| What changed? The Civil Rights Act of 1964. Suddenly (back then, anyway) people discovered that they could say "No" to being told to give up their bus seat, that they did not have to say anything to the cops, that "Due Process" was no longer a whites-only privilege, and that i... |

| Apologies for jumping into this old thread, but I'm also searching for answers. I was raised in a Southern Baptist family, but like you, I've had doubts and struggles with the concept of faith. It's tough for logical minds like ours, right? There's always room for doubt. None of us want to feel we'... |

| I personally disagree that transgender women don't have a lived female experience. Granted, it's a different experience, but then again - there's no one size fits all way to experience womanhood. If there was, I don't think I would be included and that's coming from a cisgender woman. One of my fri... |

| HRT takes away a lot of the biological male advantages, if not most Irrelevant. That's like trying to argue that what Rachel Dolezal did doesn't amount to blackface--and race really is a social construct. I mean...a biological male can always go back to being masculine. Biological females will almo... |

| I think that athletes should be competing with their birth gender. That way, no Olympic dreams can be broken. and what about the dream of a trans girl? That's a dream you're okay with breaking? points made before illustrate it better than I can: why can men excel but women can't? Women CAN and DO e... |

| I don't get transableism. Why would someone want to make themself disabled? People with disabilities are treated like second rate citizens. Why would someone want to be treated like a second rate citizen? Victim identity. In America some have floated the idea that hard drugs shouldn't be banned. Th... |

| It seems that men are going to be criticized, no matter what they do. If men do well in business, then they are patriarchs who must be brought down. If men are looking for a bit of nooky, then they are sexual objectifiers who must be brought down. Now, a lot of men are just checking out of traditio... |

| But on WP, that's something I can grudgingly understand. I have my own theories about that I've already written about ad nauseam. But here there's an overwhelming sense of victimhood that can to some extent be justified. I remember a former WP member who constantly bemoaned being victimized by redn... |

| Regarding what people say on your property--I mean, PHYSICALLY at your house. But platforms like Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, etc. are someone's property, so it's "their house" in a sense. I support the right of everyone to say whatever they have to say. But as I've said before, NOBODY can b... |

| No one ever said WP was a free speech site. There is no such thing as freedom of speech at places unless you go to I2. But you will never be free from consequences when you have freedom of speech for real. I know. And I agree. There is a time/place for true free speech, and I do think that is somet... |
