For example, I can just walk into the ladies' room, and if challenged, I'll say I'm actually "a woman". I have a vagina. I'm just also on male hormones and such. I've had lots of operations, making me look extremely like a man, I just haven't had sexual reassignment.
What are they going to do, insist I show them my vagina?
And this fucking garbage: "They will attack people!" But they don't. It's like, "Atheists would murder everyone! They have no morals!" But they don't.
As a side not, I'm fascinated by this idea that religion may be being classed as a mental illness. Is this for real? It's about time something was done to stop people getting away with negligence on religious grounds.
It's not for real, and it would be a bad thing if it happened. Getting away with negligence in religious grounds is an entirely separate issue from religion being classified as a mental illness, and should be dealt with on its own terms.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
