the thing: I am no bigot, despite your attempts to portray me as one. You see, there’s nothing bigoted about pointing out that there are two sexes, one of which has two X chromosomes (female) and one of which has an X and a Y chromosome (male).
That’s just the science – and we know how much you Leftists revere “science”, don’t we?
You continue to ignore that sex and gender are NOT the same thing…why? Because you are bigoted against the LGBTQ community. LOL, cracks me up that you include a bigoted comment in your attempt to show you are not a bigot. LOL.
No, you’re wrong, as usual.
I am perfectly aware of the difference between sex and gender.
I never ask my wife if she feels like having gender.
These so-called psychologists do no screening whatsoever. They go into these sessions with mentally ill people, and affirm their mental illness. That’s not their job. Their job is to diagnose and treat mental illness, not affirm it!
A huge majority of these children in need of “gender affirming care”, if properly treated, would be OK once they get through their adolescent years. Adolescence is a time when children are supposed to grow stronger, not only physically, but mentally, by learning how to deal with what life throws at them. We, as a society, are doing them no favors by coddling them to the point of destroying their reproductive systems, and emboldening them to continue down the path of mental illness. Too many of these youth end up in this situation just because they’re different and end up being influenced by evil, outside forces. Parents are supposed to protect their children from these types of things, not encourage this type of behavior.
Take 90 minutes out of your life and watch the Matt Walsh film “What is a Woman?”, with a semi open mind, and you’ll see the damage being done to our young people, as well as our nation. These educators (indoctrinators), psychologists and doctors who are doing this to our children are the last people who need to be anywhere near children, and should be thrown in jail.
Yes, “gender affirming care” is another word salad to mean support for people who have come to believe they are not who they are biologically, and their brain is telling them something else. In the past, that type of care was best managed by a psychiatrist but today the proponents of gender affirming care means they support you even if you think you are a turtle.
You’re right Joe, gender dysphoria is a mental illness not a physical ailment.
PS The absurdity of all this was trenchantly illustrated by a bumper sticker I saw the other day. It was on the back of a massive Ford F-450 Heavy Duty crew cab pick-up truck (one of the biggest for sale). It said :
” I IDENTIFY AS A PRIUS “.
“Cancelled service” is about TV & Internet service.
Congratulations on cancelling your cable TV service!!
