Because calling your audience names leads to them changing the channel, rather than signing a check?

@vorlon - it occurs to me that nonexistence is a decided disadvantage in the getting-shit-done department. Go figure.

(May 11, 2016 at 4:04 pm)Yeauxleaux Wrote: Transgender includes everyone who identifies with a different gender to the one assigned at birth, so yes it includes people who have not had SRS. "Transsexual" is sometimes used to describe people who have already had SRS, but "transgender" still applies to them.
However, you can't necessarily tell who has had SRS or not just by looking at them. Most of the secondary sex characterstic (breasts and hips in transwomen, facial and body hair in transmen) are brought on by hormone treatments, not SRS. You can have transgender people who look VERY passable (physically look like the gender they identify as perfectly) who still have their birth genitals.
That's why the "birth genitals" argument for bathroom segregation gets fuzzy and doesn't make sense. You can have transgender men who, with clothes on, you'd never guess wasn't born a man, but still has a vagina. Same for transwomen. Laws like this are suggesting those people should still be made to go into the bathroom based on their genitals, you'd literally have a straight-up woman (from outside appearance anyway) going into mens' bathrooms, and vice versa. That was a clear and intelligent explanation. Thanks.
It's all quite disingenuous. If they're really concerned about protecting children. why not keep catholic priests out of the bathroom?
I remember when my uncle was in high school, he didn't want to join the football team because he felt uncomfortable undressing in front of guys. I'm glad science has come a long way in helping us understand this mind/body disconnect. But as long as there are theists there will be idiots.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

It seems to me that the issue is independent of any theism/atheism divide; but rather whether one believes that some words, like "sex" do or do not refer to objective facts and whether or not some human traits are normative. I was always led to understand that sex and gender identity were two separate things, although not always in alignment. Either being in alignment is normative or it isn't.
Many people have arthritis, but having arthritis is not normative in the same sense that variety skin pigmentation is. If it is not normative, then gender dysphoria would seem to fall under the purview of the Americans with Disabilities act under which would require public and some private organizations to make reasonable accommodations. I could buy into that. What I find problematic is that activists are making the assertion that gender dysphoria is just a one place on the spectrum of normative human traits while at the same time discussing health implications and suggested treatments.
