Why do Goodreads reviewers flip out when a book has the “audacity” to have a trans character? Not even a main character, either. Like guys I promise a character using they/them isn’t ruining your life 😭

I’ve seen goodreads reviewers hate for so many dumb reasons. One being a slow burn series being “too slow” with the character’s relationship. Another being the MMC being canonically unattractive, also being actually morally grey. I hate it here.

It’s annoying when everything feels the need to include it just to include it

Because they have morals, ethics, and standards.

“Ethics” ok I know that’s a big word for Elmo but you can’t just say shit to make yourself sound valid or smart for being a bigot

Saying something is immoral and unethical is attempting to state it is fundamentally wrong, stating trans people expressing their identity is unethical goes against the same ethics you’re trying to defend. Freedom of expression means EVERYONE is free to express themselves, if anyone is the hypocrite here it’s you.

Saying your idea morals should be followed but others shouldn’t be able to exist as themselves is so brazen and hypocritical that it’s laughable.

Homosexuals can express whatever they like. That doesn’t make it right. It goes against the laws of nature and nature’s God.

God gave humans free will, as a Christian I believe all people may choose to follow god as they wish. I don’t believe people should water themselves or their identity down. You can choke on it if you wish, but saying it goes against nature is foolish. Anyone who spends a great deal of time around animals knows they don’t follow the same principles as humans. I work in research and animals are most definitely subject to homosexual behaviors.

God gave humans free will for a reason, if people couldn’t choose to follow god it wouldn’t be meaningful in any way. People were born with that identity due to biological systems, the sexes are not completely separate, it’s only decided in the womb and we are the same species. It may go against your personal morals but god loves everyone regardless. Maybe you should reflect a bit.

I can’t fathom how Christians like you bastardize the word of God just to pretend you are justified in your unfounded hate.

Hmm. God also said that homosexuals will have their place in the lake of fire. I guess he was just joking, huh?

Do you even know or follow ALL of “God’s” laws? Wait, don’t bother answering because I can see that you don’t just by your comments here.

You claim to be a Christian and don’t even know that Christians are not “under the law?“ Wow! Here’s a novel idea… Read the Bible!

Also, can you please tell me when you decided that you are the gender you claim? Or when you decided you were heterosexual?

I did not “decide.” My genetic make up made me a MAIL. You are either male or female. There is no other gender, despite what you may have been indoctrinated into believing.

Of course you think I’m “indoctrinated” and “inept”. Maybe you should study actual biology. There are way more than two genders.
