  • March for Life Re-Condensed Pro-Life Speech

    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.

    March for Life Re-Condensed Pro-Life Speech

    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.

  • Plans for March for Life 2026

    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.

    Why I am a Pro-Life Transgender Woman

    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.

  • Chapter 15: Love the Sinner Hate the Sin

    So many times in my life, I have heard the phrase “Love the sinner, hate the sin”. On the surface, it sounds good because you are saying that you love someone but disagree with what they do, but this calls into question both the intent behind the person speaking it and who they are saying it to.

    Interestingly, the only time I can remember hearing “Love the sinner, hate the sin” is when Christians are judging people for being gay or transgender. It doesn’t really work very well in this context because the person doesn’t know what the “sin” is that they are talking about. Imagine if you said, “Love the black person but hate the sin”. This statement implies that you think someone born with black skin has somehow sinned or erred in some way, as if they could have done something different and been born with a different skin color.

    I know what you’ll say next: “But being gay is a choice!”

    First, it isn’t a choice in any meaningful sense. Second, if it were a choice, it would actually be a fine choice. Third, you know what is a choice? Shutting up when you don’t know what you’re talking about.

    I will use 2 examples to illustrate the point I am making.

    Judging the Gay Person

    A person finds out that someone they know is gay. Then they start talking about hating their sin or their sinful lifestyle. But the truth is, a straight person does not know what sin they are speaking about. Are they speaking about the sin of being attracted to the same sex, which is not an action? Are they talking about a specific sexual action the person is doing? Are they in their house watching them as they do this action by themself or with their partner and judging them for doing it wrong? What specifically are they even talking about?

    Judging the Transgender Person

    Suppose someone discovers that someone is transgender, or simply assumes it because they don’t look like what they think a man or woman should look like. Some thoughts they might have include

    • That person is too tall to be a woman! They must really be a man pretending to be a woman! Someone call the police!
    • That woman has a deep voice, I bet she is really a man!
    • That woman has small boobs, I bet it’s a man!
    • That woman has facial hair, it’s a man! Protect the children!
    • That man has boobs; it must have been a woman, but it has a beard. What the hell is it?
    • That man sounds like a woman. I bet she tried to act like a man because she was such an ugly woman!

    These are just a few examples of the things I have heard or read. Most of the time, these things are said on Facebook or YouTube comments on a news story about someone who was just trying to use the restroom or play a sport.

    But what I have noticed is that while gay people are judged for actions (whether real or imaginary), transgender people are judged for how their body looks. Whether they are being judged by how tall or short they are, the sound of their voice, or the size of their breasts (why are people staring at other people’s chests so much?), the point of all these sayings is to insult people for how they look. What is the sin they are hating as they claim to love the sinner? Wait, is a woman sinning if she grows facial hair due to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome? What about these thoughts or words about the size of their breasts? Is having a certain size of boobs a sin? What is the correct breast size, and how does someone make their boobs bigger or smaller?

    More context is needed even to know what the sin is that they are referring to. Most of the time, this person is very vague on what the sin is. That is because they don’t really know any information about the person they are judging. This phrase is used mostly to strangers whom they don’t know.

    When someone speaks of “sin”, the context usually implies that they think the person has made an error or is doing something morally wrong. These two definitions get mixed up. I will call these definitions A and B.

    Sin Version A: Making a wrong move, such as moving a chess piece that causes the loss of the game, or forgetting a semicolon in a C program that you are compiling. Or perhaps “missing the mark” when you throw a ball or shoot an arrow at a target.

    Sin Version B: Doing something that hurts someone, such as murder, lying, stealing, or committing adultery (having sex with someone other than your spouse).

    Sin versions A and B are not the same thing, and they are not compatible. Sin A refers to a mistake made when playing a game or doing some action that has no harmful consequences. Sin B means you did something that hurt a person, either permanently by killing them, or at least temporarily, such as stealing their money that you can theoretically pay back.

    Interestingly, when people say “Love the sinner, hate the sin”, they are not usually talking about a type B of sin. They don’t usually say it about murderers, rapists, thieves, or liars. No, instead they call the police, bring a lawsuit against them, or cut off contact with them. Do they talk about loving these people? No, they are too busy trying to protect themselves from this person who has hurt them or their friends/family.

    But more importantly, can you still love someone while you are posting on Facebook about how much you hate someone’s sin? It is kind of a hard thing to balance. Love and hate don’t usually go in the same sentence. How about just loving the sinner and leaving it at that?

    But once again, you are calling someone a sinner, as if somehow they are more in the wrong than you are. It is still hypocritical to speak of your neighbor as someone you love in spite of their being a sinner. When a person says this, they are implying that they are perfect and somehow not being a sinner, and this gives them the right to call someone else a sinner.

