You should really try to use better examples because immediately you go to two examples of sexual inappropriateness. Being trans is not about being sexually inappropriate. Wearing a face covering would have been considered socially inappropriate or suspicious before and now it's not. Gauges and one's ear lobes still kind of peeks people's irritation because they view those people in a certain manner same with tattoos. While both of those are becoming more socially acceptable they're certainly was a point in time when they weren't so why not use examples like that where we're talking about physical appearance instead of going to the pervy sex stuff.

As this is going around in circles, would you like to have a debate on this topic? I propose "THBT: We ought to define "women" in terms of sex, as opposed to gender". 
I'm sorry why do you need to find women at all, swinging dick?

Since we're talking about sports what about pay. Women on average are paid less than and some jobs that less pay are contributed to them being physically less capable as the opposite sex. So how does pay work for someone who says they're female but has a make body that might be capable of more physically than a female counterpart. Like say fireman.

Sometimes it's a benefit. For instance in Heathenism there are racists and neo-nazi groups so it's good that they are separate.

Just like it would be good to know what churches would be anti-LGBT if you happen to be one of those people.

Schizophrenia is only one type of mental illness. If being honest you really should include all mental illness which is a very large number. And there are special laws to protect them.

Researchers looking at mediumship as a way of addressing schizophrenia

The Spiritualist experiences of clairvoyance and clairaudience – the experience of seeing or hearing something in the absence of an external stimulus, and attributed to the spirits of the dead – is of great scientific interest, both for anthropologists studying religious and spiritual experiences, and scientists studying pathological hallucinatory experiences.
In particular, researchers would like to better understand why some people with auditory experiences report a Spiritualist experience, while others find them more distressing, and receive a mental health diagnosis.
"Spiritualists tend to report unusual auditory experiences which are positive, start early in life and which they are often then able to control," explained psychologist Peter Moseley of Northumbria University in the UK when the study first came out.
"Understanding how these develop is important because it could help us understand more about distressing or non-controllable experiences of hearing voices too."

Why EV’s? Why not hybrids?
Any man worried about being called a "fag" is not going to buy an electric car. Those are the kind of guys that drive trucks and SUVs and talk about how fossil fuels are pretty much the only way to go they wouldn't be caught dead in something that didn't burn gasoline. And they marry the kind of women that need an SUV because they have two kids and they might need to drive in the snow who don't understand the difference between front rear and rear wheel drive and that small cars or smaller cars go just as easy in the weather as a big SUV. I made the mistake one time of looking at a couple and telling them they had a nice car and they both immediately looked at me and said it's an SUV. Now it was one of those crossover things that you kind of can't tell but they were offended that I didn't call their vehicle SUV because that's the status. Not going to convince a lady with two kids that has to run to a bunch of freaking sporting events or dance classes or anything else where she might have to put anything in her car to get something less than like a six seat vehicle. The last thing anybody wants to do is look like they're driving a station wagon or some other type of car that their parents had. I know people that will give up eating out a few times a month to afford to gas to keep their SUV.

The owner, four or five mods and a president can't run this place. Team or company would have to go in and take over a site as big as the DO. Not to mention the cost of buying domains and whatnot. Can't just go in and buy and take over a website it's like a business you have to have the manpower in the capital to do it.

If you believe any type of god exists you are a theist. Does that mean your not anti-  theists? Not at all. There are several theists, who claim gnostic and agnostic, who are anti-theists and champion atheist rhetoric and harass practicing theists. Are they atheists? They say no. Do they post the same as atheists? Yes.

When an electric car catches on fire all the fire department can do is continually douse it with water until the battery cools down enough the car won't melt. If it's in a parking garage you're really screwed because the car has the potential to ruin the parking garage. Since the issue with electric cars are heat not flames foam does not work on them. That was a very interesting conversation I recently had with a fireman who was inspecting a building I was in. His concern was that one of the Victorian buildings next door that had parking in the back if an electric car ever started to have a problem where they were called that they would literally have to stay there and keep it wet and cool or possibly even drop the car in the river to keep that antique building from burning down. He felt they should completely restrict electric cars from even being aloud inside the parking area. I'm not even sure the average person is aware of that it's just a concern obviously there's concerns with typical cars and fires just saying every option has sets of difficulties electric cars are no different.
As far as some other statements here it's very clear that some people hate that Americans and other countries have rural areas that require personal vehicle. The contempt the average atheist has for the average person is disgusting.

Why would I believe in something that's meant to specifically mock people who don't think like me. That's the atheist position. You make it very clear what kind of person you are. And like all atheists when speaking to women you can't help but bring some sexual overtone to it. You whole- heartedly reinforce the stereotype. And if I do the same I'm fine with that.

