Even if transgender people were all just delusional and mentally ill people who refused to accept scientific reality, they'd still deserve to be 100% accepted.
God isn't a scientific reality, but people who believe in God are accepted. They're even allowed to force their beliefs on children. Many even use their God as an excuse to hate. They frequently teach children that anyone who doesn't worship them goes to hell. Religious people are also regularly caught sexually abusing children.
Meanwhile, transgender people just want to exist and not be bullied for it. If you can accept religious people whose beliefs are much more farfetched, then you can easily accept transgender people. You're choosing not to.
I can’t think of nothing more cruel than forcing a woman to gestate the child of a rapist because you believe that your imaginary omnipotent friend will be angry otherwise. It’s barbaric.
i can fix him *traumatizes him*
For me it was moral perfectionism, i would constantly feel like i'm evil and immoral. I would sometimes become a doormat and let others push me around for the sake of that sweet, sweet, moral high ground. And back when i was religious, i would cope with others pushing me around by thinking "they'll be going to hell anyways".
Open discussion: has anyone dealt with perfectionism that most likely came from years of religious trauma?
Someone i know even admitted that the only reason he’s a zionist is out of fear of “God’s Wrath”.
Listen, i dont mean to sound like a reddit atheist, but... You ever think about how evangelical Chriatians very literally believe that there will be a genocide in which billions of humans, mostly just innocent everyday people, are condemned to suffer in hell?
And, like, that's the end. That's the finale. Of everything they believe. That's their solution for the world. A final one, if you will.
And they don't rebel. They don't say "hey, wait, that's a bit much" and appeal to their God to maybe reconsider. They don't even seem to really mind.
Instead, they worship. They conjure up an image of a genocidal maniac, and they worship it. The word "praise" is bandied about a lot. Praise. For a leader whose endgoal, very transparently, is genocide.
Suddenly a lot of history makes a little more sense.
