It's the only possibility left, because you can't plead ignorance on this matter, and deliberately trying to make the lives of countless innocent strangers more difficult o.ut of spite towards some vague threat you feel they represent to your own personal values cannot possibly be construed as well-meaning
4. I never said I had well-meaning intentions towards this group of people, because I don't. However, I disagree that it is malice. To me, I'm fighting for truth.
1. If facts and reality threaten your worldview, maybe you should change your worldview.
2. I'm going to put this bluntly. The truth doesn't give a single fucking shit about tradition.
3. So, its bad because it threatens your "traditions", which is bad because it threatens your worldview, which is bad because it threatens your "traditions". Circular logic.
4. But you're objectively not fighting for truth.

Traditionalism is the pursuit of the metaphysical truth of the cosmic order and the universe. If it's adverse to the truth, then it's wrong, and it contributes to the destruction and degradation of the human spirit and as a result the physical world.

5. Because you are encouraging a culture which is totally against God and His order.

True. Trans people also have to suffer the psychological harm of the harrassment, abuse and assault they face... all of which you apparently don't give a cuss about. Because that's what being a moral person is all about: not caring when your actions may ruin the life of an innocent.
Okay.Traditionalism wrote:Their active ideology is harmful towards my traditional views and traditionalism in general.
Traditional Indian culture says: "Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat?"
Oh, yeah, I should have mentioned this from the start: Your "traditional views" and "traditionalism"? They are your own, not universal. An awful lot of cultures throughout the world have accepted trans and non-binary people. Starting with India's hijras.
You're not describing Traditionalism. You're describing cultural traditions. There is a difference.Traditionalism wrote:In the long run, their micro culture harms the truth because it is anti-traditional and works against my beliefs, therefore it is harmful.
That makes no sense. Disregarding this alleged "truth" (What truth is that, exactly? Certainly not scientific truth, or anything like it, since the consensus seems to be strongly against you on trans people) that is harmed by trans people's "micro culture" (whatever that is), how can your values be hurt by a complete stranger, living countless miles away, not abiding by them? And what about groups with traditional beliefs of their own, different from yours? Do their different beliefs hurt yours too?
I don't feel my own pantheist beliefs are "hurt" by someone on the other side of town being a Sunni muslim. I don't feel my support for my fellow LGBT+ people is "hurt" by the religious freedoms given to the evangelist community a couple of blocks away. So... what's the deal with your beliefs? Why are they so oversensitive they can't function properly, they can't possibly survive, unless you are forcing everyone around you to accept them?
Because their ideas spread and become accepted. Therefore they are harmful. They are against my beliefs. And they spread. So it's harmful because it violates the truth.
Your oversimplification of my views leads me to believe that you're willingly ignoring what I'm saying. I'm telling you that this is the truth to me, and that because it's the truth I have the conviction to fight for it to see it realized.Traditionalism wrote:I never said I had well-meaning intentions towards this group of people, because I don't.
Ergo, you are being malicious.
kTraditionalism wrote:However, I disagree that it is malice.
I'm sorry, but you don't get to redefine what malice is, and your intentions behind your support for this legislation clearly falls within the definition of malice. You are acting in bad faith.Traditionalism wrote:To me, I'm fighting for truth.
What truth? Some shoddy biological essentialism that has no basis in actual science?

5. Because you are encouraging a culture which is totally against God and His order.
1. Logic and facts back one of us up. Not you.
2. Except, its not.
3. So, you're saying you're primarily concerned with the spiritual health of humanity? Then why are you for things which blatantly degrade the human spirit, instead of uplifting it?
4. Again, its not. No rational, loving, merciful God would declare it so.
5. How do you know that which you are standing up for is really God, instead of Satan?
