I get why many here want to separate the LGB and the TQ. But the whole alphabet-soup is fundamentally rooted in the core premise of the Sexual Revolution and modern feminism: men and women are essentially interchangeable.

This is the piece that is incompatible with the teaching of all Abrahamic religions: Jews, Christians, and Muslims. (And even James Martin.) The Biblical creation account highlights man and woman as two halves of a whole (Jerry Macguire was right.) Both the Bible and the Quran highlight distinct differences between men and women. These differences are the basis for our gender roles, "women and children first", the separation of men's and women's sports, what relationships we condone, why we don't draft women, and a host of other legal and social distinctions.

If the sexes are interchangeable, none of these rules make any sense. What does it matter if it's a man & woman boinking each other or two men? Why shouldn't two men get married? Why should women get priority on the lifeboats? If men and women are the same, women's sports really are discriminatory. Why should women get separate spaces when men don't? What's the harm of treating a men in a dress as a woman?

T or Q are a problem. But they're not THE problem. They're an effect not a cause. Separating them from the LGB won't solve anything, since the LGB also rely on the same underlying interchangeability. As long as that remains, T & Q will always return.

I recognize this is not a popular view in this group, but I've long maintained that you can't solve teen-trannies without taking on the acceptance of adult-trannies, and that requires challenging that "men and women are interchangeable" assumption.
