    The transgender Navy seal of 20 years

    Since we don't have an LGBT section and this is the only one I know I won't be told we are not full people. Meet Kristin Beck, the transgender Navy SEAL hero fighting Trump’s proposed trans ban But hey, they are not 'fit' to serve. Edit: She was also in SEAL team 6: Transgender Navy SEAL...

    Why I hate female privilege in the medical field

    What kind of person thinks that just because men have some physical differences such as generally being more physically strong in terms of muscles that that means women shouldn't argue about equality? Are you saying that that makes them inferior? You're entire post just seems like you are...

    Effect of salt on evil spirits/black magic

    Maybe it would be better to say that artificial rarity can make something already powerful more so. Salt was rare due to it's impracticality of transporting and/or getting out of the ground. Now days we solved that. But since its now underused and has had such a long tradition that's made up for...

    Effect of salt on evil spirits/black magic

    Well, if it just costs a lot of money that isn't really gonna do it. I guess I was more getting at that... okay say a human skull... they are super common, but they are artificially rare because of laws and customs. That's a case where the artificial rarity makes it even more powerful. Now a...

    Effect of salt on evil spirits/black magic

    Because if it costs more it's used much less since less people can afford it or afford it much less often. It becomes artificially rare due to the price. I don't think my explanation hinged on why it's rare, just that it being rare at all can sometimes make it more powerful to use.

    How do members of other religions explain Christian faith healing?

    Derran Brown really knows his stuff when it comes to things like this. It really shows how lesser magick works. Little more than trickery. Yoga isn't faith healing, and meditation isn't faith healing either. Both benefit one spiritually but meditation can benefit your body and mind too for...

    All non Christians ought to be crucified....

    A small handful of members seem to change their religion often. So he might or might not say he is for a few weeks or months.

    Effect of salt on evil spirits/black magic

    You've already decided that "subjective attribution" "doesn't change properties of said object" so any explanation I could think of you probably wouldn't accept but I can try. I think you are more approaching it from an almost physical standpoint, when really it's not any physical property these...

    All non Christians ought to be crucified....

    Why are posts like this allowed? I mean, okay, I get killing people who don't convert is a Abrahamic tendency in many situations more so historically than current day but we still shouldn't allow it in the interfaith section. If anything this should be in the debates and even then if it isn't...

    Effect of salt on evil spirits/black magic

    In my experience sage doesn't do **** but salt acts like a door or barrier. Things can't pass it without permission of who laid it. If I had to guess it's for some reason like a threshold. Over time, if you don't respect an existing threshold it can weaken... but a freshly drawn line of salt is...

    The "Tremendous Medical Costs" of Transgendered People in the Military

    Not really. I know of tons of more conditions much more costly than transitioning. Considering even at market value for a civillian consumer it's less than a $100 a month for the medication if you go all out of pocket. Locally a couple years ago I knew a place locally that did HRT, they wanted...

    Taking a break, and sorry

    The last week or so I've been feeling kinda sick, not sleeping well or at regular times, not eating much and some other stuff so my mood has been all over the place on top of some already really stressful things in my life lately that I've put off addressing. So I'm gonna take a break until I...

    You get an insight into the hate transgender people face when...

    There's no saving this thread. I thought up until the response to the NY times article and my countless other sources there was a chance for an actual discussion where people might learn something. I should of disengaged right then and there. We really need that LGBT section we voted on last...

    This is why we need that LGBT DIR we voted on like a year ago. I don't want this kind of crap posted on my topics. You think the FBI is "fake news"? If anything, no it's been proven, that those numbers are WAY under since so many police departments never report to the FBI. This topic isn't a...

    Metal detectors "encroach on Muslim rights" ??

    Huh. My bad then.The one time I take for granted what others are saying and don't read the article fully and slip up. In fairness I usually feel like I'm one of the few who actually read an article before opening my mouth, so I shouldn't be too hard on myself.

    Oh I'm sorry I didn't know something like 2 or 5 years is all our lives are worth to you. The rest of your post is just transphobic like comparing us to people lying about having AIDs (something that can kill you!) and the slur you used. No one said anything about a genocide but you, all I...

    You get an insight into the hate transgender people face when...

    You are lying. Or at least didn't look at the article at all. Both are bad. The NY times took the statistics from the FBI and other reputable official sources. Are you saying the FBI is "fake news"? And yes, ****ing 88 is a larger number proportionally. If there are 100,000 trans people in...

    demon/angel

    People have different beliefs and practices thus they will contradict each other. Who is "right"? Well, Electra thinks she is right, Mrpasserby thinks they are right, and I think you are both wrong and I'm right. In either 3 cases life moves on. No point in saying someone is or isn't initiated...

    Marine Who Allegedly Killed Trans Woman Claims He Was Defending His Honor "These laughable excuses are sometimes well-received by juries. In the United States, the trans panic defense helped to mitigate the punishment of a high-schooler who shot a trans classmate, execution-style, in front of...
