How did the group meddle? Should you be shut down for calling him He?

We should all just keep joining Twitter under fake names and saying things to get us booted off. They can't keep up with it forever.

Yes they can do what they want with their body. That's not the point.

Biologically, at a DNA level their body is male (or female)

I support that they don't identify that way, which is an entirely different issue.

As for just slapping hate speech labels on opinions you disagree with and using that to censor dissent, that's patently fascist. (Just replace "hate speech" with "counter revolutionary" and it jumps off the page at you.)

Now if they're saying we should hurt trans people or deny them employment etc. then you have a case for "hate speech" but explaining the fundamental biological truth is not that.

These religious groups are a throwback to the middle ages. Even in colonial VA they recognized that there were people who were both male and female. Thomas(ine) Hall, was raised as a woman, served in the English army as a man, and then floated between male and female identity when he arrived in Jamestown. The local court could not decide what to do, and hence the case was referred to Jamestown, the capital, in 1629 whereupon Hall was physically examined by the court and permitted to dress both as a man and a woman. That the isolated settlers in Jamestown were more enlightened and knew more about human sexuality than these religious groups says a lot of their ignorance.

If it you hide behind it to be bigoted, you're a trash human being.
There is nothing bigoted about calling out a man who wants to dress up like a woman.

You're assigning motive. Unless you know their inner most thoughts that's above your pay grade.


HATE is the motivating factor behind your statement as well.

Bada Bing, Bada Boom... See how easy that is?

Hall was intersex person who was forced by the court to submit to a physical examination to determine sex, as they felt they couldn't just rely on his/her testimony alone. So do you stand by that standard as "enlightened"?

Levine is a Man. But lets go with you approved standard of enlightenment. We can't simply rely on his say so, so it shall be determined by his genitals.

It has precisely zero to do with religion.
