Well, for the most part, no. I think there should be much fewer trans people. Social media has heavily influenced many people to claim “trans” or any other title. So by my logic, not all of them are perfect because that is not their true self. There’s a larger number of gay people, but the same principle applies to a lesser extent.
You probably think child mutilation is ok. You’re totally fine with people assassinating each other over politics (which is the text book definition of a facist. Yes you are more facist than me) and you just calling people bigots instead of taking the joke because you think you sit on a moral high horse because you virtue signal for a group of people. So respectfully sybau
Hate the sin, love the sinner is flawed logic, too. The Bible says to let only God be the judge of sin. “Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.” Judging others is a sin in and of itself. Because you are essentially deeming yourself equal to or higher than God.
We’re supposed to help people turn from their sins, to hate what God hates while also loving the way He loves. Were called to speak the truth in love, meaning calling out and condemning the sin in a way that is loving and accepting of the individual. My statement is biblically sound. A great example is how Nicholas Bowling does his street preaching.
Every one I have met both in real life and online have acted like the “Terminally online” stereotype. They’re usually quite rude, thinking they should get special attention. Along with having intense social unawareness and acting how most people would describe a “Loser”. Just my experience, I have talked to probably ~100 in my time, only a handful do not fit into this.
Let me ask, did you act this presumptuous and judgmental towards them? Did you give them respect within their gender identity? Is it possible - at all - that this could be why they were “rude” to you? You did not speak to 100 trans people in real life. Reddit/anon platforms do NOT count towards this - you can’t actually smell them from there, like you claim. You’re kinda acting like a loser, low key. Very judgemental of people you don’t know, judging a whole group by one or two IRL people.
I met around 15 in my life in reality, and they did mostly follow that criteria. For the record what they interpreted was most rude about me was the fact that I did not agree with their other political views that I silently disagreed with. And yes for sure they were rude because I had hardly talked to them and I watched them be complete assholes to people around me. Also for the record it’s true that 2 people is not enough, and maybe even 15 isn’t enough. But I was sharing my experience.
Hi I’m trans. I shower every morning and use deodorant at least twice a day, define look weird, I guess my pink hair might be weird but idc, I can definitely talk and have intelligent conversations often (small school, lots of discussion based classes), define annoying but I’m definitely friendly and I love people! Point being trans people are also people and we have favorite ice cream flavors and hobbies and interests just like everyone else.
my girlfriend is trans. She really loves mtg and English soccer. She’s a Liverpool fan. She also showers daily and uses deodorant. She has shoulder length brown hair and wears high school track t shirts which is like the least weird way to dress I can think of. She can definitely talk, a LOT, and it’s always interesting. She’s not annoying. She’s a person. She likes cookies and cream ice cream. We’re all just people. All of us.
Valid argument, anyone can be annoying. I had 5 friends be trans. 3 in real life, 2 online. They are who shaped my view on them. My experience were that they could be rather pleasant but were very akward and struggled in social situations. I call them terminally online because I was able to see just how much time they spent on their computers watching slop. But what was really annoying is that they wanted to be affirmed constantly, and most people do not get that, and it’s rude of them.
So this is transphobia… Saying you hate trans people because of a small number of people (in perspective of their huge community) is like saying all black people are criminals because of a small number of them (in perspective of their huge community) who have committed crimes. Saying you hate trans people is transphobia and super closed minded, just like saying black people are criminals is racist. There are also many people that I’ve met that I didn’t even know were trans until later on.
So statistically that is not true. Which can only lead me to believe that you’re talking about what you’ve personally experienced. Maybe in your experience you see those communities as “bad” but again… that’s your experience. Your singular experience does not define or dictate how communities are as a whole.
Ok you can have your opinion. That doesn’t change the fact that you’re being transphobic. If every interaction you’ve had with certain communities is negative while many other people are saying that experience isn’t the norm then maybe you’re the problem. You seem super negative so I wouldn’t be surprised if the trans people that have come into contact with you gave you that same negative energy back.
I mean given that they were my friends I would disagree. It was also my choice to cut them off from me rather than the other way. And frankly, the only people I see saying that trans people are different from my experience, are trans people themselves. I just believe that they think they are kinder and less obnoxious than they really are.
