Thanks a lot, your majesty. Let's all heap praise on Dan for doing his job, and in the whiniest way possible. You're a goddamned hero. Time to take another well-deserved month long celebratory vacation!!
The thing I keep coming back to with these religious fanatics - people who insist on supernatural patriarchs - is how their "theology" keeps circling back around to a kind of simplistic obesiance to biology - to reproduction - which is in fact the expression of their evolutionary, naturalist urges. Here again, their god is genetic biology (as expressed in genitals) to which they bow and scrape.
@2 It's selective-reading-theology. If you want to talk about how God created Man, Genesis is kind of the last word on that theological subject. It contains not one, but TWO creation stories. For some reason, punk-ass, -phobic, pontificating fundamentalists pay no fucking attention to the FIRST one.
Contemplate the meaning of Genesis 1:27
"27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."
@7: Fun fact: in Judaic thought, God is traditionally referred to in the masculine, but God's divine presence (shechina) is referred to in the feminine.
Dan, this is not a good look for you. Don't let some college frosh twerp stand for all trans activists. Telling trans activists what they *should* focus on makes you look like a jerk.
This is the fat fight and the bi fight all over again. Yes, you made some dumb comments in the past, some of which were pretty hurtful. You've apologized, and changed your behavior for the better. But these continued swipes and pokes and backhanded compliments is passive-aggressive bullshit. If you actually thought the concerns voiced to you were valid, you wouldn't need to constantly say how you're not anti- whatever or pat yourself on the back every time someone publicly recognizes your growth.

Dudes. God is male AND female.

Jeez, grow up.