    Matthew 7:1 "Do not judge so that you will not be judged. 2 For by the standard you judge you will be judged, and the measure you use will be the measure you receive. 3 Why do you see the speck in your brother’s eye, but fail to see the beam of wood in your own? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye,’ while there is a beam in your own? 5 You hypocrite! First, remove the beam from your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

    It’s also worth mentioning that the statement “Love the sinner, hate the sin” only applies in the context of Christianity. Rarely do non-Christians ever use the word “sin”. However, the culture, most of which has been raised in one of the denominations of Christianity, understands that you are judging them, even if they are not sure what they are being judged for.

    The only advice I can give here is to stop using this phrase unless you are prepared to be very specific in what way you love someone, and also what sin it is that you hate. And PLEASE CHOOSE A DIFFERENT SIN ONCE IN A WHILE. The LGBTQIA+ people are tired of being picked on as if we are the only sinners. You would be wise to look at what sins you and many other self-identified “Christians” are doing while distracting themselves with the sins of others, so that they don’t have to change their own behavior. Remove all the sin from your own life, then we will talk.

  • Chapter 11: What the Gay Marriage Debate is REALLY about

    When I was in my early twenties, I heard the occasional mention of gay marriage. At the time, I did not understand why it was a big deal, nor did I have a clue why gay people wanted so badly to be married. I figured that marriages were doomed from the start and that if gay people wanted to be as miserable as straight people, then let them have same sex marriage!

    But that was over 15 years ago, and since then, I have learned so much more in terms of what the debate over marriage equality is about. I can tell you with certainty that it is about money as well as other important rights and privileges that governments only give to married people.

    There are more than 1100 benefits that married couples receive that single people don’t have access to. The following links cover them in more detail than I could ever explain on my own.

    http://www.whymarriagematters.org/pages/protections-and-responsibilities-of-marriage

    https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/living-single/201804/unearned-privilege-1000-laws-benefit-only-married-people

    https://www.getlegal.com/legal-info-center/family-law-divorce/marriage/

    I must admit, I was very surprised to hear that there were so many laws that affect married people and that they pay less taxes than single people. I even remember hearing someone in a podcast mention that he only got married for the tax benefits.

    Silly me, I thought that marriage was just a contract of commitment and a ceremony to tell your other friends and family that: “Hey, this person is special to me and I want to spend the rest of my life with them. Anyone who hurts them will get a good old country ass wuppin.”

    I know that my opinion as a Confused Virgin doesn’t count for much on the topic of marriage. However, that raises other questions:

    • Why are married people respected more than single people
    • Why would the government and health insurance companies be so financially invested in making people get married just so that they get financial benefits?
    • Why have these same rights and privileges been denied to people of the same sex who basically live like straight married couples do?
    • And most importantly, shouldn’t marriage be between two people instead of the government and random strangers who get offended about other people’s marriages?

    It seems there is a lot more to this topic, and my thoughts have evolved a lot over the past 20 years. I naturally support gay marriage because I want my Rainbow people to experience these benefits the same way straight people do.

    But at the same time, a part of me says that maybe the idea of legal marriage should be abolished entirely. I think that having the entire legal and economic system forcing people to get married for financial reasons or just to give someone health insurance can lead to dishonesty. People may get married to the wrong person and then have a nasty divorce later, all because they got married for tax benefits.

    But the law is not the only problem. People also respect married people more than single people. If you happen to be a 38-year-old single virgin, people look at you and wonder what the hell is wrong with you that nobody wants to partner with you.

    Moreover, it draws suspicion. After a while, people who should be minding their own business start coming up with their own theories as to why certain people are single and never married.

    But I believe in living a life of honesty, and therefore, I am glad that I did not end up in the wrong marriage. If someone gets married to a person of the opposite sex just to gain legal benefits or to avoid judgment by society for being single, then they may face trouble.

    • A gay man may be having sex with his wife while he is really thinking about his secret gay partner that he would rather be with, if only it were legal.
    • An asexual person may not enjoy sex, but they are afraid to tell their spouse for fear that they will leave them, and they could potentially become homeless without their partner’s income and support.
    • A transgender person may wish to come out and be their true selves. Still, they know that their spouse would certainly divorce them if they did not approve of their transition, or they just could not take the criticism from society for being married to someone who is so hated by most of the population.

    I can tell you, being single gets lonely sometimes, but there are benefits to being single that people who got married at a young age will also never experience. I wish happiness to all the people: gay or straight, single or married.

