[@Cole_McGill]

Unironically, drag queens helped me break down some of my learned biases against certian feminine things(I would say stuff like "I'm not that kind of gay"). Later on drag kings(and other forms of drag performers) helped me, a gay man, have a better understanding of masculine(and non-gendered expression) things that I didn't allow myself to have(just as drag queens helped with the feminine things). I think a lot of cishet men would benifit from drag kings becoming mainstream and an accepted form of expression. Also, historical men's fashion maaking a comback through drag kings is exactly what men need nowadays, men's formal wear is so boring.

And I was so genuinely confused. I guess she meant that gayness is a sin that you can just shed like a snake skin? That's so wild because while I'm not a Christian, I interpret sin to be living a life of serious crime without remorse or morals, not just wanting to bone the same gender as you lol. But why would God even create the concept of being gay if he hates it that much? Her response to that question was that God and sin are separate which boggled my mind even more because I thought he created everything...

They think that lgbt people are the enemy, therefore they not only did this to themselves but they deserve it. They don't blame god because god must be perfect. There's no way he'd make a mistake. There is no place in GDs heads for questioning that (or anything, really). Therefore it must be those peoples choice to stray from god. Even though god has a plan for everyone and is all knowing, so he knew what he was doing setting them up for failure. Even though humans have the gift of free will and choose their own path in life. The contradictions just never end.

[@fervor-craft]

@@SocksWithSandalsEnjoyer You see, in their mind, god is all-powerful so every contradiction is just a 20 dimensional chess move on god's part to test humanity. Why he would do this and why you would want to turn to a god who is basically a dick for "mysterious reasons", is anyone's guess though.

Why would an all powerful and all knowing entity make a bet with the devil and torture someone just to prove something? The god in the old testament was way more about punishing and playing with people's lives than the new testament which seemed more about forgiveness, being less judgemental and having faith. It's almost as if those two were written by different people - very different people. Or did God have a change of heart? But that would mean he was wrong at some point.

Someone (Bethany and Zethany) clearly missed that verse in the Bible where the Big J himself talks about how you shouldn't worry about a speck of dust in someone else's eye when you've got a plank in your own. Videos like these hit a lot closer to home for me. Christianity has given so much hope for me, my family, and so many others. I mean heck, thirty years ago my dad almost committed self-unalive, and the only thing that saved him was turning to Christ. My anxiety and depression would be so much harder to manage without faith in a greater Creator that keeps the world spinning so that I don't have to stress about it. That's why it always breaks my heart to see people like Girl Defined use it as a sword to cut down others. As a sidenote, I find it interesting that a vast majority of Christians so transphobic when Eve - the literal FIRST WOMAN IN SCRIPTURE - was created from the rib of Adam. AKA, created from the flesh of a man. So if you think about it, the argument could be made that Eve was the first trans woman, God gave our biology the ability to transition from male to female from day one.

And there were eunichs, either self made or born that way and sometimes were part of religious ceremonies? I'm not too sure on my limited biblical knowledge. Also, for funsies and jokesies, it was originally Adam and Steve, Eve took the "St" out of her name so "Steve" is her deadname. God swapped out a gay couple with a straight couple where Eve is either considered trans, intersex, or both and Adam was a cishet man. Change my mind (:

[@smp6565]

As someone who's worked with over 50 children ages 0-8 I can tell you that they are not confused in the slightest by any lgbt+ views. The clothes are just cloth to them and as long as its fun and joyful, they love it. A girl once told a little boy in my work "oh I dont think you can wear this, it's a girl dress" while we were having dress up and play time. I told them calmly that a dress is a dress and anyone who likes it can wear it,as there's no such things as girl/boy dresses. They both looked at me and said "OK". Boy was happy in his dress and girl wore a shark costume and forgot about it. Simple. Kids only know what we teach them.

I went to a pride event when I was 11, there was a family-friendly drag show with a sign language translator. There were lots of aspiring queer singers that performed before the drag show. During the drag show, I saw a large audience that included people of all ages, genders, and sexualities. I met a married couple, a man and a woman who had toddlers with them watching the drag show.

[@Delthefunkyhomosapienscousin]

Why do they seem so scared of having a choice in life? And why do they have to project it onto everyone else? I feel bad for them because they seem genuine upset that other people choose to live a life that they don't, but why do they have to make it everyone else's problem??

