Of course you know about the religious right...

[BCP1928]

Work is work. Whether you are employed by someone else or self employed or a self sustaining farmer. The Bible doesn't differentiate between being employed by someone else or self employed. It just says we need to work. Don't try to make it say something it doesn't.

I'm not the one doing that. I'm not the one whose religious leaders want to make me a shill for big capitalism as opposed to free enterprise.

 

[BCP1928]

Oh? What schools?

Oh right. There have been no school dress code controversies in the media lately, so there's nothing on the internet about it. Besides, it would spoil your narrative, so forget I said anything.

That's not an answer to the question.

Either you really don't know (part of what the libbers call "toxic masculinity" ) or you're pretending not to know; I favor the latter.

What exactly is masculine enough it feminine enough?

I don't know, they're your standards.

Of course it does. That's what a trans person wants to become. The opposite sex.

Sure, how could it be otherwise.

Or did you think that that girl's who wanted to wear trousers were automatically trans?

I think they might be trans. But in terms of overt behavior, there's no reason to indoctrinate little kids with the idea of gendered clothing whether they are trans or not.

I had no idea you were a scientist.

Apparently we're everywhere, hiding in plain sight or something. A silent majority, even? Next thing you know we won't even be able to force children to be right handed.

No one is doing that. I think you have a big imagination. I don't believe anyone has told you you have to work for someone else in order to qualify as working.

A fellow Christian of yours in this thread did. Specifically, that working was a requirement for eating, according to Paul, but that being willing to work even though no jobs were available didn't count.

I was blessed with a family of left and right handers.
One parent left, one parent right
The left handed children were taught left hand and right hand
The right handed children were taught right hand and left hand
All of us are ambidextrous although some favor right and some favor left.
No one had to "force" our lefties to be right handed. They could do it both ways.

Well if you don't want to answer, okay.

Either you really don't know (part of what the libbers call "toxic masculinity" ) or you're pretending not to know; I favor the latter.

Still not an answer. Maybe you don't really know the answer.

don't know, they're your standards.

That's what I figured. You don't know. I don't think I ever have a standard. But you seem to be sold on the idea there is one. If you are so sold that there is a standard I'd like to know what it is. But apparently you don't what it is either despite your claims there is one. Maybe you shouldn't make that claim.

Sure, how could it be otherwise.

Correct. That's why gender and sex are the same thing.

I think they might be trans. But in terms of overt behavior, there's no reason to indoctrinate little kids with the idea of gendered clothing whether they are trans or not.

What makes you think they might be trans? Just cause she wants to wear trousers? Who cares if anyone is gendering clothing. There is all kinds of clothing that is used and worn by both sexes. And some that is eoatn and preferred by one sex. It's the way the world operates. It's still based on personality preference and what a person wishes to portray. Why are you so worked up about clothes? A girl prefers t shirts, jeans and sneakers and suddenly you are questioning their sex? How odd.

My dad wrote right handed and ate right handed. But he golfed left handed.

Most seem to fancy themselves as scientists.

It's not a fancy, I am a scientist. Now, I have to go do some sciencing.

My Spanish professor, may he rest in peace, was left handed. When he went to school he was forced to use his right hand. That used to be a thing, you know

That’s something you made up.

The world is designed for right hands. Left handers sometime don't have a left hander to teach them.
When our lefties demonstrated proficiency with either hand, they were judged by the product of their labor, not the method.

I know someone who claimed they got detention over making the Sign of the Cross with their left hand

 

[BCP1928]

Work is available for anyone who wants to work. It may not be what they want to do, it may not pay as much as they would like and they may feel it’s beneath their skill set but work is available for anyone who really wants to work.

Right. You didn't specifically state that, you just answered my post with a falsehood. I stand corrected.

Prove that the statement is false

I'm more left handed. But I write right handed. I play golf left handed. But I play tennis right handed. I bat left handed. But I bowl right handed. I'm left sided at football. But right sided when boxing. I'm just kinda messed up...

Why spoil it for you? The bootstrap myth is foundational to social conservatism.
