reading origins in a vacuum
Origin is to Addition as Mendel is to Calculus (not sure I agree here, but I'll go with it for the sake of argument).
By the way hodj, regarding He vs Her.
I take the Peterson line here. If a tranny demands that I use a particular pronoun, I will refuse to do so on pure principle.
If a tranny is honest with me about their biology and then asks me to use a particular pronoun, then I am much more likely to respond with Golden Rule style reciprocal kindness.
Vanessa has always been open about his biology, and has never demanded that I use certain pronouns. Therefore, I will use the pronouns that 'she' prefers, out of mutual intellectual respect.
This only works in the context of FoH since you all know that I know that she is Trans. Since Vanessa is open and honest with us on this forum, and since everyone already knows that she is a he.... that makes it all the more easy for me to say 'she'. 'She' is playing by the rules of honest intellectual discourse and I respect those rules.
I used to be the other way, but the recent Tranny Slippery Slope Sled Speed Run has made me reverse this policy. IRL, I now live in Texas so I have not been tested on this front yet, but I think I will stick to neutral shit to passively trigger these snowflakes into a meltdown, like "dude" being a nice generic one.
You re wasting your time with wankery
This is the wrong approach and the way young militant atheists behave. If someone is willing to engage, you should listen to their thoughts even if its only to agree to disagree. Not doing so is how the country got to this fucking point. In other words, you don't have to respect the messenger or belief to find worth in the message sometimes.
"You cannot be a Christian conservative and be a tranny. It's impossible." Allow me to use an emoji to demonstrate what kind of people have pre-programmed narratives that use politics and identity as the sole basis for said narratives:
Said it before about Foler, and you're proving you're exactly the same Hodj... you're a fucking NPC. Congratulations!!!
Also, you're ignored after your next reply (which you will, of course, do because you CANNOT stop Hodjing/Last Wording). I'll at least give you the satisfaction of last-wording me before I do it. Congratulations again!!!
Origin didn't lead to the discovery of genetics. Mendels work was entirely seperated from Darwin's.
It was pure luck Mendels work was rediscovered and seen to illuminate the mechanism of darwins work
I agree in principle, but this noble line of thought does not survive contact with the real world. As a former music student, current nerd, and former college employee, I have known many trannies over the years, far more than I am comfortable admitting. I gave up when even the most rational ones (and I include Van in this group, sadly enough) got on board with this fucking with prepubescent kid shit. That is my personal red line and Lithose comparing it to Lobotomies is very very apt. They jump on that shit like its some miracle silver bullet despite even the friendliest studies to their cause stating flat out that they have no clue what the long term effects will be on even actual gender dysphoria (that tiny miniscule mutation of the population) people. They are willing to treat other people's kids like lab rats for god knows what fucking reason. I cannot abide that. A group with a coinflip suicide rate should NOT be pushing ANYTHING on children, period end of sentence. And of the remaining half that do not off themselves, the vast majority are lonely and depressed ESPECIALLY the FtM ones, who are the smallest minority of the chopper demographic. And every time Van gets confronted with this, he hand waves it away with an ad hominem attack and regurgitates the same shit.The way out is through.
I do not think a trans person, who admits openly to their biology is such a 'slippery slope' type of threat as you allude to.
It's the ones who demand that X+X= Male, and that 2+2=5, that represent the true threat to society.
The Vanessa's of the world might challenge our intellect, but I do not detect that they pose any sort of real challenge to our morality.
This.
Hodge, I mean no offense by this as you are literally one of my favorite posters here, but I have to say that I think that Phaz is right. You sound like my 24 year old angrier-self.
And theres more strawmanning. Sad. Just Sad.
Weak. The sauce is weak. I expect more from a Confederate in the realm of sauce.