Let's have a discussion on the virgin birth
Gods having sex with women, especially virgins, was definitely a Greco-Roman thing and just another indication that the story of Jesus is nothing more than Rome trying to find a way to unify its population under religion because it was losing the battle of just domineering them army-wise.

Nobody one might talk to on the Internet is going to change my mind about anything. The internet is a dumping ground, it's a garbage heap. There's no way you're ever going to trust somebody you know in the internet enough to actually engage in any sort of meaningful conversation or relationship with them. And if you do it's because you don't have any real human beings in your life.

It's sad to think the only way atheists can be content is if theists no longer exist.  Maybe you guys can come up with a way to take us out then you could have a world that you feel you can be happy and free in. It's sad to think that you can't go through your whole day without thinking about the fact that somebody somewhere doesn't think like you. How horrible it must be when you have an immediate family member like a spouse or a child who has any interest in spirituality that you have to look at them and talk to them and have meals with them when they're just disgusting theists. That you sit while you're eating and look at them and think someday you people will no longer exist. But I'm evil and I'm horrible and I'm lower than you. It would be funny if it wasn't probably the scariest thing if people took any time to really sit and think about it.

Prayer
I can't speak for every pagan or polytheist but usually prayers to the gods are done in the form of thank yous and to honor them. I usually done on days dedicated to those gods and during ritual. Other than that communication with spirit is done through the ancestors/ local land spirits that kind of thing. You rarely ask for gods to do regular tasks or gifts to you personally. They have jobs to do so they're called on usually like I said for things like blessing fields during fertility rituals things like that. If you're looking for help or advice you pray to the ancestors.

Sure they might 'like to have a new uterus', but in reality almolst no one would actually go through with the transplant because of the other factors. It would be far easier to just adopt a child rather than risking your life.
You honestly have no idea most people adopt after going through every aspect that they can go through to try to bear their own children.

I can think of plenty women that would love to have a new uterus because the old one is damaged in some way endometriosis, cysts,  cancer. There are women who face a lot of those same situations you mentioned c-sections are available.

I think women who are trying to change the law so that other women can have an abortion are evil, self-loathers who completely betray their fellow women. I have far less respect for them than a woman who's transitioning to a man. That said I would never say they deserve less pay, less recognition, or less say in the laws they're allowed to vote same as I am. They also happened to be pieces of shit and completely un-American.

Not really, and it's just as offensive as wearing blackface. This is the gender equivalent to black face.

What's the point of reporting anything nobody does anything about it. It's been made clear to me that anything I might tell someone whether it's calling me a pedophile or talking about having brooms in my kids crotches they don't do anything. They even admit their violations and they don't do anything. Some poor soul who showed up here out of nowhere got reported by someone else for making a sexual comment to me and was threatened with being banned but, numerous people here make sexual comments to me all the time and nothing happens to them because they're friends with the mods and because I'm the the person being targeted. If I send a message to the mods now to tell them they're fucking pieces of shit. And I'm not sending RM anything in any way shape or form he's blocked on my end. Maybe what you need to do is get over yourself because you think you're all that and you're just another member of the fucking  forum.

Real witchcraft vs. Politics
Any halfway intelligent person is well aware that the genuine practicing of witchcraft was not in any way associated with the "Witch Hunts" in history. Men and women who had in some way made enemies with those in political or religious positions were murdered using the term witch to kill them. While some of these people may have engaged in practices that were once done in the community by witches such as midwifing or herbal healing there's no proof they practiced genuine witchcraft. Most were probably Christian practitioners who were honoring and continuing a skill that they were taught by a parent. The term witch is still used as a negative in political and religious speech to target mostly women but also men who are outside or considered an enemy of that political/ religious persuasion. What does this have to do with the modern practicing of witchcraft? That people in general still view that practice as evil or somehow negative. And that the people engaging in it are evil and negative. This holds true in regards to atheism as well even though witchcraft is a series of practices and that it's an atheistic practice and that gods are not necessary to engage in it. It is still considered woo woo by non- spiritual atheist and the target put on a person who calls themselves a witch is done by both political / religious enemies as well as atheism. I'm attaching a video that was done by an archaeologist who is also participates in a variety of pagan practices. It explains how the genuine practice of witchcraft has been demonized and uses a political tool to hurt and kill people who were probably in no way shape or form engaging in what would be considered witchcraft by those actually practicing.

The assault weapon ban didn’t reduce the masa shooting rate
If suicide is acceptable when you're sick and dying suicide should be acceptable at any point in someone's life. The choice to take your own life should be your choice so I don't take suicide into account when discussing guns.
