We already have the word irrationality for that.  Why do you use a separate word for the same thing?

Do synonyms offend you?

What is the difference between male and female genders then?

Just out of curiosity, what is your theory about how cisgendered individuals determine that they are cisgendered? Obviously, not all people of a biological sex do identify their birth sex as correlating with their gender. How do the others, the normies, come to their conclusion about their gender?

He doesn't have one, it's all a pretense for insisting that other people are somehow sexualizing kids, despite the fact that it's him and his nutball groomer buddies that made it a thing. Fucking disgusting, if you ask me.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Don't use transgenderism as an excuse to,introduce sexual matters to first graders. Just be who and what you are.

I am amazed that all you science-minded people so easily abandon your principles that you use to beat me over the head. You can't even come up with one characteristic that separates the genders. I  am a theist by definition because I believe in God. I can't not believe in God and be an theist because I personally define theism that way. What happened to science and logic?

Who is doing this?  Do you think that trans people are recruiting first graders?

I have lived in the same city (Cedar Rapids) now for 30 years. I am always amused when I go for a walk in a different neighborhood and three or four squad cars show-up. The police never say anything to me, just some staring, even gawking. Hasn't happened in awhile, in part because I have been walking more.

You aren't exactly in the land of the open-minded.  My brother, the retired corrections officer, lived there many years and is as MAGA as they come.  He is busy expanding his McMansion on Lake Delhi.  Being a corrections officer made him even more close-minded.  How he got to be so superior is a mystery to me seeing as he is a big dork and always has been.

Not sure if you’re being sarcastic or not but, in case not, there are probably thousands of threads on here from atheists that believe in all sorts of silly stuff.
Ok then what's the point of being an atheist if you believe in all sorts of silly stuff? Wouldn't believing in gods just be one more silly thing? Why make an exception for that one thing?

Probably has to do with the fact that the word "atheism" refers specifically to the idea of gods being extant.

As a young atheist, I was someone who did not believe in gods but believed in stuff like psychic powers etc. That's because being atheist is no guarantee of being rational.

The unspoken premise of your point here is that all atheism arises from the application of rationality by the atheist to all aspects of his or her life. It's not correct.

That's how most atheists see themselves, as paragons of rational thinking and intellectual excellence. It's not correct.

I looked in the mirror. I never had any desires or thoughts about questioning my gender. By the way, I used a stereotypical image of a typical male earlier in the thread. I never watch football or any other sports on TV. I'm also prone to feel bittersweet about past events.
