I've never understood group hate. I don't feel it. I can dislike someone because they did something to me personally but not because they simply belong to a group. I don't smoke or drink but I know many people do and I know it's bad for you and can kill you. If I know them personally I might tell them but I'm not going to hate them for it or try and deny them the right to live or exist or hate t

Sorry Mormons...there was no one to remember Zarahemla because Zarahelma never was. Your "Prophet" was a just a grifter who made it all up.

Although France and America share the same revolutionary ideals, the French have a different religous history. The English colonists in America wanted the freedom to worship. The French revolutionaries wanted to free the nation from religious oppression. The Catholic Church was a de facto arm of the state under the Ancien Regime. During the Revolution, the church lost all privileges and the go

There is direct experimental evidence showing that the brains of transexual individuals are similar to those of cisgendered people of the opposite biological sex. Trans lab rats have been created by a forced hormomal inbalance in the mother rat prior to birth. By your reckoning you would have XX females with AIS classified as male because they have a vaginal opening but dont have a uterus and

There's much more to it than than that. The main problem is that people still don't beileve that the brain and not genitalia contains the essence of who and what you are sexually. The brain controls what you do and basically makes you you. They can't believe that some individuals who have a female brain but a body with male parts don't want them and want nothing to do with them and don't want

Suppose you have a baby. The doctor does a visual inspection after the baby is born and decides it's a boy. As the infant matures into a toddler the "boy" starts acting like a girl, wants girl things, and wants to know when the "bad part" is going away. You take the child to doctors for further examination. They tell you your child has a female brain despite having a body w

What I don't understand is the morality component. The view of some that gay and trans people are immoral and then religious taboos are concocted to support that view. Here's an example. Interracial relations, marriage, and families with mixed-race children were once (and sadly in some parts of America still are) regarded as immoral. There was even a special word for it -- miscegenation.
