Exactly! You're 100% right! Now do you understand where I am coming from?
No, frankly, I don't.
Who's asking it to?Biology doesn't ask or care what you identify as
So act that way.Because I still have a responsibility on how I act in this life.
For many, it is. But for others, it isn't.Identity and biology are completely related
As I've pointed out, there may not be a jail, but you could lose your career and livelihood over it. Your family would suffer over it. Your daughter could be harmed by it psychologically and even professionally.
The same might be said if you got fired for any other reason, really. Say, being chronically late or missing shifts, or sleeping on the job, or something else that violates company policy.
So force involves other people voicing their opinions and disagreeing with you? Are you forcing me right now?
Which may happen anyway if you don't do the job you're being paid to do.
This is red herring. The trans activists are telling companies or government organizations if they don't acquiesce to their demands then they will come after the company. We've seen it where I live. Articles in the paper, marches, protests etc accusations of transphobia etc. Many places don't want to deal With it that so they cave to the demands.
Is that what I said? I think I was pretty clear and it was nothing like that. Let's see...
True. If you are doing the job you are paid to do and then transactivists come along and demand that you agree with them and tell your bosses if they don't bend to their will then there will be matches, letters and protests out side their doors accusing them of transphobia and bigotry then thats forcing people to agree with them. And then your boss says you have to agree with them or your fired then that's force upon you to agree with an ideology.
In other words, they are using their freedom of speech. I've seen lots of people do that, for any number of different reasons.
You've offered no examples other than people exercising their freedom of speech.
Then what else are these people doing?
So, you believe there are roaming bands of trans activists that do this to people who are just quietly minding their own business? Gee....
I know it for what it is: the exercise of free speech.
You can disagree with me all you like. All I'll do is post my responses here. I won't say a word to your employer...even if I knew who that was.
I don't recall anyone ever saying it did.
I wonder how many milliseconds it would take for the cries of persecution to start if non-believers stopped "lying" about their opinions of the religious or conservative political beliefs of coworkers rather than just being polite.
Not being able to openly attack anyone who is different than what one's belief system says one should be is basically religious oppression, I guess.
You'd be evaluated for eligibility based on the exact same criteria as everyone else. I'm sure ssa.gov has all the information you need to answer this question. Get back to us when you've figured it out.
Can you use biology to prove your identity as a Christian? If not, would others be justified in applying your previous post talking about "fear for the ones who groomed them and supported this nonsense"? You know, because doing otherwise would be, as another post mentioned, "harming and lying to them. Not being helpful at all."Identity and biology are completely related
Christianity is a religion, not a biological reality like gender is.
It's almost as if the previous attempt to conflate self-identity with biology doesn't have any basis in reality.