    Everyone must do what is right for them. At no point should the government or anyone else be rewarding or punishing people for who their partner happens to be, or if they cannot find anyone at all who wants to be with them.

  • Chapter 6: Can someone be Gay and a Christian?

    Many people are told by their Christian friends, family, and church members that being a Christian and being gay are incompatible. This controversy has led many LGBTQIA+ people away from Christianity to seek out other religions or become atheists because they believe they have no choice.

    I know this because I was once in a similar situation. Although being an Asexual Transgender person has allowed me to effortlessly live a life of celibacy, as many religious people say is the only way for an LGBTQIA person to live, it does not allow me to be accepted by most Christians.

    And let’s be honest about one thing. Most non-LGBT people don’t even know the difference between being Transgender and Gay. Who can blame them? After all, we are all suspiciously fabulous.

    And although I am Asexual, many people believe it is just my denial of my homosexuality. But I don’t deny that I have gay moments 1 percent of the time like that one time I bought a loaf of sourdough bread at the Hy-Vee bakery just because the guy who worked there was cute.

    But the main point is I know I will never be accepted by most who call themselves Christians. However, I have come to my understanding with God over time and have learned to conveniently ignore the opinions of people who pretend they know about my “sinful lifestyle” when they don’t know anything about me because they haven’t spent time with me.

    I am not the most qualified to write about all the controversies between an LGBTQIA identity and what the Bible or church tradition says. However, I know some authors that have been a great help to me. I want to recommend 3 different books written by 3 different authors.

    Walking the Bridgeless Canyon: Repairing the Breach Between the Church and the LGBT Community by Kathy Baldock

    Torn: Rescuing the Gospel from the Gays-vs.-Christians Debate by Justin Lee

    God and the Gay Christian: The Biblical Case in Support of Same-Sex Relationships by Matthew Vines

    All of these books contain historical context and differences in translation between different Bible versions. Justin Lee and Matthew Vines are both gay men who can speak from personal experience in reconciling their Christian beliefs with their gay reality. Kathy Baldock is not LGBT at all, but she started researching this topic because of her experiences with her gay friends.

    These books have been helpful to me, but before I found books like this to offer me a new perspective, I had a different way of handling the situation. Instead of seeing my identity as a sin and rebellion against God’s design, I think of the example of a butterfly. The following is a post I wrote about it.

    The Meaning of the Butterfly Hairclip

    Chastity stood before the mirror. She was fully ready for work. She had just put her hair in a ponytail using the butterfly hair clip she bought at Walmart, where she worked.

    She took a good look and realized how much she loved the way she looked. The sight of her always inspired people to ask her whether she was a boy or a girl. The truth that Honesty the Unicorn had given her was that it was complicated.

    And it is. Chastity did believe that there were two genders, but she knew that she was both of them. Just as the chessboard is half black and half white, so was she more than one thing. Her brother-in-law joked about how she was the best of both worlds. She was both and yet unmistakably felt that a female identity suited her better.

    After all, Chastity is known as a girl’s name. Of course, it was assumed that if someone vowed celibacy, it had to be a female. So, she knew she was a female Vegan Virgin.

    But if a man can also take the same vow. He would be Mister Chastity. It was true that Chandler and his experience would always be a part of Chastity.

    But of course, Chandler had transformed into Chastity just like a caterpillar turns into a butterfly. The symbolism of the transformation of the caterpillar is what her hair clip truly meant.

    People say that a picture is worth a thousand words. Chastity now knew this to be the truth. She had thousands of words to say. But humans say a lot of things that make no sense. Some say that God does not make mistakes. To those people, Chastity often joked that they would think differently if they ever looked in the mirror.

    But now, Chastity was standing in front of the mirror. She did not see a mistake at all. She was a hybrid of a man and a woman. Her mother was a writer and poet. Her father was a chess player and kept huge amounts of data on computers about his genealogy.

    Chastity stored gigabytes of data of a very different type. Chastity stored words and pictures on her computer and cell phone. Sometimes, she even used artificial intelligence to turn her words into songs. She wasn’t a musician like her mother was, but she definitely could sing.

    Chastity was the hybrid of her parents, but she was more than that. She had both the body and soul of a genderfuck, although she does not fuck anyone of any gender. Because she is Chastity White Rose, the Vegan Virgin, in this, God did not make a mistake.

    Some said that Chastity was sinning by transitioning to a new name and female identity because God had intended for Chastity to remain a man. But no one would tell a butterfly that it was wrong to transform because that was exactly how God planned it. Who are these humans who claim to know what God had intended for Chastity? She was like a butterfly, and when she wore her hair clip, only those who knew this secret meaning could understand how beautiful it was. Chastity finally had her wings.
