(He/Him/His) No penis, identifies as a male
April 14, 2021 at 12:14 am
No penis, identifies as a male. Christians call him God.
Yet they can't be polite enough to use the proper pronoun for trans people.
Yet they practically want to have mandatory genital inspections to use public toilets.
They are against genital surgery for minors, yet they perpetuate elective surgery on the infant male penis.
Jesus is like Pinocchio. He's the bastard son of a carpenter. And a liar. And he wishes he was real.

The problem with biases is that you can't really legislate for most of it.
What you are basically asking for is even more laws and even less freedom.
Basically, it's one thing to control what people can't say, but now you'd like the law to control what people must say. That's a very dangerous slippery slope.
Especially in the land of the brave and the free.
Laws will not change people's attitudes, the laws are there to reflect societies attitudes.

The mob rules. 1. I don't think proposed pronouns be mandatory by legal dictate. I think he was saying it's simply impolite not to use the right pronouns. But even if he were do people have the right to deny someone else's existence or just as bad deny them dignity?
2.I must disagree about laws. Laws should not reflect the prejudices of people they should protect the vulnerable from those prejudices.

People assume that God is male for many reasons, like because Bible is sexist
![[Image: Sexist.jpg]](https://i.postimg.cc/gc7r0s0Z/Sexist.jpg)
And therefore Christians are trying to be like their God.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I'm not proposing mandated speech, just pointing out typical Christian stupidity and hypocrisy.

That's just something that the oligarchy tells the mob to deflect blame and criticism for our sorry state of affairs. It helps to compel that same mob to vote against it's own interests fearing that those are the interests of the hated other.

Freedom goes both ways in the land of the free. Trans people should be free to be treated with same basic care and respect as any other human being, including being addressed using the correct pronouns.

Agree LFC. But what can you do about the bible thumping horde who refuse? Legally force them? At the expense of eroding everyone's personal liberty that little bit more ...
There's that slippery slope thing again.
What depresses me most is that we need to resort to legislation just to dish out common courtesy to our fellow human beings.

Yes, we can force the bible thumping horde to do a great many things regardless of their personal opinions on a given subject.
While we're lead to wring our hands over some imaginary abrogation of rights that amounts to people calling assholes..... assholes, those same christian assholes are very much exempting themselves from things like employment and tax laws. Concern trolling the ever living shit out of anyone foolish enough to believe that their rights even could be abrogated in our system. Perfect example of fitness over truth.
When the nutjobs tell you that wokeness™ is going to bite you in the ass..that's not a cautionary suggestion, it's a threat they're currently making good on.
