Why would it be respectful to start treating someone like the opposite gender? Think on that one.
He/him is a reference to male.
I could be wrong in thinking male and female is biological term, forgive me, I don't really know. I was not suggesting that if a male lost his penis in an accident then he would cease to be male. There is a lot to biology. If I have lost my penis in an accident, I would still have the anatomy of a male. My bone structure is different from a female. I wouldn't be able to deliver, have a newborn child pass between my legs if I wanted, could I? It doesn't make sense to think that if I lost my penis in an accident I would cease to be male. What would I be then? You only have two options. Would it make me become a female I ceased to have a penis? Of course not!
Why would it be respectful to start treating someone like the opposite gender? Think on that one. All you have to do is put your foot in the door. So it's a step in the right direction? What if I think gender is binary? Is that fair to me that I have to concede on my beliefs just a teensy-weensy bit?
No, it's not fair. If I'm not in any realm of authority to do so, I can't expect people to do what I say. I'm just telling you what I believe, namely there are only two genders. That's what it means that gender is binary. Why is it that when people study the skeleton of some deceased body, they can figure out whether it was a male or female?Is it fair to expect others to live their lives the way you think they should be lived?
When you defend slaveholders, not sure you get to act like you have any moral fiber whatsoever, since that entails you think it's morally permissible to EVER treat another person as property, as a mere means and not an end in themselves.For your sake I hope so, because that's exactly how you treat slaveholders (link).

Maybe with my original post, I should have articulated a little better what my particular question is.
Regardless of what trans identifying people think about this (although that would be an interesting question in of itself) what do progressive minded people think about it, who are not trans. So the question in question is, if they’re rational enough to know a man cannot become a woman in the natural sense, why would they encourage, assist, enable them to go through surgeries and hormone treatment?
Now I think your soul thinks, and so I think it makes sense that you think once you pass on. And you’ll still know that your soul is linked to your gender/sex.
I'm saying that your soul is partner with your body.Hang on: You've been saying that maleness/femaleness is only a characteristic of bodies, that one's inner self is irrelevant to maleness/femaleness. What do you mean when you say that a soul can have gender?
I'm saying that your soul is partner with your body.
Pretty sure you've misunderstood that group, because it's not necessarily done in the broader sense, but within a specific context. They are not demanding they be treated as children anymore than a crossdresser is demanding they be treated as the opposite gender they're presenting as in the context of what can be enjoyable and not reflection of trans identity
Slippery slope fallacy is just dripping from this attempt at an argument, to say nothing of appealing to petty fears and using children as a political pawn to generalize a group and demonize anyone you can associate with them as "irrational" or "insane"
No, Littles as a kink community, afaik, is not remotely where transgender in any implication, let alone the original idea that likely goes back to the 60s or so, came from
My point is, that's how trans gender started out and now look where society is. Once trans becomes normalized and accepted, the next group of strange people will step up to have their denial of reality validated by people. And if you acknowledge reality, you will be again labeled intolerant and or a bigot. Each generation gets more and more confused and farther and farther away from God's plan.

If all we need to do is have each others backs and not step on anyones toes and just accept the spectrum, then sure, I’m just skippy! But if things point in another direction, maybe it’s really that a Creator God makes us a little uncomfortable to deal with. After all, the natural follow up to that is: are we held accountable to God? Are we held to our own subjective standard of morality, or is God Holy?
Yes sir, this is the battle I want fight. First of all, never did I hint at being anti-medicine. Second, where do you think we get the raw material to make medical advancements? It comes from creation. Creation points to a Creator. I don’t know what’s with your diatribe against a Creator considering your agnostic.Well, let's talk about that Creator God...
Let's start with one of His creations: My friend Phil.
Now, Phil is,of course, one of God's creations, but alas, it would seem that on that day, God was a little careless when it came to Phil's pancreas. You see, Phil is a type 1 Diabetic, and if things point to God's standard of morality, Phil would have been dead years ago.
But... with a daily injection of insulin, Phil is just fine.
Now, let's discuss another one of God's creations: Me.
God chose to make me nearsighted, and rather than accept His judgement and spend my entire life squinting at things, I chose to wear glasses. That worked for a while, and then something better came along -- Laser Corrective Surgery. I had my eyes zapped as a gift for myself on my 30th birthday, and I haven't needed glasses since. Just another example of science fixing God's oversight.
So, accepting God's morality, I'd be half-blind and Phil would be all-dead. Improving on it has improved both our lives dramatically, I dare say...
...and if you need more proof that sometimes God's handiwork needs a little tweaking, I've got two words for you: pediatric cancer.
Is this the battle you want to fight?
