I don't wish a concussion on anyone, but if it helped Mick see reason, well, that's a silver lining.

I think you've confused abolishing the police with calling the police.
When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
I mean, if that is the case, then that means God built some people to be transgender and seek gender affirming care.
So either way, the church's bit here is bullshit.
Perhaps, then, we shouldn't accept conservatives or their religions.
A malevolent god is certainly a possibility, but in that case, the absolute best thing I could do is not even acknowledge its presence.
Closest thing to a sport that I watch is pro wrestling, and I greatly enjoy women's wrestling, so....
Unfortunately, yeah. Up until this bee in his bonnet, Francis was considered to be a progressive Pope.
Just goes to show the system is the problem.
What's fascinating there is that not only does the Talmud identify eight genders, but two of them specify having changed their gender presentation through human intervention - precisely the type of intervention that the Pope is decrying here.
It distinguished between gender-affirming surgeries, which it rejected, and “genital abnormalities” that are present at birth or that develop later. Those abnormalities can be “resolved” with the help of health care professionals, it said.
Of course. God created males to be male and females to be female, and any attempt to change that is an abomination... but he didn't create intersex people to be intersex, and that must be "corrected". Just goes to show, this is just man putting his hate in God's mouth again.
Honestly, the main reason I don't believe in God is because I can't believe any all-powerful, just and benevolent God would allow things like this to be said in their name without any push back.
Never thought I'd see the day.
