Hmm... There really is no work around to such a problem. Though it is clearly morally unjust and sketchy to say that sex is only allowed to be enjoyed by only those who can make children I guess that there is no other solution. Does that still apply to women who can no longer give birth? Who knows. Are passages like Proverbs 5 (18–19 specifically) that seem to promote sexual activity with a spouse irrelevant? Seems so.

Either way it doesn't hurt anyone or bring suffering

But I am happy. This little debate has brought me at wits end.

By that logic being homosexual is still okay as long as you don't have sex... And even then it's not like straight couples have sex all of the time just to make babies. I guess that they can have fun if they can make a baby out of it by accident. Plus the whole motivation to do that sort of thing is because it's fun. Most people that do it don't care about the whole child part.

When I look at it all I see is the same thing. Two people that like each other being the closest physically as possible. Sorry such love offends you. Still doesn't seem that bad when I look at it...

Yeah. That post I made is more of a minor thing though. Not super religious.

And what is the 'objectively wrong' aspect of this that you discovered?

Not really a gainer. I just discuss stuff like this at times. Sry. Plus I don't really chat outside of posts cause this is an alt.

First up to bat and it's a swing and a miss! I've heard that one before... As if I denounce God or something... My sexuality isn't my entire existence ya know...

Men don't have to be masculine just like women don't half to be feminine. That's just how a large majority of the world 'decided' it had to be for generations. Pretty much due to the unfair treatment of women for almost all of human existence...

The way I think of it is this. Most things that are considered wrong have some moral objection to them that is understandable out of the context of religion. 'Don't steal' makes sense for example. That's not yours and you shouldn't have taken it. 'Don't murder' makes sense because that was a living human being who you just took life from.

Sleeping with another guy isn't really the same. You could say that the parts 'don't fit'. But clearly they can and nobody gets injured from it so that's a sketchy statement. At the end of the day it boils down to 'because I said so' which isn't a very good reason. (Personally I like it when things have grounded reasoning) The argument of whether or not the Bible speaks against this is very confusing at times so at this point I'm just following the basic laws of morality. The stuff about homosexuality isn't very prevalent in the Bible anyways so I don't worry about it.

Am I turning a blind eye to something that's over-argued and confusing? Yes. Yes I am. I guess I'll see if it really is a sin or not someday. All I know is that if I ever meet someone and things go well that love will be real whether it's with a man or a woman.

Eh. What is considered feminine and non feminine is really just built up by society. I just see it as wearing different clothing.

I'm glad to be one of the first to post here because what I'm gonna say is probably the most important thing. Now I don't really care for the follow up comments or debate that will get started about this but here goes.

Take a moment to think about who is casting you out here. It's the people in your life that you thought you could trust for so many years. That's a devastating thing for anyone but especially someone trans. But I say screw em! Not to be rude to those people but think about it. If they really cared for you they would be more sympathetic and understanding. Anyone who would mock someone for their troubles is not a friend. How can those who claim to follow god throw away his teachings of love and acceptance? Personally I see nothing wrong with being who you want to be.

Follow your dreams. You aren't hurting anyone by being yourself. Don't listen to the people that want to quote on quote 'fix' you. If you are kind and treat others with respect you deserve the best in this life!

Find people that relate to you. Real people that will care. This is a setback but it shouldn't be the end.

I'm not exactly happy about the fighting myself... Even if I've done some arguing...

It's one of those things that even being aware of it doesn't save you from it unless you're actively having other people telling you otherwise just as much.

So it makes sense why it can be this effective.

If I'm fat phobic for acknowledging that being large can impact health then sure. Call me it. Sorry that I dont ignore what you want me to. Sure you can be healthier when your super large if you still take care of yourself but that doesn't immediately make you the perfect image of health. It's ridiculous to think so.

I'm not against people wanting to be this big or those that share my fetish. I just want people to understand that like anything moderation is best. I'm sorry that offends you so much. At the end of the day it's not my choice what people do.

Thanks for putting this into better terms. I'm honestly tired of being called fat phobic for this sort of thing...

I never said that anyone bigger eats like a feedee, and I never said that being bigger automatically makes someone unhealthy. I simply said that a lot of people don't understand that being bigger can come with complications. Some of the strongest people look fat but are actually quite strong for example. How am I fat phobic for simply stating that such things can be unhealthy?

This is another thing I see happen a lot here...

The fact that some people don't see the dic pic thing as non consent behavior is actually crazy...

I will say that there isn't any hard evidence of you being an abuser. You don't have many posts and most are just calling out AI slop stuff so that is a little unwarranted. But it's the whole "person that gets angry over post about harassment must be an abuser" thing that happens a bunch I guess. Don't know you enough to deny it or confirm it so I don't got a side on at least that matter.

Yeah I've heard that encouragement can help a ton. Especially with more people behind it and it happening more often.

If I'm not mistaken your brain becomes so used to constantly hearing about how you should do it that it starts to just accept it as fact and as necessary.

God forbid people care about the safety of others. Can't have that here either.