I’m guessing you were in social environments that had a lot of socially awkward chronically online people in them. Were any cis mutual friends you guys had also like that? Also I can definitely confirm that not all trans people are chronically online, or awkward. I’m definitely not. And can you define “wanting to be affirmed constantly”? Do you just mean like calling them by the right pronouns or smth else?
I was associated with anyone. I hung around them because I just enjoy Being very social. I also had some cis people who were like that, except I also knew plenty more who didn’t. They wanted constant positive attention, if I am being honest it’s mostly because they were incredibly insecure, which is why I suspect they were trans to begin with.
What other perspective do I need to see but my own to call people annoying? Just because other people take cold showers does not mean I have to suddenly say they’re nice. I had bad experiences with more trans people than you, I probably knew them better than you do as I knew them for years. They had redeaming traits but I still chose to just not hang out with them.
If you wanna be transphobic then that’s your choice. Also you probably don’t know the whole community better than me considering this is your take. Also you rly said you hate trans people, and that they’re weird, smelly, annoying, and attention seeking but then followed it up with “they had redeeming traits”… that’s crazy
You’re all over the place. You literally stated that you hate trans people and gave those reasons I just listed as to why. I’m saying it’s crazy that you’re being so wishywashy with what you’re saying. You also just said they can be smart, sincere, and kind… so why are YOU hating the whole community. And now you’re saying that all the reasons you listed before were actually not factors in why you hate the trans community but because of other reasons.
I didn’t cut them off because they were trans, I cut them off for every other reason I listed here. I hate the whole community because I have seen the whole community, and while it’s a nice exterior, once you go inside it’s full of filth. I reccomend you stay away from trans people deeper inside the community. I would compare them to the inverse of Nazis
Christians can (and should) call sin a sin when they see it. Thats part of evangelism. Turning a blind eye to sin is not an act of love. Its ur choice to accept it or not tho. While only God will judge u, u shouldnt ignore sin. And no, the Bible says “If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination” in Leviticus 20:13
There’s a reason why it’s called leading souls to Christ, rather than us saving the souls. We are only instruments to help lead people to God, He does all the work in saving them. We are mouthpieces for the Holy Spirit to move in their lives. The same reason why you have to pursue God’s word for yourself rather than only listening to a pastor.
If you think these were meant literally, you must also know wearing polyester and cotton should be something you get stoned over, yes? This book did NOT have a direct to English translation. You realize that right? You know Ancient Greek was a very simple language you have to put real thought into to translate?
this is the problem with casual transphobia. y’all can’t accept that YOU are most often the source of trans people’s discomfort and incompatibility in social situations, just like they are sources of your discomfort. so how about instead of generalizing and being an unlikeable douche, you double down on being nice and bringing the best out of the people you want to be around? if you don’t wanna be around trans people, don’t! i promise you they will appreciate it too. kindness is so so easy man.
“the kids” and it’s like 0.0007% of children over the age of 16. you’re mad over something that the massive majority trans people, including teens, DON’T DO!!! only incredibly unstable and problematic cases of gender dysphoria result in a sex change and it is literally recommended by doctors for these people to wait until they’re 18. you are intentionally spreading malinformation that harms teens with the very real, very treatable condition of gender dysphoria.
The Bible also says it is a sin to eat shellfish, work on a Sunday, masturbate, wear mixed fabrics, be any religion other than Christian, etc. I have to ask if you’re this concerned about people who eat shellfish as you are about LGBTQ+ people. Because I can almost guarantee that you’re wearing mixed fabrics every single day, and if God is real, then I’m seeing you in hell. My question is why do you condemn only certain sins?
Context. Masturbation is sexual immorality and is a sin. Mixed fabrics was a religious tradition at the time for the Canaanites and thus in order to prevent the Israelites of the time from partaking in their rituals. Working on a Sunday was debunked by Jesus Christ himself, so long as there is a day used to rest and worship Christ you have not sinned if you worked on a Sunday. And unclean foods were made clean by Jesus in His death and resurrection on the cross. There is a lot of context.
