If you had the power to change one law, what would it be and why?
Taxation is an evil that many believe is necessary. However, it also forces people to pay for wars, abortion, animal slaughter, and every other morally reprehensible thing. So if I could change one law, that would be my first choice to abolish all forms of tax.
Chastity and Judena talk about the red herring and other logical fallacies which distract from the topic being discussed and lead to dishonest communication by bringing up new subjects that have no relevance to what you were talking about in the first place.
Matthew 5:33-37
“33 “Again, you have heard that it was said to an older generation, ‘Do not break an oath, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.’ 34 But I say to you, do not take oaths at all—not by heaven because it is the throne of God, 35 not by earth because it is his footstool, and not by Jerusalem because it is the city of the great King. 36 Do not take an oath by your head because you are not able to make one hair white or black. 37 Let your word be ‘Yes, yes’ or ‘No, no.’ More than this is from the evil one.”
The following is the final version of the speech directly as I read it in Washington DC at the March for Life. I had to do it quickly because there were many speakers but the people loved it.
My name is Chastity, and I am a transgender woman here to represent the Rainbow Pro-Life Alliance as well as the Transgender people specifically. I am the last person you might expect to see at a Pro-Life event because I am not aligned with a specific church, political party, or anything else that you have been told is the foundation of defending the unborn. Still, I do follow the Golden Rule as taught by Jesus and other great teachers.
As a former fetus, I speak for those who have not lived to speak for themselves. I speak for the unborn humans who were declared unworthy of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Each one of them was a human who would have been capable of doing many of the things I enjoy. I am not more or less worthy of life than those who were aborted for whatever reason invented by doctors, politicians, their parents, and whoever else convinced them that murder was the only solution to a child they saw as a problem.
As an Asexual and Transgender person, I speak for many of the LGBTQIA+ people who were murdered or driven to suicide because they looked different, loved a person of the wrong gender, or were born with a soul or body that could not conform to the binary that society arbitrarily decided was required to earn family, friends, employment, housing, or medical care.
For me personally, being Pro-Life is about protecting the lives of the most innocent souls who have done nothing wrong but have been killed and robbed of their life and future choices. The Pro-Choice philosophy does not respect their choices to live and become what they were conceived to be. Every single choice we make depends on being allowed to live long enough to know what these choices are, and also to understand that no choice would be possible unless our parents had chosen to let us live.
The Pro-Choice philosophy does not ultimately care about our bodily autonomy because this ideology says it would have been completely okay for every single one of us to have been murdered in the womb. The only choice offered by those claiming to be Pro-Choice is Abortion.
I also ask you to forgive many of the other Rainbow people who have been deceived into the Pro-Choice ideology, which promised to respect their bodily autonomy but failed to deliver on these promises, and only gave them death as a solution. Every one of the gay, transgender, and intersex people can be targeted for termination by detecting “genetic defects” which make us different, even at the DNA level. Discrimination against my people is just as common both before and after we are born.
If the mainstream Cisgender Heterosexual Pro-Life people and the LGBTQIA+ community worked together and remembered who the real enemy is, it would lead to a much safer world for all of us. There are many misunderstandings based on false information. People like me and the others in Rainbow Pro-Life Alliance are a bridge to help the two sides see that we are not enemies by nature, but because we have been given the wrong messages by those who profit from confusing us to win elections or make money from killing us.
And despite what you may have heard, the Pro-Life movement is the greatest ally that the LGBTQIA+ community can have, because you are fighting for our lives, even if you don’t truly know who or what we are. You may not know much about my community, nor do you have to agree with me about everything. But I am here today to tell you that as long as we agree that it is wrong to kill the most innocent people before they have a chance to live their lives, I think we can come to a better understanding over time and bridge the divide between the Rainbow people and the rest of the Pro-Life movement.
For today’s post, I am doing something a little bit different. I am scheduled to fly on January 22 with some friends to the March for Life event that is held annually in Washington, DC. This year will be my first time at the March for Life, and it was the first time I considered it as a possibility, even though I have always wanted to go.
In November 2025, I had discussed it in a board meeting with the other members of the Rainbow Pro-Life Alliance. Our group is planning an event that night. See our website: for details on attending.
