Religion is a mental illness.
Preach! But you know, not really.
What a wild comparison. One is based off scientific facts and one is purely based on the supernatural. Literal opposites
Are you saying transactivism declares some people evil? How is that activism different from all other queer activism and does that also declare people evil? Is the belief in a soul part of any of that? Am I missing your point?
That trans people exist, while god doesn't.
Well you piqued my interest, where can i find these trans liturgy you speak of ? In a trans church? Or should i go to a woke cathedral? But seriously, what a pityfull comment you made. You could at least try to explain what you mean by false dichotomie before screaming about whatever strawman your comment is about. When did "trans activism" declared somebody irredeemably evil? (And did they deserved it?) And why are you talking about souls? Is this your way of understanding gender dysphoria?
Jk rowling is really not a good example of "unfair" accusations she literally denied that trans people where targeted by nazi
I think JK Rowling is an example of a person who should've stayed the fuck out of Twitter. There might be some debate on what kind of a person she was before starting to engage people in Twitter, but I don't think there's any doubt that it made her worse in every possible way.
That she has been unable to let it go is the same kind of tragedy as when somebody succumbs to a narcotic and thus becomes a destructive asshole. Was the drug the reason for that individual to become an asshole or was he an asshole in soul and the drug just brought it to the surface?
Sure ? i dont see the link with what you were saying before..
People deem JK evil because she's a generally terrible, hateful person. On the other hand, religion deems an entire group of people as evil regardless of what they've done in their life. A woman likes a woman? Straight to hell according to them. They could cure cancer and still straight to hell (which is where JK stands with trans people)
And don’t forget before gay marriage was legalized, they stated that anyone who married outside their race was going straight to hell.
The religious “right” makes up a new enemy every 30-40 years when the group they were targeting gets legally recognized civil rights.
Trans people will get full rights as well. It’s just gonna take a couple decades and us fighting like hell. JK rowling is on the wrong side of history and will be viewed as such in a few decades. Shame she wasted her legacy
