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

      Still never seen an Orthodox or a Catholic person advocate for the killing of trans people though.

      They just say you don’t exist, which at least does not help.

          But there is no Atheists dogma or teaching that can be a base for discrimination of trans people. Obviously individual Atheist can be transphobic unrelated to their believe that there is no god. On the other hand christian transphobes will often root their transphophia in their christian believe.

          Killing people and saying someone’s belief in their own gender is or isn’t valid are different things, though.

          Invalidating trans folks existence is often predecessor of violence against trans people.

              Christianity doesn’t have dogma on the trans issue.

              The Bible just says that God created people as man and woman.

              Dude?

              Dawkins would argue that biologival sex is a scientific fact.

              So? He rationalizes his transphobia with his poor understanding of human biology, psychology and sociology, which are all not his fields of expertise by the way, and more importantly unrelated to atheism. If he was Karamazov, than maybe you would have a point.

              What does me being a Christian have to do with Christian transphobes, and why would you bring up my religion when I literally just expressed disgust at the murder of a transgender person?

              At best you participate in a believe system that promotes violence against trans people by invalidating their existence. So your disgust seems rather disingenuous, or you haven’t really reflected on this whole topic at all.

                  You have troubles reading?

                  Christian dogma of two genders invalidated the existence of trans folks, which in turn promotes violence against trans people. Since you haven’t explicitly stated your own believes but you self identify as christian, it’s reasonable to assume that you adhere to basic Christian dogma. This assumption is supported by your stance on abortion, which means you are more of a fundamentalist christian.
