It’s societal, not to mention Jews and Muslims or Hindus or Buddhists.

Fine, I’ll accept your admission that religious men of all stripes are terrible.

No. I never said that. That includes atheist and agnostic men who sexually assault women, but we are getting off topic.

Peruse r/PastorArrested on Reddit. There’s a lot. Hence, me saying “large number”. I mean, if you’d to start a “dueling arrest” thread between trans people and Christian leaders, I’m more than happy to oblige…

Reddit is not a credible source but I will agree with you that most transgender people are not rapists, however there have been some exceptions, in a school bathroom, a public bathroom and in prison to name a few

Some people are corrupt. What’s the point?

Reddit is also very left wing but still has a diverse base.

Yes, but how does feelings define gender? A man can only act like a woman based on his own observations because he doesn’t know what it’s like to be one.

I will agree to disagree and move on.

Take care

What’s it ‘like to be a woman’? It seems like that description would be incredibly convoluted.

You’re the one saying you want to protect women, but seem to be focusing on trans women rather than CIS men.

It doesn’t matter what one’s identity is.

I'd say many people think their identity matters. To them, anyway.

Feelings come and go. They are not permanent.

True, sometimes. Generally, though, for most people, their sense of identity isn't that capricious. Your mileage may vary, of course.

Using the same logic can I identify as Asian if I’m actually white or vice versa?

If you want to. I'm certainly not going to stop you.

This trans identity makes no sense. A man who identifies with woman’s roles is still a man. Nothing will change that.

You're free to believe whatever you like about your own identity.

And so does everyone else.

They can no more tell you what your identity is than you can tell them what their identity is.

-- A2SG, dunno about you, but that sounds fair enough to me...

You don’t have to trust Reddit. All the posts on r/PastorArrested (I think) link to news sources.

Independently verifiable. We could see if there's any food in your stomach, amongst other things.

How do you propose to do that? Surgery?

I just deleted the rest since it's all just you repeating bad arguments.

Sure, not like you were gonna read any of it anyway.

-- A2SG, why start now....

Only women know

Well, since ‘women’ can be born male, this is getting even more confusing.

And I just asked my wife what it’s like to be a woman. She said, and I quote, “I mean, every woman is different. There’s no one answer to that question.”

You cannot identify as something you aren’t. I am 28. I cannot suddenly say I’m 89 because I feel old. I’m an American. I cannot suddenly say I identify as Canadian because I feel like it.

Certain things do not change.

Pastor arrested doesn’t mean that Christians are over represented among rapists.
There are a good number of prisoners who identify as Christians but it’s unknown if they converted after they were incarcerated or if they are really dedicated to the religion For many people if their parents were Baptists, Catholics, Methodists etc… that’s what they say they are

Cis men? You mean men.

I’m simply stating no male regardless of what he identifies as or whether or not he is a danger or not belongs in a woman’s only space. No male does.

They are Christian’s in names only or in other words nominal Christian’s. Good point .

Be careful, next they will accuse us of the no true Scotsman fallacy

I'm not telling you what you can or can't identify as.

-- A2SG, would that were a common idea....
