It is a real pleasure to see her guest speak if you ever have the opportunity. This video is taken out of context, so I am sure people will misinterpret it.

Thanks!

Thats between Them and their God.

Not YOU and their God, but THEM and THEIR God. So if they want to change thats between god and them.

So BACK OFF cause it doesnt concern you. It concerns them and God ok.

"OMG, Jesus made you a man for a reason, don't go changing your gender. "

Jesus told me to tell you that he doesn't give a shit.

"God 'creates' people who are intersex - that is people who physically have traits of both genders..."

Ok good. God created them and Jesus teaches to love other people regardless of their differences. But God's and Jesus' representatives on earth seem to miss that memo, and start doing the opposite of what Jesus teaches.  This is what I stand for: Love everyone regardless of their differences because they are humans and they are not perfect, not because a book says so.

check my video of Kate in Toronto a few weeks ago... watch?v=kKNIQ1XG0dk (it's always important to be able to pick up the dialogue clearly... I was early to be close to the stage.)

@Juanchopepe86 your reverence in how you talk about Jesus is indicative of your lack of Christian beliefs, unless you can use it to suit your needs. God 'creates' people who are intersex - that is people who physically have traits of both genders. There is a vast variety of things in God's creation. Gender is what you feel you are (what's in your mind)... and Sex it's what's between your legs. If Jesus speaks to you again, I'd be sure it was Him... His first law is to love one another.

My dad once told me a "joke". There were 2 rabbits running from a wolf, One rabbit says to the other, Do you think we'll make it? To which the other replied, Boy we got to make it! I said Dad I don't get it? He smiled and said, you will.

ABOUT JESUS; Who do you think you are that you believe you can interpret the will of an all knowing and perfect being? Are you all knowing? Are you perfect? If not, then I would hypothesize you would be WAY WRONG. What makes a person a man or a woman genetically and hormonally is a biological function having very little to do with what one person who is not all knowing and perfect in being might think in a snide quick comment. (Which would compared to Jesus probably be very little.)

She's a legend!

oh how i adore kate!

Oh, lighten up. It's funny! I am a trans woman who has not "mastered" a feminine voice. This is all true, and hurts and makes one laugh because it is true. So much of the process is exactly as she describes it, and there is humor it that. Just because Bill Cosby makes fun of dentists, does not invalidate the voracity of dentists.