Do they really think drag queens twerk in front of children at family-friendly shows like... there's a reason those events are for children, and if people take their children to shows that are not appropriate for young kids, that's a parenting issue and applies to all shows/events, not just ones where drag queens are participating😑

[@ruthperez7985]

Yeah I agree with you on this one I think the right wingers show some drag show clips on tv like the drags being wildly inappropriate in front of children that the bad parents took them in. which those shows are for adults but these conservative news reporter thinks that's every drag shows that are mistakenly labeled family friendly so they can easily prey on your kids but that's so not true .

[@squidmom3162]

I am thoroughly convinced these two are so afraid of just respecting people’s pronouns or gender identity or supporting who they want to be, because they don’t want to look at themselves and realize “oh wait. I’m not actually living a life that I’m happy with. I’m not happy with who I am right now. If I try to understand myself, everything could change.” They even basically said it out right in the video! “Now you have a thousand options of who you can be, and that’s scary!”

[@rutabagaroo882]

Ya know what would actually be Christ-like behavior? Criticizing the church for exploiting and hurting people and children. Criticizing “Christian” people for looking down and judging other people. Jesus did that A LOT. Also every time they plug their merch or Patreon gives the same energy as the people selling things in the temple in the Bible which Jesus made his point pretty clear by flipping tables and whipping people lmao.

[@electronics-girl]

I saw a version of "Jesus Christ Superstar" that was set in modern times, at the time of the Occupy Wall Street movement. I said, "That's interesting, they've reframed Jesus as an anti-capitalist protestor." My dad replied, "Jesus was always an anti-capitalist protestor."

Turning to Jesus was my prescription by church counselors after I had some traumatic events happen in my life, after 4 years I was diagnosed by a psychiatrist with PTSD. I can say from experience I did the shit out of all the Jesus things, scripture study and prayers daily, it didn't cure my very real problems. A shocking conclusion I know, but maybe addressing the problems is best 💁‍♀

[@PearlyKiss-509]

Exactly. It’s only after you’ve reached a state where you’re more mentally stable and open to change that you’re willing to take such a gigantic step that is turning to Jesus. I have severe depression and anxiety and was religion averse becauseI associated it with cultish bigoted fanatics. It took me until revenge to accept Christ into my life but only because I was in a place where I was ready for change and was willing to commit to it. Had I been doing this if I were mentally unstable, I would’ve became the same out of touch fanatic that I loathed. God has a timing when it comes to finding him. You just need to take the time to find it before you take that next step. I know that wasn’t the point you were trying to make but I thought it would be nice to address it.

[@sophiaisabelle01]

Womanhood is a fairly complex topic to discuss. Seems like there could be misinformation out there that can affect many young individuals. GirlDefined, no doubt, seems to have spread misinformation, although it can always be put up for debate.

Thing is, many people would go for the simple, wrong answer rather than a complicated, nuanced, and close to correct one... and that is why they gain a lot of traction

@@simolator It's just easier to think of the world in simple terms. Less brain fuel that needs to be burned to maintain that headspace. That's why it's so easy to convince a lot of people of a simple solution to a problem if that group is not already familiar with the problem.

Yeah, total fucking dorks, they have the audacity to think that their specific little gender binary with their impractically strict and suspiciously victorian gender norms is somehow eternal and naturally engrained into the programming of all people since the beginning of time by the creator of the universe himself. Even the early judaic scripture the bible itself is based on recognised and made regular mention of six genders! Meanwhile, their precious traditions just want to bring back the fuckin 1950s.

[@ellabiddy4741]

Why does what society deems to be a woman change anything about her life? That’s what’s so baffling to me. The growing acceptance of trans women has changed NOTHING about my expression of my womanhood. If someone asks me my pronouns to be respectful, regardless of what I look like, that’s not gonna change how I feel about myself or any other aspect of my life. If someone who doesn’t look like your classic portrayal of a woman but identifies as a woman, that doesn’t affect me in the slightest. When people are asked to “define a woman” why does it even matter??

Americans losing their minds over drag, saying 'waa how dare they show the children' absolutely kills me. Britain has been 'exposing' children to drag on TV for decades and literally every child has watched at least one Xmas pantomime, which has at minimum 2 characters in drag (a drag queen as a supporting character like the fairy godmother + 'prinicpal boy' who is always a woman). Literally wholesome fun that's been going on forever, its nothing new!

Fun fact: Homosexuality was never intended to be a sin. When the Bible was being translated from Hebrew to English, the translator(s) mistook the part about adult-child relationships as same-sex relationships. To clarify, the Hebrew passage was saying that an adult-child relationship was a sin and not that homosexuality was a sin.
