If this is your first time checking out a debate, here are some quick tips to help get you started:
Arguments with the highest score are displayed first.
Argument replies (both in favor and in opposition) are displayed below the original argument.
To follow along, you may find it helpful to show and hide the replies displayed below each argument.
To vote for an argument, use these icons:
You have the power to cast exactly one vote (either up or down) for each argument.
Once you vote, the icon will become grayed out and the argument's score will change.
Yes, you can change your vote.
Debate scores, side scores and tag scores are automatically calculated by an algorithm that primarily takes argument scores into account.
All scores are updated in real-time.
To learn more about the CreateDebate scoring system, check out the FAQ.
When you are ready to voice your opinion, use the Add Argument button to create an argument.
If you would like to address an existing argument, use the Support and Dispute link within that argument to create a new reply.
I think it's great supporting people who want to dress and act with freedom but you can't choose to identify as a different gender just because your preferences align with classic appearances.
It's frankly impossible to identify as a sex/gender you have never experienced being. How would anyone know what it feels like to be a woman if they have never in their life been one?
Literally zero knowledge of what that feels like.
There are so many aspects that define women that no amount of surgery or hormones could produce.
I'm all about living your truth but let's not live someone else's truth and call it our own. Maybe a different word for men who want to appear feminine and women masculine.
I don't see how it's beneficial to allow this as some sort of right people have. Its not!
Is being transgender okay? Should we support them and the transgender movement?
Hello L:
"Okay" is not relevant... Being FREE to be who you want to be in this great land of ours, IS relevant.. Do I support people who want to live their life the way they choose? I DO!

Then you support the white, male, Christian Conservative who stands for the flag and thinks ANTIFA is a terrorist organization and that Kaepernick is a dick with ears.

Hello Cream:
I DO. I support his RIGHT to think anything he wants..
Hitler was neither Conservative or someone who stood for the American flag. By your fake standard, Churchill was a Nazi. The only Nazi here is you the Jew hater and lover of groups who hate Jews. No one on this site denies your Nazi speech.
Hitler was neither Conservative or someone who stood for the American flag.
Your problem being that:-
A) He was a Conservative. He was put into power by Conservatives who were shit scared that the Communist revolution was going to arrive in Germany and he persecuted everybody except Conservatives.
B) You said "the flag", not "the American flag", so you are being the typically dishonest Nazi everybody in the world knows you are.
He was a Conservative. He was put into power by Conservatives who were shit scared that the Communist revolution was going to arrive in Germany and he persecuted everybody except Conservatives.
Yet no Conservative would have followed someone touting Socialism while on a cocktail of drugs, mocking Christianity, mocking Jews, and praising Islam. You would have, and you would now.
It's not about who they choose to be, it is about who God made th em to be. I will still love the person, just not their decision to rebel against what Gods word says and how he has created make and female
Your conception of love is seriously fucked. I've got no interest in being 'loved' by anyone the way you 'love' people, and anyone else with an ounce of self respect won't either.
Stop justifying your prejudices by invoking your god. Even if your god exists you're not god yourself. You're not up in the godhead. You don't have someone direct channel or special channel. You don't know how god made anyone. Check that hubris. You're just another mortal ass human who can't own their own prejudices.
What exactly do you mean by the way us people love? I base my beliefs and my morals by what God says. I'm not justifying anything. I'm simply basing my belief system and actions by the way God wants me to. I have no idea what you're meaning, so if you could elaborate that'd be great. And also the bible clearly explains how he made man. And woman.
I'm not coming for your god. I'm coming for your conception of love. The reasons you believe homosexuality is wrong are irrelevant, as is your particular belief that homosexuality is wrong. What is relevant is that you think you can stand in judgement against someone (in a way that you do not do for others) and still claim to love them. You cannot love someone despite themselves because that's not loving all of them. What you're describing is tolerance at best and intolerant gaslighting at worst.
Is being transgender okay? Should we support them and the transgender movement?
It's a person's right to be transgendered. What's not okay is giving sex changes to kids before the age of consent and demanding everyone else guess their identity or refer to them by some weird dictionary of pronouns that we don't want anything to do with.
How anyone else raises a child under the advisement of licensed medical professionals really isn't any of your bloody business. You're certainly not more qualified; you obviously don't even know that the standard treatment for gender dysphoric children is to administer non-altering hormone blockers until the age of consent.
You must be pretty fragile to get this worked up over being asked to add a few more words to the thousands already in your vocabulary. Of course, we both know this isn't really about the words. You feel put upon because people are resisting the damaging gender constructs you've casually practiced throughout your whole life, and protecting those constructs is more important to you than making a low effort gesture of basic respect.

Of course it is, and it should also be the business of Congress, how these "professionals" got their licenses in the first place. These professionals, along with the issuers of these licenses, belong in jail. Child abuse is child abuse, license or no license.

Because not everyone believes in God's law, and some people have different gods, with different laws... just because you believe in a certain God, that doesn't mean everyone else does...
And who exactly would your God be? My God loves me enough that he died for me. He suffered was mocked and gave his life so that I could have life. If you dont want a God like that, then this life, what's the point??
In order for your god to have done any of that your god first had to decide to create an existence with evil and sin and damnation. Your god did not have to do that. Instead, your god could have created an existence with only good and right and no need for salvation. Your god did not do that.
Your god is a firefighter who sets people on fire for attention and gratitude. No self respecting being would want a god like your god. Fuck your god, and fuck you for using it to justify imposing your prejudices against other people.
And what us that supposed to mean sir? I'm not trying to force you into anything. I'm simply showing you the truth and you can do whatever you want with it

Jace is a little bit unhinged. It might be her diet.
It means if you attempt to oppress me or mine on the mere basis of your religious beliefs I will resist you. You quite literally suggested that transgender people do not have a legal right to exist, so no you're not just showing people the truth and letting them do whatever they want with it.
Okay let me make something clear. I NEVER said that these humans shouldnt exist. I've merely stated that what they are doing is going against Gods law. For example. If I have a son and hes doing something wrong. I can love him and care about him, but hate what hes doing. All I've said is that being transgender simply goes against how God made man and woman. And no, you doing have to believe it. Not everyone believes in the truth. All I can do is show you. And tell you with patience and kindness. Love ya'll

God didn't make any laws. Humans made the laws and told people they got them from God so the people wouldn't disobey them.

I was under so much stress I was terrible to live with.πππ I had the kids to think of, they didn't need a maniac for a father and my wife didn't need a lunatic living with her either.
I abused and beat my own kids and my wife and ended up under psychiatric care
Wail , wail you complete nutter thatβs what you get for attempting to con your boss πππππ€£π€£ππππ

Believing you know God's plan is even more ridiculous than believing in God. It's the next level of ridiculousness you reach after you go to church a few times and meet up with other crazies.
