THE MONTH OF JUNE IS A VERY VERY SPECIAL MONTH

from JoeUser Forums

Many of you may not have realized that this is a very special month, June is the month I am referring to. This special fact overrides the fact of the National Spelling Bee contest and overrides the fact that the summer starts in this month.   This overrides D-Day because presidency for its the whole month and not just one day.

Some of you may not realize what I'm talking about while others may be partying it up so much cause of it that you just didn't realize it.  Obama made last June a set aside month.  A month set aside for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered month.  I am not here to talk about people sexual orientation (when ever I hear that word I think of a seminar about sexual).  That is for another post and another time for I believe if you like at the past you'll see a trend and historians are picking up on this yet that is for another time.

Here are some of my thoughts. First what about other races, ethnic groups, or whatever?  What about Native Americans, white people as well as a lot of other ethnic groups have killed them.  Oh what about having a month dedicated about Jews (no I am not speaking about religion either, so don't give me any of that non-sense.  I am not saying religion is non-sense either,  by far.)

Second, how does this help?  Yeah, I know it suppose to bring my attention and I am suppose to learn about the group of the month.  How does one month do any justice for what ever group?  What really is the purpose?  Some say that it is to bring people together.  I beg to differ.  I think that this divides more than bring together.  It makes the groups that don't have months seem inferior or not important.

Should we or are we going to give/have a group for every month? Do I think/is that what I am saying? No and no.  I don't think we should have a group every month.  I think that this is absurd.  We live in a politically correct society.  Everything has to fair and equal.  Well fair and equal to some. In Animal Farm (its a book), there is a quote that goes something like this 'All animals are made equal, but some were made more equal than others.'  Everything is fair and equal, its just more fair and equal to some but not others.

I can attest to this and being on the end of not being quite fair and equal.  Yes, being in a politically correct society is destructive for some but not all and that's a conversation for another post. 

On a less serious note: Why do Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered get a whole month while blacks get a............. (If you don't get this joke let me know I'll explain to you about Feburary.)

I believe naming a month for any group is an empty gesture at best and at worst takes away from everyone equality. Do blacks only feel proud in February? Somehow I doubt it. But if it makes it special for you, I say pick whatever month you like and make it your own, and why stop there. How about a year, a life time. Do you really need congress or anyone else, seeking to court political favor, need to tell you to be aware?

hahhahahhaha!  Actually, American Medial Associate and John Hopkins (they stopped doing it but that was five years ago) have found that transgendered individuals are still not happy in their 'new' gender.  In fact, they both found that usually the individual is worse.

The issue comes down to accepting yourself.  I would gander to say that a high percentage of people in the United States have very low-self esteem, self-confidence, and self-image.  Changing gender you would still have those issues.  I have had friends tell me from non-european countries tell me that people from the States are the most medicated angry depressed people with everything at their finger tips.

If you don't like yourself with 10 lbs its not going to change after the 10 lbs is lost.

Interesting information TPP.  I have not looked into it, so do not know how many transgenders there are in the world.  However, the ones you do read about seem to be the ones at least "proclaiming" their happiness.

I tend to agree with you on the self esteem part.  If you do not like yourself, there is not a lot that is going to change that.

Our country, the U.S., really doesn't want you to have high self-esteem (it might just be the West) because think about low self-esteem you'll go with the flow. 

When enough of the middle-class people realize I'm sick of going with the flow and I'm sick of being told how I should be/should look.  This country better watch out.

It seems to set young people up for failure with events such as "competitions" where both teams are winners. It seems wonderful... in its concept but when they make it to the real world the bar is so low they can't cope with failure. It takes a lot of time and effort to take build confidence in a person that has little. It's also why affirmative action is bad, skills are unimportant if you know you're needed to fill a quota.

Like all things liberal, they look at life as a pie.  So if one gets a lot of something, then they must be depriving others of that thing.  So it is with money, so it is with self esteem.
