You are all OK citing religious texts when it suits your beliefs. |
She was responding to the claim that transgender is a recent thing. It's been around as long as written history. |
The context you seem to be missing is people were discussing trans people in historical texts. The Talmud predates those other records. |
I understand the context. I just find it humorous that the same people screaming about religious bigotry are citing religious texts to support their arguments against what they perceive as religious bigotry. |
I find it funny for the opposite reason. Their religions have nothing to say on trans people and some of the oldest writings are fine with them. Yet they claim that it's wrong morally because of religion. But then again, I think I got the version of the bible where they removed that famous saying from jesus christ where he said "though shalt not allow a transgender person to live". |
It doesn't have anything to do with the former guy? YES IT DOES. Conservative politics is still very much entangled with TFG and MAGA. Hell you could barely even disentangle for McCarthy's speakership bid. You're a COMPLETE JOKE for wanting to push this off. An unserious person not willing to acknowledge your own deep liabilities on all of this. |
It's still amazing to me that even the uptight Germans and other Europeans are considerably less prudish about this than conservative Americans are. I agree that there is an inherent difference between mere anatomy versus what is actually sexual. |
Citing religious texts as if they are history books (and even those are fraught with lies and inaccuracies) does not make your argument any more valid. |
Oh they're definitely full of lies. Religious texts are propaganda with made of nonsense. There is no god. That doesn't mean that the idea behind transgender individuals hasn't existed for a very long time. It's not a new thing. |
I agree with you that trans gender individuals are not new -- anyone disputing this is an idiot. |
Whether you believe in god or not, the Talmud exists, and it wasn’t written last week. |
PP here again. I believe humans use religion as an excuse for their bigotry, even when it clearly isn’t even in the religious texts. |
The same can be said about the Bible. |
Obviously, since the Old Testament came from the Talmud. |
