Your party has crossed a line. I have to tell it like it is. You should not be defending this behavior. It is mean to the people to whom your party would deny treatment...and indeed, make the illness worse. Your political party supports perpetrating evil on individuals for group gains. It is just a fact. That is why I oppose the Left.
I'm a freedom loving guy when it comes to politics. For example, I would oppose government restrictions on consenting homosexual behavior, just for example. Leave the condemnations of consensual behavior to churches, who only try to use persuasion, not force--very different from government. I am not driven to impose my values on others using the power of government (even through the government schools). But, your side wants to do this. And, I draw the line when an entire political party starts treating a mental illness as if it is normal just so they can demonize the people who want to help them because they want to rally their own party members against the people who would help them.
You support a party which is a direct threat to the very individuals (e.g., transgenders) that the party pretends to care about. Your party supports changing science to meet political objectives. Your party supports the grooming of kids to open their minds to adult sexual behaviors at an early age, because you think that the individuals who partake in that sexual activity vote more for you than for the GOP. All of that is a threat to real individuals. When I choose to speak on this issue, I must speak the truth.
In this post, I have criticized your party, not you. You can tell me whether or not you personally identify with those values that harm children and the mentally ill. Your posts indicate that you do, but I will let you speak, since you seem to be taking personal offense.