However, I am nervous about the travel aspect of this trip. First of all, only yesterday I was made aware of the new law of a REAL ID being required to fly on airplanes. With less than two weeks before the trip, I won’t have time to apply for a REAL ID and receive it in time. However, I should still be permitted to fly by bringing all the required documentation to prove my identity, residence, and citizenship. I have my original birth certificate, social security card, and will print my lease and renters’ insurance at a print shop next week.
As it turns out, I don’t have any mail delivered to my current address and am still receiving mail at my mom’s place. There is also the increasingly digital world we live in, such as the fact that utility bills, bank statements, W-2s, and other documents are all digital PDF files that I have to go to FedEx or Copy-Rite in Lee’s Summit to get printed. As an aside, I could write an entire post about the reasons I don’t have a working printer at home, nor do I have a chance because of my insistence on using only Linux and Free and Open Source Software.
By the time I get to the airport, I will have all the documentation to prove anything I need, so they should let me on the plane. However, that is only one aspect of this trip that makes me nervous.
I am a little bit worried about the TSA body scanners and pat-downs that I will have to endure to be allowed to fly. For most people, this is probably not an issue because most are passable as either a male or a female. The agents have to select which mode the machines scan the body, and there are certain things they expect. However, for transgender people like me, our bodies do not match what machines or humans expect to see.
I never changed my name or gender marker legally, and so they will probably scan me as a male in the machine, then the machine will think I have something strange in my chest because of my boobs. Yet they can’t scan me as a female either, because then it will detect my penis, which I could never afford to get removed. But beyond that, I am just nervous about how the agents will treat me because they could be people who don’t like transgender people and might harass me.
With all these fears and doubts, you might wonder why I still want to go to the March for Life. I want to go because I am the Token Transgender person of the Rainbow Pro-Life Alliance. We are not your average Pro-Life Organization, and this will be the biggest event I have participated in with them so far.
The following is the first draft of an essay/speech I have prepared to explain who I am and why I think the LGBTQIA+ community should be involved in the Pro-Life vs Pro-Choice debate on Abortion.
My name is Chastity, and I am here to represent the Rainbow Pro-Life Alliance as well as the Transgender people specifically.
Many people believe that the Pro-Life Movement depends on a specific branch of Christianity that is full of people who hate gay and transgender people. The media and the Pro-Abortion lobby continue to promote this lie because the last thing they want is for us to all work together.
Being Pro-Life is about protecting the lives of the most innocent group of humans: those who have done nothing wrong because they haven’t even been born yet. Those who choose to let these children live are making the statement that they should be allowed to live their lives and do what they were made to do, whether or not we agree with the people that they will become. Therefore, the Pro-Life position is ultimately Pro-Choice by allowing these babies to be born and make their choices, for better or worse.
On the contrary, the Pro-Choice position cannot in any way respect the choices or bodily autonomy of humans because the Pro-Choice philosophy ultimately says it would have been completely okay to murder them in the womb. The only choice offered by those claiming to be Pro-Choice is Abortion. When it comes to choice over who to vote for in elections, whether to homeschool children, or choosing to vaccinate these children or not, they often do not respect the choice of the parents.
I speak as an Asexual Transgender person who will not Procreate. I have no financial or social reason for being Pro-Life. I am also not associated with a particular religion. However, I do follow the Golden Rule above all principles and find value in the teachings of Jesus, as many others do. Yet, I speak and write my opinions as part of the Rainbow Pro-Life Alliance, as well as an individual who knows quite clearly that people like me are those most likely to be killed both before and after birth.
I do not have the power to make the world understand the unique experience of being Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, or Asexual. However, what I can do is tell you that I see parallels between the hate crimes against the Rainbow people and the unborn babies.
Gay people have historically been murdered, denied housing, employment, and disowned by friends and family. Moreover, they have been accused of being a danger to children.
Transgender people are currently experiencing what Gay people did years ago. We are murdered or arrested just because we look different or because we used the “wrong” restroom, even if it does match our biological sex. More often than not, we are told that our identity is not “real” but merely a mental illness that can only be cured by murdering us or sending us to conversion therapy until we commit suicide from hopelessness and rejection.
However, much to my disappointment, I have seen many of the LGBTQIA+ people embrace a Pro-Choice philosophy that says it is okay to murder the unborn for any reason or no reason given at all. Ultimately, I reject that anyone has the right to murder anyone, whether born or unborn, male or female, Jew or Gentile, gay or straight, black or white.
