How far can we go being tolerant? (0)

Tolerance is the ability to be fair and understanding to people whose ways and opinions are different from one’s own. It seems like a good and challenging streak to have, but the question is, how far we can go with it. I would say not very far.
More and more media and public encourage us to be tolerant to homosexuals and their lifestyle and many countries have actually made their marriages legal and tolerate them . Also, there have been numerous discussions on whether they should have the right to have, adopt and raise children . To me, it is absolutely unacceptable because this is not normal. They could have good facilities for bringing up children and lots of love to give them, but in my eyes it just is not suitable for a child . How could a child live a normal life having to live with two mothers or two fathers ? It may sound very intolerant and rude from my part , but I do not think any child could live like that and have a normal and healthy life afterwards. I try to be tolerant about gays having untraditional partnerships and think of them as fellow humans and let them live their own lives , but allowing them to raise children is over my line.
Moreover , I am even more confused and concerned about the gender roles. A couple of days ago I saw Oprah talk show where there was a man Thomas , who was pregnant . He was born as a woman , but when she was about twenty five , she had the sex change operation but kept his female genitals. So, ten and more years later he was ready to give birth to a baby. Many people present , including Oprah, were tolerant about that and encouraged him, also said that it is very normal and brave thing to do. Thomas got many supporting letters from all over the world and neighbours baked cakes for him and his wife . But I was shocked to the bone by that. Who was he? A man or a woman? He was a man in appearance, but biologically a woman. He considered himself to be a man, but carried out the female social role . I am confused where are we going to end up when everyone starts having this kind of an identity crisis? I just have no idea .
Continuing on the topic of operations, there is this being beautiful, perfect and forever young mentality. It has become a trend to have plastic surgery and all kind of implants when you are barely twenty five and plus , maybe even younger. The figures keep growing . No wonder, if there are already children’s books on “mummy's going under a knife ”- a role model from early years onwards. And we tolerate these things blindfold, letting everything natural be succeed out of our life. Is this not a bit too overboard? For me, it is.
To sum up, we have to face and tolerate many innovative ideas encouraged by the pursuit of personal freedom , but is it a reason enough to get so mixed up that we do not know who we are any more. I do not think so. I believe men should stay men and women should stay women. Traditional families as a model and not forget about being natural.
Thanks for listening !
