If we are mentally ill, it's because the abuse, hatred, bigotry, ostracizing, and violence we've had to endure has made us fucking mentally ill. It's people like you who make us crazy. We would be fine if we were left alone, treated like human beings, felt safe, and got proper fucking care to have our bodies match up with our hearts, our minds and our souls.
YOU are the cause of mental illness, Jeffy. YOU!
Comparing us or gender dysphoria to cancer... FUCK. YOU! Considering what cancer has cost me, considering the loved ones I've watched fight cancer, considering the loved ones taken from me by cancer.. How dare you, you sick sadist thug? If you had any idea what cancer was... If you had a heart.. Hell, if you had a brain... You would not throw around that term lightly or make such a vile comparison.
And since I haven't said it in a few sentences... FUCK YOU, Jeff Shipley.
Lastly, why don't you take your "Holy Spirit" and shove it up your ass? The First Amendment gives you the right to worship whatever you wish.. It does not give you the right to force your so-called Christianity upon us, or use it as a Trojan Horse to spread bigotry.
In closing: Fuck you, Jeff Shipley. And fuck you, Jeff Shipley's holy spirit.
I hate Iowa Nazis.