I believe that the only reason the LGBTQIA+ mostly embraces the Pro-Choice ideology is that they falsely believe the movement is about respecting their bodily autonomy. They can even get some services at Planned Parenthood, but at a price of working with the enemy, which is the actual danger to children, because it makes a profit from killing them. For many of us, the Pro-Abortion message is the only one we hear, because we have not been welcome in Church nor seen Christians who act as Jesus taught them to.
If the mainstream Cisgender Heterosexual Pro-Life people and the LGBTQIA+ community worked together and remembered who the real enemy is, it would lead to a much safer world for all of us. There are many misunderstandings based on false information. People like me and the others in Rainbow Pro-Life Alliance are a bridge to help the two sides see that we are not enemies by nature, but because we have been given the wrong messages by those who profit from confusing us to win elections or make money from killing us.
And despite what you may have heard, the Pro-Life movement is the greatest ally that the LGBTQIA+ community can have, because we are at higher risk for being aborted due to supposed “genetic defects,” which can actually explain a lot of the causes of why people are Gay, Transgender, or Intersex.
You may not know much about my community, nor do you have to agree with me about everything. But I am here today to tell you that as long as we agree that it is wrong to kill the most innocent people before they have a chance to life their life, I think we can come to a better understanding over time and bridge the divide between the Rainbow people and the rest of the Pro-Life movement.

This month I started a Programming 1 class as part of Full Sail University’s ACE program. One of the other students asked me some questions and I ended up writing a larger response than I planned. I think my information will be helpful for other people who are new to programming.
Hello chastity, I’m Ty. I appreciate you teaching others what you know. I do not know anything about programming, but I’m hoping I learn a lot from this college course and make friends like you. I would love any tips you have for me, as a programmer newbie. What language to start with? Fundamental apps, tools, services, etc.. anything I should to start. Thank you chastity.
There are many tools I can recommend. Mostly, I stick with Free and Open Source software. I write most of my code in the C Programming Language, which came before C++. I use the GCC compiler, and I even use GNU Make to automate compiling and running my programs.
I am looking forward to learning about how C++ is different than C. I always found C to be an easy language because it is smaller than C++, and I have most of the functions memorized.
Also, you may find this helpful.
https://chastitywhiterose.github.io/Chastity-Code-Cookbook/
It is a book/website I have been writing to help teach programming, but also to share some of my impressive code examples and philosophy of why I promote Free Software.
Everything on there is entirely free and released under the GPL3 license. I consider it my act of community service to give back to the open source community because it has benefitted me all my life. I have a blast compiling my C programs on Debian Linux with GCC on computers too old to run modern versions of Windows. I don’t even use an IDE. I only use a console and a text editor as if I were living in the 1980s. But at least this Programming 1 course teaches things as most humans would find convenient.
I can also probably help you with specific programming questions. What operating system do you use, and how is your general math knowledge? I think you will find that no matter what programming language becomes your favorite, every data type really is numbers, even such things as colors or coordinates for shapes in video games.
Most of the magic in the video game, Chaste Tris, that I published comes from my knowledge of numbers rather than it does being a good programmer. I consider myself more of a gamer and mathematician than I am a skilled programmer.

I also wanted to mention some cool text editors that you might like. On Windows, Notepad++ is the most convenient text editor because it has syntax highlighting, but it loads up faster than Visual Studio if you are doing your own programming for fun, which isn’t required for the class.
https://notepad-plus-plus.org/
But I also recommend Geany because it runs on Windows, Mac, or Linux. I use it quite a bit when I need my code to be more readable for larger projects.
I think the most important feature of a text editor and/or IDE for a programmer is the ability to see the line numbers because when a compiler tells me an error I have on a specific line, being able to see which line that number is on helps out a lot. The second most important feature is to choose a highlighting syntax that is easy on your eyes. Each person is different, and their eyes perceive colors differently. A lot of these editors will let you choose a scheme that works for you, or even create your own. For example, you might like numbers to be in blue text and functions to be green. Or maybe you like a black background with bright colors like magenta or yellow for the text. I like my code to look beautiful as well as to compile and run successfully.
