Does Thibaud ever join in productive discussions, or just gently tap the occasional hornet’s nest?

Gender alteration (bottom) is only done after extensive counseling as it should be. That is irreversible.

Top surgery is extreme but at least cosmetically reversible to a certain extent.

But we already allow people to engage in extensive and repeated plastic surgery even to them trying to look alien and add horns or split their tongues or other things and there is no moral outcry about it.

Do you believe that there are just complete male and complete female human beings born? It is far more complex than everyone being an XX or XY. Genitals can be ambiguous more often than most people realize.
Of course, at this point in medical science, a human baby can only fully develop in a human uterus. But that person with a uterus may have brain chemistry and personality and urges of a male.
During a pregnancy, I would imagine any hormone therapy for facial hair and the like would be temporarily ceased.

One thing religious folks say when confronted about lack of evidence for an existence of any so called ‘god’ is that’s what ‘faith’ is all about.

Thibaud70 has gone and jumped the shark again.

The absurdity with the Xian religion for me begins with having to accept as fact that there's an invisible magical superbeing who lives in the sky. It just gets more ridiculous from there.

How does anyone believe shit like that??

You're creating another "false equivalence." There is none between a belief in Christian myths and a redefinition of "god" as an "unknowable something," on one hand, and a true transsexual and the current misuse of that term.by some people.
So, a fundamentalist Christian criticizes transsexualism entirely, and an ideologically-driven progressive extremist might insist every young person who wants to change his or her gender can do so simply by stating it is so.
In both cases, there is a plausible, legitimate viewpoint, and a distorted, extreme position. In both cases, the difference is between rationality and an irrational twisting of facts to adhere to a predetermined belief system.

You feel there is a quasi-religion called the "Social Justice movement." I'm a Progressive Liberal and have never thought of any such thing. I also know that men do not get pregnant nor menstruate and women do not have a penis. Many today are pushing hard for us to believe a 6 year old who says he is a girl and immediately cut off his penis and give him hormones. This would be the absurdity both in the doing and believing. Someone this young cannot know what they want. I'm at a loss as to seeing what religion has to do with all this. Is there a new "inqueersition" that is destroying lives or is this too just all political? It sounds like something out of American politics to me.

I mean, I call myself a progressive liberal and I wouldn't say those things. I agree that this is a stupid hill to die on. We can offer them the protections they deserve to live free without alienating people and losing votes. Like the trans athletes thing. It seems simple to me. If there is no advantage to growing up one sex and then switching, then why are the sexes divided up for any particular sport? If a trans athlete can join the team because there's no advantage, then the sport should be co-ed. How does that not make sense?

Christians don't "confess" they repeat what they are told to repeat.
