We need more theistic activity

There are general differences between the brains of men and women with respect to the structure, operation, and behavioral dispositions. These scientific observations are based on statistical averages; there is no objective measure by which to determine if any individual brain belongs to a man or a woman. Moreover, it is generally acknowledged that sex is a biological fact; whereas, gender is a social construction, i.e. a set of normative beliefs about sexuality. Beliefs are not hard-wired into the brain. And your beliefs are not supported by, and are actually contrary, to science.

I am more than willing to afford someone the courtesy of using their preferred pronoun or title in daily civil interactions. I will not do so when it ceases to be a request and takes the form of a demand. And I will most certainly not be compelled to do so by force of law to promote political agendas. No one has the right to tell me what I can and cannot say.

Hammy reintroduced the Tiffany thread into the conversation, not me. He considers it hateful to call a man a man. As I mentioned earlier, Tiffany is a man, cosmetically altered to look like a woman, unfairly competing against women.

There was a time when people thought allowing blacks and other minorities into the military would weaken…out military. Same for women. Same for gays and lesbians.

There is no comparison. You are making false equivalencies. Race and sex are not medical conditions; gender dysphoria is. And many of the treatments for gender dysphoria must be sustained over time. Maintaining supply lines for food and ammunition are difficult enough without worrying about individual medical supplies to maintain personal health conditions. The military is not an employment agency or means for social engineering. Its job is to break things and kill people. Physically fit and uniformly healthy troops are essential to that mission.

You’re going to spew talking points about how I’m virtue-signaling, or that I’m playing at being a SJW, or something else similarly asinine. And we both know it’s because you have absolutely zero logic for your position on this. But, here’s the thing: I’m not writing this to show how cool I am. I’m not writing this for kudos. I truly believe that you are wrong. That you are a bigot. And if you’re offended by that, well, toughen the fuck up, snowflake.

The opinions I have expressed on this topic are supported by science, whereas and as I have shown above, your stance flies in the face of reality and you have resorted to name-calling.

Now that IS virtue-signaling. There is no right or wrong side of history. History is constantly changing, alternating between periods of enlightenment and liberty to periods of ignorance and tyranny. And exactly what do you mean by “people like me?”
