I made a thread which was deleted on the grounds that transsexualism cannot be discussed on the Christian forums. So I remade the thread and edited that topic out while supplementing my position with further evidence. It was deleted again. So I think I've found their best trigger since the time I was in the habit of reminding them that the Bible was written by racist, sexist, genocidal, slave-driving rapists. Here's the thread I posted:
-------------------------
As an American I have to keep answering whether I'm a liberal or conservative. I'm neither. I think both parties have unforgivably stupid ideas. Here, I want to point out that right-wing Christians are hypocritical in the attacks they make on transsexuals.
Firstly, let's establish that every Christian believes they have a soul. The soul, in fact, is their actual being. A Christian's body is just a vehicle and the soul is the driver.
But what is a soul?
A soul is a transdimensional, immortal, non-physical entity which will be placed into a new body on a "new earth."
So to summarize, conservative Christians laugh at transsexuals, saying, "A man who self-identifies as a woman? Absurd! But let's not mention the fact that I self-identify as a transdimensional, immortal abstraction which will one day be reincarnated on another planet. BTW, those Mormons sure do believe in some wacky stuff!"
I always try to be respectful to transsexuals, not just to their face but also when their back is turned. But I do think that the way Christians self-identify takes this whole fad a little too far. Please, someone give a reason as to why I might be any of these things:
Transdimensional
Immaterial
Immortal
Anything at all, really, would go a long way in establishing Christianity as true.
-------------------------
Transdimensionality:
Space and time define height, width, and length. Due to inevitable heat death, one must exit the universe to live forever. To exit space is to be transdimensional.
Immortality:
John 3:16
Immaterial:
Matter and energy comprise physical material. To exit the universe is to become non-physical.
Reincarnation:
1 Corinthians 15:35-38
Exoplanet:
Revelation 21:1
Bonus trigger:
Tell Christians that their religion is sorcery. Sorcery being, among other things, the invocation of a deity or powerful spirit so that it can possess you or guide you.

Jesus is like Pinocchio. He's the bastard son of a carpenter. And a liar. And he wishes he was real.
