Something that i find prettyd disgusting these days is how certain people put their political ideologies / viewpoints over human lives, for example, celebrating the russian invasion of ukraine because it is “a blow against US / NATO imperialism” completely ignoring all the warcrimes, the deaths, and the suffering generated by that war, the same happening with the palestinian genocide because “Israel is the only working democracy on the middle east”, acting like their ideoligies are going to bring back to life all the dead people somehow

    You should ask your fellow Christians, trans folks are not so popular with the church if you haven’t noticed.

      Every Christian I have talked to about this subject is vehemently against killing transgender people. What does my belief in God have to do with my opinion on not killing trans people?

        You don’t have to strictly be for killing them, you can just be against their existence, and someone else will take that to its logical conclusion.

          I think it is true that Christians who are against violence against trans people should be far more vocal over it. But the general thing I hear isn’t really wanting to get rid of trans people, more of if they should be validated as their desired gender or not, or how children should be approached about the topic.

            the existence of trans people is quite literally conditional on them being validated as their desired gender.

            if you don’t validate them, then when they keep doing trans stuff (like transitioning), you will freak out and attempt to stop them. For example by sending them to conversion therapy. And it should be obvious to any basically humanist person why that’s a bad idea.

              No, because there are no effective conversion therapies that work, and it can make the situation worse. It’s not a binary. You don’t have to choose between “oh yeah sure let’s change the signs on bathrooms! You can compete in women’s sports and be in women spaces, too! Oh and please go and tell these children all about your sex change!” and “send them all to conversion therapy at gunpoint”. I don’t know why you keep jumping to conclusions so quickly and freak out at me stating the fact that killing people is abhorrent. Because apparently I am not allowed to condemn the murder of a young girl because I, like 2.38 billion other people, think that Jesus of Nazareth from 2024 years ago made a convincing case for actually being God.

                and also what is the alternative you propose that’s neither acceptance or forced conversion?

                “separate but equal”? “keep that stuff at home”? no thank you, i’d rather be part of society. separate but equal is never actually equal.

                    I assume have something to say about it, or you wouldn’t be posting trying to defend your opinion.

                    So far I’ve seen that you don’t want to kill us and you don’t want to try to force us to stop existing, but you don’t seem to want to accept us either. so what else is there?
