Why not put an image of an arab raping a goat?

Rape is a crime carried out against a person.

Are we going to keep telling ourselves lies that bestiality doesn't exist.

Noone's saying that bestiality doesn't exist. But even in this thread people are saying that trans doesn't exist.

Just because it exists doesn't mean its not disgusting.

This is the attitude that we might be able to dissolve with awareness. And then the next generation won't have to suffer from your disgust, and the objects of your disgust won't have to put up with it. Win for you. Win for them.

    People can find disgusting what they find disgusting.

    When that involves finding a group of people such as intersex and trans, and trying to make their life so unpleasant that they kill themselves, then it is infringing on their right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

    So you need to go and live somewhere like Iran if you want to do that. In the USA, it is against the principles upon which the country was founded. In the rest of the western world, it is simply against human rights.

    If I no longer see goat rape as disgusting isn't that a win for everyone?

    I don't know. How much time to do spend oppressing goats out of fear of being raped by them?

    What if trans recognized what they are is what they are physically, because to be is a physical condition, not a mental one.

    We know what happens. Their quality of life drops, their depression increases, anecdotally, on the back of that any other mental conditions they struggle with worsen, and their suicidal ideation increases.

    Gender affirming treatment isn't a guess. It's the standard treatment because it has the best outcomes for the patient.

      A person is allowed to dislike or find disgusting any other person they please.

      Not if that oppresses people.

      People aren't trying to make their life miserable.

      You say that, but that's what it does, and the reality is that that's probably the goal, even if those that feel the disgust are not aware of it.

      They are just disagreeing with them because they are wrong and preservation of a society that accepts and respects physical reality is more important than their feelings.

      Who is disagreeing with whom?

      If they commit suicide because someone dislikes them the actual counciling they need is in accepting that people are allowed to have opinions of you and to learn to accept other people's opinions, more so than affirmation.

      They don't commit suicide because someone dislikes them.

      It's against the principles of the foundation of the US to be free to form opinions of people and to speak your mind?

      "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

      It doesn't say we have the right to deny life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to people if we decide they're "disgusting".
