Well this book from the Bronze Age which has consistently been wrong about everything has some sentence that may or may not indicate that this thing is bad.

Don't even get me started in biblical abortion.v
Here, I'll do it for you - the Bible contains instructions for a ritual in which if a man believes his pregnant wife was unfaithful and the child is not his the priest can mix a potion from bitter water and dust from the floor of the temple and administer it. If she was unfaithful then by the power of God her pregnancy will terminate. If it doesn't, this is unquestionable proof of paternity from God himself. This is often described as proof the Bible contains directions for abortion, despite the method of action being divine intervention and it only working in cases of infidelity.
In any context other than trying to argue for abortion against members of Abrahamic faiths, the same passages would be used as an example of Biblical misogyny and punishing women for having sex.
That misspelling changes your comment drastically. You're somehow inside a biblical abortion and also turned off, and don't want to be turned on until it's done.
Its so tiresome to see people wave around the Gospels while screaming "Transgenderism is Against God!" right before the hit the BUY button on another stack of themed Funkopops to add to their ~~pagan altar~~ curio cabinet.
It hurt itself in its confusion!
"This doesn't affect me at all? I will be obsessed over it every day and BURN IT TO THE GROUND"
"I never gave a shit about high school girls sports in my life, and made fun of the WNBA since its inception, but I'll be damned if a trans person competing in any way or any thing isn't my hill to die on!"
Correct response: i dont care, fuck you, im gonna protect my trans homies and theyre gonna protext themselves.
That doesn’t sound very free as in freedom.
We using transsexual? I mean its more technically appropriate but I thought that wasnt the preferred term.
Older trans people often preferred the term. It’s fallen out of fashion, but some people still use it. I still saw it a lot on forums in the mid-naughts - mostly the ones that had boomer age trans women.
Woah, help a friend out.
I think they are saying they prefer transgender?
I haven't heard anything about that word being offensive tho.
It's not offensive, it's just medically inaccurate. We're not changing our sex, we're changing our gender.
I suppose it could be offensive in that it misrepresents trans people's understanding of what hormones do, but it's really not a huge deal if I'm being honest. It does also have an air of old-timey gender politics, though, which does always come with a foul taste...
This also may not be a native English speaker.
Depends on the person but a lot of trans people consider it offensive. Transgender is more of a blanket term and transsexual usually relates to surgical changes. For instance I'm transgender because of my internal feelings and desire for specific social interactions but I also consider myself transsexual because of the surgeries I've had (but 99% of the time will just say I'm transgender because it's a lot easier than going into all this). Transsexual was used as a blanket term in a way that doesn't vibe with a lot of trans people and was/is used as a slur, and more recently it has found a place with truscum/transmedicalist types furthering it's problematic nature
Ohh ok. I mean, I was looking at the root word as gender the social construct and sex (typically XX, XY). I thought the idea is if a trans person could choose to change sexes, they would (science, magic wand, whatever to go XX to XY or XY to XX).
My bad. I was tired and forgot that was a word!
