This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I have never seen this presented as a religious issue. by Domer84

And I live in the South. While there may be a few raising a religious objection, they are a relatively small minority.

The obvious objections are things like permanent damage to transitioning minors, the ability of minors to consent, the social contagion problem, teaching small children that they may be the wrong gender, transitioning kids at school without parental consent, biological men in women's spaces, and biological men taking women's opportunities, such as sports.

I suspect that trans activists may use the few who raise religious objections as strawmen to avoid addressing the other issues.
