Cats already say that. Some of us like that. Give a cat a box to get away from you in, and you have made a good friend.

I honestly have trouble finding your positions to be particularly problematic. No two people are quite a mirror for each other, but I have read, scanned, and picked through this post that I am replying to. I have difficulty conceiving of an argument that your positions are particularly alarming...

I just need comfortable chemistry.

Have you not noticed how much transphobic hate there is ON THIS BOARD, WHICH REPRESENTS THE TRADITONALLY LIBERAL/LIBERTARIAN SECULAR COMMUNITY?

This is a part of the governor's legitimate powers, but it must ultimately be the governor's decision whether or not they think that doing so will insure better behavior from prosecutors in the future. I do not envy governors their positions. These are not easy decisions. Truckers do not have...

...some of them look kind of cute, actually. So...I will never understand people that are looking for casual sex at all. It is minimal, uncertain gratification and a lot of drama and judgment and shaming. While I think that religious zealots were wrong to try to outlaw fornication, I have a...

I tend to see religion as extremely interesting, actually. I am not sure that I consider it a defect, but I do ask that religious people observe a sense of boundaries. Most of them, in my experience, do. Just because I complain about the rotten apples doesn't mean I hate apples. Apples are...

@Emily Lake, I am going to give you what I hope is a helpful parallel, here, but I don't want to be misunderstood. I would not be very happy if you pretended to fully understand what it's like to be transgender, since you really can't. Likewise, I will not pretend to understand fully the issues...

Religion itself is really rooted in ancient attempts to learn a good way of life, and even though time has distorted them into a complex system of folklore interwoven with sundry philosophical ideas, some good and some terrible, I think that all philosophical and religious ideas really come, at...

On the point of me being a dragon, it kind of started in the late 1990's. There were not as many options for young transgender women, and the only outlet for my gender identity was roleplay. Before starting hormone replacement therapy, I identified as essentially gender non-binary. For some...

The American Academy of Pediatrics does not recommend the "watchful waiting" model. Instead, they recommend embracing a non-binary model of gender precisely due to the criticisms that you have brought to this discussion. They believe that embracing a non-binary concept of gender tends to limit...

If I'm no longer obligated to behave with courtesy toward society just because it's arguably not natural, then I am going to stop wearing clothing altogether, and I might make like Diogenes and start masturbating in public. If only I could fill my belly by rubbing it, too.

You know the sexual behavior of non-humans can, in some species, be kind of brutal, right? The only thing that really tempers the rape culture, in nature, is that most animals are born with knives on their hands and feet and daggers in their mouths. Therefore, most of them observe at least a...

I actually dress in practical attire for my job, plus a little bit of silly costumery not related to my gender. Come to think of it, my place of work is relaxed enough that I wear a pair of dragon wings to work, and reactions are positive. I am really too lighthearted, most of the time, to...

Trans-boys being forced through female puberty tend to have worse issues, to be honest. They can become seriously injured by using inappropriate methods of chest-binding. Their rate of attempted suicide is considerably higher.
