The outrage over March 31'st being trans visibility day feels disingenuous and extremally hypocritical. Leftist opinion

So, your an "SJW/woke/snowflake" if your a minority and you get offended by how your being treated by conservatives and express that and that's a bad thing but if conservatives feel like Christianity is being disrespected and they complain about it that's somehow not "being a woke SJW snowflake" and is also perfectly fine?

Also, it doesn't seem Christ like at all to get offended by this, especially when the Bible doesn't mention trans people at all.

In addition, I don't understand why conservatives are pretending that they'd be fine with trans day of visibility if it was on any other day. I guarantee you wouldn't be.

Christ didn't share an opinion on trans ppl in the bible because it wasn't really a thing 2000 years ago. If it did, he'd be against the idea. Not the sinner (the person), but the sin.

Keep in mind that the WH's Easter egg hunt event did not allow any religious imagery, but trans day of visibility on Easter is just fine. The only reason Easter even exists is because of God and the resurrection.

Hey maybe check out this article by the AP about the WH Easter eggs - hate to break it to you but daily wire hosts consistently leave out information to make people upset

“The American Egg Board has been a supporter of the White House Easter Egg Roll for over 45 years and the guideline language referenced in recent news reports has consistently applied to the board since its founding, across administrations,” Emily Metz, its president and CEO, said in a statement.”

I’d encourage you to get more sources for your information than Ben Shapiro as someone who has listened to him consistently and back checked with better independent news podcasts he omits quite a lot. If you ever questioned and researched the things he said instead of blind belief you’d realize this.

Easter actually originated as an ancient pagan celebration of the spring equinox

So, just to get this straight, you’re speaking for Jesus?

“Man and woman he created them”

-The Bible

Hopefully that settles that issue

"Slaves, be subject to your masters with all reverence, not only to those who are good and equitable but also to those who are perverse."

-The Bible

So you’re pro-slavery or do you just pick and choose what God thinks?

Exactly. You can't pick and choose. You either believe all of it or none of it.

Why do you have to believe all of it or none of it?

u/Toiletpapercorndog Apr 04 '24

Because the same reasoning you use to not believe one part can be applied to the whole thing

Probably worth noting that the Torah, a text Jesus would have considered rather important, does in fact talk about gender fluidity and transitioning genders. Indicating that these were things that existed at the time.

That's a lie being pushed by the left. Genesis clearly states that there are two genders man and woman. However in the Talmud, rabbis are instructed to offer insight into four specific birth defects and other physical aberrations, to understand how affected individuals should observe Jewish laws that differ for men and women.

The four such phenomena described in the Talmud are mischaracterized by those who now promote modern notions of gender identity. One of them is a eunuch, the act of which is forbidden to do under Jewish law.

Not only is there no recognition of "gender identity" in Rabbinic literature, but aberrations are neither desirable nor a human choice. They are unfortunate physical defects which Rabbi must address.
