Transgender Is Normal And Ok, OK?
That's how I see it. But I have a friend in this situation. On Facebook I see so much hate against Transgender people. They call them freaks and I hate it...I'll tell my story later. For now, I wanna see where this debate goes.

Skinny Is Bad/Skinny-Shame!
Here's my story...One time on my Facebook I was playing SocialLife but I couldn't continue playing without friends. So I looked down and saw a chat. In the chat I made at least 3 friends. One of which I got along with especially well. She was nice but we barely knew each other. Today I checked my news feed and saw loads of posts by her. I agreed with most of them except one... it was http://everydayfeminism.com/2015/04/thin-privilege-fight-fatphobia/?utm_source=SocialWarfare&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=SocialWarfare.Before I move on, let me tell you about me. It is not in my nature to be thick. I have nothing against being thick. In fact, sometimes I envy thicker women. I work to get bigger around my butt, legs, hips, and maybe even my boobs. But in reality, I am short with a small frame and I am underweight. I can't really help that much.So, I tried to reason with her because I knew from a post like this, she wouldn't be happy with my response. All I said was that I was a little offended by some of the things they said there. Some of those things were not true. We are equal no matter what size. But she got real upset in under a minute. She asked me why I think fat people are not oppressed and skinny people are. I told her I didn't say that and I didn't have anything against fat people. Then for no reason at all she mentioned she was pregnant, called me sad, then blocked me. It's been all day since that happened so I don't think I remember anything else happening. I got busy shopping with my new friend. I would love to have shorten this post by linking you a screenshot of our argument but I was blocked...That's the end of my story. I understand there is fat-shaming out there too but neither of them are good. We are all beautiful and wanted by someone. Changing the way you look is an option. I chose to exercise to gain some weight. You might go on a diet to lose weight. You might also like the way you are. But quite honestly after that argument I felt bad about myself. It's not the first time someone made me feel this way so I'm here to bring awareness to body-shaming in general. And this isn't just for women either... I'd love to hear your stories, arguments, and other forms of feedback. Thanks!
Winning Position: Against It
The Obesity issue is increasing in the U.S. We all know being fat makes you more suspectible to certain health issues and some people get made fun of for it. But is having Fat Pride a good thing?
Being fat or obese doesn't make you ugly. Everyone likes different body types. But if you use Fat Pride to bring skinny or fit people down? That's not okay!
Winning Position: Atheism
Christianity was never a force for good. It's a religion that convinces people to worship an imaginary being that closely resembles a Psychopath. Now that you're fired up, debate me. Prove to me God is real or you can just go because no one has and if you do, I will surrender with dignity. If you give up, I win.
Winning Position: Egalitarianism/Feminism

Egalitarianism/Feminism
Whether you put Feminism with Feminaziism or Feminism with Egalitarianism, I have an option for you!
I consider myself an Egalitarian. Why?
- Because Feminism has a bad rep.
- Because Egalitarianism literally means equality for all rather than prefering one gender.
- That's it.
Feminism isn't really needed in America as much as Anita Sarkeesian would make it out to be. Same as blacks, we have it pretty easy compared to several hundred years ago. But there are other countries all around us you could help if you insist on being oppressed.
I am not afraid of saying "Feminazi". I am not comparing them to the Nazis. It's just a way people say "Extremist Feminist". You can think of it in an offensive way if you'd like, but I don't want you attacking me for it.
Winning Position: Pro-Choice
Pro-Life: "I know what's better for you and I want control."
Pro-Choice: "I know what's good for me." or "I don't know what's good for you."
Just my interpretation of both sides...
In my opionion, abortion should remain legal. Especially since I'm female, I'm the one who carries the babies. In the case of rape, I might abort, but that's my choice. I don't want people taking over my body. I think it's perfectly fine if you don't wait too long. If you abort soon after, the fetus won't feel anything. It's barely formed yet so how could it? Even if I was sure I wouldn't abort, I wouldn't go around trying to make everyone else keep their babies. Sometimes it's necessary. A necassary evil. If it threatens the life of the mother (or 10 year old child) it is her choice. If a married couple has a baby, the father should have a voive in it but he must think about the mother as well. It's just wrong to say a fetus is more important than the mother in any case...
